Consider this: It's someone's job at Jimmy Kimmel Live to dig through Twitter for profane and insulting tweets about celebrities, then invite those famous people on to read them on national TV. And big-name stars do, too. In this installment of Kimmel's "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets," Lisa Kudrow, Adam Sandler, Gerard Butler, Britney Spears, Gwyneth Paltrow, Chloë Grace Moretz, John Stamos, and Bob Newhart, plus a few others, gamely read unkind things about themselves for our entertainment. So, well, enjoy. --Peter Weber
