Nowadays, celebrities find fame very quickly, and in most cases, it then becomes an ego booster for them. We cannot blame them because it’s just human nature. Some celebs willingly let this fame get in their heads and think of themselves as an idea.
However, gaining a silver of glory or being in the spotlight for a few years or decades doesn’t mean they will always be on everyone’s lips.
In fact, some celebs have experienced a tough time accepting the truth that no one cares about them anymore, even no matter how hard they appear in reality shows or try new music.
Below are 9 whose fame slipped away but they don’t realize that.

Kristen Stewart rose to stardom with her portrayal of Bella Swan in The Twilight Saga. Fans associated her with their beloved heroine until the series wrapped. In 2012, the romance between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson came to an end as a result of her cheating scandal with director Rupert Sanders. After the scandal, the actress starred in some movies and most of them seem to bomb.
#2. Lindsay Lohan

After starring in the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap, Lindsay Lohan became famous. However, she was deemed a box-office terror because of changes related to tardiness, theft, substance abuse, and nightly partying.
#3. Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton is an ideal example of “famous for being famous”. The reality series The Simple Life catapulted her to global fame. Hilton has never lived a simple life since her birth, but her prevalence as a socialite was quickly overtaken by the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Now, she just relies on Yeezy partnerships to seek a reputation.
#4. Tyra Banks

The reality TV star and supermodel Tyra Banks was hated by many celebs. Despite her contribution to guiding America’s Next Top Model to become one of the longest-running reality shows in history, her entrepreneurial pursuits were short-lived.
Although she landed a hosting gig on Dancing With the Stars, Season 26-winner Jordan Fisher told ET that the casting was "odd" and feared her changes to the show. Maybe say goodbye to smizing for a while!
#5. Nicolas Cage

After his debut in Fast Times in 1982, Nicolas Cage has acted in more than 100 films. He is regarded as a versatile actor in a range of hit-or-miss movies.
The last decade has been lackluster at best and littered with self-destructive behavior. It seems that people don’t watch his movies anymore, his images become popular Internet memes. It is a punishment for his all mistakes.
#6. Tyler Perry

Tyler Perry gained his reputation because of his charitable works and movies that he starred in. However, countless tanked spin-offs prove that too much of the wacky grandmother can be anything but good.
#7. Katherine Heigl

Katherine Heigl, a former Grey's Anatomy actress, and model, disappeared from the public eye after her prima donna persona came to light. The actress won the Best Supporting Actress for Drama award in 2007 but refused to receive another nomination the following year which she never recovered from.
She claimed that her role wasn’t worth winning and that made Grey’s filmmaker feel insulted. Too little, too late for Heigl, it seems, because now her chances of another nomination are nonexistent.
#8. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson

50 Cent was best known as a rapper and he had a glittering career. However, that fame slipped away once the music stopped.
He is the definition of irrelevance after numerous failed business ventures and a terrible acting career. He's not breaking any box office records as a bankrupt actor, but at least his music is still around.
#9. Madonna

Madonna was popular in the ‘80s and called the Queen of Pop for decades. Fans began to notice that she was a touch behind the times once she flashed her butt at the 2015 Grammy Awards. She was mimicking the actions of younger pop stars, and her tone-deaf tweets indicated that her star was fading.
