Whatever happened to …..?

[supernintendochalmers]

The cast of Malcolm in the Middle (apart from Bryan Cranston, who I thought was hilarious as Hal). The actors who play Dewey and Reese don't seem to act anymore and I think Francis is a DJ.

 

[bubbadabut]

Sonique. Absolutely massive in that heady summer of Y2K.

 

[HeCannitSeeMan]

John Alford! I know all the fake sheik biz from Brian Harvey’s tales but where and what is he upto these days? He was my dream through Grange Hill and London’s burning - such a shame his career longevity was fucked from the NOTW shenanigans.

 

[Blue pumpkin]

I'm have zero intesrest in knowing what these lot are up to now but I remember at the time they were everywhere

Miss Dynamite
Darius Danesh
Freddie Prinze Jr
Jack Dee
Andy Parsons (comedian)

The extreme wealth part isn’t true, her dad was a doctor and her mum didn’t work but they were definitely not extremely wealthy. I went to the same school as her and also ballet class with her younger sister, they were really nice people. Cannot comment on Anna’s personality as I was a fair bit younger but she was very beautiful, much more than ever came across in Lolly’s bizarre stage look

I really wouldn’t surprise me if the person I heard it from was shit stirring as they weren’t the nicest person themselves, but I do know that their families were very, very close. Either way they didn’t have one nice thing to say about them other then the money.

my next one:

Dean Cain from superman fame when Teri Hatcher was Lois Lane. The show was HUGE

 

[StormSolitaire]

Whatever happened to all those singers that were promoted as the next big thing, hyped up, in all the mags and they had one or two big hits and disappeared?
Little boots
Sam Sparro
David Jordan
Dizzee Rascal
Honeyz (yep i know they were on Big Reunion but not heard from them since)
The 411- loved them
Hepburn
Mini Viva

 

[Maniac2003]

Vicky pattisons jaw, like seriously what the fuck

 

[JOHN1967]

Kevin Bishop (appeared in a lot of programmes in the mid-late 2000s, had his own shows called The Kevin Bishop Show and Star Stories)
Zezi Ifore (Big Brother's Little Brother presenter in 2008, she was known for her poor presenting skills, then got fired for not showing up for work)
Liz Barker (Blue Peter presenter)
Rebecca Loos (Rumoured affair with Beckham, appeared on Celebrity Love Island and Celebs on the Farm)
Rik Waller (Pop Idol contestant)
Dick & Dom (don't really see them on TV anymore)

I know what happened to these two now, but I did wonder for a while...
Justin Lee Collins (was everywhere for a while, then got accused of abuse and harassment of a former girlfriend)
Matt Johnson (he used to be on daytime TV a lot, but disappeared, he was sadly having mental health issues. He is on the Postcode Lottery ads now)

Sarah Rose Karr (little girl who was in the Beethoven films, Kindergarten Cop and Father of the Bride)

I am reading Kevin Bishop, but for some reason in my mind I am seeing Harold Bishop from Neighbours.

That horrible bloke that was married to the late Linda Bellingham. Think his name was Mike. Boy did he do a number on her sons...

Ah ah - Mr Spain. He got married again a couple of years ago in the same church he married Linda.
Just googled him and he lives in a mansion which he bought with the money Linda left him, her fortune was estimated at £10million - don't know how truthful that is re the amount. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/celebrity/lynda-bellinghams-widower-splashes-out-7822501

 

[coconochanel]

I used to like Darius 'your the light your the light when I close my eyes I'm colourblind'

 

[Haughty]

Natasha Kaplinsky

No idea what she's up to now but a friend of a friend had the room next to her for a while at uni. Paper thin walls so overheard a lot of very unpleasant and very loud arguing and sex.

 

[JombleWomble]

Steve Brookstein accepts change in shops: 'thankyou. You've not short-changed me, unlike X Factor!'

Steve Brookstein sees his neighbour with their dog: 'good morning. Taking him for a walk? Unlike me with Simon Cowell, that's a good way of being led down the garden path!'

Steve Brookstein was a guest speaker at a school event I had to go to as a teenager and he was clearly nursing a raging hangover and didn't want to be there.

He gave a speech that presumably was meant to be motivational, but it was just a really long ramble about "one day when you're all 30 you'll wake up and realise you've wasted your life by not living up to your potential". It was one of the most bizarre things I'd ever seen.

This was only in 2005 as well, so it clearly didn't take him very long after X Factor to become so bitter!

 

[hehehe]

Agyness Deyn. With her made up ass name. BFF to Henry Holland. I was looking at an old ASOS magazine from 2011 and saw her in a Pepe Jeans ad, and remembered how she was on every runway and in every print ad and ABSOLUTELY FUCKING EVERYWHERE for about a year or two, then poof! suddenly disappeared.

 

[Joexotica]

To the person who asked about Daniel Bedingfield. A while back I knew someone who was professionally acquainted with him. DB apparently made a heck of a lot of money out of his brief fame through usage on TV shows etc /international sales and because he was part of that last generation of musicians where even a brief period of fame/good sales could set you up for life. Alsohe had complete creative control over his stuff so more money in his pocket. So I assume he can do whatever he likes.

I do remember he did a very graphic video called Secret Fear a few years ago where he was simulating sex with a woman and they were both full frontal naked. Not sure if I can link as very NSFW

 

[thegirlscout]

The singer, Lolly.

Oh my god!! LOLLY!
OH MICKEY YOU’RE SO FINE, YOU’RE SO FINE YOU BLOW MY MIND, HEY MICKEY!

The Cheeky Girls. Last I heard of them, one of them was engaged to Lembit Opik.

don't know where this will land - I am catching up!

One of them was working in a car dealership in Lincoln. She had an affair with the husband of a lass I worked with!

 

[Prince fan 1999]

Mika? He was everywhere about 15 years ago. Had songs called Grace Kelly and big girls you are beautiful.
