“That Salt Sprinkling Prick”: 45 Celebs That Refused To Let Go Of Their 15 Minutes Of Fame 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.

Entertainment and pop culture expert Sington was happy to share his thoughts on how people can forge a healthy relationship with fame. According to Hollywood's Ultimate Insider, the fundamental thing is to find and maintain a balance between public recognition and one's personal wellbeing. This will help the person keep their sense of self intact.

According to the expert, "being true to oneself despite public attention" is paramount. Aside from being authentic, it's also vital to establish some healthy boundaries. These need to clearly separate your public and private life.

Sington told Bored Panda that celebrities can also use their fame “as a platform for positive influence or by contributing to meaningful causes.” So stars should think about what kind of greater purpose all the attention that they're getting can be used to help.

At the same time, while the spotlight's on you, you have to remember to stay grounded and humble. That means feeling gratitude for what you have in life, without feeling like you’re defined solely by fame.

That also means putting in the time and care to nurture the positive relationships you have in your life. Hollywood's Ultimate Insider Sington warns not to let fame hinder the genuine personal connections that people had made before they started getting public attention.

Meanwhile, new celebrities ought to develop resilience so that they can weather the “ups and downs of public perception and media attention.” Sington also noted that it's worthwhile to take a moment to think about how fame is transient. Instead, he advises to focus on “long-term personal growth and fulfillment.”

Bored Panda was also interested to hear why some people have such strong feelings when they hear about someone who they believe might not 'deserve' the recognition they're getting in the public sphere.

According to entertainment and pop culture expert Sington, there's a whole host of factors that can influence a reaction like that, from societal values and personal biases to envy and even frustration.

For example, someone might start comparing their own achievements with someone who's currently in the spotlight. They might feel that they deserve the recognition, not the person in question.

Meanwhile, other individuals are critical because of how a particular celebrity behaves, what their personal beliefs are, and whether they have a "perceived lack of talent."

There’s a whole bunch of reasons why someone would like to be famous. A lot of them are perfectly natural—even if an obsession with external validation and becoming famous might not be great for your mental and emotional health.

Human beings are fundamentally social creatures. We all want to be loved, adored, and respected by members of our community and strangers alike. A good reputation means more trust and stability in your life. On top of that, this high level of sociability opens you up to more opportunities to meet new people and establish positive relationships. Those, in turn, lead to a healthier, happier, more meaningful life, as shown by research. However, you don’t necessarily have to be famous to reap these benefits.

You can cultivate deep and worthwhile relationships no matter who you are, what you do, and what circumstances you’re in.

KoreanThrasher , Sony Music Entertainment Report

Arguably, being famous can act as a deterrent to quality relationships if you're not careful. This is because someone who’s in the spotlight tends to spend a lot of time interacting with their fans in order to keep their attention on them. It’s time that’s not spent building those meaningful connections with the people they truly care about.

Not only that, but celebrities sometimes have to deal with people who only pretend to want a real connection. When, in fact, they have a different angle. They might be aiming for money or to share some of that fame. Or they hope to use those celebs to advance their own goals. In short, some fans don’t see stars as actual people. They see them as tools for their own agendas.

Other folks imagine that becoming famous will solve all of their problems, whether that’s financial instability or emotional needs. We all want at least some recognition for our hard work and skills. And let’s be honest, many of us have daydreamed about changing the world and seeing our names in the lights for everything that we’ve accomplished.

However, you can still live a purposeful and happy life without being known all around the globe. It’s being recognized by the people we truly care about and our peers that matters the most. Moreover, you don’t have to rake in millions of dollars every year to be financially stable. A solid and purposeful job with good career prospects is enough. So long as you don’t spend more than you earn, save money every month, and invest part of your wages, you should be fine.

If you’re chasing fame for its own sake, you’re missing the point. Broadly speaking, fame is a byproduct of quality work and skills, whether that’s entertainment, music, dance, art, business, science, or anything else.

If there’s anything to take away here, it is that you should primarily focus on doing a good job in your passion projects and other pursuits. Don’t worry about whether or not you’ll reach celebrity status. Fame comes with its own intense stress, scrutiny, and emotional baggage…

For example she had an offensive tattoo but she didn't know the meaning behind it and then covered it as soon as she found out and used it as a teaching experience

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

When I am not perfecting the images, you can find me reading with a cup of matcha latte and a cat in my lap, taking photos (of my cat), getting lost in the forest, or simply cuddling with my cat... Did I mention that I love cats?

Agreed. Either I'm old too, or their 15 minutes of fame luckily were only 60 minutes, maybe 90, and nothing more.

I agree. After a while, you don't pay attention to hype or every 'next big thing' and so the flashes in the pan are gone while you weren't watching the pan at all.

Most of these people became "famous" only because of social media. If it wasn't for that, they probably would have become better members of society. Social media will be the end of the Western world....The older I get the more I appreciate having not to have grown up during these times.

Elon Musk. Born into a rich family,had one successful company that got bought out. Used his money to push his way into Tesla which was already taking off. Claimed he founded the whole thing and sued the two founders when they spoke up against him.

Milking 15 minutes of fame = continued, undeserved attention garnered through desperate or ridiculous behavior, like the island dudes or the salt sprinkling prick. It doesn't mean people who gained viral fame and went on to work hard for it or make successful careers or diversified. Kinda wish people would learn what sayings actually mean sometimes.

this is pretty much true for any Vice-President. Unless they have a 15 min of fame/notoriety moment nobody's going to remember them for anything. Take Pence for example - a total non-entity until he refused to knuckle under to Trump. That's his 15 min and that's what he'll be remembered for.

LOL the only celebrity I actually enjoy seeing milking their 15m of fame is Smudge the cat. Google him if you're not familiar with the name, he's very deserving his fame. Most of these people I've never even known they exist unless it's an international name since I'm not American and don't watch American shows.

Reality TV, influencers, you-tubers, etc - nearly all of these people are "famous", simply because people make them famous...and keep making them famous. I have never understood the appeal, but I don't really understand the about-face either. It is a bit like Dr Frankenstein turning on his monster....

I’ve got a grudging respect for anyone, however irritating they are, for taking a tiny amount of talent or having a tiny amount of charism or having 15 minutes of fame and then managing to multiply it into a small or indeed large fortune. Fair play to you, you’ve played the game VERY well, I tip my hat to you.

The island boys are the most and all that generation of rappers like "get silly tatoos all over your face and it works", we have one in Italy who covered ONLY his face in tatoos, even. I like when their videos get analyzed and stash of notes are revealed to be movie fakes of white paper sheet. The worst side of it is just the effect they have on young generations.

As for the poll question: It depends on what these 15 minutes of fame were. If it was because they became a meme? I would embarrassed like hell about that and go hiding. If it was because they genuinely had some sort of talent/ability that helped them become famous? Sure, why not.

Tony Hawk. He keeps hitting the snooze bar on his fifteen minutes of fame by posting these completely made up stories of being recognized while traveling (even when it's proven that he wasn't even traveling at the time). As if the common person is going to even remember a skater who had minor fame decades and decades ago. Just a sad middle aged man who can't age gracefully and still clings to his old youth and fame by his fingernails.
