Tom Hanks.

I am still mad over the travesty that is the Sully falsification. I've heard enough about his 'bizzare' Elvis performance, and his unnecessary rambling in the newer Disney Pinnochio to feel certain he should've retired years ago.

Gwen Stefani. She just has that 'i promise I'm still cool' desperation to her. She used to actually seem cool.

JK Rowling and Jeremy Clarkson.

Aaron Rodgers, since he turned into the Q-B

Washed up yes, what is he hocking to try to cling?

Religion, to try and dodge sex abuse charges

Half the 2000s Silicon Valley star executives seem to be there. Mark Zuckerberg even dresses like he’s in a Limp Bizkit cover band now. They’re not irrelevant due to money/power but they aren’t culturally relevant anymore and are seemingly all having a collective midlife crisis.

Does Steven Seagal still fit here?

Dr. Phil?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Was Steven Seagal ever relevant? I mean besides the "so trashy that it's occasionally fun", guilty-pleasure type of relevance he briefly enjoyed in the 1980s?

Hence the question! I mean I feel like he had a certain relevance in his prime. Every now and then he pops up shilling for some crazy right-wing cause... or as a Sheriff's Deputy. Similar to Dr. Phil going out on ICE raids.

Yeah fuck that guy, what a total piece of shit.

Isn't that the actor that hat had an actual cult following?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He's also the front man for Thirty Seconds to Mars

He was one of my favourite tennis players...what did he do? Haven't heard anything about him in years.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You should read his wiki page--quite the rollercoaster from tax evasion, Wimbledon commentator, professional poker player, to prison.

I wouldn’t call tax evasion and getting locked up as seeking relevancy but you do you.

Hes even participated in Jungle camps to stay relevant

In May 2009, Becker announced the launch of online media platform Boris Becker TV. The website, in English and German, features clips from his career and footage of his daily life.[49]

Now these are reasons. I agree. Participating in reality TV trash like Dschungelcamp is a cry for attention.

Tax evasion and getting arrested isn’t.
