Ah, the early 2000s. Long before, social media changed the world forever, and when boy bands had the charts conquered from dusk until dawn. Smartphone pics had yet to overcome traditional photography, so a picture of one Jessica Leary screaming about her favorite five is lucky to have made it into “Teen People Magazine.”
Girls went wild for N*SYNC, and Jessica was one of the fans made famous for her excitement. She’s front and center of this big photo spread, back when the only things she had to worry about were homework and teen crushes.
Bragging to the Wife
Twitter user Josh Lebherz did a little bit of work for World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc and scored himself a front-row seat to some high-flying fun as part of the thanks. He was seated right behind the announcers, and in the picture, he seems to be giving the camera a bit of stink eye.
He was trying to say hello to his wife, who turned on the television, and sent him a text: “knock it off, you look like you belong there!” Josh might not have been about to jump in the ring, but his intense expression right between the commentators is good for a chuckle or two.
A Fan of the Franks
A picture of Twitter user Dena had her wearing wiener leggings for Delishop, the world's largest collection of meat-inspired apparel. Somehow, this picture appeared all over Philadelphia, online, and even in magazines. Even Teigen admitted to recognizing the picture.
Dena's energy is apparent in her love for tasty meat snacks, so it's clear that the apparel brand would want her to represent them. She's even rocking a shirt with a pithy, meaty phrase. The entire city of brotherly love got to know her at one point. It might have been one minute of fame, but it was a pretty powerful minute.
Yeah, Dad, I Know
It wasn't Meagan Pitcher who has the fame in this entry. Instead, it's her father, who got to be an extra on the set of “Ford v Ferrari,” starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale, two of Hollywood's biggest actors.
According to Meagan, ol' pops got to talk with Damon and has gone on to let his daughter know “approximately 525,600 times,” which is sort of impressive given that the film came out in 2019. Talkative guy, Meagan's dad. Of course, thanks to post-production time and marketing time, it's likely that the movie was filmed in 2018 or even 2017.
Nothing to Dread From This Claim to Fame
Starring the late Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, “10 Things I Hate About You” is one of the better romcoms to exist in the late nineties. During one scene, a few of the main characters run into a cloud of white Rastafaris, who are enjoying the great outdoors, playing guitar, and calling each other “Mon.”
The scene is short but memorable, and Jason Kester admits he was one of the Rastas, as pointed out by the picture. Thankfully, by now, Kester has gotten rid of his dreads, but he still gets to enjoy his one minute of fame in front of the camera.
