Revive someone's 15 minutes of fame

Make 'em famous again, for a few seconds, on this thread. The more inconsequential and brief their “accomplishment” the better.

For example: That shirtless “Soy Bomb” dude who jumped on stage while Bob Dylan was performing and danced until security figured out what was going on…he was trying to make some sort of “artistic statement”. :rolleyes:

Lorenzo Llamas (sp?), just because he wasn’t even given 15 minutes, it was more like 9.

Hey, Renegade was cool!

Alright, no it wasn’t.

[sub]Ok, yes, the Boyfriend and I were talking about them the other day, prompting me to watch the movie AND find a picture of them to put on my desktop at work. Hee hee![/sub]

Oooo, oooo! I forgot one:

The guy that won Survivor the first time and then apparently fell off the face of the earth, thank God, and not a minute too soon. Talk about a non-celebrity.

Also, Bobby McFerrin.

Adrian Zmed

Dick Cheney

Maybe for you. He’s from Rhode Island so we get to hear about it every time he sneezes. :: gag ::

The apple girl who did the switch commercial while she was on cold medicine.

Geez, my sincere condolences. He actually had a morning radio gig in Boston for about six months or so…part of one of those “whacky” morning zoo shows. They made a big deal about it when they got him, then quietly dropped him a few months later. He brought nothing at all to the table, aside from being famous for being famous.

ronincyberpunk, I was just thinking about that Apple girl the other day. Wish I had thought of her for this thread.

Hey, Nena is still a big star in Germany. A few months ago she put out a new single called “Old School Baby” with Westbam, one of the biggest German DJs. Not bad either.

Yahoo Serious.

Rockwell. “I always feel like somebody’s watching me!” Not any more they’re not.
Baby Jessica down the well.
