The curse of being a child celebrity is well-known.
The too-much-too-fast lifestyle of partying and drugs, combined with parents who are just
as hypnotized by the fame, has snuffed out more than a few bright young stars.
But some former mini-A-listers have hung on long past their 15 minutes of fame.
Corey Feldman
From Feldman's hinting about a secret Hollywood pedophilia ring, to his cringeworthy performance
on Howard Stern, the star of The Goonies has become a bit of a pop culture joke.
After years of attempting a career reboot, Feldman landed on The Surreal Life in 2003.
A few years later, he tried reality TV again with The Two Coreys, alongside his lifelong
friend and fellow recovering addict, Corey Haim.
Feldman then pivoted to his musical talents, via Today show performances of his songs,
"Go 4 It" and "Take A Stand": singles off of his 2016 Angelic 2 the Core album.
After the first performance bombed, Feldman released a now-deleted video on Facebook,
claiming he was, quote "petrified to go out."
A month later, he returned to the show with a second performance, which involved throwing
an American flag on the floor.
Maybe he's going for "any publicity is good publicity."
Tara Reid
Although people think Tara Reid got her start in American Pie, her first TV appearance was
back in 1982 on a game show called Child's Play.
But somewhere amongst her accidental boob flash at Diddy's birthday party, and a string
of questionable projects in between the second and third American Pie installment, her career
stalled...
And then became a total Sharknado.
Reid told Today Extra:
"I was doing that movie and Sharknado at the same time and I was like, What am I doing
anymore?
Like what's happening, you know?
Like where did my career go from?"
Reid later walked out of an interview on Jenny McCarthy's Sirius XM radio show after being
asked about her plastic surgeries and her disastrous appearance on Marriage Boot Camp:
Reality Stars.
Reid told McCarthy:
"Babe, I asked you, please let's not talk about this show.
We're all here about Sharknado."
Tensions rose, with McCarthy getting the last zinger:
"Love you, Tara.
Good luck with Sharknado 18."
Lindsay Lohan
Li-Lo's been teasing us for years about a career comeback that never seems to happen.
First, at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, she announced she'd produce and star in
a film called Inconceivable, which, ironically, was never full conceived.
Then, in 2016, we were told by insiders, including Lohan's father, that her wealthy Russian boyfriend
had, quote "strong connections in Russia" which would be helping Lohan make a comeback.
They broke up after Lohan accused him of cheating and allegedly threw his phone in the ocean.
Once again, no movie for Li-Lo.
But Lohan now claims she has a reality show in the works as well as a fashion line, according
to The Daily Beast.
She's also been campaigning hard for a Mean Girls sequel as well as the lead role in Disney's
live-action The Little Mermaid reboot.
As a 30-something Ariel.
Great.
Danny Bonaduce
As he tells it himself, Danny Bonaduce's career derailed after The Partridge Family.
In his autobiography, Random Acts of Badness: My Story, he calculates that between the years
of 1974 and 1988, he worked for a total of 20 weeks.
Then he got into radio, and eventually became a reality TV mainstay with Breaking Bonaduce,
the show that followed the collapse of his marriage, his drug relapse, and even a suicide
attempt.
These days he's a wacky AM drive-time DJ for a radio station in Seattle, and he's been
popping up all over the media to comment on former co-star David Cassidy's struggle with
dementia.
Bonaduce claims they've been great friends ever since The Partridge Family ended, and
yet, he had no clue that Cassidy was struggling with the mental disorder.
On an Access Hollywood appearance, Bonaduce supposedly reacted for the first time to clips
of Cassidy having trouble recalling words to his most famous song.
Maybe he's a great actor after all.
Dustin Diamond
Since he played Screech on Saved by the Bell, Diamond made a sex tape...
Or did he?
Diamond later admitted to Oprah that it wasn't even him in the sex tape, saying:
"I thought, you know, I could totally fake this, I could get a stunt person to take my
place it's my face but nothing else."
Diamond also reportedly went to jail for stabbing someone in a bar fight.
In another interview with Extra, he said that entire bar fight story was blown out of proportion,
but that he did go to jail for the incident, describing his time:
"It's not like what you see on TV, I'll tell ya that.
It's pretty daunting, pretty scary going into that environment"
Then there was his "tell-all" book, Behind The Bell, in which he painted the worst possible
descriptions of his former cast mates, in between anecdotes about how much sex he had
as a result of his teenage stardom.
But then he told Extra that his ghostwriter had, quote "gone rogue" and made pretty much
the whole thing up.
Diamond also told Extra, he's still struggling to move past his childhood legacy, saying:
"How you come off of such a phenomenal, you know, phenom role of this Screech character
and then break out of that mold and do something different?"
Aaron Carter
Nick Carter's little brother got famous when he was 9 years old, and started opening for
his big brother's group, The Backstreet Boys, with his hit cover song "I Want Candy."
But Carter fans' musical tastes evolved, and the tween idol didn't release any music for
14 years.
That is, until his 2017 five-song EP, LØVË, an album that Carter recorded in his home
studio.
When asked why there was such a long gap between projects, Carter said,
"I guess what took so long was that I was busy learning, figuring out what kind of music
I wanted to make.
And, you know, really seeing what I identified with."
And there's one track that might ring a bell.
He said, "I actually remixed 'I Want Candy' for my new album...I posted a little clip
of it on Instagram and the fans were like, freaking out over it."
Jonathan Lipnicki
The little kid from Jerry Maguire with the adorable lisp and the eight-pound head, Jonathan
Lipnicki enjoyed star-making performances in roles in Stuart Little, and The Little
Vampire.
After an absence of many years, he resurfaced on the internet looking shredded, having transformed
himself into a sort of martial arts expert.
In a 2012 ESPN interview, Lipnicki gave his reason for never actually taking on a real
MMA fight, saying, "I've been pretty busy filming and I would need to [take] off a certain
amount of time to really train for a fight and be in amazing cardio shape and really
work on my striking more.
I'm not saying no and I'm not saying yes."
We'll let little Ray do the math on the chances of that actually happening.
Kirk Cameron
The '80s belonged to Mike Seaver, but by the time Growing Pains wrapped in 1992, Kirk Cameron
was more than done playing him.
Cameron's religious awakening had, by his own admission, caused serious problems for
the production.
In an interview with Christian Today, Cameron remembered demanding that a scene be rewritten
because it required him to be shirtless in bed next to a woman.
The show ended shortly after and Cameron embarked on solely faith-based projects ever since.
But the actor found himself in hot water a few times, particularly after his remarks
about gay marriage, on Piers Morgan:
"I think that it's uh...it's unnatural it's detrimental and it's ultimately destructive
to so many of the foundation of civilization"
Not exactly making friends with the Hollywood mainstream, Kirk.
But Cameron seemingly couldn't care less.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he said,
"People ask me that all the time, but I can't find a downside to my differences with some
in Hollywood because here I am talking to The Hollywood Reporter 30 years after Growing
Pains, and I have my own company where I'm making projects I'm passionate about."
