It takes an incredible amount of talent to make it in the music industry, but it takes so much more to find crossover success in the acting world.

Of course, so many of music’s biggest stars have pulled it off. Take Jennifer Lopez for example. She’s just as well known for her floor-filling chart-toppers as for her blockbuster movies!

However, just like any other actor in Hollywood, even the most talented pop star actor isn’t going to get every part they audition for.

That was the case for these 17 pop stars who auditioned for parts in critically acclaimed movies but didn’t get the role. We pulled together everything we know about each audition, including who ultimately got the part.

It’s a safe bet that everyone can easily name their favorite female pop star from the golden age of music in the ’00s. But do you also know who is the wealthiest?

Pop music soared to new heights as we moved into a new millennium in 2000, and we were introduced to an entirely new generation of stars.

Some of the musicians who defined the ’00s started laying a groundwork in the ’90s or even earlier. However, others were just getting started and have taken us on exciting journeys.

Of course, many of them are also still churning out amazing content all the way into 2024, and they don’t show signs of slowing down.

Music is a lucrative career, and that is evident when looking at the net worth of these musicians.

Curious to see just how much they have earned?

With the start of the 2024 Coachella Music Festival, which sees the reunion of Gwen Stefanie‘s No Doubt, we decided to take a stroll down memory lane. We rounded up some of the most prominent names from the ’00s and ranked them based on their estimated net worth.

What did we learn? Several pop stars of the era are members of the billionaire’s club today, and they’ve all amassed impressive fortunes. However, the top earner still beats out her closest competitor by about $600 million!

The Ozempic trend has exploded worldwide, in Hollywood and beyond. The once-a-week injectable medicine was created to help adults with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar, but is also known for its weight loss effects, which some celebrities are using for that reason…and only that reason.

Despite Ozempic (and similar drugs) becoming a tool for weight loss, one plastic surgeon told Us Weekly in March 2023 that it was never meant for people who are near their ideal weight, and that “it’s not even approved by the FDA for casual weight loss.”

Regardless, some stars have once and/or still take Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and others for weight loss. Others have spoken out when accused of taking the drugs. With that in mind, we’re looking at celebrities who’ve denied and admitted to taking Ozempic and similar weight loss drugs.

Oprah Winfrey is one of the stars who’s getting candid about weight loss drugs.

Last month, Oprah hosted an hour-long ABC primetime special about weight loss drugs, called An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution.

Breaking up is hard to do, especially if there are millions of fans following your every move.

For some of our favorite singers in the music industry, the end of a relationship has provided the creative fodder for some of the best breakup songs of our time. Time and time again, artists put their pain into poetry, producing highly relatable and deeply emotional tunes about the demise of a romance.

Over the decades, several high-profile relationships have come to an end, and one (or both) parties have channeled their emotions into music. They’ve also either outright revealed who the song is about in interviews, or provided enough context clues in the lyrics to figure out who it’s probably about.
