Ellen Tannam is uncomfortable writing bios for things but here we are. She is a Dublin girlo whose pastimes includes petting every dog she sees, eating chicken nuggets and trying to guess who celebrity blind items are about. Her favourite emoji is the upside-down smiley face. She likes to write about popular culture, LGBTQ issues, feminism, technology, music and baby animals. Likes include chocolate and cacti. Dislikes - people who are rude to retail staff, cheese, and people telling her McDonald's is bad for her. She knows.
Celebrity endorsements soared to new heights of ridiculousness in the year 2015, with seemingly everyone and theirmam willing to lend their face to any product under the sun.
You’d think that these famous faces would bring enough bread to the table from their main gigs alone but obviously there’s some sweet handy cash to be made for popping a picture of a detox tea on your Instagram.
I’ve compiled a list of the most outlandish endorsement deals for your perusal below.
Mariah Carey – Game Of War
Our Mimi makes an appearance in this TV spot for the mobile game. We’re not sure we buy her as a warrior queen, but the image is incredibly entertaining.
Jane Lynch – Vita Coco Coconut Water
Sue Sylvester shilling coconut water is definitely one of the more bizarre advertisements of the year.
Jeff Goldblum – Curry’s PC World
The iconic actor’s series of Christmas ads for the tech retailer are actually hilarious.
Scott Disick – Shine Masks
If anyone in the world would be the type to endorse a face mask containing real gold it would be Lord Disick himself.

James Franco – Guitar Hero We understand why Lenny Kravitz makes an appearance in this TV ad, but why on earth is James there? Since when has he ever had musical chops?
Cara Delevingne – Call Of Duty One of the world’s most successful supermodels makes an appearance in this ad for the massively popular game. Must be a big fan so.
Lindsay Lohan – Kellogg’s How much cash did they throw you for the Frosties picture Linds? Let me know xxx

Kim Kardashian – Diclegis
A morning sickness pill is probably the least glamorous endorsement deal Kimmy has ever done.
