Whatever Happened To...

"...this is where we track the has-beens, the flash-in-the-pans and those pseudo-celebrities who were all too annoying during their 15 measly minutes..."

Cool site. I spent a long time checking out people who had a shot at fame then suddenly disappeared.

Example, ever wonder what happened to Right Said Fred? Well here it is:

"Real Name: Fred Fairbrass, Richard Fairbrass
Category: One Hit Wonders
Claim To Fame: The bald headed brothers who released what Allmusic.com called perhaps the most ubiquitous novelty song of the '90s, I'm Too Sexy.

Where Are They Now: They have been working on a comeback ever since, Fred opened a gym and Richard went on to present Gaytime TV on BBC2 "

They have entries on Phoebe Cates (yup, She didn't die of AIDS), Catherine Bach, Jan Michael Vincent, Shaun Cassidy, The Cars, and even Dan Quayle!
