“Salt Bae”: 30 Celebrities That Just Can’t Let Go Of Their 15 Minutes Of Fame
Interview With ExpertFame’s siren call can be sweet, entrancing, and nearly irresistible to some. Many people secretly want to be lauded and adored by millions around the world. However, some folks are better than others at making the most of the opportunities that fame brings them.
Inspired by u/angelikaMuur, the members of the popular r/AskReddit community shared their thoughts about which stars—both beloved and disliked—successfully milked what was supposed to be a brief foray into the spotlight. Check out their thoughts below, and let us know in the comments who you agree with.
Bored Panda reached out to Mike Sington, an entertainment, pop culture, and lifestyle expert from Los Angeles, for his thoughts on fame, why we crave it, and what stars can do to prolong it. Scroll down for the insights he shared with us!

The answer is Kim Kardashian and it’s not even close
Her mom released her [adult content] tape after seeing what it did for Paris Hilton and they’ve somehow managed to build an entertainment empire, nobody knew who Kim K was before that Ray J video, a few people knew her dad defended OJ Simpson but now everyone knows who Kim and her entire family is.
Romulans, Ferengi, and Klingons are a lot more attractive.
Nobody knew who any celebrity was until they did something that made them a celeb. This includes actors & musicians. How is this an argument? Furthermore, it completely removes the onus from the viewer/audience. Kim Kardashian‘s mother did not make her famous. She became famous from people consuming and continuing to consume whatever media or information she puts out there. It’s no f*****g different than George Clooney or anyone else. Arguing that people don’t deserve their fame or celebrity, especially when they’re one of the most famous people on the planet, speaks WAY more towards the masses of people who consume that celebrity, not the individual putting themselves out there. It’s no less deserving for her than it is for DiCaprio, given popularity is decided by audience.
"Nobody knew who she was before that P O R N tape (SAY IT)!" Say it! P O R N! Her mother released porn of her own daughter! Also, yeah, her Dad's profession of getting murderers off and her step-Dad's history of unprosecuted manslaughter didn't speak well for her having values instilled into her, either.
God as a Mom I can't imagine SEEING a porn video of my adult child much less releasing it to the public for money I'll stay poor anyway...
Salt bae.. bugger milked that cow dry and served it as steak in his overpriced, s****y steakhouse.
BP censorship will not let me use the language I want to say about this creep
He is the man grabbing at the world championship trophy at the soccer finale 😂
Load More Replies...OMG I have not heard this reference since college about 20 years ago my friends thought this video was hysterical.
Load More Replies...He tried to open a restaurant in Boston. Tried. It never served a single meal.
What's funny to me is that I never knew who this guy was until people started making fun of him on BP.
Andrew Tate (he was on Big Brother).
Sington told Bored Panda that people crave fame for a variety of reasons. Among the most common reasons is the fact that fame offers an "intoxicating rush of validation and admiration."
Furthermore, there's the "allure of power and influence" to consider, as well as the "promise of wealth and opportunity."
What's more, the entertainment expert told Bored Panda that many people also crave fame because of their "deep-seated desire to escape the ordinary and be remembered."
"For many people, fame is definitely hard to resist!" he said.
Dr. Phil
In 1995, Oprah Winfrey hired Phil McGraw's legal consulting firm to prepare for the Amarillo Texas beef trial. Winfrey was so impressed with him that she thanked him for her victory in that case, which ended in 1998. Soon after, she invited him to appear on her show, which turned into a recurring segment. He turned that into his own show and now 25 years in the spotlight.
What on earth impressed her? Man has all the personality and skill of a dried up ditch.
He helped navigate and win in court when the Texas Cattle association sued her. She got sued, in Texas, by cowboys, and won.
Load More Replies..."Dr." Phil is absolute garbage. He hired one of his very young female patients as his secretary, totally ignoring all conflicts of interest and confidentiality, had his license revoked (so he should be the LAST person to give anyone psychological advice) and generally treats his guests like garbage, especially the women.
He did not have his license revoked, he did not renew it (you need to renew them every few years) in 2006, and that was under advice from his lawyers, bc then he legally is classified as an entertainer, which means no legal liability for any advice he gives on his show as well as no need for malpractice insurance.
Load More Replies...The late Dabney Coleman would have been the perfect person to play him.
The TV show "Bull" was based (loosely) on Dr. Phil's previous career as a jury consultant. Even portraying a highly fictionalized version of Dr. Phil managed to make the otherwise incredibly charismatic Michael Weatherly seem like an obnoxious jerk.

That "hawk tuah" girl.
post4u: At least the Internet made the right person famous. She seems genuinely nice and is using her fame for good so far
I don't get it why she is "famous" all of a sudden. She made one saucy comment that went viral. She has no particular talent, she looks like every other girl and she isn't overly intelligent. I don't get it.
Well, if you think about it .... that rules you out of the meme world. Mindless c&p is where it's at.
Load More Replies...Someone described this as the most forced meme of the year, and I agree. But if she's a decent person, there are far worse cases on this list.
I heard she's feeding animals with the money she got from this, good on her but I hope she's feeding a hawk or two as well (where I come from "tuah - pronounced too-ah" means luck so I hope she's feeding a hawk for her luck as well XP)
I've been reading headines containing "hawk tuah" for weeks and still don't have a scoobies.
Load More Replies...The "Honey Boo Boo" kid and her family.
Oh, nobody mate. You can happily move on and not think about that ever again.
Load More Replies...Every single show on that network seems to be about exploiting and humiliating ignorant rednecks for the amusement of bougie urbanites.
Yes and she’s going good now thankfully, but the mother is still gross
Load More Replies...We asked Sington for his thoughts on how celebrities can prolong their time in the spotlight. He was kind enough to share his perspective with Bored Panda.
"Celebrities should build a strong personal brand, diversify their talents, strategically partner with others, master social media, and carefully manage their public image," he said.
Some other ways to contribute to long-term fame would be to continuously evolve one's career, as well as engage in philanthropy, and create compelling content.
Cash me outside girl? That was one dumb throwaway then made millions from fidget spinners , rap career to the next stupid scams up until make 50 mil on only fans.
She’s as trashy as they come but has squeezed every dollar from her fame.
Bad english for "Catch me outside". Offering to meet to fight.
Load More Replies...watched her on Dr Phil, made me want to slap the nose right off her face with that foul mouth and I can whip anyone's butt attitude; but a famous person she will never be in my book, just trash with money
Now she's had a kid and posted online her baby daddy beating her up.....still won't leave him.
I saw her on Maury Povich's show and I still remember marveling how he kept a straight face while asking her about her "interesting accent."
Unfortunately her net worth is more than any of us will probably ever see. Wtf.
For the UK - Gemma Collins. Literally zero skills, capacity to think or worthwhile for the world.
She REALLY needs to learn that a driving ban for DUI means you are not allowed to drive a motor vehicle on a public road even if you are the tart formerly known as Jor-dun. She's been banned SIX times since 2001
Load More Replies...Also Vanessa Feltz and Katie Price/Hopkins. Actually this could end up being a long list.
I've heard of all of these women in the US, but mostly only know of them as Page Three-type models. Sounds like I'm fortunate to never had to endure their live-action stupidity, although we have our fair share of attractive nitwits in this side of the pond, too.
I've never met her, only see way too much reality footage. But she's always SO MEAN! Can't all be editing, right?
Kevin Federline. Dude was and is a nobody.
ListMore5157: Dude pops up in the news every time they have a new Britney story. He's like Kato Katlin with OJ.
Same and when this was relevant goes and I had my dolly and girlfriend magazine, no one explained what he was other than a pain in Britney’s a*s, a guy who wore diamontee hats and shirts and the father of her kids 😂
Load More Replies...He released a terrible rap album that sold a grand total of 18,000 copies and was described by one Amazon reviewer as "so bad your soul will ache".
Yeah because she was absolutely hounded to complete insanity. Until you know or watch what the f*****g press did to her, shut up!!!! Mr I don't have a clue
Load More Replies...Consistency, originality, hard work, and passion can improve your chances of making it big. However, they’re not always enough. There’s a lot of luck involved in getting famous. No matter how skilled, talented, charismatic, and unique you might be, you still need a helping hand from Lady Luck to get noticed. Having your content go viral or connecting with someone well-known in your industry can send your renown rocketing into the stratosphere.
However, once you get noticed, what you do with all of that attention depends on you and your goals. Some are happy to enjoy their time in the sun and then move on. Others strike while the iron is hot. They quickly work to retain that attention or turn it toward the products and services they’re involved in. In short, they try to capitalize on their exposure and create the foundation for something long-lasting.
I got employee of the year in 2022 and for some reason my picture is still hanging on the employee of the year wall, even though another employee of the year was named in 2023.
Kyle Rittenhouse is a good one. Regardless of your opinion of him it's pretty hard to deny that we only know his name because he was a stupid kid who f****d around and found out.
My first thought was Octomom though. Literally famous for being pregnant and made her entire income for decades off that.
Actually it was the pedo that tried to hit him with a skateboard that f****d around and found out.
I hope that doctor is in jail for giving her fertility treatment - she already had 6 children!
We have here a good example of Science being abused to serve an evil purpose.
This is gonna sound silly but I wanna sit that boy down and have a man to man conversation with him. He needs a positive male roll model and he isn't going to get that from today's conservatives.
Much as it kills me to say it, Jared Fogle. He lost a bunch of weight eating Subway, got a write-up in Men’s Health, and filmed a few local commercials. That should have been the end of it, but then Subway decided to run with it nationally. He became an icon and inspiration for people who wanted to lose weight. He’d probably still be making a living as a Subway spokesman if he wasn’t in jail.
Yeah he’s in jail because he’s A PEDOPHILE, how did they forget to mention this . It seems an important fact.
Saw a documentary on YouTube about his crimes. They're WAY worse than what you saw on the news.
Poster neglected to mention the Kiddie Porn. Burn in hell, Jared.
He had the cushiest gig ever. Make millions being the face of Subway and give some speeches. Too bad he was a twisted pervert who used his status to gain access to kids.
Watching the South Park episode now is so weird cos now it takes on a whole new meaning half his lines 😝 I shouldn’t laugh but South Park does do that to me
"And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids..."
Because it’s impossible to know when you might go viral or get famous, it’s useful to have some sort of digital infrastructure set up in advance.
For example, if you’re an amateur artist, crafter, or baker who wants to get famous, you should definitely consider what impression your online presence gives off. It makes perfect sense to have a professional-looking website where you can feature your portfolio, contacts, and pricing (e.g., if you do commissions). The easier it is for potential clients to get in touch with you, the less ‘friction’ there is in communication, the better for your burgeoning business.
Furthermore, you probably want to link all of your socials together. For instance, you can feature links to your social media pages (Instagram, X, TikTok, Facebook, whatever else you prefer) on your website. Meanwhile, you can add a link to your site in the bio of your social media pages. That way, no matter what online platform someone finds your work, they can easily navigate to your site and buy whatever it is you’re selling.
Guy Fieri won season two of the Food Channel's next star series, which had recoding six episodes of a TV series as it's prize in 2006. From that, he has been hosting more and bigger shows, and has an 80 million dollar contract with the food network for 2021-2023.
He seems like a good guy. Goes to working class restaurants and gives them great publicity. And publicly supported his queer sister.
DDD gives a lot of small restaurants and local places attention that brings in foodies and tourists. When a DDD re-run airs, the average place on that episode has a 30% increase for the following week or so. Most have a 50% increase in regular business after the original airing. Also during COVID he helped raise $21 million for restaurant workers during COVID in 2020 to help them out, on top of hundreds of thousands to help small businesses harmed by the shut downs.
Load More Replies...Disagree on this one. He's super nice in person and has helped out so many small restaurants. He did one of his Diners/dives/drive-ins shows at a family-run Mexican restaurant in my city and changed their lives. They went from only a handful of customers a night to filled to the brim with a line waiting to get in every night. Two years after the show aired they were still slamming it every night. His charitable work is also unmatched.
It’s not refusing to let go of your 15 minutes of fame when you keep succeeding
He also goes out and feeds the people trying to get California to stop burning.
I think there are a lot of commenters missing the point of this post. Nothing says this has to be a bad thing, and no one is implicitly ragging on this dude. They're just saying he made the best of it. ALSO, the poster seems to miss the point as well. If you win something called "The Next X Superstar," then when they become a superstar, it's not a 15 minute of fame fluke, it's exactly what was intended.
Unlike many he isn't resting on his laurels here. He remains a fun, and engaging chef and host. He raises people up whenever possible and is happy to support everyone around him. He hasn't 'milked his one success' he has proven that he can be successful and support others.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard. Sorry, there's so many inconsistencies with her stories and I don't know where to start!
I thought she was going to do some sort of reform and advocacy work but now I'm hearing how she's with her ex-fiance, is pregnant, a baby registry?? I'm not saying she can't do those but she isn't true to her words.
Some people don’t need to be famous. She shouldn’t have been made into a celebrity, leave her alone.
I think it’s weird that everyone has picked apart her story to try and find that she isn’t who she is, leave her alone 😜 trauma affects us all differently and we remember things at different stages of life in different ways when trauma happens all the way to when your healthy and coping, perception can change a story and experience
I think given her childhood she should be allowed to live her life now she wants without people trying to find 'inconsistencies' and making daft conspiracy theories about her.
This poor girl spent her whole childhood experiencing severe munchuasen by proxy at her mother's hands. Then as an adult when she realized her mom was making her sick she and her boyfriend killed her so she could get away. She should be in therapy living a quiet life. Not on reality tv preganant by her prison pen pal. Everyone around her is using her.
Joe Exotic turned his tiger kingdom into a multi-season Netflix saga
Animal abuser and paid to have his nemesis killed! He's serving time now
I remember consistently feeling bad for all the animals whilst watching this on Netflix
Yeah, but the whole "being in prison" thing probably cuts down on what he can do with whatever he made from Netflix.
Of course, while it’s important to earn a living (food and housing ain’t free), money is far from the only reason why people want to get famous. They might be incredibly passionate about a certain subject and want to share their skills and knowledge with the world. They might revel in other people’s attention and simply want to be liked. Or they might want to use all the attention they get for good, such as fighting for social causes or supporting charitable organizations.
Fame doesn’t necessarily have to be a ‘bad’ thing. Wanting to be adored and respected is a very human desire. How society perceives your fame will depend a lot on what you do with it.
Ironically, Andy Warhol.
I see you are getting downvoted, but besides hitting it of with the collective art-studio and hitting a nerve in the market, wich was supposed to be ironic but became a whole genre, he did suck for what he did to Edie Sedgwick.

Ryan sea crest.
jarrettbrown: Seacrest was really smart with all the moves he made. From taking over American Top 40 to becoming the host of Wheel of Fortune, the man can stay in the spotlight all he wants.
American Idol sucks, nothing like it was when it first aired, it's all about how silly (stupid) the judges can act. The people who get voted off the Voice are way better singers in my opinion
Why, in the name of God, was he "chosen" to be the new Wheel host?!?! NOBODY EFFING WANTS HIM!!!!!!!! They should have done what Jeopardy did and held on-air tryouts and let the fans pick. God willing, he will not last.
I knew I was officially old when this tool took over New Year's Rockin' Eve from D**k Clark and I didn't know who any of the bands were anymore.
Charli D’Amelio for sure.
Nah I think Charli is a good enough dancer to have a little bit of fame. Maybe not as much as she does currently. Her family however have no talent and shouldn't be famous
Holy c**p! I looked her up (I know how to use Google! Nyah, Nyah! 🤗) because I’ve never heard of her before (this photo does her no favors). She has 155 MILLION followers! Good grief! Is it just because she’s super-cute, or does she dance really well?
She dances a lot. Apparently she's quite good, but I never found it all that interesting
Load More Replies...She won season 31 of "Dancing with the Stars." Never heard of her before or since.
What would be the first things you would do if you got globally famous tomorrow, Pandas? Which celebrities do you think are the best at milking their time in the spotlight? Do you think they deserve the attention they get?
Let us know what you think in the comments section at the bottom of this post.
Rovio, with Angry Birds. The game was ridiculously popular in 2011 during the early days of mobile gaming, and they spun that into an entire franchise which was (briefly) enormously popular and profitable.
Jordan Petersen. He offered one opinion publicly and yadda-yadda-yadda, now he’s giving interviews dressed like a rodeo clown and espousing the virtues of eating beef while his former therapy patients rethink everything he ever said to them. It’s the dictionary definition of quality mental health treatment.
This guy is absolutely disgusting. He ticks every box you can think of. Toxic af, misogynistic to a fault, transphobic and all around queer-hating. He literally made it his job to tell women why they are inferior, why they suck, why they can't work as hard as men, why they are unfit to make important decisions etc etc. He is one of those dudes who has "discussions" with college students (mainly young women) and then humiliates them by talking over them, turning their words around etc and getting off on that. Not to mention that he triggers all the "creep alerts" you can think of.
My former best friend (a girl, mind you) become super weird and queerphobic to the point she started supporting conversion therapy after she started consuming his content. So I still have a knee-jerk reaction to that f#cker's name.
Nothing wrong with crying but this guy literally cries so much about nonsense that, ironically, he should seek mental health help.
Dude creeps me out. Like Charles Manson vibes tbh. I can’t put my finger on it
The amount of downvotes on these comments tells met that at least one of his cult members is a Panda. Hi, Jordan Pandasen!
Ken Jennings got a whole career out of an appearance on a game show!
I believe the network came to him though in this instance. Finding a suitable host after Alex Trebec passed away must've been challenging .
In all fairness, he was on the show so long he should have been called co host.
He is OUT!!! Colin Jost of SNL fame not to mention Scarlet Johansson's hubby is new host
I Love Ken Jennings. He is no Alex but I can stand him along with his superior intellect.
The cash me outside girl, turned that viral moment into a whole career.
She also is very outspoken about the teen behavior modification industry. She states the place Dr. Phil sent her to abused her.
whoever thought trash would be worth money , been throwing it away for years.
The actress Kathy Najimy, known for the Sister Act movies and voicing Peggy on King of the Hill got her start on The Price is Right as a contestant. Producers spotted her effervescent personality and the rest is history.
I don’t think people understand what “15 minutes of fame” means. Kathy has always been a working actress. It’s not the same thing as a random person getting famous for nothing.
15 minutes of fame =/= "how a working actor got their start" Do pandas not know that every celebrity started somewhere? They aren't born fully formed.
Bert mf'n Kreisher has to be on this list. Dude literally has a funny story and rode that s**t into millions one way or another. I can't even hate him, just impressed.
This list makes me feel old, I’m in my 30s and I don’t know half these people
I would actually consider not knowing who most of the people on list are to be a badge of honor.
Load More Replies...I'll be honest I actually watched his Netflix specials on a whim...I didn't think I would use one of the descriptions he uses. "Georgia is the caveman who invented fire, Isla is the caveman who invented Stop Drop and Roll."
His Machine story was funny the first 2 times he told it but not the next 200 times. He's a hack and is only relevant because he is friends with Joe Rogan and has a podcast with Tom Segura. His glorification of alcoholism is reason enough to not watch him, but the forced laughter and his delusional vision of himself is just cringeworthy.

Walmart yodeling boy… saw a video of him performing an original with Lana del Rey. Going from meme to touring and being on stage with A list singers is pretty amazing.
This looks like a lost Hanson brother. Did they drop one before "MMMBop" became a hit?
Brittany Broski AKA “Kombucha Girl.” Now she has millions of followers, a podcast, and she interviews lots of celebrities and musicians. Went from a meme to a huge influencer, basically.
why do people wanna know and follow other peoples lives for , live your own and stop making these fools rich.
I just googled her, I actually love her meme format. She seems like a genuinely nice person, I'm happy for her.
What! Brittany's genuinely hilarious and a fun person to follow and listen to. Her fame's only starting to take off and i think she'll go far!
I only heard of her when she was on SMOSH. Also, as she was more or less a guest star there, I barely even knew who she was or what she was about.
Boston Rob from Survivor.
TheMadIrishman327: He’s made a living off reality TV.
I watched the very first episode of Survivor and never watched again. I think I was expecting something different. I wasn't expecting teams and challenges and reality TV drama. The Amazing Race was a better show.
I made a super basic web page in 1998 and spent the rest of my career making better websites for startups and corporations. Find out what people need and give them truck loads of it.
Aside from the main ones people talked about already,
What about the “looking for a man in finance” girl, dropped that TikTok, shortly signed a record deal, and has also been touring around with David Guetta.
Also, the D’Amelio family. Trying to be (not as successfully) Kardashians V2. Launched multiple brands.
Charli d'amelio deserved a bit of fame because she is a good dancer. The rest of her family can get out her limelight.
UK ones
Alison Hammond, voted out 2nd in Big Brother on the early 2000s and now the nations sweetheart
Rylan, one of the ‘personality’ contestants on X Factor, never a contender to win and is a successful presenter.
Alison Hammond is just chaotic good in person, bubbly, completely over the top, fails at every task successfully and is just such a sweet person. That woman even made Harrison Ford laugh tears in an interview! I want to believe that she genuinely doesn't have a mean bone in her body, please don't ruin it for me
And he is a notoriously difficult interviewee, from what I've heard, so that's saying something.
Load More Replies...These are talented people who got awarded jobs in the spotlight because they are good at what they do and lovely to work with. Not milkers
Rylan was a truly s**t singer, but he's a really good presenter on both TV and radio.
Tbf, they are both pretty entertaining. Alison however now just everywhere. Like, how can we miss you if you won't go away?
I get this sentiment but if I was in her shoes and i knew it might all disapper in a heartbeat I would make as much money as I could too, sorry
Load More Replies...Michael buffer , "Lets get ready to rumble".
Stacey Solomon - X Factor reject but had such a feelgood story that it catapulted her onto daytime TV in the UK. And from all accounts she's actually pretty sound.
Her, or Rylan. Reality TV guy who's doing the absolute best of making hay while the sun shines.
Stacey wasn't a reject, yeah she got voted off but she has a hell of a singing voice
Stacey is amazing! And the shows she presents are amazing too. I don't really have anything to say about rylan other than that his teeth are blinding.
Stacey sets the stage on fire with her genuine million watt smile! She's absolutely genuine and a asset to Loose Women!
That Australian guy who can’t drive and posted YouTube vids showing him crashing his parents car into their garage and his parents freaking out at his terrible driving. Years later he’s still trying to milk it as ‘Australia’s worst driver’ 🤣🫠
I saw a guy crash a car into a garage once (nearly hitting me as well on his way past). He didn't get famous for even fifteen minutes. He got taken away in handcuffs. (Yes of course he was drunk).
Megan Markle. Hooked the spare, left the RF and now won't shut up.
Never hear her say anything. Do see a *lot* of vile garbage published about her by Murdoch and hear worse stuff said by Piers "I hacked a murdered teen girl's phone and made her parents think she was still alive" Morgan (who delusionally thought they were in a relationship).
She honestly (i love history) reminds me of how they treated Marie Antoinette in her days 😝 so much hate for really no real reason.
Load More Replies...I've never understood the hate, but apparently people have a lot of time on their hands.
Media destroyed Harry and Meghan. The way they destroyed Princess Diana. Harry is doing all he is due to how his mother died, and I don't blame him.
Even if she did shut up she's married to harry so no one will leave her alone. I don't care about what she says or does so I don't know why people hate her.
I'm currently reading a book about the Duke of Windsor and it's very interesting...
Again. My profanity will be downvoted. She is a delusion dressed in prada
Larry Birkhead
Just some random guy who dated Anna Nicole Smith off and on for six months before her death. Turns out he impregnated her and gains custody of her baby, Danielyn.
He has a feature in People magazine with Danielyn every single year during the Kentucky Derby, for the last 17 years.
I seriously do not remember this guy at all, I remember the baby girl when she was born and then the older teen boy killed himself and I remember her old millionaire husband, but not Larry 😂

Pamela Anderson. She was just at a ball game. The camera guy probably showed her for less than 30 seconds.
So many of the posts here have nothing to do with "15 minutes of fame", all they do is regurgitate how some celebrities were discovered.
If I remember right wasn't that how several actress were discovered?? Especially in the early days of Hollywood? They were just "seen" somewhere??
Playboy Playmate, Actress, Model, Married to Tommy Lee from Motley Crue for awhile. Her new husband is a Trump f'er. Famous for decades.
Sam Worthington got a whole a*s Hollywood career out of winning a bunch of awards for Somersault.
So he got more acting roles after doing a good job with an acting role?
It's a weird thing. Johnny Depp got killed by Freddy Krueger, and now he's a mega star. And he didn't even win any awards for that role.
Load More Replies...And now he's on James Cameron's list of go-to actors he's basically set for life.
Ashton Kutcher parlayed a "dumb guy" supporting role on a modest hit sitcom into being a billionaire.
A modest sitcom that ran for years and years in several countries? That sitcom?
Nominated and received several awards. Has a sequel with That 90s Show. That 80s Show was inspired by it. Was remade entirely in the UK. Not a modest sitcom in the slightest.
Load More Replies..."Actor plays in a hugely popular TV series and then keeps on acting and has a good acting carreer". This is such a weird entry. Even if That 70s Show hadn't been very popular, this one would still be weird. Every actor has to start somewhere, pretty much every single actor has small supporting roles in unpopular series/movies in the beginning of their carreer. Or does OP find it weird that an actor plays a comedic role and then later plays non-comedic roles? Because that is also not uncommon.
Not sure Ashton is a billionaire. He played one in Steve Jobs, but I don't think he is one in his own right.
I can proudly say that, apart from Kim and Meghan whose names I know, I've never even heard of any of the others. Maybe because this is a mostly US list. Or maybe because I'm just not that much interested in celebrities...
But several of them are just actors who managed to get roles in popular movies or tv shows. I don't know how that's milking 15 minutes of fame, that's just being an actor, having a good agent and passing auditions.
Load More Replies...This list is ridiculous because it takes all responsibility away from the people who make them famous and put it on the individual. None of these people magically promoted and marketed themselves into stardom. An audience of millions of human beings seek out any sort of media or information they can on these individuals, which is what makes them a celebrity. I’m not famous because I don’t have 1 million people wanting to see me in pictures or on film or online. It’s simple economics. There must be a demand. So if people are salty that someone like Kim Kardashian is a worldwide celebrity, that speaks more to individual human beings taste.
I always think it would be funny if one day we just decided to ignore celebrities. Like how hilarious would it be if Kim K posted a pic and only got 3 likes. At the end of the day so many celebrities actually don't have much talent and the talent they do have isn't that uncommon.
It would show how many accounts that follow them are just bots

None of these people magically promoted and marketed themselves into stardom. An audience of millions of human beings seek out any sort of media or information they can on these individuals, which is what makes them a celebrity. I’m not famous because I don’t have 1 million people wanting to see me in pictures or on film or online. It’s simple economics. There must be a demand. So if people are salty that someone like Kim Kardashian is a worldwide celebrity, that speaks more to individual human beings taste.
I always think it would be funny if one day we just decided to ignore celebrities. Like how hilarious would it be if Kim K posted a pic and only got 3 likes. At the end of the day so many celebrities actually don't have much talent and the talent they do have isn't that uncommon.
It would show how many accounts that follow them are just bots
