15 Celebs Who Haven’t Realized They Aren’t Famous Anymore

4. Katherine Heigl

Katherine Heigl captured the attention of many as Isobel “Izzie” Stevens in the ever popular (and still running) Grey’s Anatomy, in 2005. Much like her character, however, Katherine proved to be a little needy, a little over the top, and very demanding. Once a top choice for any film or television series as a leading lady, she’s now sunk to the bottom of the barrel. We can’t say we don’t understand. Heigl chose to walk away from her Grey’s Anatomysuccess after she claimed writers didn’t create material for her that would warrant Award nominations. Sounds a little greedy if you ask us. Sure, she had fame on her mind, but she wouldn’t have any of the fame she’s had without Grey’s Anatomy. That’s not the only drama. When she began working on her series State of Affairs, it didn’t take long for people to realize just how difficult she was to work with, and it very quickly brought an end to her career. Apparently no one decided to let Katherine know that being difficult to work with is not exactly the reputation you want in Hollywood, if you want to stay famous.

3. Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow hasn’t been on the big screen very much lately, but that’s because she’s been working so much on her lifestyle website, Goop.com. The website, which features lifestyle guides for everything from travel, to food, to a shopping guide for s*x dust, has been Gwyneth’s passion project for quite some time. However, just because this former A-List celebrity can afford high end vitamins and designer grade opinions on how to live a proper life, doesn’t mean her once adoring fans can. As much as Gwyneth’s lifestyle website attempts to be relatable to the every day person, the actual content is just not realistic for an every day person. Perhaps she would have stayed relevant if she would have stayed focused on her acting career (which we will admit was amazing). She may work on a movie here or there, but it’s definitely not enough to sustain the fame she once knew so well.
