    You don't hear much from UK actor Alex Pettyfer these days, he was once hailed as the next Robert Pattinson but hasn't done anything major in years.

    Isn't he a bricklayer now? I remember some red top tracked him down and tried to shame him. What for, I don't know!

    Just thought of another one - anyone remember the actor and singer Jimmy Nail in the 80s/90s? Was in Auf Wiedersehen Pet and had a number one in 1992 with "Ain't No Doubt".

    They were supposed to be the next really big thing.
    There were a few that really disappeared: Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand, Keane etc

    Justin Lee Collins, West Country comedian. He used to be EVERYWHERE but you hardly ever hear about him anymore.

    He played 'Uncle Stan' in a movie last year called 'The Hatching', but how many people have heard of that movie? The last major thing he was in Big Brother's Bit on the Side - in 2012.

    Maybe they should do a show on Channel 4 called "Bring Back Justin Lee Collins"!

    Think he was convicted of some pretty sinister harassment of a former girlfriend.

    Rightly ended his career.

    Anyone remember "Fame Academy"? Anyone remember its contestant Alistair Griffin? One or two hits and then dropped from his label? Well, I'd completely forgotten about him until a few weeks ago when I found this cover he did of a Yazoo classic. The BBC used it at the end of its coverage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding. A very touching cover and very beautiful.

    He sounds a bit like Badly Drawn Boy.

    Anyone remember Jonathan Taylor Thomas, from Home Improvement? He's been real quiet over the last few years.

    Well, Charli XCX and Troye Sivan have a new song out about being nostalgic for the 1990s and, in the bridge, Troye sings about "fantasising about JTT and MTV".

    A few years ago Johnny Borrell released a solo album, it did really badly. About 500 copies in its first week.

    Some singers have one or 2 hit albums and they vanish.
    Dido etc they have millions so they don,t need to release any new songs.Its really hard to write new pop songs that will get into the charts .
    Sell a few million cds and you can just live off the royalties anyway.
    John cena makes films now ,comedys or action films .
    nora jones sold alot of cd,s about 9 years ago ,she just do,es not have big hits anymore.
