Looking at the beautiful and smartly dressed stars of the cinema and the music industry, it's hard to imagine that their lives can be filled with serious problems, and the pockets are empty. Let's see what hides behind snow-white smiles and designer clothes.
It is worth a little push back the brilliant screen of fame and popularity, as it becomes clear: celebrities are ordinary people who are prone to pernicious habits, suffer from their own bad character and face bad luck and injustice.
1. Nicolas Cage
Having achieved a deafening success, one of the most adored and once-highly paid Hollywood actors is now being removed in low-quality films.
Wastefulness, a passion for expensive things, buying up real estate, personal islands, art objects and tax evasion led Nicholas to huge debts to the state (about $ 15 million) and officially registered bankruptcy. Therefore, Cage must agree to any proposed roles and very modest fees, which made the actor's popularity among screenwriters and directors with a world-wide name quickly disappear, and his rating plummeted.
2. Amanda Bynes
A talented comedian fascinated viewers even in early childhood, annually collecting the most prestigious television awards. However, the rapid rise of the career of this cute and direct actress ended in a sudden and scandalous fall.
The last appearance of Amanda before the movie camera took place in 2009, during the filming of the film "Excellent Lightman." The cause of the collapse is addiction to drugs and alcohol. Appearance Bynes underwent unfavorable metamorphosis, despite the girl's young age, and she often became the culprit of serious car accidents and disturbances of public order. In 2012, Amanda was even sentenced to 3 years (conditionally) because of a major accident. It is known that the actress was forcibly hospitalized several times in a narcological dispensary and a psychiatric clinic.
3. Mojo
In 1998, the talented Parisian Jan Destanol (Destal) began working with the progressive music producer Romain Tranchard. The fruit of their collaboration was the ageless single "Lady" or "Hear me tonight", sometimes still reminiscent of itself on various retro radio stations.
Unfortunately, the Modjo brand is associated only with this single song, the rest of Jan's compositions remained completely unnoticed. Already in 2002, the music promotion of the artist was completely completed.
4. Lindsay Lohan
Having started her career in 3 years, the star had all chances to become a brilliant Hollywood diva, but growing up and the associated freedom of action did not go to the girl's benefit.
Approximately since 2005 in the press there were references to Lindsay's problems with drugs and alcohol. The actress, singer, dancer and model in one person repeatedly returned to the appropriate rehabilitation centers, was accused of numerous offenses, including dangerous accidents, even served prison terms.
At the moment, Lohan occasionally flickers on the screen, as a rule, playing episodic roles in the little-popular sitcoms. The girl herself in a recent interview reported that she now devoted her life to studying Islam and trying to achieve inner harmony.
5. Eric Roberts
This actor has both talent, and charisma, and hard work, and perseverance. The only thing that hinders his career is a well-known surname.
Even in his school years Eric successfully coped with many-sided dramatic roles, and in his youth he played on Broadway, on the account of the star several dozens of musicals and performances. But on the big screen the man is forced to remain in the shadow of his illustrious sister, Julia Roberts. For some reason, the directors offered the actor exclusively secondary roles, and, moreover, negative characters. Against the background of the lack of self-realization, Eric got carried away by drugs and alcohol. But, even having overcome their addictions, the brother of Hollywood beauty still remains little-known.
6. MC Hummer
Stanley Berel (real name of the artist) became famous in the distant 1990 with the song "You can not touch this". The album with this single became the first in the history of hip-hop direction, which received a diamond certificate, which means more than 10 million copies sold.
The fairy tale for Hammer did not last long. Already in 1994 the musician released an absolutely disastrous album and a video that MTV refused to broadcast with a scandal. The following year, the producer and label that Stanley recorded, stopped co-operating with the rapper and terminated with him another valid contract. Bereal, accustomed to litter money (gold chains for dogs, personal helicopter, 17 sports cars, etc.), soon announced bankruptcy. All his subsequent attempts to return to the music industry with songs of a religious and patriotic direction were not crowned with success.
7. Judy Greer
A tall, beautiful, talented blue-eyed blonde was not seen by journalists either in seditious connections, or in the use of hallucinogenic substances. On the contrary, she - a supporter of a healthy lifestyle and serious relationship, is flexible and gentle character, zeal and diligence.
Despite Judy's indisputable merits, the actress was "stuck" in a series of secondary roles, albeit in sensational and even Oscar-winning films. The only loud success Greer - the picture "Fans", released in 2012. After that, the girl again returned to small roles, which, incidentally, she plays beautifully, immediately zamomaya audience. But the directors persistently do not take Judy as the main character.
8. Eddie Murphy
One of the most charming, talented and funny comedians for a long time was at the very top of the glory, breaking off in the blink of an eye.
The reason for the destruction of the career of the beloved policeman from Beverly Hills was male temperament. Murphy was officially married only once, but on his account a huge number of scandalous novels. The most famous conflict Eddie - a long relationship with the vocalist of the group Spice Girls Melanie Brown, crowned with the birth of a beautiful baby. The comedian initially refused to recognize paternity, so the newly minted mother had to do a DNA test. But even the medical document did not force the actor to take part in the education of her daughter. This behavior was not popular with the public, and Eddie's star quickly faded as early as 2013.
9. Courtney Cox
Legendary "Friends" still crown the lists of the most successful and popular TV series, remaining a favorite sitcom of millions of viewers around the world. But the career of the actors who played the six of the main characters was not very good, except, perhaps, charming and ageless Jennifer Aniston.
At the peak of her popularity, Courtney starred in the movie "Scream", the 4th part of which became the pinnacle of her achievements. Relative success for the actress brought the television series "The City of Predators" (nomination for the Golden Globe Award), where the type of her main character is quite similar to Monica Geller. But on the big screen Cox never shone, not having played a single serious dramatic role.
10. Tony Braxton
The history of pop and soul singer, the performer of the immortal "Unbreak my heart" began back in the 90's. Her first album almost immediately after the release reached the top of the prestigious charts, and Braxton's singles topped the charts for 2-3 months.
However, in 1998, Tony, being the owner of 5 Grammy Awards, became bankrupt. As a result, the state of the singer was sold, including the bonuses received. Since 2000, the singer rarely appeared in prestigious ceremonies and her songs were only sometimes played on the radio. Hardly having solved the material problems, in 2010 Брээкстон has again submitted documents on bankruptcy which confirm presence at the star of debts exceeding the sum in 50 million dollars In the same year there was last and absolutely unsuccessful album of talented pop diva.
11. Nikki Blonsky
The rapid rise of the career ended for this charming girl with the same rapid fall.
Nikki, having a tremendous voice, became famous for her role in the musical film "Hairspray", which was also put on Broadway (the play). After the overwhelming success of the young talented actress starred in 6 more films in the period from 2008 to 2010, on which her career was interrupted. It is possible that the cause of failure was overweight Blonsky. Because of the magnificent forms of the 21-year-old girl, she was offered similar roles in similar films, which quickly became boring to the audience. And Nikki did not want to lose weight, she said, she feels quite comfortable in her body.
12. Taylor Lautner
If the name of this actor is familiar to a few, then almost everyone will recognize him. Taylor played Bella's rejected ghoul in a megapolar youth vampire saga called Twilight.
Despite diligence and hard work, Hollywood does not feel favor with the young man. Even after Lautner scored 13 kg of mass in the form of beautiful muscles and cubes of the press for filming in the second part of "Twilight", the director of the film still was going to replace him with a more experienced performer. The final point in Taylor's career was the thriller "Pursuit", released in 2011, and showed a complete lack of acting talent in this attractive and athletic guy.
13. Megan Fox
Surprisingly beautiful girl, in which everything is beautiful - and the face, and the figure, and hair. Her talent was revealed by Michael Bay, who noticed Megan still on the set of the second part of the "Bad Guys" in an episodic role. A few years later, the director suggested that Fox play the leading heroine of the most spectacular movie of 2007, "Transformers", which brought the young beauty unspeakable fame.
It would seem that Megan's excellent career was secured, but her own character failed. The girl has established herself as a bizarre, optional, irresponsible and quick-tempered person, capable of unpredictable and strange antics. Since then, most directors have refused to work with it. Ironically, even after insulting Michael Bay in one of the interviews (the actress compared him to Hitler), the director condescendingly reacted to Fox and gave her a second chance, offering a role in the new remake of the "Ninja Turtles".
14. Kesha
The singer with an uncomplicated name and pretty appearance, very reminiscent of Shakira, loudly announced herself in 2010 with the popular song "TiK ToK". This single was the most successful track at that time, in total it was downloaded more than 12 million times. Kesha possesses not only a beautiful and strong voice, but also a writer's talent. The girl is the author of more than 500 musical compositions, as well as an autobiographical book on which in 2013 they shot a short series. Despite perseverance and diligence, lack of scandals and problems with hallucinogenic substances, the singer's career ended quite quickly, in 2012. Apparently, without the right connections and large cash infusions, giftedness is of little importance.
15. Kelly Clarkson
The winner of the show "American Idol", a girl from a small town in the state of Texas and a simple working family, captivated viewers around the world with powerful vocals and charming spontaneity.
Kelly's career developed rapidly, for a long time her songs were kept on the tops of prestigious charts, the albums were sold in millions of copies, and the popularity of the performer was compared to the glory of the rock diva Avril Lavigne. In the period from 2003 to 2013, Clarkson released six records and received a lot of awards and prizes. But, despite the fact that the last album of the girl became platinum and was accompanied by very praise reviews of music critics, her career gradually came to naught. The new collection of 2015 was completely disliked even by the dedicated fans of the singer, who, moreover, negatively noted the significant changes in her figure after the birth of 2 children.
