In the fickle world of Hollywood, it's hard for a star to rise to fame — and exceptionally
easy for them to fall out of the public's good graces.
A couple of box office flops, some personal issues, or even a decision to take time off
could spell career disaster.
For these actors, their towering celebrity status just isn't what it used to be.
Here's why.
Dane Cook
Back in the early aughts, you couldn't go anywhere without hearing how Dane Cook was
the funniest dude alive.
But those days are long gone now, and he has a few bad films and joke choices to blame
for his rapid loss of luster.
For starters, his first major outing on the big screen was a serious flop, with 2006's
Employee of the Month being funny for all the wrong reasons.
His next attempt at being the leading man in Good Luck Chuck was also widely maligned.
"Uh oh uh oh uh oh uh oh, raise the habitat!
Haha!"
And despite dropping his loud funny guy schtick for a more dramatic role in Mr. Brooks, his
attempt at reinvention didn't impress enough to keep his silver screen career afloat.
He might've been able to sell tickets for his stand up routines, but audiences just
weren't interested in his acting.
Meanwhile, his comedic reputation also took a major hit when he was the subject of multiple
joke theft accusations, and — even worse — made an untimely joke about a mass shooting.
"That's really great.
Good for you, man."
He's recently had some progress turning things around with a voice role in Disney's Planes
movies and a brief stint on American Gods, so don't count him out just yet.
"If it's gonna swing far and high this way, then you kinda know that it's gonna, you
know, it's gonna swing back the other, it's gonna settle."
Jim Carrey
Back in his heydey, Jim Carrey was the undisputed king of the box office.
Films like The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, and Liar Liar regularly made bank and solidified
his status as a star.
He even had some success on the dramatic scene, with films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless
Mind and The Number 23 making an impression with audiences.
After a while, however, his on-screen wit alone wasn't enough, and Carrey started disappearing
into roles that went heavy on the special effects, like How the Grinch Stole Christmas
and Horton Hears a Who.
Eventually his star power started to fade, and films like Mr. Popper's Penguins and The
Incredible Burt Wonderstone proved he wasn't as secure a box office draw as everyone expected
him to be.
"This concludes our broadcast day."
His decline in demand also seemed to coincide with some personal issues Carrey was experiencing,
including the suicide of his ex-girlfriend Cathriona White, which spawned an ugly legal
battle.
Nowadays, he's taken up painting, and it seems he's quite good at it.
As he says in his new documentary, I Needed Color:
"You know, the bottom line with all of this, whether it's performance, or it's art, or
it's sculpture, is love."
Matthew Fox
Since Lost, uh, got lost in 2010, Matthew Fox's Hollywood career has taken a nosedive,
for reasons both professional and personal.
On the professional side, his movie career never quite took off.
His cinematic outing as the villain in Alex Cross failed to establish him as a big screen
staple, and his promising role in World War Z was basically scrapped and left to collect
dust in the editing room.
On the personal side, Fox has also been battling nasty headlines in recent years, including
allegations that he hit a female bus driver.
"You know it's been a very tough year for myself and my family.
It's difficult to be accused of something that you did not do."
And he was also busted for a DUI that he fully admitted to.
If that wasn't enough, Fox also hinted to Men's Fitness in 2012 that he may be ready
to give up acting anyway, saying, "If I don't get quality opportunities, you probably won't
see much of me.
I'll probably be doing something else."
Considering he hasn't been seen on-screen for several years, well, it looks like he's
making good on that promise.
Jessica Alba
At one point, Jessica Alba was a budding "it" girl in Hollywood, with her own TV show and
franchise roles to boot.
But that all fell apart once people started to wonder whether she was actually even a
good actress.
Thanks to films like The Killer Inside Me and Little Fockers, Alba won a Razzie for
"Worst Supporting Actress" in 2011, right around when the offers started drying up.
She ultimately began distancing herself from the cameras once she became a mother and began
a business empire with The Honest Company instead.
That company has honestly grown into a billion-dollar industry, and Alba hasn't had to do much screen
work to support her growing family as a result.
She's made a couple of on-screen appearances in recent years, like a cameo in Taylor Swift's
"Bad Blood" video and as herself in the film follow-up to Entourage.
But we probably won't be seeing "Jessica Alba" scrawled across the marquee again any time
soon.
"The only thing you got right was my name."
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Although she's probably best-known for her starring role in TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
Sarah Michelle Gellar also earned scream queen status thanks her work in films like I Know
What You Did Last Summer and Scream 2.
After her vampire-slaying days were finished, Gellar went on to reclaim her horror movie
moment with a starring role in The Grudge series.
But by then she'd endured a few flops like Simply Irresistible and the critically maligned
live-action adaptation of Scooby-Doo.
So, soon enough, she found herself starring in genre schlock like The Return and Possession.
Around the same time, her small screen career started going south as well, with back-to-back
cancellations of her shows Ringer and The Crazy Ones.
Even the attempted small screen revival of Cruel Intentions didn't pan out.
"You don't stand a chance.
Even this is out of your league."
But it hasn't been all bad news for Gellar.
She's found some success doing voice-over work for TV's Star Wars: Rebels series and
launched a "cooking and lifestyle brand" called Foodstirs.
She's also the proud mother of two kids, whom she had with actor and fellow '90s sensation
Freddie Prinze Jr.
Billy Zane
Playing the villain in what was then the biggest movie of all-time proved to be difficult for
Billy Zane, who spent years trying to convince audiences that he isn't always the snooty
British guy who tormented Kate Winslet in Titanic.
Unfortunately, Zane hasn't had all that much luck accomplishing that goal.
Instead, he starred in a whole string of movies you've probably never heard of.
Even his TV stints haven't stayed on the air long enough to keep his career afloat.
For example, Freeform canceled Guilt after just one season, and he starred in just a
single episode of Community.
However, Zane hasn't had any trouble keeping the lights on over the years.
Despite his lower profile, the actor has still been working steadily in smaller roles over
the years since his Cal Hockley days.
Tom Welling
After starring as a high school Superman in TV's Smallville for 10 years, Tom Welling
earned himself a break from Hollywood.
The actor retreated from the screen scene for a few years, occasionally popping up in
movies along the way like Parkland, Draft Day, and The Choice.
In recent years, however, Welling seems poised for a comeback on the small screen.
Although CBS declined to pick up a pilot starring Welling as a CIA black ops agent, he is expected
to join the third season of Fox's Lucifer.
Chances are good the gig won't last as long as his last television turn, but it may help
put his name back into the mainstream again sooner than later.
Christopher Mintz-Plasse
It's been a full decade since Superbad was released, but for many, Christopher Mintz-Plasse
is still best known as the nerdy McLovin.
The good news is that notoriety helped him score roles in pics like Role Models, Kick-Ass,
and Pitch Perfect.
The bad news is that he was totally typecast and his appearances felt like a rehash of
his fame-making role.
"Wait'll they get a load of me."
In recent years, Mintz-Plasse has branched out to other genres, including voice-over
work, music, and television, with some of those endeavors proving to be more successful
than others.
He celebrated his 28th birthday in 2017, so Mintz-Plasse is also growing out of his nerdy
youth and into a legitimately dapper dude, which could finally help him shed his Superbad
image once and for all.
Katherine Heigl
The dramatic downfall of Katherine Heigl can be boiled down to two words: burned bridges.
In 2008, she infamously slammed Knocked Up, the Judd Apatow comedy that launched her film
career.
She told Vanity Fair the film was "a little sexist," and "paints the women as shrews,
as humorless and uptight," adding, "I had a hard time with it, on some days.
I'm playing such a bitch…
It was hard for me to love the movie."
That same year, Heigl heavily shaded Grey's Anatomy and its showrunner, Shonda Rhimes,
when she withdrew from the race for Emmy nominations, and said, "I did not feel that I was given
the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the
integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention."
Oof.
After that, Heigl continued churning out stale, increasingly unsuccessful romantic comedies
until her name became synonymous with the worst of the genre.
Through it all, rumors about her on-set difficulty swirled, which may or may not have led to
some high-profile shakeups within her management and PR teams.
"I'm not a rude person, I'm not an unkind or mean person, I would never go out of my
way or consciously try to hurt anyone's feelings or make them feel bad or uncomfortable."
She still got a few more chances to prove her muster on the silver screen and television
circuit, but she's continued to bomb out on both mediums just as spectacularly.
Perhaps she should've kept any negative opinions she had about her projects to herself.
Jennifer Love Hewitt
After making a name for herself in the teen slasher series I Know What You Did Last Summer
and her small screen work in Party of Five, Jennifer Love Hewitt started enjoying regular
starring roles in pics like Can't Hardly Wait and Heartbreakers.
Unfortunately, her movie career started to slump with the Jackie Chan action-comedy flop
The Tuxedo and the Garfield movies.
She managed to rally on the small screen with successful runs in The Ghost Whisperer and
The Client List.
But after she was accused of being difficult on-set of the latter show — by reportedly
insisting that her real-life baby daddy be cast in the series — the whole show was
unceremoniously axed.
She went on to nab a role in Criminal Minds, but when she became pregnant with her second
child, Hewitt decided to leave the show after only one season.
Since exiting Criminal Minds in 2015, Hewitt has yet to log another screen credit, or even
have anything listed in production.
Granted, she also gave birth to her second child, so she's clearly putting her career
on some kind of hold to spend quality time with her kids.
Regardless, it doesn't seem like we'll be seeing her on the red carpet anytime soon.
Taylor Momsen
By the time Taylor Momsen was 17, she'd already been in the entertainment business for 15
years.
Her parents started her in the modeling industry at just two, an experience Momsen doesn't
fondly recall.
She later said, "My parents signed me up with Ford (modeling agency) at the age of two.
No two year old wants to be working, but I had no choice."
From there it was a breakout role as Cindy Lou Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas
and then a big break on Gossip Girl that informed her showbiz career.
But that would be where Momsen's acting career ended.
Her growing displeasure with Hollywood and a gradual drift towards a music career essentially
tucked Momsen's SAG card into a file folder.
As her good-girl-next-door look morphed into a goth-inspired, raccoon-eyed rock frontwoman,
Gossip Girl producers reduced her role on the show until she was eventually dropped
as a series regular in Season 5.
There was no love lost for Momsen, who basically dove eyeliner-first into a music career as
the lead singer of The Pretty Reckless.
Julia Stiles
After her breakthrough role in 10 Things I Hate About You, Julia Stiles had a real shot
at the big-time.
However, her subsequent silver screen decisions did her no favors.
After dismal returns for A Guy Thing and Mona Lisa Smile, Stiles pivoted to smaller films,
including the critically panned remake of The Omen and a little-known film called Edmond.
"I'm trying some stuff out.
I'd rather do that than get stuck doing something I don't love."
Fortunately for her, she's had a small, but regular role in the Jason Bourne franchise
to carry her through.
Kat Stratford might not have been so concerned with A-list status …
"Where did you come from, planet loser?"
"As opposed to planet look at me, look at me?"
But Stiles herself does have a desire to stay relevant.
She told The New York Times, "I think audiences, producers and directors included, develop
crushes on actors (actresses in particular) and then lose interest and move on to the
next one.
There are a handful of actors who sustain interest because it's exciting to watch them
get better at what they do.
I want to be one of those actors."
Unfortunately, Stiles doesn't seem to be getting too many opportunities to improve anymore.
Hopefully for Stiles and her fans, that'll turn around sooner rather than later...

What Really Happened the First Time We Split the Atom - Duration: 6:41.
This episode of SciShow is brought to you by Emerson.
Visit Emerson.com/WeLoveSTEM to learn more.
[♩INTRO]
Some of the most important scientific discoveries were famously made by accident
like penicillin, plastic, and vulcanized rubber.
But there's one that you don't hear about quite as often:
that time in 1938 when scientists accidentally split an atom
and changed the course of history.
At first, they did not realize what they had done.
That is, until an Austrian physicist named Lise Meitner
figured out that they had discovered what we now call nuclear fission.
But when a Nobel Prize was awarded for the discovery,
it was her research partner who got it.
Meitner was born in 1878 in Vienna, Austria.
Although Austrian women weren't taught much math or science at the time,
she was curious about the world from an early age
as a child, she kept a math book under her pillow.
She went on to earn a doctorate in physics from the University of Vienna
in 1906, which made her the second woman to receive a doctorate
in any science from the school.
There weren't many opportunities for female scientists in Vienna, though,
so in 1907 Meitner moved to Berlin,
where she became the first woman Max Planck allowed to attend his lectures.
Yeah, that Max Planck
the guy who basically invented quantum mechanics.
It was a good time to be a talented physicist in western Europe.
Within a year, she was working as Planck's assistant,
and by 1909 she partnered with Otto Hahn, a chemist,
to do research at the Berlin Institute for Chemistry.
They both wanted to study how different substances
produced different types of radiation.
There was a problem, though: the head of the institute didn't allow women
because he was afraid their hair would catch fire.
Not kidding.
That's the real reason.
Eventually, Meitner and Hahn got him to agree
to let them work together in an old carpenter's shop in the basement,
because it had a separate entrance…
presumably so that when her hair caught fire, it was really easy to go outside.
Research into radiation was still in its early days, so there was a lot to discover.
Among other things, they studied what happened to different atoms
when they released radiation, and discovered some new isotopes,
or versions of the same element with different weights.
Then, in the 1930s, physicists discovered that if you bombard atoms
with neutrons, you can make them undergo radioactive decay,
where they release particles and become slightly lighter elements.
Meitner, Hahn, and another scientist named Fritz Strassmann
started their own bombardment experiments to try and figure out
how those reactions worked.
And then … they were interrupted by the Nazis.
When Hitler annexed Austria in March 1938, Meitner,
who was of Jewish ancestry, realized that she had to get out of Germany.
She escaped to Stockholm, Sweden, where she continued to correspond
with Hahn about their ideas and experiments.
And in November 1938, Hahn secretly left Germany
to share some strange results with her:
When they bombarded uranium with neutrons,
one of the products of the reaction was what looked like a form of radium,
which is a little lighter than uranium.
They thought it was radium because of the way it reacted with other atoms
and molecules, but they couldn't figure out how bombarding uranium
with neutrons would produce radium.
The calculations just didn't work out.
So Meitner suggested Hahn and Strassmann study this so-called radium more.
When Hahn returned to Germany, they did,
and found that it wasn't radium at all.
It was barium, a much smaller element that's about half uranium's weight.
Hahn and Strassmann were then super confused.
They had no idea how neutrons could make uranium
turn into an element half its size.
In December, Hahn sent a letter to Meitner about their findings
asking for her help explaining them.
And in the meantime, he and Strassmann submitted a paper
to a German scientific journal describing these surprising results.
Meitner's nephew, Otto Frisch, was visiting her at the time,
and he also happened to be a nuclear physicist.
So the two of them worked on the problem together.
Meitner proposed that they imagine atomic nuclei as liquid droplets,
which was an idea some physicists were exploring at the time.
By thinking that way, Meitner realized
that when a neutron hits a uranium nucleus,
it could make the nucleus sort of stretch out,
and then pinch together in the middle and then split in two
like one drop of water splitting into two smaller droplets.
She and Frisch calculated that the larger uranium atom
would split into two lighter elements — barium and krypton
plus a bunch of neutrons and a whole lot of energy.
In other words: she figured out nuclear fission.
Since she was essentially in exile,
Meitner couldn't publish a paper with Hahn and Strassmann.
Instead, she and Frisch published their conclusions in the journal Nature
in February of 1939.
Fission was an idea with a ton of potential.
It was a relatively simple way to produce huge amounts of energy
which is the main thing we use it for today, in nuclear power plants.
But Meitner realized that it had destructive potential, too,
and she included a warning about that in the paper.
Other scientists were … alarmed.
Especially because they knew the Germans had this knowledge
through Hahn and Strassmann.
Three physicists in the U.S. then got Albert Einstein,
who was already very famous, to write to President Roosevelt
to explain the danger.
And that is how the Manhattan Project
that developed the atomic bomb was born.
Meitner was asked to help with the project, but she refused
she didn't want anything to do with using this new science
for destructive purposes.
After the war, the Nobel committee awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry
for discovering nuclear fission to Otto Hahn.
Just Otto Hahn.
Even though Meitner figured out how nuclear fission actually worked,
Hahn got all of the credit just because he ran the experiments
that led to the discovery.
And it's not like he acknowledged her contributions, either.
Meitner continued to do nuclear research in Stockholm
including on R1, Sweden's first nuclear reactor
until 1960, when she retired and moved to the U.K.
In 1966, she, Hahn, and Strassmann shared the U.S. Department of Energy's
prestigious Enrico Fermi Award for the discovery of nuclear fission.
But it still wasn't a Nobel.
Two years later, on October 27, 1968, Lise Meitner died at the age of 89.
Since her death, she's been memorialized in other significant ways
this is actually way more rare than getting a nobel:
Element 109, meitnerium, is named in her honor.
And so are an asteroid and craters on Venus and the Moon.
Which is fitting, given that her discoveries
shaped a lot of the world as we know it,
and her education and research helped pave the way
for other women in STEM fields.
But above all, she dedicated her life to the pursuit of truth
and the peaceful advancement of our knowledge as a species
whether she was recognized for it or not.
So maybe the inscription on her tombstone
is what best summarizes her legacy:
"Lise Meitner: a physicist who never lost her humanity."

DUNES AND ITAÚNAS - Duration: 6:02.
Hey guys, welcome to
Oh God
so hot
hey
I'm here in Itaunas, Itaúnas is city at north
Of Espirito Santo
and the cool about this city
I mean "city", cause she was taken by sand
pray
look (pray and look has similar sound in Portuguese)
So he city that was here, was totally taken by sand
so the city
moved to away from coast
Before, she was locates at coast
but the sand started overrun
so, all this dunes that you see
couple years ago, it was a city here
but the sand came
and... goobye
and it's a really cool tourist point here in Espirito Santo
It's weird cause, Espirito Santo is located between Bahia and Rio de Janeiro
but it's not very famous
I don't know why
There is a lot of nice places here
This beach in Itaúnas is one of the best ones here
and it's very nice
but
dude
this sand it's so hot, oh gosh
all this are smithereens from the old city
brick, roof tile
I was playing and I forgot my cellphone in the sand
So to get at the beach, we came by car over there
then we come up the dunes, crossing
and after we cross all dunes
we get in the beach in the other side
can you see it?
there is kiosks there
and everyday they have to clean it with sand
I mean, clean the sand that comes, cause comes a lot
it's crazy
Remember that I told in the beginning of the video
that the city moved away from the coast
away the sea
so, here is the new city of Itaúnas
But it's weird, and I don't know why, the streets aren't asphalted
and it's a law, I mean
a rule, they can't asphalt here and I don't know why
I wish know
It was what a I heard in the local region
So you can see it, none street here has asphalt
just sand, all the city
even the square that we are, where is the Church
isn't asphalted
it's grass
and sand
weird right?
This the city entrance
the only place with asphalt
or rocks
or whatever

TAEYEON 태연 -11:11 (cover) - Duration: 3:46.
It's 11:11
When there's not much time left in the day
When we used to make wishes and laugh
Everything reminds me of you
The wind is as cold as your heart
When I open the window, you blow in
When this time passes, will this break up be over?
Will I forget you?
Everything finds its place and leaves
You took all of me and left
But like the two hands of the clock in my heart
I keep lingering in the same place
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na, Oh
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
I believe I'll be over you
In the calendar
The date that we planned out long ago
If you forgot about it all
I guess I have to erase it, after a while it won't be a big deal
Everything finds its place and leaves
You took all of me and left
But like the two hands of the clock in my heart
I keep lingering in the same place
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na, Oh
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
I believe I'll be over you
Like a strange flower that blooms between seasons
Like the morning star that hangs between days
All of this, some day, will pass
Everything finds its place and returns
If I finally smile as if nothing happened
Calling out your name
Won't hurt as much as it does now
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na, Oh
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
I believe I'll be over you
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na, Oh
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
I believe I'll be over you
