11 Famous Prom-Night Rejects

Perhaps you’re jealous of Madonna and her world-traveling, younger-stud-dating lifestyle: But at least you probably went to your high school prom, whereas the Material Girl “sat home alone” because she said she “couldn’t get a date.” The Daily Beast rounds up 10 more celebs who missed out on the big dance:

1. Miley Cyrus: Although she claims she would have been “the single loner at the back of the prom,” the Disney starlet missed hers because she was filming a movie with now-boyfriend Liam Hemsworth. Boo hoo.
2. Amy Sedaris: The funnywoman has said she “didn’t go to the prom, but I worked the prom.” Who knows what that means.

3. Mena Suvari: She very famously attended prom in American Pie, but not in real life. “I didn’t have that many friends,” she said of her high school experience.
4. Sasha Grey: The future porn star ditched her own prom to see a Miranda July movie. Another high school rite of passage she skipped: the SATs.
5. Paul Wesley: The Vampire Diaries hottie claims he “wasn’t invited to any of the cool parties,” including prom, because “girls didn’t like me that much.”
