Brandon Routh.

He was the unknown actor picked to play Superman in Superman Returns. The film did moderate box office, Routh was dropped from the role. He's still making films but his profile has dropped like a stone. His last film, 'Dylan Dog Dead of Night' got a tiny US release date. I doubt it will get a UK cinema release.

Justin Lee Collins?

He's got a new acting role in the west end:

Television presenter Justin Lee Collins is to appear in the upcoming West End production of Rock of Ages.


The bearded West Country celeb is to play hippy bar owner Dennis Dupree in the rock jukebox musical which opens at the Shaftesbury Theatre on September 27 with a run currently scheduled to end on February 11, 2012.

WRONG!

Zig & Zag host a popular Saturday morning show on RTE Radio 2FM.

They were on kids' television for years.
Mary, Podge & Rodge are completely different.
Podge was the Evil Postman on The Den.
Everything else is a spin-off.

I'm shocked you don't know that.
Shocked.

It's a joke. Canoe Man and Lord Lucan - both also disappeared in suspicious circumstances. Canoe Man was caught, there have always been rumoured sightings of Lord Lucan, mostly in Australia.

Zig & Zag are voiced by the same blokes as Podge & Rodge though.

The characters were created and are performed by Ciaran Morrison and Mick O'Hara, who also created and perform the characters of Zig and Zag and Bronx Bunny and Teddy T.

Will Young had a small part in a radio play a few weeks back, which was baded on the true story of an 18th century woman famous for giving birth to rabbits. I listened to the play and he did NOT have what I would regard as a starring role, more a cameo. The BBC just said that to try and drum up interest in the play.

The songwriter had no track record in that field and was boasting how quickly he had been able to put the song together, which strangely did not impress me. I subsequently heard nothing more of the song or Danny Foster.

Surely the difference between now and yester year is that is that stars no longer fade away completely but can eke out quite a few years more doing minor reality shows and being talking heads on best/worst shows until their fame is at such a low ebb they are too unknown to be booked even for them..

Paris Hilton to an extent she is no longer shoved down our throats as she was back in something like 2005

The poor guy was crucified by the press at the time of his trail and I hope he gets some peace of mind and continues to be left alone. Talented man who I hope finds some outlet for that talent.

Blackwood was in Popbitch today. I never quite got him, TBH, but that can be said of many more famous people.

Maybe Cheryl Cole should disappear off our screens
what is the point of her ?
We ve had years of whining about Ashley's unfaithfulness
she's good looking but not in a stunning Amanda Holden type way.

When she's done some solo performing on stage at x factor its been less than compelling.

She made a 2000 mile dash to Cannes 3 weeks ago to get publicity and up her international celeb image.......... it still did n't stop the powers that be in American X factor from dropping the boring.... less than stunning celebrity.

Your'e running round in circles pet, like a rabbit caught in the headlights.
Go take a year off, study yoga, learn a skill such as baking
and figure out just who you are and your place in the world.

Give us all a break !
