Carrot Top
This comedian saw a lot of success during the early days of his career. Carrot Top was a riot with his props and unique humor. At the peak of his popularity, he got a botched plastic surgery procedure that gave him a pair of huge arms. He continues to do standup to this day, although he has not managed to really make it big after that fiasco.

Natalie Maines
The Dixie Chicks had been a platinum-selling music act that could have gotten even bigger if it weren’t for the negative remarks they made about George Bush. This was not received well by the public. The country trio got banned by radio stations across the country. They started to get death threats as well. Even though Natalie Maines apologized for the statement, it was already too late by then.
