Stars Who Are Done But Don't Accept It

I despise her, but it looks like JLo's about to get an acting career renaissance with "Kiss of the Spider Women," for which she's generating positive buzz.

Will Smith

Ellen Degeneres

Mel Gibson

Janet Jackson

LOL...yeah, Ellen.

She cracked me up with that "Farewell Tour" of hers...booking huge arenas for TWO nights then when she struggled to fill one, having to cancel those 2nd nights.

Not a star, but won't accept his soon to be "has-been" status: Pete Hegseth.

And now with "My Dinner with Adolf," at last, Bill Maher.

Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Lawrence

Ellen Degeneres

Bonnie Franklin

Linda Lavin

JLo is not going to get a career renaissance with "Kiss" - people are fucking SICK of her ass.

I'll submit Kanye West for entry.

Britney Spears can join him.

Corey Feldman!

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.

Tom Cruise is over but keeps pumping out shitty action movies.

Billy Ray Cyrus (wish he'd take his daughter Miley with him).

Katy Perry has been done for almost a decade. She seems retarded

R8 I dunno.

Ugh, i really hope not. She and her desperation need to fade to black.

R10. JLo also had positive buzz with Hustlers when, in reality, she was merely ok but better than her usual dull performances. I don't think she's going away but I don't think she's going to increase her star power either.

Gale Gordon. And don’t tell me his upcoming turn as supervillain Helmut Finsterblatt in Mission Impossible 8 is going to turn things around. You know it’ll just end up as fussy Mr. Mooney in an eye patch with a preposterous German accent.

Eh, Jennifer Aniston isn't done. She has a show and she's RACHEL. There's 20million Gen X women in the world who will worship her until the day they all die.

Britney is done and doesn't care. She's happy to juggle knives and flash her titties.

After the flop of her book sales, I'm gonna toss in Barbra Streisand's name.

Madonna

How could JLo fuck up Spider Woman? If she moves well & hits the notes - that’s all that’s needed. The PR machine behind it will be insufferable.

Maurice Benard , General Hospital

James Corden

Chrissy Teigen

Shelley 'Hack Job' Hack

Kate Jackson

R20 - Cheryl Ladd

Nicole Kidman

R21 - The ghosts of Farrah Fawcett and Tanya Roberts

R22 i like her. I just wish she’d take a year or two off.

The Brady "kids" who are now senior citizens and make the rounds on the talk shows and podcasts telling all the same stories and anecdotes over and over again. Enough already.

William Shatner has raised being done and never accepting it to a fine art. David Duchovny may be there, too.

Jennifer Aniston will always get work if she wants it, and she'll always be popular. She's the Gen X Mary Tyler Moore.

Brendad Ickson

Zendaya

Meghan MyFather McCain

Ellen because everyone knows she's a cunt now and her whole brand was nice. It's hard to see where she goes from here.

Sam Smith

Mickey Rourke

Meghan and Harry

Goop

Anyone who was ever in the Grateful Dead and each and every Deadhead.

^^What about John Mayer (Dead & Company), r33?

[quote]The Brady "kids" who are now senior citizens and make the rounds on the talk shows and podcasts telling all the same stories and anecdotes over and over again. Enough already. —Eve Plumb holding out for more money

Eve's still out here thinking she's "too big" for Comic Con!

Eva Marie Saint.

Aniston is on a show on Apple TV, which if it has 5,000 subscribers I will be very shocked.

Of course, there will still be love for Friends, but the days of her being in movies are pretty much a wrap,

Now that "Horizon"s flopped bigly, maybe Kevin Costner will finally accept that he's not the box office draw he was 35 years ago, and thus can't keep shoving "epic westerns" (especially one with two "chapters"!) down our throats.

Gwen Stefani

Timothee Chalamet

Michelle Obama

Julia Roberts. She hasn't accepted it for the last ten years.

Usher

Good one, r42. She should have been farther up the list.

Justin Bieber

Ryan Reynolds

Sarah Palin

I mean you know who is doing a showmance with Martin Short. You can't get more over than that.

Clooney needs to retire. He has enough money between movies and child slave labor picking his Nespresso coffee beans. Most of his movies flop, he looks ill, his good looks have faded and he looks older than his age. He's not leading man material any longer and he's not strong enough an actor to be a character actor. Also, his camera thirsty beard is annoying.

Melania

JLo is a serviceable actress with the right roles but her career is/was almost entirely based on sex appeal and we all know that don’t last. All things considered, she still looks amazing, but at this point she’s hanging on by novelty status as an aging woman who’s still seen as fuckable.

Madonna

Madonna.

There are no more hit records. There will never be that movie role that finally makes her a legitimate actress.

She’s a jukebox act now.

Honestly, with all the deserved JLo hate, when was the last time anyone paid to see a Ben Affleck movie in a theater?

His stardom has long been smoke and mirrors and there are no more blooms left on that rose.

Jon Hamm. And yes, i know he's in a new limited series. But he'll never be the movie star people thought he would be.

Streisand is pretty much retired. Her fan base has shrunk and even though she theoretically has a CD out this year, it won't sell like her previous recordings.

Sarah Jessica Parker

[quote] Streisand is pretty much retired. Her fan base has shrunk and even though she theoretically has a CD out this year, it won't sell like her previous recordings.

Barbra has entered the talk-singing phase of her career, much like Sinatra and so many others before her.

If she had played it smart like Cher and threw out a catchy, highly-produced dance song every so often she would have had much more longevity and relevance. Alas, she always defaults to beige.

She’s just old lady music now.

r54 unlike JLo, his career isn't dependent on how great his ass looks. He is smart, and he does have talent behind the camera, as well as some acting chops, when he gets the right role. Am I sure he'll produce some good work in the next year or two? Absolutely not. But I'm sure he has more capability to do so then JLow, who ABSOLUTELY knew what a depraved individual Diddy was back then.

R33 I’m a deadhead. I only refuse to accept that I’m over because I never accepted that I was “on” in the first place. That’s part of the Dropping Out essence of Dead Culture.

R59 Are you a gay?

I'm just curious...I don't think I've ever ran across a gay Deadhead.

Kate Hudson. What a fucking nepo loser. I know she has some stupid Netflix show but who doesn’t.

Did she ever even have a single fan? With menopause imminent, she can longer continue having babies with every man she meets so there goes that guaranteed publicity.

The singing career was also a desperate joke. She is absolutely detestable and can’t disappear soon enough.

I hate to put Jessica Lange in this category, but recent evidence suggests she can barely get a film made and even when it’s finished, it can’t get released or it gets thrown to cable.

She and Ed Harris tried to sell their film “Long Day’s Journey Into Night,” but no distributor would touch it.

She also has a movie in development on Joan Didion’s “The Year of Magical Thinking,” but this also seems like a dud film that no one will want to book in theatres.

Sure she could come back with a Ryan Murphy show, or maybe do another play, but at her age she may have to hang up her delusions of being a movie actress.

Blake Lively. She may be making headlines for all the wrong reasons but her film career is kaput. Who in their right mind would work with that bitch when she has openly said she lies to producers and directors and says she just wants to act then manipulates her way into a controlling position on sets?

Plus, when you start to resemble a female impersonator playing you, you’re toast. The bitch looks like a man.

Ariana DeBose. She's done - her fifteen minutes expired a few years ago. Stop having her host award shows. Stop casting her in streaming shows. Stop inviting her to 'The View'. Just let her fade off into the sunset.

R62 = Meryl

Michael Douglas

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Antonio Banderas

Meg Ryan

Annette Benning

Rachel Zegler.

Will Smith. His latest album couldn’t even crack the top 200.

There are only so many “Bad Boys” sequels you can make.

Hugh Grant

Jamie Fox

Bill Murray

John Goodman

Cameron Diaz should have stayed retired. She was in Netflix movie which flopped and is slated to appear in Shrek 5 and a movie directed by DL Fave Jonah Hill.

[quote] JLo is in a similar place...her music career is over but at least she might still eke out an acting career.

JLo could have a Cher-esque comeback as a recording artist.

[quote] JLo could have a Cher-esque comeback as a recording artist.

She had zero musical talent to start. No one is nostalgic for JLo.

With a few exceptions, most actors over 40 or 50 are not going to be as successful as they were when they were younger.

Even Meryl has had difficulty recently getting projects underway that go out to market, although she can get multimillion salaries for certain projects. Denzel Al’s still strong. Tom Hanks fading.

The whole movie business is collapsing due to dwindling movie audiences. Cable and streaming help but entertainment is geared towards young people who want young stars.

Denzel is still strong

[quote] She had zero musical talent to start. No one is nostalgic for JLo.

No talent required. Just take her upcoming recording of "The Day After That", give it a hot remix, add sugar and stir. It will be an anthem for the newly-besieged queer community.

I can't stand to watch Denzel anymore. He's a lazy little bitch and struts around like his shit don't stink.

[quote]Even Meryl has had difficulty recently getting projects underway that go out to market, although she can get multimillion salaries for certain projects.

Meryl was never a huge box office draw. Aside from Prada, I can't think of a single film where her name was the reason people went to see it.

A lot of her hype in the late 2000's was just that. People got tired of her being forced down their throats and not giving others in her peer group a fair chance.

And you can bitch me out all you want, but Glenn, Frances and even Julia aren't doing second rate supporting work on a Steve Martin streaming show.

I gave up on Denzel when he was out-acted by Jared Leto in The Little Things, r76. Very lazy performance from a formerly great actor.

Norma Desmond.

Streep has had several box office hits, not just one. She also was a big draw in her 50's, so the 2000s were full of additional hits for her. You may not like her, but she has been very successful including at the box office.

That said, I doubt she could have a box office hit again in her 70s, unless it was a sequel to a previously successful film. She'll probably do small parts from here on out unless it's a fluke that can get financing.

[quote] No talent required.

This could be the title of JLo’s autobiography.

Katy must be livid. Her three big peers are still crazy relevant:

- Taylor is now the biggest pop in the world. By miles. And miles.

- Gaga just had one of the most successful Coachella's ever. Her new album is a big hit with critics and has sold nearly five million copies in about a month. Her song Die With A Smile is also one of the biggest hits in years and is poised to be the most streamed song of all time.

- Rihanna is a billionaire, hasn't released an album in a decade and still out streams Katy by miles. If Rihanna ever makes music again? We all know it would be huge.

Then there's Katy. No sales. No streams. No buzz. Nothing.

Poor thing.

[quote]Streep has had several box office hits, not just one

I said one on her name only. Though I will give her It's complicated, which makes two.

Mamma Mia and Into the Woods had built in audiences. Goldie shared billing with her in Death Becomes Her, Bridges of Madison County was already a hit book and she was sharing lead with Clint Eastwood.

Mikey Madison

But I don’t see how you can minimize her contribution to the success of the films. Her name was a selling point and she has had a big audience. Oh well.

[quote]Kate Hudson. What a fucking nepo loser. I know she has some stupid Netflix show but who doesn’t.

I didn’t know she was still working. She’s one of the founders of Fabeletics, so It’s not like she needs the money.

Tori Spelling owns this thread.

Liza Minnelli since 1981.

Liza Minnelli was great in Arrested Development.

Jennifer Lopez buzz is her own PR team.

“Kiss of the Spider Woman” will bomb. It’s not 2002, there’s no audience going to the theaters for this.

R82 Katy was always a flop.

The past has been rewritten but while she was a huge singles artist, she could never sell albums or tickets. For someone who had 6 #1 singles on one album, “Teenage Dream” only sold like 1.5-2 million during its first run.

She was very payola driven.

I think it’s like 7x Platinum now but that was based on streaming adjustments.

Katy was a seat warmer.

There are artists who are successful in the off seasons of other artists.

Once Katy took her own off season, she was done.

Not to mention, she isn't well-liked in Hollywood.

If she couldn't muster a nomination for Selena, her best performance, then I doubt she'll get it for Kiss of the Spider Woman.

R93 Yeah this is going to be ANOTHER flop Latino musical. “West Side Story”, “In The Heights”, “Emilia Perez” and now this.

Why doesn’t Hollywood realize Latino musicals don’t work?

R68 He’s not done as an actor but he’s been done as a rapper since the 90s.

I remember when I was a kid and someone well meaning in my family bought me “Willennium” for Christmas and I was like WTF is this?

Leo maybe? His new film with PTA is really expensive and 3 hours long. He’s 50 and a schlub.

Someone hit the nail on the head earlier with Tom Hanks. He used to fancy himself the mayor of Hollywood and he’s now box-office poison.

His face looks like he’s melting and the Mr. Nice Guy act just doesn’t fly in these complicated times. His past films mostly seem dated now and his limitations as a performer have become more obvious.

He mostly refused to play anything but a good guy and the result is a limited portfolio and not much to offer as an actor. I don’t even think Marvel wants him in a film.

Apple TV films no one talks about or remembers aren’t anything to brag about.

Does anyone actually miss seeing Tom Hanks onscreen?

Lil Nas X

Lizzo

James Corden

Ben Affleck

Rob Lowe

Robert DeNiro

Leo DeCaprio

Johnny Depp

Barack Obama

R91 agreed. Katy was never in Taylor, Gaga, or Rihanna's league. She was in the conversation, however. Her insane fall from *near* the top is still remarkable in comparison.

If she were a kinder person? I would feel bad for her. But she isn't, so I don't.

Jennifer Lawrence.

Paul Mescal

R97 - he was really good in the Mr. Rogers and Elvis movies and those were relatively recent.

Demi Moore would have been on this list except for The Substance. I still don't see her doing a ton more work.

[quote]Katy was never in Taylor, Gaga, or Rihanna's league.

Katy has outsold Gaga in the US, but not worldwide.

Aaron Rodgers

I liked Katy Perry's SKIP THE DISHES commercial.

It looks like the Obamas are finally over. Their stump speeches for Kamala didn't do shit, nobody is watching Michelle's podcast, and they're keeping the divorce rumors afloat to stay relevant.

JLo may have peaked but her straight to video movies got insane numbers on Netflix as recently as last year. Many of these people are in their sixties or close to it. But with movies circling the drain it’s amazing anyone still has any kind of career..

R107 You MAGAts just can't get over the Obamas, can you?

How pathetic you all are.

Meghan Trainor, who's now doing dryer sheet commercials.

Madonna owns this thread.

Denise Richards

Gwyneth Paltrow, from the pink “Princess” dial telephone era.

Chalamet when Marty Supreme flops.

Hanks was super in Captain Phillips but I guess that was quite a few yrs ago now.

ZACHARY LEVI OWNS THIS THREAD!

[quote] Katy has outsold Gaga in the US, but not worldwide.

Katy Perry sells commercial jingles. She’s not a musician. To put her in Gaga's category is an insult and a misnomer.

She has the voice of a foghorn and no musical talent.

Hugh Jackman - only 50-something hausfraus are attending his Radio City Music Hall concerts.

Matt and Ben. Ben is crazy and Matt is FAT!

Spielberg and Scorsese.

Neither of them has had a relevant movie in decades.

I was shocked when Katy Perry got that American Idol job. Imagine having your dreams crushed by that minimally-talented singer.

R121 American Idol and The Voice are where middling pop stars' careers go to die.

Shirley MacLaine

Joey Lawrence

R104, can you provide evidence that Katy has more album sales than Gaga in the US?

Considering Gaga has a couple more albums and the second best female selling album of the 2000s (after Adele), I find that claim very hard to believe.

Sales wise, Katy has one successful album (One of the Boys), two massive albums, (Teenage Dream, Prism), one decent album (Witness) and two bombs (Smile, 143).

Sales wise, Gaga has one crazy, huge massive album (or two massive albums for The Fame/Monster), two massive albums (Born This Way, ASIB), two decent albums (Artpop, Chromatica) one bomb (Joanne) and her new album which is selling great. Plus two jazz albums - one of which sold quite well. She also has a couple of remix albums that sold decently, considering.

Further, Chartmasters has Gaga at 96 million albums sales. Katy at 75 million. Granted, that's worldwide, but I just find it hard to believe that huge gap doesn't translate to the US as well.

Girlsh you both are pretty! r125 and r104!

If every female artist updated their eligible certifications in the US, Katy would be #6 and Gaga #9.

Gaga has has outsold Madonna in the US. Madonna has dropped all the way down to #13(and yes, that includes all her sales that have yet to be formally certified). Madonna is not as popular in the US as she in the rest of the world.

^ Seems like those sales figures are based on downloads. Which penalizes singers who peaked before digital downloads became popular

Madonna remains the best-selling female artist of all time.

EVERYONE SHUT UP ABOUT MADONNA! You are making my head explode!

Looks like Baby Jane Hudson

Mariah is the biggest female selling artist of the Soundscan era (post 1991)

She’s so tired r132

r132 needs a slap as well

OP here and a lot of you are just posting names of artists you don't care for.

There are different levels of stars. If you reach those top levels, you don't really drop unless you hugely fuck up or "retire" and no one cares anymore. No, Meryl isn't getting a ton of starring movie roles anymore but...she's still fucking Meryl Streep. She ain't "done". Same for Tom Hanks and Denzel. Now, that's not saying that some of them don't have highly inflated opinions of themselves and their talent and their star power but...even ego maniacs like Hanks and Denzel are still held in higher regard than poor sad ole dumb Katy Perry. Unless they really fuck up, Meryl and Tom and Denzel are going to get pursued for juicy character roles and cameos with star billing, until they're dead.

Katy Perry and Paula Abdul are very similar in their career paths. Lots of hits and attention and stardom but...not a ton of respect. They peaked at a certain level and while they'll always have their fans, they're not the same kinds of fans as the ones the Icons have.

R127 that is a ridiculous metric!

It's not even close to accurate. That's about "certifications" (whatever the hell that means) not album sales/SEA.

I have no love for Madonna, but any chart that has her that low is a joke.

Nicki Minaj has outsold Madonna by 200 million???? Sure Jan.

Nicki Minaj

[quote] No, Meryl isn't getting a ton of starring movie roles anymore but...she's still fucking Meryl Streep. She ain't "done". Same for Tom Hanks and Denzel.

Meryl and Denzel still make hit films.

Tom Hanks is beyond over.

An ugly, untalented has been.

[quote]OP here and a lot of you are just posting names of artists you don't care for.

You could say the same with you posting JLo. You don't even have to like her, but Kiss is going to be one of the most talked about movies this fall. That's just a given at this point, and if you don't think the media is going to work overtime promoting her, think again.

And yet "Eke out a movie career"? C'mon.

[quote]Meryl and Denzel still make hit films.

Meryl hasn't had a hit movie (or an academy award nominated performance) in years. The Prada sequel could change things, but right now, she's at her longest stretch without an oscar nomination since she started her career.

McDormand has more oscars than her, and is tied with Kate Hepburn.

I don't know who the poster(s?) are that think "Kiss" is going to be some phenomenal movie - it's not.

JLo's flack here?

“Kiss of the Spider Woman” is the musical sensation of the year. Oscar will crown it with gold come February. JLo has never looked younger, more breathtaking or exhibited more talent. She’s a cinematic revelation.

[quote]is going to be some phenomenal movie

I didn't say it was phenomenal. I said it was going to be one of the most talked about movies. There's a huge difference, and if you don't know that, you shouldn't be posting on this thread.

One thing JLo knows how to do is create buzz. And the media will run with it.

Watch.

Thank you, Tom Kirdahy.

JLo will win the Oscar for “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” ushering in a new era of cinema.

No one has ever given a greater performance and no one ever will.

LOL...sadly, JLo was unable to work her "magic" on her Vegas residency, tour, and last album.

Ben will weep with regret and jealousy once he sees JLo in “Kiss of the Spider Woman.” Her beauty and talent will destroy him. He will beg her to take him back.

If the movie flops, I'm sure Steve can get her a gig on Only Murders.

That's where the once famous go, I hear.

But Martin's taken LOL

Jennifer Lopez should stick strictly to acting. She’s quite a good actor. Trying to remain multihyphenate star is her downfall.

Chita who? That’s what the world will be saying once JLo illuminates the silver screen in the future Oscar winner “Kiss of the Spider Woman.”

The silver screen has never been hotter.

Prepare to be caught in her web of desire.

This thread is funny. Apparently everyone working is washed up.

JLo ignites cinema with her scorching hot performance in “Kiss of the Spider Woman.”

She will set moviegoers ablaze with a portrayal that combines carnality with vocal power and pulsates moviegoers with an unforeseen heat.

This one’s a winner folks. Mark my words.

Jim Carrey

I don’t think it’s unlikely Streep could win again. All she needs is the right role. Will she ever have 5 best actress Oscars? Doubtful. But don’t count her out.

She needed time to separate from her husband and meet five grandchildren that are now on the payroll.

In what alternate reality is JLo quite a good actor?

It’s never too early to set a Fandango alert to purchase “Kiss of the Spider Woman” tickets.

Don’t get left behind for the event Rex Reed -Lopez calls “ a winner.”

I love that this thread has turned into an anti-JLo/anti-Streep thread.

Carry on, bitches! Never change!

People say I like everything. But I LOVE “Kiss of the Spider Woman.” Jennifer Lopez redefines the femme fatale for a new generation with her youth, beauty and powerhouse vocals.

The Oscar race for 2026 is over. Just hand JLo the trophy now.

What was Ben thinking?

[quote] Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey is retired from acting and comedy, so he cannot fit the rubric.

Janet Jackson, for a long time now

Glenn and Mariah are good examples. Glenn appears in trashy TV films and can Mariachi still sing?

What’s a streaming show?

I’m busy winning Oscars.

Be sure to tune into “Extra” for our exclusive coverage of the cinematic event of the year, “Kiss of the Spider Woman.” You won’t want to miss any moment of our breathless coverage of the film moviegoers can’t stop talking about.

Prepare to feel the heat as JLo ignites your wildest fantasies and deepest desires.

Frances has lucked out with her wins due to nepotism.

At least I haven’t fucked all my leading men,

Thank you for not mentioning me. I have been doing sit-ups and scene work with volunteers (some terrific kids who also do chores) to stay active and available.

Yours, Faye

[quote]Spielberg and Scorsese. Neither of them has had a relevant movie in decades.

r120 = Rip van Winkle

I guess that depends on what definition of relevant you're using, r169. They've made financially successful movies in the last 20 years but their enormous hits are in the distant past (Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Indiana Jones, Goodfellas, Casino, Taxi Driver). Are people going to be talking about The Irishman and The Post in another 20 years? It's possible but I doubt it. I think it's fair to say that those two men are long past their creative prime.

I think The Irishman will be talked about for no reason other than being the first movie with Scorsese and Pacino. It's also a great companion to Goodfellas and Casino. It's not as good as those two movies, but it sits nicely beside them.

Spielberg hasn't had a great film since Lincoln.

Justine Bateman

This list would not be complete without the name 'Joan Collins'.

We’re taking you behind the scenes of the year’s most talked about movie event, “Kiss of the Spider Woman” as JLo reclaims her crown as Hollywood’s hottest leading lady as our full coverage begins.

Who’s the mystery man seen with JLo carrying her shopping bags? Could wedding bells be ringing again? Will the fifth time be the charm?

Also, get a peek inside JLo’s “Kiss of the Spider Woman” workout with one of Hollywood’s hottest personal trainers.

Then, get the inside scoop on JLo’s wild girls weekend with BFF Leah Remini as the pair steam up the tropics. Cabo will never be the same.

We’re the home for all your “Kiss of the Spider Woman” coverage. Can you stand the heat?

[quote]This list would not be complete without the name 'Joan Collins'.

Joan will be 92 years old next month and has been around forever. I think she has enough self-awareness to realize that her salad days are long behind her.

R175 I don't. She takes advantage of every single opportunity to be in the public eye and stay relevant. It's been reported she just signed on to star in a movie. Still working, still making the interview rounds, still tipping off the paparazzi to take her picture when she's leaving Spago in Beverly Hills.

"Star" is immoderate, but ahem.

The first footage of “Kiss of the Spider Woman” has been released and JLo, indeed, looks and sounds sensational.

Jennifer Aniston isnt done. Stars can ease up. So all those Golden age of Hollywood stars were done? RIDICULOUS. If u reach the A++ heights youre never Done.

R 179 = You forgot to say, "They ARE still big -it's the pictures that got small."

After the $8 ticket debacle last year, JLo is now devoting her new tour to shady parts of Europe and the Middle East.

I can’t imagine the types of Interpol’s Most Wanted who will show up for these events. You can almost smell the mix of sweat, Aramis and cumin.

If “Kiss of the Spider Woman” flops, she will likely become the bride of some oil sheik, so the dick hunt begins.

Joan's doing fine...she's about to start filming a Mike Newell film where she'll play the Duchess of Windsor in her final years.

Juicy role...the kind that can lead to awards buzz.

I kinda wanna change this to "Stars who really NEED to be done" so we can put Jojo Siwa on the top of that list.

Of course she ain't much of a star...

Maybe he falls in the does no category. But my old boyfriend James Franco is done and will never be back. Too many people know things.

Janet Jackson.

Ashton Kutcher.

The fact this guy even had a film carreer during the 2000s goes beyond me.

R186 I haven't heard that name in years. I assumed he actually did realize he was done and went away.

Jessica Simpson

"Ashton Kutcher."

Two and a Half Men was careening towards cancellation when Charlie Sheen left the show.

It crashed and burned when Kutcher took over.

Then how did it run 4 more seasons, professor?

Kutcher did do the show The Ranch with Sam Elliott, after Two and a Half Men. It ran about 4 seasons I think. He also had an illness where he couldn't see, hear or walk, for a while. (Vasculitis.)

Joan is a wonder R175 and works her ass off. I should have as much energy at my age as she does at hers.

Paul McCartney: I really like a lot of his work, but IMO the last good album he did was Flaming Pie. Since Give My Regards to Broad Street, he has affected a MOR singing style something Barbra's. He's a billionaire, so he probably doesn't need the money.

Ringo likes to perform. So every once in a while he does another tour.

Did anyone mention Tori Spelling yet?

Kate Hudson., who I always found incredibly boring.

R141 Meryls Streep is 75 years old. Around the age when Kate Hepburn won her last Oscar. There aren't a lot of great roles for 75 year old women, and anyway, maybe she's slowing down a bit. I'm not a big fan, but after all you can't expect people to be lining up around the block for actresses in their mid-70s, or for those actresses to compete in popularlity with younger women.

I know stars who are definitely done but I don't know if they accept it. What do you mean, they should retire? If they get decent work, then they aren't actually done. It's kind of confusing.

Norma Desmond

Baby Jane Hudson

JoJo Siwa needs to be done.

Not sure why she even exists as a "star".

R199 Can we even really consider her a "star?"

I think Meryl would be a big star again if she started working. But maybe she’s waiting for something good.

It feels like there is no top actress now after Cate Blanchett recent debacles and talking about retirement.

Jojo Siwa is a blight on society.

who is jojo siwa?

Sisi Joman

[quote] In what alternate reality is JLo quite a good actor?

This reality.

She has always been a solid, reliable, everywoman presence in what was in the prior to the 2010s standard studio B-movie fare - lady cops, wrong-side-of-the-tracks romantic heroines, woman-in-peril roles. Not everyone can do that. Coppola, Stone, Rafelson and Soderbergh cast her for a reason.

Jennifer Lopez would still be regarded as a respectable actress if she hadn’t pursued that trashy pop career and hadn’t adopted “JLo” as her public persona.

R206 I have to agree. But, she wanted it all...to be a megastar multi-hyphenate who can do it all.

She never figured out she isn't really a good singer. And, pop stars have a short shelf life especially when they're not that great or don't have that many beloved hits.
