Who are some famous people whose careers got ruined because they are jerks?
Kind of surprised no one has mentioned this guy yet:Tiger blood anyone?I am too young to have witnessed or cared about the rise of Charlie Sheen, I was just there for his fall. But damn did Charlie Sheen live a wild life. The sex parties he had are the stories of legend, as I have been told by the internet without any specific source. He has also been caught several times with hard drugs on him, and in him. And I don't know if this was before or after his rise as a comedy/action super star.But then Sheen sort of shot himself in the foot, and for clarification it wasn't with a needle this time. After a stint in rehab, which put his show Two-and-a-Half-Men on hiatus, he decided that he was mad at the co-creator, Chuck Lorre, and sent him a "nice" letter. FOX later told the public they were not going to require Mr. Sheen to come back to the show. When reached for a comment, as he was "fighting back", he eloquently said,"I wish [Lorre] nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words -- imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists."Charlie Sheen used to be paid $1.2 million dollars per episode of Two-and-a-Half-Men. He brought in the ratings, and despite all his massive drug parties and property damage he brought with him, FOX stood for it. But the man broke the final straw on the camel's back (it was actually a lot of shit, but this was really bad), and has been struggling to find an acting job ever since. It sucks that he has AIDs though. No one deserves that.
Does buffy the vampire slayer get any less cheesy?
It does get less cheesy as it goes on, but it is always pretty campy, and always has a lot of sarcastic jokes in it. As far as the makeup goes, you have to realize, Buffy started in the late 1990's, so the makeup and outfits are late 90's style - which would seem fine to you if you were watching it back then, but of course, seems outdated and corny now. The special effects/props do get better as it goes along too, as special effects technology in general gets better. In watching the first season of Buffy, you have to realize that you are watching a show made almost FOURTEEN years ago - it's not going to be comparable to a modern show made recently, with better effects technology and with up to date make-up and clothing/hair styles. Also, after the first season, as the show became such a hit, the network put more money into the production, so that also increases the quality of the show in later seasons.
Which actor/actresses who on their way to the big time got fired from a film or television set and never got work again because they were too difficult to work with?
I don’t think that’s a thing, exactly.Even the semi-famous who get too big for their britches get to work again. It’s just that they are relegated to smaller projects or lesser roles (and in Katherine Heigl’s case, cat litter commercials). Most are given several chances before they become totally unemployable, which very few on lists like 15 Difficult Actors That Nobody Wants To Work With truly are. The very worst cases are largely fuelled by drug habits more than diva antics/out-of-control egos, except maybe Mel Gibson’s crazed meltdowns. And even he got a comeback.Most people who get kicked out of the one lucrative role they have tend not to be because they’re privately ‘difficult’, but publicly so. Firing is rare for any vaguely central role, since it can cost a lot of money to recast and replace an entertainer. Even the obviously violent, like Chris Brown, go on trucking. Yet others, like Alex Pettyfer and Lea Michele, just about disappear from public view after their big project wraps up. The latter being a great pity, given that her immense talent has been banished to the realm of HP commercials:Of course, we are all on the outside looking in. We can only speculate the real reason someone got fired, ultimately. It’s interesting to think that all this negative celebrity gossip is a packaged product just like anything else a media machine creates for us… and we as an audience gobble it right up.Thanks for your A2A, Michelle.
