Snoop Dogg endorses Norton Antivirus. Why?

Snoop Dogg can endorse whatever he wants as far as I’m concerned. I don’t exactly think of the rapper as synonymous with protecting my online security, but it’s cool.

The fails just keep getting crazier…

Bruce Willis releases a "Die Hard" cologne.

The celebrity fragrance has been around for years. My mother was particularly fond of Elizabeth Taylor’s White Diamonds, but was the world really crying for a Bruce Willis Die Hard scent?

I guess it’s better than the original “The Sixth Sense” cologne which one tester voted down by saying, “I Smell Dead People.”

The fails just keep getting crazier…

Paris Hilton gets sued for not wearing her own hair extensions.

She was forced to step down as an ambassador for Oxfam who opposes working with businesses that operate in that area.

Lisa Rinna promotes adult diapers..

Lisa Rinna must have really needed the money when she became a spokeswoman for an adult diaper company. The gorgeous actress swallowed her pride and claimed in commercials that she gladly uses the product. However, maybe Lisa knows what she’s doing. She’sadmitted that for every ad she does, Depends will donate to her favorite charity, Dress for Success.

The Kardashians put their name on a predatory credit card...

The Kardashians received a great deal of negative attention when they agreed to get paid to have a predatory credit card named after them. The card, clearly marketed towards young people, featured exorbitant fees like a $100 purchase fee. Due to the extreme backlash, the Kardashians eventually removed their name and the product failed.

Kendra Wilkinson launches a "Hottest Waitress of Olive Garden" contest that The Olive Garden wants nothing to do with...

Former Playboy playmate and reality star Kendra Wilkinson tried to make herself an unofficial spokesperson for The Olive Garden, her favorite restaurant. She loved being photographed with bags of take-out, and she would frequently plug the restaurant on twitter. She took it a step into the uncomfortable when she launched a “Hottest Waitress of Olive Garden” contest for Playboy. The restaurant was never comfortable with this celebrity endorsement saying, “it is a complicated issue for the brand.”

will.i.am refuses to support his own clothing line.

This tweet speaks for itself! Oprah had a major technology fail when she plugged the Microsoft Surface as one of her favorite things… From her iPad.

Kiss releases the Kiss Kasket

Kiss has never been shied away from putting their band name on all types of products from dolls to pinball machines…and apparently even caskets. This real item was on sale from 2001-2008 and is now considered an collector’s item.

David Beckham ruins his deal with Samsung

A few years ago, David Beckham agreed to be the face of Motorola’s Aura phone. In ads he would say, “When you hold it, it feels like you have something really special in your hand.” Beckham was greeted with controversy, however, when a paparazzo snapped Beckham texting on an iPhone. When confronted about it, Beckham insisted he was “holding it for a friend.” As if that line ever works.

Farrah Abraham is doing well for her breasts

Farrah Abraham rose to relevancy after being a regular cast member on several seasons of ‘Teen Mom.’ While most reality stars tend to fade from existence, she managed to stay in the spotlight by releasing several books, becoming a motivational speaker and even starring in her own adult film. However, while fame may have been kind to her time has not. It seems plastic surgery has become the name of the game for Farrah and she is look quite old rather than younger. From breast implants to lip injections, we have to say enough is enough!

Tara Reid sexier than ever!!!

Tara Reid is best known for her role in ‘American Pie’ and now she is fighting off sharks in SyFy’s successful ‘Sharknado’ franchise. Tara has been criticized heavily in the media over the last few years due to some horrible plastic surgery choices she has made. From a failed tummy tuck to a botched boob job, Tara Reid is definitely feeling the heat from the picture perfect mentality of Hollywood.

Goldie Hawn ugly as hell!!!

Most famously know for her extensive filmography in 70’s and 80’s, Hawn may be one of the few on this list where age is her enemy. Not the Knife. While her list of procedures may not be as long as her acting career, she makes the list on the simple fact that she just used to be so cute.

Well… At least she gave us one gorgeous daughter (Kate Hudson) to cary on the legacy

Lil’ Kim better stayed in the '90s

Back before Nicki Minaj there was always a Bad B*T*H in the game. Some will say she was first successful female rapper. Its definitely something the world hasn’t seen before. Some of her classics being The Jump Off & How many Licks? . Yeaaaa , Now its coming back to you. She was the 90’s version of Nicki, and not that bad. Kim was actually discovered by Notorious BIG back in 1995. With her debut album Conspiracy generating three hit singles. She is one of 2 female arises to have 3 platinum albums. When you have this many eyes on you bad decisions normally follow.

Obviously Kim has invested some of her success back into her self in a poor way. Hopefully she’s cleaned up her act, because Kim had her first child back in June of 2014.

Joan Rivers why ??

R.I.P – The one woman that could get away with insulting every celebrity to their face. The lady would never stop working, and her age finally caught up with her. Joan was born in Brooklyn NY on June 8th 1933. She started getting in front of the camera in the late 50’s By the early 60’s Joan was already on The Tonight Show. Who knew she would become as big as she was. Mostly Joan is known for her Comedy, but she also had cameos in quite a few movies. ( Shrek 2 , The Smurfs & Iron Man 3).Behind all the insults, and criticism to others Joan stood up against a lot of desires. Using her talents to raise money for AIDS with Elton John.

Dolly Parton was prettier when she sang country music

One of the first women to start singing Country Music. Respect! Dolly Parton for anyone that doesn’t know if a Country song writer since the age of 13. The girl is the definition of a “O.G” when it comes to country. She is married to Carl Dean and their going on their 50th year anniversary in July. It seems to me that Carl has Dolly still keeping her body tight after all these years. A little fun fact for everyone about Dolly Parton – She is the Godmother of Miley Cyrus. So obviously she featured in the show Hanna Montana in 2006-2010.
What a career Dolly, but I think its time to retire, and focus on keeping your GodDaughter in check.

Carrot Top looks like a beast

Save your money, and lets not see him in Vegas. Vegas is a time to enjoy yourself, and be surrounded by wealthy people willing to risk it all. Carrot Top only has ONE of those two things. Willing to risk it All. Carrot Top broke out on the the Last Comic Standing in 2008. From there he did a couple cameo appearance, and started “lifting weights”. Their is one thing that I bet you don’t know about Carrot Top – His name or his age…

His name is Scott Thompson and he is freaking 50! All the negatives aside his plastic surgeon isn’t the worst we’ve seen.

Janice Dickinson is way to ugly than before

Being a Model has to be tough – Said no one ever. Why start getting plastic surgery to continue to model. Hag your hat up, and recognize your career is ending. Janice started modeling in the 1978 making 2k/DAY! That is CRAZY money for 2015 let alone making that back in 1978. Obviously she had something going for her, because by the 80’s Janice was considered a Supermodel. Models don’t ever accept the fact they have only been blessed with the gift of looks.
Of course Janice had to trying the music industry. In 2009 Dickinson recorded a whopping 1 song (Thank God) “Crazy”.

Megan Fox after surgery is like a duck face

Transformers 2. THE END. If only Megan would have left her body alone, and just stayed Mikaela. It doesn’t seem like much came from that appearance. Sure she had some cameos in other movies like The Dictator, Johan Hex & This is 40. Though she never took off like we all thought. These plastic surgeries could have something to do with it. Luckily Megan has Ninja Turtles 2 coming out in 2016, and she can hope to explode from that.I would still be willing to bet nothing comes close to the records she broke by posing for Maxim in 2008. I feel like Brian Green once had a Grammy and after 7 years its turned into a BET award.

Lindsay Lohan started using drugs

This is what happens when you go Blonde, Stay Brunette ladies. Her parents could have something to do with it too. Lohan started her career at the age of Three. Let me say that again – Lindsay Lohan started behind a camera at the age of 3! No wonder why the girl went crazy! Her career exploded win 1998 with the movie Parent Trap (Fun Fact: Which is a remake of the 1961 movie). The early 2000″s was a busy time for Lindsay – Freaky Friday , Mean Girls & Herbie. The movie that made 144 million worldwide and we all cant seem to find one person that actually seen this movie.

The late 2000’s are a totally different story for Lohan. In 2007 Lindsay was arrested for driving under the influence TWICE. I never thought that was even possible. After riding that roller coaster she proceeded to rebound by campaigning with Obama, and appearing on the Oprah show. Oprah saves the day once again.

Renee Zellweger goes from pretty to ugly

Every doctor when Renee walks through their door….. SHOW ME THE MONEEEYYYYY!!! Looks like Renee paid up once or twice. Hands down the shortest full transformation go to Renee. The once loved actress that stared in Jerry McGwire

, Me Mysellf & Irene & Bridget Jones’s Diary changed her WHOLE look. In 2014 Zellwegger appeared at the Elle Magazine Awards with her new look.She definitely got 15 more minutes of our attention. It doesn’t seem like she couldn’t get the same 15 minutes from any producer.

Amanda Bynes destroys her face

Those kids you went to Highschool with that you avoid at all costs – Only because you have followed their disaster on Facebook? That would be me if I went to school with Amanda. Such a sweet girl that turned into the definition of the psycho girlfriend everyone has had nightmares about. Amanda’s glory days started back in 2002 with her debut film Big Fat Liar which eventually lead to multiple movies and TV shows. Amanda couple never get past the Teen Choice Awards & MTV Movie Awards. When that happens you have to reach to desperate measures, and start using your body for attention.Amanda posed for Maxim in 2010, and I’m assuming it didn’t sell as many issues she was expecting. With all roads coming to an end the only thing left was “Pulling a Brittany”.

Daryl Hannah got arrested 4 times for plastic surgery

Daryl is what we call a D class Actress. She is best known for her performances in Blade Runner (1982) , Splash (1984), Roxanne (1987)…. Shall I keep going? Daryl would have had a much more recognizable life if she would have stuck with JFK. Unfortunately for Daryl I can see why John ran for the hills. Daryl is quite the felon, She has been arrested in 2006, 2012, & 2013. Mostly for protesting ; Surprisingly the protesting didn’t include anything to do with the Rise in plastic surgery.

Hopefully for the best interests of Daryl she can stay far away from your nearest prison & scalpel.

Donatella Versace destroys herself

onatella, The one name I would never name my children. With the way her surgeries turned out and with that name she definitely qualifies for the 6th Ninja Turtle. All joking aside Donatella’s is most known from her brother Santa Versace. You might of heard of them? Feel free to check this out if needed – Migos – Versace

Just like Amanda Lepore, Donatella was also in Zoolander. I think were starting to see a trend here.

We all appreciate your contribution to society. Without the inspiration to Migo’s record I have no idea where I would be. Nor any idea what kind of ugly , overpriced clothing I would be tempted to buy.

Amanda Lepore plastic surgery fail

Oh Amanda; The Queen of all plastic surgery. Amanda actually started off early getting her “advancements”.at the age of 19. Amanda spent the majority of her life Modeling and Acting. Posing in the French Playboy, and having her first cameo in the 1998 documentary Party Monster : The Shockumentart. Her most famous cameo appearance being the hit Zoolander with Ben Stiller & Owen Wilson. (Super Jealous) With the huge amount of success Amanda had Modeling and Acting she felt the need to try the Music route. Unfortunately Amanda had more success doing her cameos in the Elton John & The Dandy Warhols music videos.
