She managed a recovery, bounced back and enjoyed album success and a long-standing residency in Vegas. Go Brit!
8 Jon Gosselin - Struggles
Reality TV is particularly precarious in terms of long-term success, mostly because it’s often based on a gimmick, like having a ton of kids. When Jon & Kate (formerly of Jon and Kate Plus 8) ended their marriage, people stopped watching. In addition to one-off TV appearances Jon now works as a cook and server to help support his very large family. Nothing wrong with that!
7 Martha Stewart- Made A Comeback
When Martha Stewart served five months in prison for insider trading, it would have been a career ender for many, but not Martha. She set back to work to make her company turn a profit again. One of the most notable keys to her success is her recent partnership with Rapper Snoop Dogg and their show, Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party.

Vanilla Ice got so big, there was no where to go but down. In the time since rap fame, Ice has turned to home renovation. Today he works as a house flipper and even got a show out of it that is nine seasons deep and still running…okay, we tap, this isn’t a struggle, who’d have guessed it Vanilla Ice is almost a success. Although I don’t know anyone who has tuned in for his show, but someone must be watching.

You can see him make an occasional appearance, but usually you’ll find him working as a waiter at LA’s Sushi Roku.
3 Rob Lowe - Made A Comeback
Rob Lowe found himself at the centre of a major scandal at what many thought was the peak of his career. He was caught on tape engaged in ‘relations’ with two women in a hotel room, one of them was just 16. Luckily for him, 16 was the age of consent in Georgia. Lowe saw the scandal as a chance to clean up his act and headed to rehab. He was able to make a comeback, but this time on TV starring on the hit shows West Wing and Parks and Recreation. He even earned an Emmy nomination for his more recent work.
2 Corey Feldman - Struggles
The range that Corey Feldman showed as a plucky kid in Stand By Me, The Lost Boys, and just about everything he touched as a child actor made it seem like nothing could stop him, until he aged out of the roles. Today he still tries to remain in the spotlight picking up bit parts and cameos.
He wants to be a famous musician (it hasn’t happened yet) and has been known to sell tickets for mansion parties where people can people ‘party’ with him.
1 Christian Slater - Made A Comeback
Remember when Christian Slater bit someone and got arrested? Yeah, that was his bottom. The talented actor known for his Jack Nicholson-ish charm was also known for being erratic and hard-partying. Thankfully he’s managed to calm down and found his footing on the small screen.
Most recent successes include his role on Mr. Robot. I’m still hoping they reunite him with Winona on Stranger Things, fingers crossed for this in season four!
