A career slump or a PR faux pas doesn't need to be the end of your life as a celebrity. After a brief cooling off period, or a stint in rehab, you can get right back into the game again, and almost as if it never happened. That's the case of the following celebrity 'players' featured in our gossip de jour post.
With Tom Cruise positioning himself for a come back, perhaps in the form of Les Grossman, popeater.com wanted to know what ordinary people thought of Cruise. So they took their video equipment to the street and came up with the following short clip!
What do wizards and vampires do for variety? Well they turn to a life of crime like Rupert Grint and Bill Nighy in their upcoming little romp about hitman. It's remake of a French farce and it's called "Wild Target". Here's a brief video trailer:
Speaking of comebacks Hanson is showing that they've still got what iot takes to trigger crowd violence among their fans. Of course they had to give it away by planning a free concert, but when the true believers got wind of it they got rowdy and the show had to be canceled. Here's a little clip of the mayhem:
We all know how out of hand teen aged girls can get. Perhaps that's why the cop in the following video dropped the hammer on one belligerent young woman when he found himself cornered by one of this unpredictable beasts.
Then there are those who've never been away, though we'd love to see them go. Like the cast of the Jersey Shore. Now the gang at JS are called 'guidos' even though few of them are actually Italian. Snooki says that one of her grandmothers was Sicilian. Anyway though they're not Italian, they've decided to base their lives on media cliches about Italian Americans: gold chains, orange tans, with lots of sex and working out at gyms, and at bars!
So basing your life on a media cliche means that you already have a leg up in the reality TV market. It also means that once you break through you can go on to being a cliche celebrity. That means selling out with a vengeance by endorsing all sorts of flaky money making schemes. Like the aforementioned Snooki. Snooks has endorsed a new weight lose program that could've come right out of the pages of the tabs - the Cookie Diet. Here now is a short clip on Snookie's Cookies:
I hear that supermodel Miranda Kerr had one of those celebrity diet planned for inclusion into her upcoming motivational book "Cherishing Yourself". Her's was gonna be a 100% natural diet based on sunshine, fresh air, and rain water! Miranda thought that this was a great idea since it's not only 100% natural but 100% calorie free. It got scrapped when her editor thought that it could encourage eating disorders in teen aged wannabes. Miranda responded that it can be an eating problem when you don't eat - there's nothing to have the problem with, so technically it's a 'not eating disorder'. The wisdom was lost on the book editor who still order the starvation diet purged from the book. In fairness to Miranda she does eat occasionally but in her case the meals usually make a come back, often in about 15 to 20 minutes!
When it comes to come back Ozzy Osbourne not only came back from career oblivion - thanks to his shrewd manager, wife Sharon - but he's practically come back from the dead! He's rumored to have at one time drunk 4 bottles of Cognac a day, been addicted to a plethora of medications, and even been treated for rabies after getting bit by a bat he was trying to eat while onstage. That's not even counting the time he broke his neck while larking around on a 4 wheeler ATV! He's also planning some kind of come back tour:
To continue on our comeback theme there has been another occurrence of Brooke Mueller. Now Charlie Sheen's current future ex can't be called a comeback. She's more like a nuisance that won't go away. She does have herself a new lawyer, and she has making return to rehab. Now Brooke's 'law talking guy' emphasizes that it's not a rehab - rehab, and that she didn't fall off any wagons. This is a stress management facility. No word on whether Brooke's been admited to be treated for stress, or as a source of stress. For the sake of the 2 1/2 Men producers we can only hope that this is a maximum security stress treatment facility.
So remember that in the exciting world of celebrity anything is forgivable; unless you smack a bitch like Chris Brown, or say a lot of racist shit like Michael Richards. Then you're toast and may as well go off to live in a Himalayan monastery. Short of that any sin is pardonably following some brief and usually nominal penance. By nominal I mean that it doesn't even come to community service anymore!
