David Spearman, now a spreadsheet-expert data director, once had the opportunity to be an extra on the TV show “Empire.” He even shook Terrence Howard’s hand and everything. It seems Spearman’s acting career didn’t pick up enough steam for him to get any bigger roles since he moved into the corporate world not too long after his brush with fame.
It might be sad to take a step back and settle into a cubical, but fame isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be – case in point, not too long after Spearman had a chance to meet Howard, the actor decided enough was enough and called it quits. He said he was “tired of pretending.”
You're Always a Star to Your Grandparents
If you were part of certain communities when you were a child and teenager, you probably attended your fair share of bat and bar mitzvahs, including your own. The guy or gal at the center of attention is always dressed to the nines as part of their introduction to adulthood, but few make it onto the cover of a magazine.
Lil Tay might be long past the age of her bat mitzvah, but apparently, her grandparents still have a copy of the magazine that featured their little girl and take every opportunity they can to kvell about her minute of fame.
Chipmunking It on Live Television
Molly Norman hails from Minnesota, the land of tasteless, mealy food that you eat because you have nothing else to do than shovel snow and watch your sports teams lose. It's for this reason that she was so good at hiding her displeasure with the calamari.
Instead of spitting the piece of food out, Molly stored it in her cheeks but was unable to get rid of it, seeing as she was seated right behind Carla Hall. Norman played it cool the entire time and then found an opportunity to get rid of the food when the cameras were off her. Calamari really isn't great if it isn't cooked properly.
She's in the Middle
Interns do frequently get the short end of the stick, but this is a little bit different than what usually happens. While Amy's working days were probably filled with menial tasks and fetching coffee, during one Comic-Con, she had the chance to pose between these voice-acting celebs in a Boxtroll costume from “The Boxtrolls.”
According to Amy's tweet, the male model that had been hired to pose couldn't get his big arms into the costume, so little Amy took his place. Based on the tone of Amy's tweet, it's possible that she was just as pleased with the opportunity as the Boxtroll's face appears to be.
Ask for Permission First
“Sondra Tamagotchi” looks pretty happy with her physical health in her picture, but she was not pleased one bit to see herself in the poster. A minute of fame may be one thing, but Sondra wasn't aware she would even be the subject.
She was only helping the photographer set up the shot when he used her as a lighting test, and then the next thing she knew, she was seeing her face looking back at her from flyers and banners. As someone whose entire career is having pictures of herself taken, Chrissy Teigen was quick to point out that this was not cool.
