"b-list has-beens" trying to make a comeback

i've been working on some pretty funny stuff for work the past couple of days, and had to do some research on "b-list has-been's" trying to make a comeback. thought I'd share the findings for your enjoyment (along with some of my own thoughts on the discoveries):

mc hammer has a blog... like a real blog... like i have a blog talking about random crap and so does he, pictures and everything. best part is he has a new album coming out in 2007... can't wait:

vanilla ice thinks he’s pretty cool. he's got some gig coming up and he's all signed up for this season of the "surreal life" again. he pretty much thinks he's still amazing. ice ice baby!

dustin diamond a.k.a screech (Saved by the Bell) is trying to get the world to help him save his house from foreclosure (pardon the language on his site... this was just for research... but seriously, who knew screech was such a potty mouth?!)

not that david hasselhoff a.k.a. THE HOFF ever actually fell off the radar :) but he is a bizarre mix of taking himself seriously and being a complete lunatic. he has a major cult following and his insane videos on YouTube are incredibly viral (this was the part i was researching... random stuff these people are doing to get attention and build a following again). anyway, the Hoff's official site is pretty amazing to behold.

and here’s the stuff that spreads through the internet like wildfire… “Jump in My Car” (the hoff's latest video).

and THIS is the greatest thing you’ll ever see in your whole life! (the hoff video that really got me hooked on this baywatch babe again)

and don't forget about skid row. these guys are trying to ride the 80’s revival train right now. not sure how much success they’re having, but they likely have a pretty solid fan base of 30-somethings who are stoked that they have a new album and a tour schedule... sweet!

then… there’s jordan knight… what more do I need to say than his idea of a comeback tour is appearing LIVE with deborah gibson (she’s apparently too old for "debbie" now)… and check out the first line of his bio: “Maybe the idea of Jordan Knight singing love songs seems like old news – after all, his voice has adorned some of the most romantic material on record, whether on the classic hits of New Kids on the Block or on the solo CDs that has established him as a star in his own right.” Umm… ya. Last time I checked, NKOTB was pretty much the worst band ever (despite the fact that I had my walls plastered with posters of them)… and honestly, does anyone recall any of jordan knights music (NKOTB included) being anywhere near the most romantic material on record? oh i'm sorry... a better question would be does anyone remember jordan knights music? ok, i'm done. anyway, check out his site; he takes himself WAY too seriously. i love that!

and deborah gibson… some people just need to leave what’s been done in the past... in the past, but no… she’s back, ready to sign her old posters for you and all!

anyway, perhaps not everyone enjoys poking fun at these people who are grasping desperately for a piece of what used to be. but i can't help it.
