Bizarre Post-Fame Lives Of 18 Former Celebrities

Day after day, a celebrity uploads something so bizarre that you should have to take a second look to make sure you are seeing it. Kris Jenner, Jessica Simpson, John Travolta, and others have all had social follies that made our aws drop. Celebrities have had no reservations about letting it all hang out on sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Being famous seems like it must be a lot of fun. All that public adoration and... swimming pools filled with money, we're guessing? It's not all autographs and limos, though. So much so that some well-known persons opt to quietly stop doing what they're recognized for and pursue other interests. And that something else can be quite strange at times.  From Rick Moranis becoming an ‘agoraphobic cowboy’ to Tom Selleck’s bizarrely unprofitable avocado farm sometimes celebrities find themselves falling down very odd rabbit holes.
