15 Minutes of Fame EXPIRED: Susan Boyle and Friends
The whole Susan Boyle phenomenon is an enigma to me. Is anyone else as baffled as I? Let's just say the likeliness of Susan lasting to minute 16 is a small one. It's about as likely as James Frey recovering any other title than, "that poor man Oprah bludgeoned on national television." Luckily, when Susan gets back to normal life, she'll have entire alumni of 15 minute Alumni to share a cup of tea with.
Heather Mills and her leg.
Heather Mills really shook people up with her marriage to Beatle Paul McCartney and then again with their divorce. You really don't want to piss of the Brits when it comes to marrying their beloved gems. So Heather did what most 15 1/2 minute stars do when they see their expiration date looming and she decided to be on Dancing with the Stars! Let's just say it was courageous and slightly uncomfortable to watch….
Esmee Denters and her YouTube videos
Esmee was one of many people on Youtube broadcasting themselves and taking requests from viewers to sing their favorite songs. Luckily for Esmee she was actually good. Justin Timberlake was one of her viewers and later signed her to a record deal, she appeared on Oprah and briefly on Justin's tour. Now she's………
crickets……… crickets……she's?…..Where is she?
Joe the Plumber and his.....plumbing? Wait no. His politics???
"Joe" was the Republican superhero when he questioned Obama while he made a visit to "Joe's" town. Let's just say I feel bad for all of those people with "I'm voting for Joe the Plumber" bumper stickers on their cars, because in a year from now people are going to say, "You're voting for who?"
….count on Dr. Phil, right.
Tara Connor and her coke habit
Crowned Miss USA in 2006, Tara ended up getting her crown revoked after being caught drinking underage and testing positive for cocaine use. Later pictures of her making out with other Miss USA contestants and whoring around surfaced. She did end up hosting an MTV show out of it all….I guess her bad behavior shows for something.
James Frey and his innacuracy
James Frey whose book A Million Little Pieces, a "memoir" about his treatment for alcohol and drug addiction turned out to be a bestseller until accusations that there were many falsities came out. Oprah then berated him on national television for being a liar to her and to his readers.
OUCH. I wouldn't want to get a lashing from Oprah.
Evan Marriott and his "million dollars"
" Joe Millionaire" was one of reality TV's true gems. The bachelor had supposedly inherited millions of dollars and was seeking a potential bride. Except for the whole "millionaire" thing was an elaborate lie to see how the girls would react when they found out the truth, would she stay with him anyway?
Turns out the answer was no and Evan is back to his day job, working construction.
Nia Vardalos and her Big Fat Greek Wedding
I never really got was was so damn fantastic about "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" but when it was BIG, it was HUGE. Everyone loved it, everyone saw it and it was even nominated for an Academy Award. Since thing Nia hasn't been able to recover and create something quite as big.
Kristin Cavallari and her "mean girl" status
Kristin was part of MTV'S big reality show Laguna Beach, that originally starred LC, or Lauren Conrad from The Hills. Now Kristin is getting drunk in Hollywood, and modeling from random ads in teen magazines. Looks like her sassy mouth didn't get her too far.
ALL of the former Bachelors and their doucheyness.
Doucheness? Douchiness? Hm. DOUCHE-NESS.
EVERYONE from the cast of High School Musical, except Zac Efron
Good thing he turned out to be somewhat of a hunky, delicious piece. Which he showed on the cover of Rollingstone. If you haven't seen it, may I suggest Googling it ASAP.
Ashley Dupree and her hooking.
Ashley Dupree or "Kristin" was Eliot Spitzers mistress, and high class hooker. Now I'm pretty sure she's somewhere waiting for a deal from Vivid Entertainment.
THE INTERNET MAKES EVERYONE A STAR!
LonelyGirl15 and her VLOGGING
LonelyGirl15 had thousands of people tuning into her vlogs, I'm assuming because they thought she was a 15 year old girl. Pervs. Turns out she was much older than that. HOWEVER, she did win a "Moon Man" from MTV for being the biggest internet sensation. Wonder what she'll do next?
Elziabeth Smart and her kidnapping
….Ok, so she didn't ask for these 15 minutes, I get that. Now she's apparently happy and well in Utah. Yay.
The Slumdog Millionaire Kids and their hit movie
They really are adorable and there's been quite a bit of controversy surrounding the fact that they had sudden fame and then back to virtually nothing. Let's hope if anyone's 15 minutes extend past their expiration date that's it's theirs.
Monica Lewinsky and her sucking....
Must I elaborate? Didn't think so.
Michael Lohan and his sh*tty parenting skills
Famous ONLY for having a big mouth and for being Lindsay Lohan's dad, Michael had a field day telling the press what he thought about Lindsay's lesbian relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson. Rather than telling the world, why don't you attempt having a relationship with your daughter and telling her??…..
What about the Twilight kids? I feel like they're on minute 16.....
"In the future, everybody will be world famous for 15 minutes"
Nastia Liukin and her Olympic teammates
Must be strange to train so hard for year and years for one moment as a gold medal, a few months of publicity, fame and endorsements and then…..back to training for a few years, just to repeat it all again.
Kato Kaelin and his lack in judgement according to choosing friends
Kato Kaelin was a one time house guest of OJ Simpson, and aspiring actor and a major part of the OJ Simpson trials. As far as his career goes now….??
VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED. There are a few cuss words…but boy, it is entertaining.
All of Britney Spear's ex boyfriend and their scuminess.
She really does have a knack of picking from the bottom of the barrel.
