Nothing sounds better than falling backasswards into a life of fame and fortune without having to pay any of your dues. That’s my dream, actually. And I think it gives all of us hope. Here are eight celebrities who accidentally became famous.
Jason Statham: He went from Olympic hero to London street urchin, but when he was picked up by an agent while working out, everything changed for Jason Statham. He got a modeling job for French Connection and appeared in Guy Ritchie’s Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
Gisele Bundchen: Bundchen was at a shopping mall on a school field trip, eating McDonalds, when a modeling agency approached her. She was selected for a national contest...

Here are 5 celebrity business endeavors that didn’t quite make it.
Kim Basinger: After her 1989 Batman success, Kim bought a town. Yes, an entire town. Kim purchased the town of Braselton, Georgia for $20 million. She was hoping to turn it into a tourist attraction. Basinger wanted to develop movie studios and host a film festival there. Turns out, she couldn’t single-handedly recreate Hollywood in a Podunk place in the middle of nowhere. In an interview with Barbara Walters in 1998, Basinger said “nothing good came out of it” due to a rift in her family. That, and, it was a terrible idea.

Nick, who used to be friends with Charlie, is confused about his mom's alleged engagement because he keeps hearing conflicting reports.
"Nobody has actually confirmed it me," Nick Hogan told Us Weekly at Sunday's Comedy Central roast of David Hasselhoff in Los Angeles.
"Nobody said anything about an engagement," he said. "There was no champagne, no party, no big happy celebration."
He even confronted her and she avoided the conversation. He said, "'Do you want to tell me anything? Did you guys get engaged?' And she said no. She denied it and said, 'No, they are just promise rings.'"
But Nick knows better than that. "But then everyone else I hear it from says it's true. I don't know. My mom could be trying to get one over on me just because she doesn't want me to be weirded out, but who knows. That's the truth on my end!"
"Weirded out" is a nice way of putting it. Absolutely disgusting and creepy is another. How messed up do you have to be to get engaged to your sons 21-year-old friend?! So creepy!

Linda Hogan's fiancé was good friends with her son before the two hooked up. The two started dating when Charlie was only 19-years old. It's one thing being a cougar, but this is just straight up creepy.
Linda and Hulk's divorce was finalized back in 2009, but their kids never seemed to get over the fact that their mom was dating someone their age.
And neither did Hulk! Last year he told Rolling Stone: "You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater [Florida] and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife ... I totally understand O.J. I could have turned everything into a crime scene like O.J., cutting everybody's throat."
Brooke Hogan was also verbal about how she disapproved of her mom’s romance. Back in 2008, she told E! satellite radio that she was "totally freaked out" by her mother's new romance.
"I personally don't like it at all or condone it, but she's my mom, so I have to show her support. I went to school with him. He was a grade under me. Me and Nick know him well."
This is just so disgusting! Can't wait to see how this all turns out.

In his new autobiography, My Life Outside the Ring, Hogan admits he picked up a loaded gun to shoot himself after she filed for divorce, but luckily he soon came to his senses.
He wrote: “There were times when I thought that a whole bottle of pills would go down easy. Then I noticed the gun in my hand. I was careless with it… I kept my finger pressed right to that trigger… and if I moved that finger an inch in the right direction I would have blown my brains out.”
As if the divorce wasn't enough, he slipped further into depression after his son Nick's infamous car accident that left his friend and passenger, John Graziano with severe brain damage.
Making matters worse was the fact that his ex wife had started dating a teenager, someone who went to school with his son Nick. Hogan admitted the situation left him “humiliated,” but eventually he “took the high road” and “turned to Christ.”
Hogan seems to be doing much better these days. He's come to terms with his wife dating a child and is refocusing his attention on his children and being the best dad that he can be. It's sad that some time in the spotlight literally tore this family apart.

Linda claims her ex husband rolls joints with his daughter while in the studio, and that Brooke Hogan “continues to spew lies on behalf of her father's lame attempt to distance himself from the reality that he is no different from the homicidal OJ Simpson.”
So Hulk’s lawyer fired back a statement defending his client, saying: "Brooke Hogan has spoken out in support of her father only because of her mother’s repeated fabricated attacks on him.
"She is in the unique position of knowing both parties in this litigation and she has only spoken as to what she knows to be the truth based upon her personal experience with each.
"Linda has refused repeated invitations by Brooke to reconcile and given these recent comments it appears a mother/daughter relationship is impossible at this time. It is sad that Linda Hogan continues to attempt to throw her family under the bus to gain publicity.”
Hulk also offered to take a legally supervised drug test to prove he’s clean, and challenged Linda to do the same, since he believes she’s the one doing drugs with her young boyfriend Charlie.
This family is a mess!! No matter how furious you are with your family, the tabloids are no place to air out dirty laundry. The Hogan’s should face off against the Spellings in a competition for family dysfunction!

In a new article with Ok! magazine, Brooke dishes about the new season of her show Brooke Knows Best, and we were surprised to hear how “open” she’s become.
When Ok! asked Brooke what viewers could expect from the upcoming season of the show, she said, “It’s crazier. I went on a date with a girl. The girl was really awesome and we had a blast. Then it got to the point where she was wanting to kiss me. Everyone knows I do not go there.”
We wonder why she would go in the first place if she wasn’t interested in women! But Brooke says she completely understands why Lindsay Lohan switched from guys to girls.
She told the mag, “Oh, totally. You can fall in love with anyone. I naturally migrate toward men first; some people may be more open about it. Personally, it’s not me.”
And speaking of dating, Brooke definitely doesn’t approve of her mom Linda Hogan dating 19-year-old Charlie. She told Ok!, “I had a talk with her and I said, 'I think everyone in America knows why I won’t accept Charlie.' But what people don’t know is that he’s a bad influence on her. She’s not staying as healthy as she should be. He’s 19, he can party his ass off.
"She’s 48. I said, ‘Mom, if you want to have a relationship with me you have to dump Charlie.’ It’s not because of his age. If he were 5 years old and a good influence on her then that would better. But I’m just not happy with the situation because of their poor judgment — with what they do.”
We’re not sure exactly what it is they do but at 19 years old, guys definitely aren’t done with their partying years. And women at 48 usually are! So we’ll side with Brooke here.
The second season of Brooke Knows Best returns to VH1 June 7th.
