What exactly do you mean you played Clay Aiken? In a skit? Whatever the explanation, Twitter user @TenderFriends has a unique one-minute fame story to share with us.
The picture doesn’t give much more detail, but it’s at least proof that this young man did, at one point, “Play Clay Aiken” on television. Unfortunately, he had to do it next to Jimmy Fallon, so he probably doesn’t tell too many people about it. Brave of him to send Teigen a tweet, in that case.
Relaxing With Strangers After a Long Day
Nothing like gathering with your fake family to pose for an advertisement. That's the story Twitter user @AliahXtine tells us happened when she was in a print ad for something called Bactronix Corp, a mold removal service and duct cleaning company out of Pennsylvania.
A fake family has a few advantages over a real one if you're wondering. There's very little drama, for one thing. There are probably fewer arguments about money, and if things don't work, all it takes to go your separate ways is to shake hands and get in your car.
Sounds Like a Cool Show
Robert Matthew Van Winkle hit it big as Vanilla Ice, an early nineties rapper with hits like “Ice, Ice Baby,” and...we think it was just that one, actually. He was also in a movie, “Cool as Ice,” which is hilariously bad. It seems like Vanilla is working on a comeback with a few different ideas.
One of them was a show called “Vanilla Ice Flip Advice,” which we can only imagine is about this one-hit-wonder coming to homes and telling the owners what they need to work on to get the house in shape to sell. Twitter user @laughlines got to be part of the pilot, but the show never got picked up.
Not Very Sanitary of You, Martha
Juliet Ames didn't know what she was getting into when she consented to appear on a show with Martha Stewart. According to Juliet's tweet, she ate not only a kimchi hot dog but also raw steak with kimchi that Martha Stewart handed to her with her bare hands.
Juliet is apparently only a jewelry maker and crafter from Maryland, so she wasn't used to being in the spotlight. She was so tongue-tied she couldn't say a word. It may have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but it also wasn't all that sanitary.
Nobody Expected That
It's simple. Carlton Banksy had a vasectomy, then had a photo shoot. His picture was put right under that of Beyoncé, he got a bunch of interviews from Buzzfeed and Yahoo, and then a bunch of people got mad at him. We have no idea how any of that happened, except for people getting mad at him online, which tends to happen anytime you mention celebrities.
Just by having Beyoncé's name in this article, we're going to get people mad at us. Unlike most of the people on this list, Carlton doesn't have fond memories of his one minute of fame, which is full of so many questions. Why the photoshoot? Why the interviews?
