Forums - General - Biggest comeback in show biz.

I want to know who made the biggest comeback. In my opinion i think it was Britney Spears because after her head shaving, umbrella attack, vma disaster, rehab, going around without panties she manage to put a succesful album and tour and she even manage to appear in Maxim Hot 100 this year. Another person i think is Robert Downey, Jr.

Probably Robert Downey Jr.

Also Lindsay Lohan. She seems to be making a comeback with a couple upcoming movie roles.



Robert Downey Jr.'s was pretty big.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

I'm pretty sure Britney managed a successful album and tour because of those incidents, not in spite of them. We live in an age where rehab and sex tapes are quick roads to stardom. Spears fits into the mold of embarassing one's self to the top through gossip magazine attention every Joe and Sally can't ignore as they wait on line getting groceries.

I can get behind Robert Downey Jr. though. He owes a massive thanks to John Favreau(one of the most underrated "that guy" in hollywood).

I would have to go with Aerosmith. Huge in the 70's, and then died through most of the 80's, only to come back much larger then they were before.

@TheRealMafoo. But they only got there by popifying hideously.

I'm going with Bob Dylan, massive in the 60's big in the 70's ignored by the mainstream for the 80's and 90's and somehow huge again in the 00's.

Not really. They went pop after then got back on top. They had to. Nirvana killed everything before it.



Flavor Flav

People were forgetting who he was until Flavor of Love

John Travolta. Hot in the 70's. Nothing in the late 80's, hot in the 90's.

And once again, nothing this decade.....but 2010-2020? Watch out!!



Aerosmith in the 90's was a hollow shell of what once was a good band.
