Tobey Maguire: The Rise Of Fame

Hollywood is a place where things don’t stay the same for very long and as a celebrity you need to keep ahead of the curve. Fame is fickle – you might be in demand today but that can all change in an instant if you are not careful. All it takes is one bad move and celebrities can quickly find themselves on the outs. The cold reality is that stars come and go, so to really make a name for yourself as an actor and enjoy a long career you need to plan carefully and protect your brand. The stars on today’s list have failed to do that and it seems like Hollywood has given up on them.

All it takes to find yourself on the Hollywood blacklist is one bad movie or career move. It seems like some of these celebrities burnt too bright, too quickly, and

Well when last did you see him making waves in Hollywood? That’s right, it’s been a while. It may not seem like it was that long ago that Tobey was flying high on his Spiderman movie series and getting Oscar nominations but it’s been almost ten years since he did anything worthwhile and seems like he just can’t seem to get anything going.

We don’t think so.

She’s up against strong actresses like Anne Hathaway and Scarlett Johansson for roles and she just can’t seem to outshine them. Not only did she lose out on the role as Catwoman (which went to Hathaway) but she also blotched her audition for the part of Fantine in Les Miserables, a role that secured Hathaway a Best Supporting Actress Oscar. No-one said acting was easy,e right?

13 Lauryn Hill

In the late 90’s Lauryn Hill released a hugely successful album called The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill which debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and went on to sell approximately eight million copies. But that was it. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill remains her only solo album and since then she has only managed to release a handful of singles. Her star burnt bright, maybe too bright, and now it seems like it may have burnt out completely.

This might also have something to do with her legal woes and imprisonment. In 2012 the singer was charged with tax fraud, a charge that resulted in her serving time in prison in
