I find if you really exaggerate that
Hill going across it helps seeing the
side right yeah
maybe these celebrities should have just
stuck to what they’re good at
Shaq foo just the name makes people
cringe like you don’t even want to go
there welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 celebrity business fails I had
some clothing mishaps
I’ve had some clothing triumphs and
stuff like that for this list we’re
focusing on people who gained their
celebrity in movies music whatever and
who decided to use their fame to venture
into business only those endeavors
didn’t work out so well
I was basically victim to you know just
wearing sneakers every day these
enterprises were either critically
panned or commercially unsuccessful but
more often than not it was a combination
of the two number 10 fashion Cafe Naomi
Campbell Elle Macpherson Claudia
Schiffer and Christy Turlington the
first fashion cafe opened in New York
earlier this year with a celebrity
packed party these four supermodels
decided to go into the restaurant
business in the mid-1990s and why not
use their area of expertise as a theme
with two businessmen brothers the ladies
opened New York’s fashion cafe in 1995
and quickly began construction on a
London location that never opened Elle’s
most recent involvement is in fashion
cafe she travelled to London to check
out an old theater building that will
house the second restaurant in the plan
chain the restaurant never drew crowds
and critics found the connection between
fashion and food puzzling saying the
theme was off-putting to customers or at
least that it didn’t inspire them to you
know eat I have my career you guys don’t
you want what I have
and for me it’s a waste of my time that
plus infighting between the supermodels
compounded by the fact that they’re
businessmen partners were arrested for
fraud bankruptcy and
money laundering meant the restaurant
closed in 1998 you know know how to
switch it on and off so this is why I
got this picture I’ve asked you from day
one do not fight amongst yourselves
please come to me I’ve said that to you
number nine Shak fou Shaquille O’Neal I
call you I call you Shak I call you Shak
foo I’ll call you Shaq diesel you got
any new nicknames for me my new one is
Wolf of Wall Street
alright that’s it you’re a major
basketball star and a popular
personality in the early 1990s what do
you do make a 2d fighting game starring
yourself of course the Shaq foo video
game was released in 1994 for Sega
Genesis and Super Nintendo and is often
listed among the worst video games ever
with a terrible title and premise which
sees you playing as Shaquille O’Neal in
battles against otherworldly enemies all
while on your way to a charity
basketball game in Tokyo of course the
game was bound to fail you’re good at a
lot of things Shaq but you weren’t meant
for the gaming community now I can go
into depth and describe the controls in
every last detail why this game is so
god-awful but I don’t even have to the
name says it all the title doesn’t even
sound good jack foo it’s like a joke
number 8 Nicki o hotels Nikki Hilton
becoming the most global full-service
Hotel brand in the world with more than
540 locations in 78 countries Hilton
Hotels & Resorts continue to grow and
strengthen as heir to the world-famous
Hilton brand of hotels you’d think that
Nicky would have some business smarts
especially when it comes to the family
biz well evidently not so much meant to
be a lavish chain of hotels with a
signature scent designer sweets and
other extravagant details I smell money
with original locations in Miami and
Chicago the business never got off the
ground the company filed for bankruptcy
after one year and
to add insult to injury Hilton was later
sued by her partners for breach of
contract that business savvy Jean may
have skipped a generation that can you
imagine living here I’ve hidden number
seven Flav’s fried chicken Flavor Flav
in the early 2010’s
Flavor Flav tried to make it in the
fast-food business hoping that his fried
chicken oriented restaurant which used
his secret homegrown recipe would
provide competition to KFC well he was
wrong
after opening one store in January 2011
in Iowa the restaurant quickly closed
just three months later the reason
behind the closing is disputed with Flav
blaming manager Nick Camino for
mismanagement and chimi no blaming Flav
for being largely absent from the
business and for his general lack of
knowledge about the restaurant biz
either way it was a failure
number 6 take Hassan vegan Footwear
Natalie Portman couldn’t find vegan
shoes and I didn’t want to wear any
animal product and I had a really hard
time finding the shoes that I wanted to
wear this famous actress is an outspoken
vegan advocating animal rights on a
regular basis but her love of animals
did not mix as well with her business
ambitions as she might have hoped when I
would go out at night I would just have
very very option Portman partnered with
designer shoe store take us on in 2008
to create vegan friendly footwear
meaning shoes that are not made from any
animal by-product and a portion of the
proceeds would go towards animal
charities
while it was undoubtedly a good cause
and idea the shoes flopped as no one
ended up buying them later that year the
store closed leaving Portland’s business
dreams unfulfilled number five tourist
destination Brazelton Georgia Kim
Basinger this miss Martin this model and
actress had big ambitions planning to
turn a nowhere town Brazelton Georgia to
be exact
into a major tourist destination plans
of hosting large film festivals and
building movie studios to attract the
Hollywood crowd facing her bought the
town for twenty million dollars in 1989
however after some unrelated financial
difficulties she was forced to sell the
land in 1995 for a fraction of her
original investment she had big dreams
but unfortunately they did not come to
light and Brazelton remains a relatively
tourist free town of 8,000 number four
pastel clothing kanye west you ain’t got
the it you ain’t spent 13 million
dollars in your money trying but I spent
hundreds of thousands and don’t put now
clothing lives at a smaller degree all
I’m asking you up and there ain’t no
Ralphs though kanye may think he’s the
king of all music but his career in
business has struggled to reach those
same heights kanye west wants you to pay
a hundred and twenty dollars for a white
t-shirt so kanye has paired up with a
French clothing company to design a
white t-shirt in 2005 fashion plate West
began to have dreams of his own fashion
line and started sampling his clothes to
crowds at his concerts
pictures of the threads then went online
but almost immediately it was announced
that the pastel line was done and no
clothes would ever be released and I
could lose money on a higher level –
despite this failure however Yeezy went
on to release a relatively successful
women’s brand so we’re thinking we
haven’t seen the last of mr. West’s
passion for fashion when I did the Louis
Vuitton’s it was only one shot but the
problem is I tasted that clean water and
it taste is so good number three the
Kardashian Card the Kardashian sisters
the reality stars are cutting ties with
the prepaid cards that were charging
excessive fees in 2010 the Kardashian
sisters launched the Kardashian card a
bright glitzy looking credit card that
actually acted as a prepaid debit card
and targeted to young adults
specifically women who were still trying
to get on their feet financially the
worst offender may be the new Kardashian
card name for the reality show Celebrity
Anse it’s marketed to teenage girls the
card was canceled less than one month
after its release due to extremely high
fees legal problems and tons of bad
press but you do need a lot of money for
fees a six-month card cost 59.95 just to
set up the girls made a statement saying
they didn’t want anything to do with
predatory lending and that their
reputation as quote honest ethical and
fun-loving individuals who are kind and
caring to others end quote was too
important to sacrifice thus why they
scrapped it you know I wasted everyone’s
money at least everyone’s everything and
they feel bad you don’t think I feel bad
number two XFL Vince McMahon
ladies and gentlemen
in 2000 WWE owner Vince McMahon started
the XFL an extreme version of American
football that was meant to keep the
football crowd entertained during the
offseason the sport never took off as it
was never taken seriously
due to outrageous rules and its general
extreme nature which people couldn’t
disassociate from the WWE
worse yet some spectators accused the
XFL of being scripted with outcomes
predetermined for maximum excitement
factor lasting only one season
broadcaster NBC canceled XFL due to
abysmal TV ratings and poor reception of
the sport itself guess it’s back to
baseball I want you to get in there and
I want you to go get me some ratings
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
it’s been two years since 38 studios
collapsed employees stopped getting
paychecks the video game company owned
by former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling
went bankrupt
I’ve been eating my pasta mania and what
you gonna do in the Mall of America
brother with Hulk Hogan pasta mania and
all my pasta maniacs run wild on you
what’s he gonna do all right number one
Planet Hollywood
Arnold Schwarzenegger Bruce Willis do me
more Sylvester Stallone etc what
Hollywood is really cool because it’s
totally eating in Hollywood Museum
aiming to duplicate the success of the
Hard Rock Cafe this Hollywood themed
restaurant allowed patrons to eat while
looking at real props from movies and
various other film related items with
many a listers backing the venture the
company opened its doors in 1991 but
high prices and mediocre food kept
patrons away cleaning the restaurants
shares to drop dramatically sorry pal
Planet Hollywood has since filed for
bankruptcy twice and while at one point
there were over 100 locations worldwide
today there are fewer than 10 remaining
Arne has also severed his ties with the
company claiming that the restaurant
never had the success he dreamed it
