Whatever happened to…

[Flawedperfection]

Inspired by another thread!

Whatever happened to certain celebs? So many were really quite popular/successful/infamous/famous at one point only to seemingly disappear off the
face off the earth. Where did they go?

Insert the missing celeb. I’ll go first with a few:-

• Sam Smith (sang Black and Gold- love that song)
• Samantha Mumba (Irish singer)
• Shola Ama (You Might Meet Somebody singer)

Go!

@OhGiveUp
Me too - happy I could help 🙂
I remember clearly ( I think -maybe 🤔) robert saying’ I’ve got a wee habit’
And also some good music, a great song by the Buzzcocks can’t remember what it’s called

Off to top up wine ….

@OhGiveUp
I need subtitles !! Not joking

Haven't heard from those kardashians for a while...😂

Green day were massive when I was at school, I don't think they've put anything out for ages but probably wrong.

Lloyd Grossman?

Do they still sell Lloyd Grossman sauces? They were nice!

@MorganKitten

To answer a few

Mark Lamarr Does podcasts
Jodie Marsh manages her boyfriend, sells awful diet and work out pills, owns a farm, does onlyfans
All Saints - Shaznay produces and writes for others now including
Little Mix
Gareth Gates works with a film production company and now does musical theatre
Darius Campbell-Danesh was married to Natasha Henstridge and moved to LA, does musical theatre
Jennifer Ellison Dance mums uk
Debbie Gibson still bringing out albums and a lot of American tv work
Alex Parks Hated being famous
Leona Lewis Huge in A,Erica and still bringing albums out, was on Broadway pre lockdown and doing tv work

But what about Jimmy Nail!!! Is he appearing in pantomime somewhere? On the shopping channel flogging crocodile shoes? I need to know!!

@Crunched

Darius Danesh seems to go more by the (real?) name Darius Campbell. He has been in several West End musicals. I saw him with Sheridon Smith in Funny Girl. I think it was 2018 and he was brilliant. Hopefully he'll be back onstage soon,

I've seen Darius in quite a few shows too. I had a massive crush on him and met him several times at the stage door. He seemed like a really decent bloke. I don't know what he's up to now. I think Danesh was his father's surname and Campbell was his mother's.

Yes, Darius' dad is a hospital consultant and he now uses his mum's last name after they divorced.

@Hathertonhariden

Damon (Simon O'Brian) is on TV in a show about upcycling people's old stuff and selling it to dealers

I read this at first as

Damon (Simon O'Brian) is on TV in a show about upcycling people's old stuff and selling it to drug dealers

And made myself laugh

Do you ever visit a grocery shop or supermarket, or shop for groceries online?

Whatever ha'happened to Eliza Dushku??

Timmy mallet... Emma froid(? Not sure you spell it like that) .. Maggie Smith.. Marilyn (boy George friend)

Eliza Dushku got screwed over by the sexual assault culture in the TV and film industry, as recently as 2019 she was fired from a planned role for making a complaint about a crew member's misconduct/inappropriate behaviour. I think she went to university and is now a political activist.

A couple for the oldies, BA Robertson and Joe Jackson. And weirdly enough, Elvis Costello.

@ZaraCarmichaelshighheels I saw Jimmy Nail a few years ago, I own a business in the NE and I served him. He was very flirtatious and I said to my colleagues afterwards "wow, he looked just like Jimmy Nail" and they confirmed that's cos he is

I think with female Hollywood actors, if you’ve not heard of them for years or they had a fallow period in the mid teens, it’s safe to assume they were black listed for spurning Harvey Weinstein’s sexual advances and struggled to find work as a result. Sad but true!

@Staryflight445 The Killers have just released a new album. They had a tour cancelled last year, I think it’s next year instead now.

I’ve seen them at a stadium gig & a few festivals, always enjoyable.

Someone said Rihanna… I think she teases new music every now and again but she’s got her lingerie/clothing/make up brands which are massively popular.

@Tigresswoods

Gryff Rhys Jones. Is he dead?

No it was Mel Smith his Comedy Partner who died

I would love too know what has happened too

Toby Antis and
Andy Peters

Jayne middlemiss but then she popped up last week on a spice girls documentary !

Alex Zane

@DoubleShotEspresso

Tony Slattery Rob Newman Dina Carroll Selina Scott Caryn Franklin Amanda de Cadanet Dani Behr Josie Lawrence

These are a few I remember being very prominent years ago but rarely hear of them now....

Amanda de Cadenet lives in LA and has been married to Nick Valensi of The Strokes for years, they’ve got twins who must be teenagers now. She’s a photographer and journalist.

Ireland. No such place as Southern Ireland. It’s just Ireland.[/quote]
You’re being unnecessarily pedantic and therefore not proper Irish.

Of course there’s southern Ireland, just like southern England. I live in West Cork, so definitely in Southern Ireland.

Andy Peters

Andi Peters always pops up on daytime TV when it's thise competitions to win a holiday.

I have a feeling I heard he had gone a bit more behind the scenes but still in media.

Thank you for the answer for Eliza Dusku. I fell sad that that is the case. I want to watch Bring It On now!

Andy peters always turns up to judge MasterChef. He's quite a bitch, about food. I think he's also the voice of Coco pops but unsure if chocolate cereal is allowed to be advertised anymore???
