Slideshows

If you're rich and famous and have nothing better to do, why not start your own line of power tools or eyelash-enhancing mascara? But sometimes these celebrity side projects go horribly, horribly wrong.

I'm not a fan of hers, but Forbes mag says she was the most successful, of all the celebs last year, shipping 300 million (wholesale)of product.

"We think it was actually the health code violations that sank the joint (NYLA), which supposedly served Southern cooking favorites from Britney's hometown of Retardedhicksville, USA."

I loved their Fried Peanut Butter and Bandana Sandwiches, plus bottomless baby bottles full of Mountain Dew.

In re: Natalie Portman. Yes, she is (reasonably) attractive, though looking at her naked body covered in more bruises than a beginning skier was unsettling in that Wes Anderson short. However, she strikes me as one of the most pretentious and smugly self-contented people around.

I was just skimming and couldn't believe the GF Grill was on this list, until I stopped to read the commentary.

The GF Grill simply rocks!

Who the f#ck says Portman is holier than though? Because she doesn't like killing animals? Go f#ck yourself you hypocrite holier-than-though Citypages writer!

@ Vitajex: again, go f#ck yourself and your misguided anger towards people who don't kill animals. You know nothing about Portman other than she's vegan, which in your small mind makes her 'smug'? Get a life pu$$y.

The George Foreman grill has very little to do with him other than promotion. Salton just decided to get him to be the figurehead so that they would sell better. It worked, and Foreman now has things to do. Good for him!

Like you would have a chance with Natalie Portman. Vegans FTW!

Not very well written, nor well researched. Your criteria for failure seems to be that you don't like them and they are generally easy targets. Next time try to find some obscure and interesting entries. Just a thought.

@ #10 : you know, maybe an entire WEEK of researching celeb side projects is in order then. i mean, because they clearly didn't stimulate and titillate YOU. seriously, how can you NOT be irritated by jessica simpson's line of ANYTHING? and lilo fake tanner? come on.
