Fame, they say, is fleeting. One minute you're the hottest thing going and the next you're a has-been who never will be again. Nowhere is that more evident than in show business, where life as an A-lister can fade quicker than the time it takes to fast forward through the commercials on your DVR.

Fret not, though—they'll always have a place in our hearts, and maybe they'll even get the opportunity to become huge TV stars all over again!
