What jobs celebrities used to do before they became famous

2007-09-24T04:02:00.000-07:00

Rod Stewart, the grave digger

Rod Stewart is the youngest of five children and was born in Highgate, North London to parents who owned a newsagents shop there. Minutes before Stewart was born, a German V-2 rocket scored a direct hit on Highgate Police Station just down the street. Rod Stewart had trials with the football clubs Celtic, and Brentford (based in West London). He then worked as a grave digger. He soon switched to a career in music joining folk singer Wizz Jones in the early 1960s as a street singer travelling around Europe; this resulted in his being deported from Spain for vagrancy.

Michael Dell, the diswasher

Michael Dell, founder and chairman of Dell Computer Corp., was a dishwasher at a Chinese restaurant earning $2.30 an hour. He is grateful for his early experience: "The best part was the wisdom of the restaurant owner, which I could capture if I came to work a little early. He took great pride in his work and cared about every customer who came through his door."

Sean "Diddy" Combs: paperboy

Diddy’s first job as a paperboy at 12 years old may have been a humble beginning for the hip-hop mogul, but he’s since soared from lowly to loaded.

Pol Pot, the School Teacher

Before he became a world-famous war criminal, Pol Pot was named Saloth Sar. As a young man, Sar studied carpentry and radio engineering, but proved a poor student so he became – what else? – a teacher. (And you thought your classrooms were scary.) From 1954 to 1963, Sar taught at a private school in Phnom Penh before being forced out because of ties to communism. Ever fond of alliteration, Saloth Sar became Pol Pot and devoted himself full-time to Cambodia’s Communist Party, eventually becoming the party’s leader, and by 1975, his Khmer Rouge guerrilla army had overthrown the same government that once fired him. In his four years of rule, Pot killed more than a million Cambodians. When the Vietnamese came to the rescue and invaded Cambodia in 1979, Pot retreated to the jungle, though he continued to orchestrate guerilla attacks until his arrest in 1997.

Oprah Winfrey, the young reporter

Oprah Winfrey was born in Kosciusko, Mississippi, to a Baptist family. Her parents were unmarried teenagers. Winfrey's grandmother taught her to read before the age of three and took her to the local church, where she was nicknamed "The Preacher" for her ability to recite Bible verses. Winfrey was self-helping her way to the top long before the world ever heard of Dr. Phil. Arriving at a radio station to collect a watch she had won through a promotional contest, a 16-year-old Winfrey read for producers and secured herself a spot as an on-air reporter earning $100 per week.

Teri Hatcher, the Cheerleader

An only child, she was sexually abused from the age of 5 by Richard Hayes Stone, an uncle by marriage who was later divorced by Hatcher's aunt. Hatcher began her performing career as a young girl taking ballet lessons at the San Juan Girls' Ballet Studio in downtown Los Altos, California. She later studied acting at the American Conservatory Theater. One of her early jobs (in 1984) was as a cheerleader with the San Francisco 49ers.

Hitler, the postcard painter

As a child, Adolf Hitler attended a monastery school and harbored dreams of becoming a priest, but he dropped out after his father’s death in 1903. By then, Hitler had a new career in mind: professional artist. And though the Führer’s precise but emotionless landscapes showed moderate promise, he was rejected twice from Vienna’s Academy of Fine Arts. Bitter, poor, and lonely, young Adolf moved between boardinghouses and hostels, earning a meager living painting postcards. Oddly enough, he might have been just another failed artist had it not been for World War I. Turning in his paintbrush for a pistol, Hitler volunteered as a runner for the German army. Turns out he enjoyed that world war so much that, a few decades later, he decided to start another one.

Sylvester Stalone, the lion cage cleaner

Sylvester Stalone, always the tough guy, was once employed as a lion cage cleaner. At fifteen, his classmates voted him the one "most likely to end up in the electric chair." In the 1960s, Stallone attended the University of Miami for three years. He came within a few credit hours of graduation, before he decided to drop out and pursue an acting career. Stallone's career began with the leading role, Stud, in a hard-core pornographic film called Party at Kitty and Stud's. The film was originally hard core and depicted sexual acts, but after Stallone's later success, the film was re-cut to soft-core and re-packaged as Italian Stallion (a reference to Rocky Balboa's nickname). The hardcore footage is apparently lost.

Dan Brown, the High School Teacher

Prior to papering the world many times over with his best-selling art historical novel, "The Da Vinci Code," Brown sculpted young minds as a high school English teacher.

Jennifer Lopez, the Legal Assistant

Long before Jennifer Lopez sang, danced and acted her way to superstardom, she briefly traded in her velour tracksuit for a suit of the pin-striped variety while working at a law office.

Benito Mussolini, the Writer

Before becoming the world’s first fascist dictator, Mussolini worked for a socialist paper, Il Popolo d’Italia, for which he wrote a serial later published as a novel. The Cardinal’s Mistress tells the tragic story of, you guessed it, a 17th-century cardinal and his mistress. And boy is it bad. It’s the sort of book where "terrible groan[s] burst forth from" characters' breasts, and characters ask one another to "cast a ray of your light into my darkened soul."

Fidel Castro, the frustrated Ballplayer

Persistent rumors would have you believe that old Fidel was a talented baseball player who once tried out for a major-league team in America … which is completely untrue. The fact is, Castro did play a little ball back in school: he seems to have been the losing pitcher in a 1946 intramural game between the University of Havana’s business and law schools. But the point there is that he was in law school not so much to win ball games as to study law. Castro graduated and practiced in Havana between 1950 and 1952, when he failed miserably in his first attempted coup d’état. After a brief stint in prison and a few years exiled in Mexico and the United States, Castro and his family finally took control of Cuba in 1959.

Will Britney Spears be finally left alone?

2007-09-23T15:12:00.000-07:00

LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!" screamed Chris Crocker on YouTube 13 days ago, in his tragi-comical video:

But even for a big fan like this, wishing Britney to be left alone could be good only if you're referring to a jail cell. Getting of her back - is way to dangerous for everyone around her, including herself. Drugs, booze, immoral behavior, public scandals, horrible attitude toward her own family, especially her children is all that can describe this scandalous celebrity. Somebody decided to put an end to all that, someone who was close to her... That someone is Tony Barretto, Britney's bodyguard.

Tony Barretto used to work as a professional bodyguard for Britney Spears for three months. This man saw a lots of horrible things during this period of time, but seems like today he finally decided to put an end to it and reveal the awful truth about this celebrity.

He said to News of the World: "I gave evidence to the court because Britney is out of control and needs help. I have done this for her children. She's not a good mother. She has mental problems. With her drug and booze issues, her home is no place for kids to be raised."

His revelations, kept under seal by the judge, went unchallenged in court, seriously hurting Britney's chances of keeping the children.

Wactch the exclusive video of Barretto's testimony:

This so called diva is well known by making public scandals and - dropping a baby on the street!(?) Let's remind ourselves about this "accident"

But that's not all, Britney was sentenced up to a year in jail, after crashing a parked car on August 6.

So to conclude this whole fuss about Britney Spears - yeah, she should be left alone, locked alone in jail, because even a rehab didn't work.

Jennifer Lopez - Pregnant

2007-09-12T22:28:00.000-07:00

It’s always a gamble to assume someone’s pregnant – they might just have eaten too much pizza – but here’s J-LO absolutely blooming as she took to the catwalk.

She hit the runway (wearing a baggy dress) to launch her new clothing line, JustSweet, during New York Fashion Week.

Some sources say there was a real buzz backstage about her expecting.

J-Lo is desperate for a family so let’s hope she tells us some nappy news soon.

What if there wasn't any glamour..?

2007-07-21T09:14:00.000-07:00

Have you ever asked yourselves, what would celebrities look like if they lived in "normal world" like we do? Without loads of money, personal make-up artists and nutritionists? If you have - you're not the only ones. Using the latest technology, experts from the web site planethiltron.com did some experiments with faces of famous people and bodies of "regular people". The final aim was to let the world see how these celebs would look like if they were one of us and to, of course, make a little fun of them.

Sexy divas like Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Lopez and Victoria Bekham wouldn't be so thin anymore. Johnny Depp, one of the world's most desired men would look like a cheap truck driver - in other words, not sexy at all!
On the other hand - some celebs like Keria Knightley might look even better as a normal pesrson. Pamela would definitelly be disgusting!

Celebrity Passion Party

2007-07-10T06:58:00.000-07:00

I didn't know how else to name this post, it would be too much if I wrote "lesbian parties" or "gay parties". Or after all, maybe not... Here are pictures of some of the world's most famous female celebrities exposed in strange situations. Note tha all of them suppose to be straight.

Starting with Angelina Jolie lesbian kiss - with a fan. There were roumors about her former lesbian adventures, but she denied that she ever had any affections toward women. Didn't she?

Liv Tyler already showed the world how passionate she can be with other women. These photos are about a month old, when she kissed Kate Bosworth.

Liv Tyler shared kisses with Drew Barrymore, before Kate

Here is how Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair cheer for awards in public

Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu are no better either

Ex - Spice Girl, Emma Bunton with anonimus girl sharing a lesbian kiss

Another pop star - Deborah Harry (Blondie) and Sofia Coppola in passionate lesbian moment, lol:

Famous models are also caught in "itchy" moments, and those were not for the use of photosessions; here is Kate Moss with unknown girl sharing a loving hug:

Again kate Moss, this time with Jemima Khan

This is what you call a true love celebrity kiss - Christy Turlington and Alexandra Valenti

Finally, not even female sportists are indifferent to each other; here is a proof from Anna Kournikova and Tatiana Panova

(Dumb?) Blonde Ambition

2007-07-05T20:47:00.000-07:00

Jessica Simpson has been working really hard on her movie for a while now, but it is looking like all 5 of her movie fans will be disappointed by the fact that the release date just keeps getting pushed back. Her film is called “Blonde Ambition”

Sources say: "First, the release date was set for Aug. 3, and then it was delayed until the last week of August. Papa Joe then intervened and said he wasn´t comfortable with the level of competition from other films that month."

This movie is really, really, incredibly crap. It´s not even finished and people are freaking out about how bad it is that they´re scared to release it. Guys, this is what the “straight to DVD” tactic is for. Spare poor Jessica the shame, she doesn´t need it, and people are going to be much more comfortable masturbating to all the inevitable shots of her tits at home than in theaters anyway.

Xtina Expecting a Baby

2007-07-05T20:36:00.000-07:00

Christina Aguilera is working on converting "Come On Over Baby" into a lullaby.
E! News confirmed Tuesday that the five-time Grammy winner and hubby Jordan Bratman are expecting their first child together. This will be baby number one for both.
There was no immediate comment from a publicist for the couple.
Deciding that there wasn't no other man for her after about three years of dating, Aguilera and her music-marketing exec other half swapped vows in November 2005 in Napa Valley, California.
The duo celebrated their first anniversary in Dublin in the midst of Aguilera's Back to Basics tour in support of her platinum-selling double-disc album of the same name.
Up next for the mommy-to-be is a jaunt through Asia and Australia, starting with a show tonight in Hong Kong. According to the oft platinum-haired chanteuse's Website, her last stop is an Aug. 3 date in Auckland, New Zealand.
Aguilera, 26, has also been tapped to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next year along with fellow musicians George Harrison, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Brooks & Dunn and Ricky Martin.

Celebrity Look Alikes Part I

2007-07-02T08:11:00.000-07:00

I'll start with female celebs, actually with their doublers or whatever the heck these people are...
Here we have a girl who looks like Mrs Smith - Angelina Jolie; you'll get a chance to see Mr Smith too, but later ;)

Now, isn't she fascinating?

Alphabetically, let's move on; here is Amy Whitehouse's doubler

I'll skip Paris Hilton's doublers this time, if you don't mind, I really need to take a break.. But I can't leave Britney Spears lookalike behind, especially for this girl's silly pose and face expression, lol:

Ah, these two are dear. Well, they're not dear to me, but they look a lot like dear Lady Di.

Luisa Veronica Ciccone? I mean - Madonna? Lol, definitelly not... not even close, but at least makeup is impressive.

Monroe's doublers are far better; both look a lot like Marilyn Monroe:

Sharon Stone lookalike, though we can't be 100% sure if she really look like Sharon, until she raises her leg... just kiddin' ;)

At the end - we have 4 Victorias Beckham :) I saw even more, but these four were the most alike the original posh.

Paris Hilton's On Drugs

2007-06-29T10:21:00.000-07:00

Well, she did make that pathetic pose as I expected her to do, she is trying to prove something to the world - you get that? She proved years ago who and what she is, so her efforts are useless. I'm not gonna give you any extra clips and photos where she poses, but I'm gonna give you one where she was caught lying about how she never used drugs.

Jailbird's Make-up Accessories

2007-06-27T14:07:00.000-07:00

How does Paris manage to look that, um, good? With three trunks of make up, enough false eyelashes for a Pretty Little Princess pageant, and a white-jacketed professional, that's how!

It doesn't look like she's taking TMZ's natural look advice. 90% of 209,000 voters in our unscientific poll said that a makeup-free Paris is more attractive than a painted Paris. This pro makeup person swung by the Hilton family's Bel Air mansion yesterday, so it looks like the ex-con will be caking on the foundation, shoveling on the shadow and gluing on the wonky-eyelashes. Stars aren't blind!

Lindsay Lohan Will Play Paris Hilton?!

2007-06-27T13:43:00.000-07:00

According to the rumours, the actress could be joining her fellow party girls Britney Spears and the Simple Life star herself for the project.
A source is quoted in a newspaper as saying: "There have already been negotiations with a major film company to make the Paris Hilton Biopic with Lindsay Lohan playing Paris - and Paris herself and Britney Spears singing the soundtrack."
Meanwhile, Li-Lo is reportedly prolonging her stint in a rehab centre in Los Angeles.
Her mum, Dina Lohan, said the Mean Girls star is keen to postpone her release from Promises Malibu.
Dina reportedly told a US newspaper: "She's going to be doing extended care. It was her choice."
The actress was arrested for allegedly drink driving in May and it's claimed she now wants to focus 100 per cent on her recovery.

Keanu Reeves Disgorge

2007-06-27T12:55:00.000-07:00

Nah, I really can't believe I put this one among the first celebrity pictures; it's so bloody disgusting, but I couldn't resist. Yes, it's Keanu Reeves throwing up from the car in the middle of the street. See if You can have your dinner now :\

Celebrities - They Were Young Too II

2007-06-27T12:37:00.000-07:00

Not necessaitly all celebs had to be ugly when they were kids, but you have to admit - they looked pretty funny comparing to how they look now. Here is Angelina Jolie, fresh from the time machine looking cute as a kid ;)

In grade school she liked to wear a "black velvet frilly little showgirl" dress and kissed the boys until they would scream

Angelina and her brother

If you still think she really has stuffed lips, then she must have done it at the age of, I dunno... 10?

Angelina with a guitar

Celebrities - They Were Young Too I

2007-06-27T06:35:00.000-07:00

Ah those celebrities... You saw them on TV and you think you know them. You even think you could certainly recognize them on the street, but think twice before you say that you would recognize them if you were somehow able to travel back in time, way back when they weren't famous.
No you couldn't... Wanna bet? Alright then... Let's start with this little fellow, you know him?

His name is (well, at least I think it still is) Marshal Mathers, few years ago known as ultra mega giga popular Eminem. Gotta admit, he was kinda cute with that finger sticking up his nose - my kind of a guy :D
