When you are a celebrity, you have to be aware of the rules of the celebrity world game—just because you are famous today doesn’t mean things are going to stay that way forever. If you want to keep your rich and famous status, you have to stay relevant. Unfortunately, many celebs don’t seem to realize that one day you’re a VIP, and the next day you simply aren’t.

The lifestyle of the rich and famous is something that is very easy to get used to. Who wouldn’t want a great celebrity treatment for the rest of their lives, right? However, when the time comes and you stop being famous for one reason or another, it really takes some time for a person to get used to that. Unfortunately, some celebrities seem to have a problem realizing that they just aren’t famous anymore. At that point, if they keep on insisting on receiving the same perks they used to have when they were at the peak of their career, not only will they end up disappointed, but they can also seem pretty ridiculous, if not completely desperate. So let’s take a look at 15 celebs who REALLY need to realize they are no longer famous!

Katherine Heigl

There was a time when Katherine Heigl’s career was on an uphill path. Her acting breakthrough happened when she got a role in the wildly popular TV series, Grey’s Anatomy, and, once she left that show, she scored roles in some pretty popular movies as well, such as Knocked Up. Unfortunately for her, her initial success was followed by a number of failed films that just made us all stop caring about her and the things she did. However, she doesn’t seem to realize that people will not just offer her great roles out of the blue. In fact, she keeps on auditioning for films that were way out of her league and she seems to believe that the fame will always be there for her, even though it appears that it is actually long gone.

Scott Disick

Scott Disick’s story is quite different from some other celebs’ stories because he never actually became famous for working hard on developing his career and achieving the status of the rich and the famous thanks to some of his talents or his actual work. In fact, many people have been wondering what it is that this guy actually does for a living. However, he was quite famous back in the time while he was dating Kourtney Kardashian with whom he shares three children. To put it lightly, his fame was actually a fame by proxy and it happened only because he became one of the regular stars of the reality show Keeping up with the Kardashians. However, Scott and Kourtney broke up a while back and with the end of their relationship, the only thing he was famous for disappearing. However, he seems to have a hard time accepting that.

Spencer Pratt & Heidi Montag

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have been trying so hard to stay in the spotlight it actually seems quite desperate at this point and, ultimately, no one cares! There was a short period of time where the two were sort of famous thanks to the show, The Hills, but their fame pretty much went away right after that. However, they must really have a hard time adjusting to that because they have been constantly trying to somehow become relevant again. They have appeared in a number of reality TV shows, for example, Celebrity Wife Swap, Celebrity Big Brother, Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!; and so on. However, no matter how hard they have been trying to stay in the spotlight for a while longer, it is just not working for them.

Ray J

While Kim Kardashian’s career got a major boost once the tape of her and Ray J was leaked, it didn’t work out the same way for him as it did for her. Sure, he became more famous, but unfortunately for him, it didn’t last long and people seem to have forgotten about him completely by now. He tried to make a comeback in 2016 with the show, Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, but very few people actually cared about that so it didn’t help him much. Sure, Ray J is definitely a jack of all trades, but, unfortunately, he is a master of none and, at this point, probably the only thing that could help him become famous again would be another leaked tape. Or maybe not even that?

Lindsay Lohan

Once upon a time, Lindsay Lohan had a very promising career ahead of her. There is no denying that this girl is really a talented actress but there is not enough talent in the world that could help you stay relevant in the acting business if your whole life is going in the wrong direction, which is the way hers has been going for the last few years. She’s had some serious trouble with illegal substance and alcohol abuse, she has been arrested multiple times, and she just stopped caring about her career altogether. She tried to make a comeback, but all of her newer films just flopped, and so did all of her numerous engagements to a bunch of men, including one Russian billionaire. Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem to realize that at this point, nobody cares anymore and everybody is so used to her being involved in different scandals that it’s become just boring.

Paris Hilton

There is no denying that at some point in the past, Paris Hilton was truly famous— but those days are long gone now. Her career in television ended around a decade ago but even then, she was more famous for her problems with the law than for her TV show, The Simple Life. And while Kim Kardashian, who used to be something close to Paris’ personal assistant, managed to build an entire empire around the show, Keeping up with the Kardashians, Paris has slowly but surely became less and less relevant up until the point where she stopped being famous altogether. Apparently, she is trying to make a comeback by focusing on her music career and she is currently working as a DJ. Did you even know that? Probably not... because nobody cares.

Kelly Osbourne

The main reason the world even knows about Kelly Osbourne is the fact that she is the daughter of truly famous parents, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. She was a regular on the reality television show, The Osbournes, from 2002 to 2005, and then she tried to have a successful music career of her own, but it really didn’t turn out all that successful at all. She also had over 200 TV appearances, the most popular being her work on Fashion Police, but the things turned around for her and her popularity started falling rapidly after some racist comments she made, as well as after personal feuds she had with the celebrities way more popular than herself, for example, Lady Gaga. At this point, the only thing that keeps her little bit relevant is the fact that she is still her parents’ daughter, but that’s about it.

Shia Labeouf

The former Disney star, Shia LaBeouf, was off to a great start in his acting career and, once upon a time, everybody wanted to work with him. However, the things have changed dramatically once he went a little bit… Well, let’s call it eccentric. Instead of focusing on his career, he became much more focused on sharing his personal opinions with the world and spreading the kind of knowledge he felt needed to be spread. In December 2017, he tried to get things back on track when he released a short film, Howard Cantour.com, but instead of making things better, he made them much worse, as he ended up being accused of plagiarism. LaBeouf removed the film that had way too many similarities to Justin M. Damiano, which was a 2007 comic by Dan Clowes, and he publicly apologized. Luckily, people didn’t care about his film that much in the first place.

Aubrey O'Day

Aubrey O'Day has been grasping at straws for a long time now to stay in the public eye, but no matter what she does, people just don’t care. Sure, got her five minutes in the spotlight back in 2004 thanks to her appearance on Making The Band 3, but she was eventually fired from the group. When she realized that her solo career is not going to happen, she tried to stay as famous as she could by appearing on reality TV shows such as Celebrity Big Brother, The Celebrity Apprentice, and All about Aubrey. Unfortunately for her, nobody was interested. On Famously Single, she met Pauly D, a Jersey Shore star, but just like her fame, the relationship didn’t last. It is probably time for Aubrey to realize that she is no longer famous and that she probably never will be again.

Christina Milian

Christina Milian used to be quite a popular singer, songwriter, and actress back in the days. She had a few music hits, as well as a few appearances in quite popular films, but they one day, her career just stopped, and nobody has heard of her for a long time. However, she decided she wasn’t ready to let her spotlight completely die so she decided to regain some of that lost fame of hers through a reality TV show, Christina Milian: Turned Up, that featured her and her family. Unfortunately, nobody seemed to care about the show at all because people have sort of forgotten about Christina Milian altogether. She seems to have a hard time with accepting the fact that she is no longer famous but unless she does something new and exciting on the music front that made her famous in the first place, there is probably not much of a celebrity future in the store for her.

Iggy Azalea

Iggy Azalea’s career was going pretty well up to the point where she simply tried to do too much too fast and it all eventually caught up with her and her career slowly came crashing down. The biggest problem was the fact that she said basically everything that came to her mind out loud and that caused her a lot of trouble and her fans slowly turned on her. There was a whole lot of drama going on between her and her fans on social media so she eventually closed all her social media accounts to take a break from all that. Unfortunately, her career slowly came to a halt along with her social media accounts and no one cared enough to ask too many questions. She tried to get back into the spotlight by recording some new stuff but most of them were simply unnoticed.

Hilary Duff

Most people know Hilary Duff as Lizzie McGuire and, unfortunately for her, they will won’t be remembered for anything else. Sure, she did some roles in some movies, but none of the significant enough to keep up with her teen celebrity status so instead of advancing in her acting career as the years went by, people have slowly started to forget about her and her fame faded more and more with each passing day. However, even though nobody really cares about her anymore, she keeps on appearing at the red carpet events and at the industry parties. Do you think anybody there is waiting to take a picture with her? Unfortunately, those days are long gone now and everybody seems to know that except for Hilary herself. It is about time she realized that she is no longer famous.

Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen’s career, as well as his personal life, has been one huge rollercoaster, with the constant ups and downs, until the point where it was all down all the time. He had a major success portraying Charlie Harper on the super popular sitcom, Two and a Half Men, but he got himself fired from that job because of his inappropriate behavior. All of that was followed by his numerous meltdowns and crazy rants on social media, and then, one day, he just completely disappeared. No one had any idea what happened to him and for a moment, the rumor had it that he was dead. Once he reappeared, his fans learned that the promiscuous life he used to brag so much about had a very unpleasant twist— Charlie Sheen was confirmed to be HIV positive. He still tries to keep in the spotlight via social media, but people have stopped to care about him a long time ago now.

Tom Cruise

A while back, it would be really hard to imagine that the day would come when Tom Cruise will become completely irrelevant in the film industry— yet, the day has come. He used to be one of the Hollywood’s favorite heartthrobs, he worked on a number of wildly successful films, and basically, every single ball was in his corner. Unfortunately, it didn’t last. Sure, he is continuously working, but no one has any idea what he’s been working on; and no one cares. He joined the Church of Scientology and he became a very dedicated member, all three of his wives have divorced him, Katie Holmes even asked for a full custody to keep her daughter away from him, etc. So both Tom’s career and his personal life have been going in the right opposite direction than they should.

Tyga

Tyga is yet another guy who became famous by proxy, thanks to the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Sure, we all know that Kylie’s age when the whole thing started was a bit questionable, but let’s not get into all that drama right now. So Tyga’s career started when he was just an anonymous young rapper who got into the spotlight through the Kardashians’ TV show, and once his and Kylie’s relationship was over, someone obviously forgot to tell him that he was no longer famous. He barely had a career before the news of him dating Kylie spread, and it didn’t get any better once the two decided to part their ways. However, judging by his social media accounts, he still believes he is famous.
