The only one I didn't get was #2. Great teaser.
I absolutely loved this one. Good job. I didnt get Meryl Streep though. Great hints too.
It is Very Good Idea.I liked the teaser very much .
I liked this one, although I didn't get 2,3 or 8 But a good one. keep these coming
pretty clever. I don't watch tv, so it was a lottle more challenging- fun too
I got them all except for Meryl Streep. Great job!!
A few mistakes in the body. Overlook that and you've got a very nice teaser.
Great teaser...5 out of 8 isn't bad......I didn't get 2,3, or 5.......ZThen again, I stopped watching FRIENDS and I didn't get Meryl Streep. ..Nice concept.
That was great, I love teasers like this one. I too missed #5.
Hey that was fun! Something totally unique and different! Enjoyed doing it!
i got all of them theyre were pretty easy. fun too. these are the best kind. ACtion cutter? I figured it out when i got the Deli Moore. I wonder of any of those stars will appreciate the hilarious play on their words?
SLICK....OUT OF THE ORDINARY - MORE PLEASE
since I basically live on TV it was quite easy
GOT ALL BUT #5 AND#8 . SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THEM ALL. DUHH! GOOD ONE THOUGH
Very fun!! I thought this was neat and creative!! I got them all except Meryl Streep Hope to see more like that

Got em all except no 2 (never heard of him/her/it...........and who's Paula Abdul??
Good teaser..got them all except #4...fun
This was a lot of fun. I just happened to know all of them, but it could have been a lot tougher depending on what stage of the celebs' 15 minutes we're in.
Wow! Who's Paula Abdul? She's on American Idol (I do NOT watch that). She's an excellent dancer and made a series of commericals where she danced with images of old movie stars, great! I didn't get half of these, but, P Abdul aside, I deliberately try NOT to remember "stars" names and trivia, because I don't want them to have any space in my head, at all! LOL Good idea!
Clever teaser. Yeah, missed Meryl & Simon & needed the hint to get Ashton. Enjoyed this teaser more than any I've seen in awhile. Thanks.
Fun teaser!!! #5 and #8 were definitely the toughest!! "Mrs. Kramer"??? I was scratching my head trying to remember if "Kramer" even HAD a mother on Seinfeld!!! Boy, was I WAY off on that clue!! LOL
Good work on your teaser. It was quite easy, but fun! I got all of them correct.
To answer Mazza:
Paula Abdul is known mainly for her singing career. One of he most popular songs is Forever Your Girl. However, she was a dancer, choreographer, and a cheerleader for the Lakers at one point in time. She was also briefly married to Emelio Estevez who is the actor/son of Martin Sheen and brother of Charlie Sheen.

Very fun teaser. I got them all, but I think the hint gave them away. Still, it's a great teaser!
Great idea, enjoyed this one very much.
Really cute teaser, I got them all but Meryl Streep, just couldn't figure that one out.
This was a great teaser! I got them all! I don't know what that says about me but I liked this one!! Good job! Keep them coming!
That was sooo much fun!! I got them all!! You shold do more like that!! Keep up the good work.
Very clever nd fun I've seen many goofy spell checker recommendations during the course of my writing career, but never thought of turning them into a teaser! Glad you did! That was great!!
that was tons of fun!
That waz impossible 4 me cauze i have no idea who any of those people were exept 4 a few!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for a fun teaster!
I really like it. Had to see hint to get Simon. Most of us who read this teaser will now think of
Renee Zellweger as Renew Sewage every time we see her in a movie or on T.V.

I liked this one too.....Simon Cowell is an American Idol judge
So if Demi would have taken Ashton's last name, that would make her "Deli Cutter" Tooooooo funny. This was great

Well....for lorelle b.... i think she/ he is liying that he/she is related to Ashton. R U??? If so can you get his autograph for me??? How is he related to you?? Well... anyways great teaser. i loved it!!!
Very easy. I even figured out Meryl Streep after some thought. However, it was also a lot of fun. This one got a one-way ticket to my favorites list!
And listen, I'm all for expressing your dislike of teasers, but Maverick was just mean... At least give us some good reasons for not liking the teaser, man!

very cute, thanks
very easy and cute. i got all of them!
THE SECOND TIME AROUND, FOR ME, AND THIS IS EVEN LESS APPEALING THAN BEFORE.
I GUESS MY INITIAL REACTION AND RESPONSE WAS SUFFICIENTLY OFFENSIVE TO HAVE BEEN DELETED.
HOWEVER ONCE AGAIN I'LL STATE MY CASE, SUFFICE TO SAY, THIS WAS NO CHALLENGE.

Hey, Signme, pay 'IT' no mind, just its daily case of Teaser Envy speaking.
Nice teaser, and have a nice B-day as well.

EXCELLENT! What a unique way to use spell check.
Ditto.
was really great, got all of them
Real Sewage is hilarious
Real Sewage is hilarious
to easy.. and i didnt evan recognize three of them keep trying
Sounding the words out made it pretty easy and I liked it that I got them all. I use spell-check basically for my stupid typos. The old fingers don't hit the keys like they should. Nice job.
#8 got me, but i got the rest. Good work!
This is great! I got the 1st two while printing, the rest are coming to work with me. Great Idea!
That was fun and pretty easy, great teaser idea!
Love the teaser! Got all but number .8
that was GREAT! good job....i got every single one except for the last one! good going! rock on!

Pretty good teaser. However, my first thought was - who the heck is Simon Cowell? Then I realized Simon Cowell != Moviestar...
Sounds like "Mercy Stripe" tripped up a lot of us!
You have to be old enough to know the *who they are* and this teaser is easy. But, it is fun seeing the outcome with a spell checker. Entertaining teaser!
Too Cute for words. Didn't get #8 ' but the rest of them came to me. Really enjoyed this one.
Got all except # 4. I thought the answers were simple!
Got`em all 1st go, loved these real good fun, thankyou. Can`t believe how many posters on here today!!
Well this was the second time I saw this teaser...but I still enjoyed it the first time...you know what they say-the first time is always the best.
yeah maverick. that was pretty lame. they are just brain teasers. hello.. they are supposed to be a little bit of fun?? if you're so disappointed why dont you quit being a kill joy and write your own? yes it was easy.. but there has to be a variety.
Hmmmm, and usually #5 is a lucky number for me. GREAT teaser. It passes my smile test
That was easy, but nevertheless, very fun.
that was fun, thank you!
I got them all but it was very creative. Great job
Very enjoyable! I got 6/8 the first go-round, then Demi and Renee with the hints.
As for Maverick, you make me want to curse! And puttumup, YOU have to try again! As we can see, most of the posters were well-rounded enough to recognize all the names. I do agree that one probably has to be over 40 to know Meryl Streep (which I most assuredly am!) As I've said before, 'something for everyone'. Kudos to the submitter!

I loved it. I got them pretty easily since if you say the names quite fast it just automatically sounds right and then the real words come out.
This was a great teaser, I loved it.
@jacstop, with the "new" celebrity name riddles: How are those challenging at all? You only changed/deleted one or two letters in each name...

I got all except.. perhaps my lack of hollywood culture got in the way...
3 and 8 - I kinda knew who they were, but couldn't quite remember their last names...
4 - I had no idea (don't know who he is either, except from the comments)
5 was madly spellcheck-hacked and unrecognizable; how hilarious!
In fact, this whole teaser was hilarious!! Very fun. Cheers!

i LOVED this!
i thought it was hilarious. i never thought about how many people's names would be.... 'incorrect' according to spell check!
FANTASTIC!

If anybody needed more than 15 seconds to get this one,they overdosed on turkey.
This was so much fun. Had me giggling as I solved it. "Summon Cowbell" indeed. It's actually quite appropriate. Or an old SNL reference.
And lmurray, haven't you been kicked off Braingle yet? Could I interest you in turning off your CAPS LOCK key so that at least when you're being pompous you're not also yelling at the author? Cheers.

Easy and fun!
Still funny after all this time. Still didn't get #8.
GREAT TEASER-- REALLY NEAT
The only one I got is #7. But it was cool though.
Easy but very fun!
i only got Cameron Diaz and Maryl Streep bcuz of 'Fantastic Mr Fox', and Maryl Streep is in it
I can't imagine how anyone got the last one. It did not make sense to me. The rest were easy!
Got 'em, and didn't need the hint, though the Renee Zellweger one had me scratching my head for a couple of seconds. Then I plugged these names into an e-mail and had my AOL spell-checker vet them. The only transformation I got that matched any of the ones in this teaser was Cowbell from Cowell. I kinda doubt that any legitimate spell-checker produced the names in the Teaser, and I suspect that the Teaser's author simply made them up out of whole cloth Boo, hiss.
Very funny, I got all but 2
Got them all except # 8
They do not come any easier,including #8 which seemed to puzzle some viewers. . Hello DOEHEAD, wherever you are.
I got 2 out of all of them. I'm awful with celebrity names, don't care what's going on in Hollywood. But it was a good theme, nice job!
Oh, I LOVE the comments here!
And, cutebug, don't worry about Doehead - he or she left in a huff a while back because he or she was tired of all the reruns and people kept picking on him or her because of his or her comments.
Once you got to know him or her, he or she wasn't really that bad!
Have a great day, everyone!!

Way too easy.
simple simon
I dong even KNW these Stars!
I got every one except Meryl Streep.
I missed Renee Zellweger, 'though I should have tried longer! Fun one!
Got them all, but I still say "meh"
Teaser was easy; got them all right away although the last name on the last one (# was a bit of a stretch. I do not see how anyone can make that bad of a typo that is so far off from the actual last name.
What an odd and unique teaser? This is not one for the analytical mind. Go free associators!
I needed the hint for #2 and #4. Great hints, by the way! Fun teaser.
