Hollywood is not necessarily known for its virtue. In fact, it could easy take the nickname “Sin City” away from Las Vegas. And certainly the celebrities our culture seems to worship are not always the best examples of morality. We thought it would be amusing to match some quotes from the “Good Book” with certain stars that seem to illustrate the point. So, whether you’re religious or not, here are 15 Bible verses that could be about celebrities.

“They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin.”

For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.”
