Celebrities who retired early

Fame and fortune were traditionally part of the "American Dream," but the publicity alone comes with a whole host of problems, and some actors just can't hack it. Others simply become disillusioned with the entertainment industry after working within its walls for many years. Cameron Diaz disappeared from the spotlight after her 2014 movie 'Annie,' which co-starred Jamie Foxx. The following year she married her husband Benji Madden, and in 2018, she confirmed that she was retiring from acting. Since then, Diaz had her first child and launched a wine brand called Avaline. Fans were shocked and delighted when she announced that she was coming out of retirement in 2022 to film another movie with Jamie Foxx. 'Back in Action' is a Netflix action-comedy directed by Seth Gordon, known for 'Horrible Bosses' (2011) and 'Baywatch' (2017), and is reportedly set for release in 2024. Production began back in December and will continue until April, but apparently, it's already been too much for Diaz. News broke on March 21 that the actress has decided to re-retire after this movie. This comes shortly after Foxx allegedly had a meltdown on set, firing an executive producer, two directors, and his driver. Sources close to Diaz say she is on good terms with Foxx and that the incident wasn't connected to her decision, but that the 10-hour work days and time away from family have just been too much. There are many stars who for one reason or another made the decision to retire early. Check out this gallery to find out who they are!

Celebrities who have dated billionaires

Some famous stars are incredibly wealthy, but then they get involved with someone with quite a few more billions in the bank, and all of a sudden, they don't seem that rich. And despite their wealth, some of these men and women are not as famous as the people they date. In this gallery, we look at several celebrities who dated (and in some cases married) billionaires.

Nick Lachey's Ups and Downs: Jessica Simpson Divorce, Legal Trouble, More

The spotlight has sometimes been glaring for Nick Lachey, who has dealt with both career ups and downs and personal highs and lows during his two-plus decades of fame. The 98 Degrees singer rose to stardom during his time with the boy band in the ‘90s — and skyrocketed once he married Jessica Simpson in 2002. While the group went on an extended hiatus in 2003, the then-couple featured their romance on the MTV reality show (and pop culture juggernaut) Newlyweds, but their marriage soon started to crumble. Things came to a head when the “Sweetest Sin” singer filed for divorce from Lachey in 2005. “I’ll tell you how I knew my marriage was over. I was told,” the “My Everything” singer told Rolling Stone one year later, claiming that Simpson announced she wanted a divorce while the two were in a limo after the American Music Awards. “She said something about how we hadn’t really been getting along and then said, ‘I think I want a divorce.’ That blindsided me. I basically said, ‘Please, let’s sleep on it.’ But when we woke up the next day, Wednesday morning, she was still sure.” (Simpson, for her part, detailed her side of the story in her 2020 memoir, Open Book.) Lachey channeled his emotions into his music, releasing the hit single, “What’s Left of Me,” in February 2006. He followed up the emotional track — which he penned in the wake of his split from Simpson — later that year with his sophomore album titled after the song. The “Because of You” artist began dating his now-wife, Vanessa Lachey (née Minnillo), after meeting on the set of the “What’s Left of Me” video. The couple tied the knot in 2011 and went on to welcome three children together: Camden, Brooklyn and Phoenix. In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies As the Lacheys built their life together and parented three kids, they also continued to achieve success in their separate — and joint — reality TV ventures. The pair have cohosted Netflix’s fan favorite dating competition series Love Is Blind since 2020, and Nick won season 5 of The Masked Singer in 2021. Despite all the positives in both his professional and personal lives, Nick found himself in legal trouble during an incident with a celebrity photographer in March 2022. “Last night, after enjoying a great dinner with my wife and our dear friend, the paparazzi harassed us as we walked back to our hotel,” Nick tweeted about the altercation one day later. “I clearly overreacted. I’ve been in this game long enough to know that their antics are sadly part of the deal. Stupid of me. Done.” According to the photographer, Jody Santos, she was snapping pictures of Nick and Vanessa outside of a restaurant in Beverly Hills when the “Hardest Thing” artist became “aggressive,” she told the Daily Mail one year later. He allegedly attempted to grab her phone from her car window, which she rolled up. The cameraperson alleged that Nick punched the glass so hard “I thought he was going to break his hand.” A representative for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office clarified to Us Weekly that as a result of the incident, Nick is “participating in LADA’s Prefiling Diversion program,” which requires that “he must participate in anger management classes and attend Alcoholic Anonymous meetings.” The spokesperson added: “Successful completion of the Prefiling Diversion Program will result in no criminal charges being filed.” Sign up for Us Weekly's free, daily newsletter and never miss breaking news or exclusive stories about your favorite celebrities, TV shows and more!

Satanic songs that reference the devil

Some songwriters have an affinity with the devil. As the personification of evil, the devil—or Satan, Lucifer, and Beelzebub, among other names the nefarious entity is bestowed with—is referenced in all sorts of songs to represent dark deeds, or the deceitful nature of people. But read the lyrics in a different way, and a song might instead be describing the devilish charm of an individual with an impossibly seductive manner.

Actors who stayed in touch with their child co-stars

When two actors spend month after month working together on a project, they inevitably form a strong bond (or a strong dislike for each other...). When one actor is an adult and the other is a child, the relationship is even more significant. Many stars have taken their young co-stars under their wings and even started to see them like one of their own children. The relationship doesn't end once the film or show's in the can either. In fact, some actors have kept in touch with their younger co-stars for decades. In many cases, these friendships were integral for the young actors as they grew up in the spotlight. For those who went on to become successful actors in their adulthood, they had the ultimate mentors who truly cared about their well-being and success. Click through this gallery to see the heartwarming stories of actors who formed strong connections with junior child co-stars, and stayed in touch long after the cameras stopped rolling.
