Mila Kunis Chews Out a Reporter in Russian and Other Bilingual Celebrity Interviews

So the big news for today is Mila Kunis' bilingual verbal slap at a press conference. Promoting Friends with Benefits in Russia, she replied to a reporter who asked Justin Timberlake why he was doing movies and not more music. The Russian to English translation wasn't fast enough for Timberlake, so Kunis,
who lived in the Ukraine until she was seven, replied in Russian for him. The Daily What translated Mila's Russian into English and it came out like this: “Why movies? Why not? What kind of question is that? Why are you here?”

After the jump…videos of celebrities speaking in foreign languages. Obviously, it makes them 10,000,000 hotter. (Especially Bradley Cooper and Kobe!)
