flavor-flav-gremlin

We all know that “age ain’t nothing but a number.” But when you’re not bringing in the numbers that you used to, it might just be time to hang up the gloves.

Here’s a list of celebs who have had more than their share of the fame. Its up to you to decide whether or not its a wrap for their careers, but here are our suggestions for what they can do with all of their post-retirement spare time.

1.) Ashanti – Go to dance classes to learn some new moves.

2.) Mariah Carey – Just go do whatever grown women who think that they’re fairy princesses do.

3.) Vivica Fox -Grow a full body of fur, and make the complete cougar transformation. It works for you.

4.) Kelly Rowland – Just do some soul searching. Somehow, it still feels like you haven’t quite found yourself yet.

5.) Janet Jackson – Decide whether you want to be frumpy or fierce because we can’t take any more of your yo-yo diet/weight loss routine. Go make some munchkins with JD.

6.) Cassie – A singer, you are not. Retire the mic. Rip the runways.

7.) Lil Mama -I hear the circus is hiring; clown.

8.) Mary J Blige - Same old Mary. 10 years later.

9.) Flavor Flav – Flav missed his calling. He would have gotten his acting break if he didn’t miss the casting for gremlins. Think of how many horror movies he could have had under his belt clock by now. Theres still time Flav. The movie biz is always in need of spare gremlins.

10.) Lil Kim – Open up a plastic factory.

Lets hear your thoughts. Is it time for there celebs to retire?

    I agree cassie is supermodel status. she should hang up the mic. and damn if lil momma dont look old as hell…damn shame and she aint in the hood so theirs no excuse.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Gods_chosenman/ Gods_chosenman

    Despite looking like a reformed crackhead Flav is a deep dude…extremely intelligent (If you dont believe me listen to some of his radio interviews from back in the day) and its a shame he doesnt have a better image in hollywood. I think Even Chuck was sad to see Flav exploit himself for money. I disagree about Ashanti and Kelly rowland they both deserve a second chance.

    Poor Kelly, she should’ve taken the route Letoya Luckett chose lol.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/0VancouverHurts/ 0VancouverHurts

    I agree with most except Janet & Vivica & Mariah. Janet can still perform and I witnessed that last year, she might not be making good music but her concerts are a must-see! Vivica is a great actress and shes fierce and gorge. Mariah will never go away, she keeps making albums for her fans and I think thats nice of her, she is the lazy type and can retire if she wants to but she does it all for the fans! She really loves her fans. And I dont mind her continuing to make music until shes 70 lol….But yeah if Janet ever retires, Bey will stand alone as the best entertainer since MJ is now gone…

    Cassie: Get a voice coach and cheering section.
    Mariah Carey: Nick Cannon? seriously Nick Cannon? what did Tommy Matola do to you?
    Vivica Fox: Thank you for fixing that plastic surgery punked incident.
    Kelly Rowland: You still look good, but damn eat some cornbread or something with fat in it damn!

    LITTLE KIM: Lord have mercy. Is she the new Michael now?? I love Michael, but I’m just asking.
    LIL MAMA: Is that the lil girl who sings “lip gloss”?????
    MARIAH CAREY: lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo DEAD… like she’s starting to look
    KELLY ROWLAND: she’s ok. you just can’t go behind a MEGA STAR. Try acting, hun.
    VIVICA FOX: I really dont have much to say about Vivica. But I would like to know why did she feel the need for a nose job??

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Caramel_Chicka/ Caramel_Chicka

    Lil Kim is going to be done with her transformation into an Asian woman by the end of next year. I knew she had that name for a reason. If she opens up a hair store its over.

    Is BP daft? Mary J. Blige… are you serious? The woman has come from the streets, been on drugs, and still rose again like a Phoenix. She looks GORGEOUS for her age and she is classy with an edge. This article is backwards. You could have picked Lil Wayne or those tired a.ss wanna-be thug rappers or even the s**ts that sex their way into music who obviously don’t have talent. BP get a clue. Listen to some REAL music and some REAL black vocals then rewrite this article!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Divaatash/ Divaatash

    lol wow

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Shamel_/ Shamel_

    HB, surprisingly you are like 90% “DEAD ON” with this list! WOW!!! Although I like Kelly Rowland, find her to be talented and beautiful…she does need to find herself. However, you was completely misplaced on your opinion of MJB. Mary J. Blige is CONSISTENTLY good and has evolved into an amazing artist. Sista girl is a powerhouse. WTF were you guys thinking for adding her on this list??? You almost made me pull off my earrings on that one (LOL)! I declare Mary J. Blige be removed off this list effective immediately (smh)!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Rebirth_of_Mega/ Rebirth_of_Mega

    This list is hilarious but I believe that there should be more entertainers on this list because a lot of these celebrities are has-beens and nobody cares about them…seriously; their not doing anything besides keeping their face in the limelight just to keep their celebrity status.Jeanene James, I believe you should dig a little more deeper on this subject because you should put the complete list of celebrities who should retire, besides the obvious suspects.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Lady_Chai/ Lady_Chai

    I agree with this list

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_mz_k_/ _mz_k_

    ROFLMAO@Mariah Carey for being a grown woman who thinks she’s a fairy princess!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sweetnsexywitit/ sweetnsexywitit

    So question, would you stop making money because someone thinks you need to retire? Hellll nahh so why should they! I say every person on this list need to keep making that cheadda and the hell what people think! Mary do your thing baby you are a Queen and will always be. I don’t care too much about half of the people on this list, but they gotta eat just like I do. So make that money until you can’t make it no more! I’m so tired of people judging other people like they God. If they not hurting anyone what’s wrong with making money..? Smh as I’m walking away..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/candy695/ candy695

    I say if the music and acting is still good and people is buying it and going to the movies to watch let them retire when they want to. Mary J blige is a wonderful singer, her name should not even be on the list, it doesn’t matter how long she been in the music game. Forget who ever made this list.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/everymansdream9/ everymansdream9

    If someone has taken a substantial hiatus from the limelight, they should stay gone. It’s not attractive to make a comeback after more than 5 years and it reeks of desperation to say the least.
    FYI Mary has changed over the last 10 years and she continues to be a bestseller, therefore it is offensive that she is on this list.
    Flavor Flav, if I ever met him I’d ask him a simple question “Why are you embarrassing yourself?”
    Mariah Carey should have gotten the hint when Glitter(movie and CD) flopped to such magnitude that her record company bought her out of her contract.
    She hasn’t been the same since Butterflies, that was her last greatest effort in my opinion.
    I only heard one or two songs from Cassie that I truly liked and I don’t know if her album ever came out, ssssooooo yeah maybe she should go model. I think she’d do well.
    Although I like a few of her songs, Ashanti never had real talent to begin with. Lil Kim, need I say more? Lil Mama, who was the genius that thought she was a hit in the first place? Seriously, who? think Vivica still has some years left but…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Pocahontas_/ Pocahontas_

    “Everymansdream9″ – Just because a person is gone for more than 5 yrs doesn’t make it your decision whether they should be allowed to make a comeback or not! That is stupid of you to say. GROW UP!

    I do agree that Mary should not be on that list she is a fantastic singer and performer with an incredible story to tell! She is a diva and that will never change! Mary you go girl!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Kennedy_alt/ Kennedy_alt

    When did LIL KIM become asian … she was pretty prior to plastic surgery

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Lady_CeCe99/ Lady_CeCe99

    wow lil kim and lil mama look a hot mess in those pics..and mary j shouldnt be on that list at all..they are trippin with that.she is a legend and an such a soulful grown woman thats still doin her thang. as for the others on that list..cassie never could sing a lick but she would make a good model. flav..dont even need to speak on that one..lmao..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/1_Nonly1/ 1_Nonly1

    Ashanti is talented. She just need better material/management/production….

    Mariah ummm I don’t know I mean her last album did bang (emancipation of Mimi) she just fake tho, it seems like she’s holding on to a huge secret or something.

    Viv yeah I can do without. Not saying she can’t act or anything, she just hasn’t made a strong impact in the industry.

    Kelly needs a new stylist and she needs to stop strying to be so different than Beyonce. I mean for real, Kelly could have done a whole lot better on a few of B songs, da girl can blow.

    Mary is the BEST and will always be..enough said, she don’t need to go no where and she’s not so quit hating.

    Janet is Janet… I like her better as an actor, but singing is what she was born to do and people loves her….she ain’t going no where, once again quit hating and what does her weight has to do with anything???

    And for the rest on the list ummmmmmm don’t care enough to comment.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/trisha_369/ trisha_369

    First off-I would like to ask-Jeanene James-How do YOU look and HOW much MONEY you MAKE? I agree Flavor-Fla is NOT the FINES man ON earth but,WHAT does that have to DO with you? I bet he MAKE more MONEY than YOU and DAMN sure is SPOKE of MORE than YOU. As for THE rest of your LIST go-you left alot of STARS off and PUT up those WHO are doing THERE thing and should NOT be on HERE.
    Asanti-dont have to DANCE just know how to COUNT.
    Mariah Carey-she didn’t JUST think it-she DONE it.
    Vivica Fox-with all the MONEY she is MAKING-im sure she GOT alot of FUR in her CLOSET.
    Kelly Rowland-she found that her LYRICS sell-she WRITES for OTHER people.
    Janet Jackson-is LIKE her brother Michael…BAD and thats in a GOOD way.
    Cassie-PAID…NO net TOPIC writer.
    Lil Mama-doing what she NEED to do…MAKING money.
    Mary J Blige-10 years and STILL going STRONG dropping HITS and in 10 more years givng YOU a job by having a TOPIC to write ABOUT.
    Flavor Fla-like I stated above not the FINES on EARTH but,still make MONEY and is SPOKE of.
    Lil Kim-yeah she need to OPEN a Plastic Factory and give you a NEW job this one is NOT cut out for YOU.
    Now this is MY OPINION of your TOPIC.

    Well the way I feel about it if any celebritystill have it they can stay in the business long as they want..why people just can’t be happy for someone instead of putting them down….give that heffer Jeanene James some haterade…cause we all have a gift to do something in this world whether its long term or short term

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blackdiamond184/ blackdiamond184

    There are always so many negative articles on this site. For a site that is geared toward representing one race of people Black Planet does an ignorant job with the articles posted. Funny if a latino or white person said anything like that about any one of those celebrities there would be an article on bp saying they are racist. I have seen it before on here. How about less gossip and more uplifting articles like all the good things Mary J. Blige has done for the community.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/nikki497/ nikki497

    first off please don’t talk about lil kim, secondly cassie can sing and she is bee u ti ful, third mary j. has changed alot since 10 years ago and i’m proud of her. don’t know why yal said that about vivica foxx and janet will always be my girl weather she’s big or little she my nigga if she does get bigger, but all the rest may be true for these celebs.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DrScience/ DrScience

    I concur with all of the above indeed even though all celebrities should retire right now.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/cgordon3/ cgordon3

    Who is Jeanene James ? Whomever she is why all the negativity….this one of the articles/lists that someone writes for lack of creativity….I openned it up out pure curiosity only…it is sad commentary on what black journalism has deteriorted too..I know we we need critics but is just pure fluff with no critreia ecxept that someones negative opinion..Some of the atrist criticized here don’t rate on my 10 best list either. They appear to be hard workin’ folks! Even Flav! who not to be taken seriously most of the time! maybe if, Jeanene James took more time without sound byte journalistic banter..Jeanene James could retire too! Its not ’bout whos on the list but what the hell why ??????….can you say Duh???

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ScottNaji2/ ScottNaji2

    1. Jeneane Your articles suck!!! I feel like a lot of the “Hello Beautiful” articles are written by very ugly, vain, immature 12 year old preteens idiots. What happened to real news? or even legitimate celebrity news.
    2. Shallow & simple minded as hell. The other ones “The Urban Daily” & “TVone” write much better stuff. Is this what really counts as worthy? Is this what black people actually want to read about?
    3.Trisha_369 very good points. It’s like the women who write these articles aren’t even trying. I’m gonna edit my page to stop getting email alerts about GARBAGE like this!!!!!! Hello Beautiful writes garbage! Sorry.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/cestleon/ cestleon

    look like you dont have anything better to do than to talk s++t about people who doing there thing,your life must sucks,did you make the kind of money they make,are you expose to the world like they are,if it wasnt for this and every little dumb ass article you wrote putting down your own people,no one would have hear anything about you,its a shame in the age of obana we still have uncle tom and aunt jemima(CHANGE YOUR NAME TO DUMB ASS WITH A SIMPLE MIND WHO IS THE ONE THAT REALLY REALLY NEED TO RETIRE TO OZARK MOUNTAIN LATRINE)

    The only comment you got right on this was Flavor Flav and even he desires the opportunity to earn a living. As for you, It is time for you to retire. Perhaps a visit from the sandman will be needed to get you off the stage and convey how much you suck!

    I agree with some of the others who find this article childish. If the author was attempting to be funny…newsflash..it wasn”t. At any rate, the internet means even people with below average intelligence and writing skills can find an outlet.

    Dont you have anything better to do with yout time than being mean spirited? Maybe you are just plain ole jealous. You should stop hating on those who are obviously in a better position than you and learn to love a lil bit. You are probably bitter becauase your not in the spotlight. ” Get A Life”!

    C’mon now fun is fun and I know that everyone entitled to their opinions so with that said I just wanna pose this question the writer. Who do you think needs to grow up and I’m not talking about your age either? Wait, don’t say a word because I wanna answer this question too. You the person who wrote this peice, Jeanene James, needs to up your game concerning your topics because hating is out of fashion nowadays. I thought you were talking about something you haven’t said nothing!!

    At least in my opinion.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/1highyellagirl/ 1highyellagirl

    How dare you talk about Mariah Carey you w***ebag!! When you become the best selling female artist of ALL time, then, you open your freebasin’ ass mouth and comment! Go tell your moms to retire them sour ass titties that she is draggin around everyday. Now that, would make me very happy. You are a destitute ass loser that has nothing else to do. Why don’t you ask any Mimi can you wipe her ass so that maybe you can have some validation in life. (oops, my bad, you are not even good enough for that)!! LOVE YOU MIMI!!! YOU ARE THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F**K THESE HATERZZZZZZZ!!

    Why is it that mostly all the people on your list or women? Why is it that there are so many old male entertainers out there that can barely walk or talk(thank God for Viagra) but no one says that they are too old. There are a few of male entertainers out there that I would like to ask hey its about time ain’t it? I say it should be left up to the fans. If they still got it let it rain baby! As for Flavor Fave I think Wanda Sikes said it best “Every time Flavor Fave steps in front of the camera it sets us(black people) back ten years (LMAO). Flavor why don’t you go and get yourself a nice white woman and just chill PLEASE!!!? And lets talk about Wanda Sykes. Lady I think you are great straight or gay but dam did you have to get a white woman like most of the black men out there with money. Not hating! I just won’t think of you as so black now. From now on you “creamy” LOL.

    OMG! I just looked up Jeanene James to see what she looked like to be talking about these people! OMG! She need to BE added to the list! How sad for her to talk about people looks! She and flav would make a good couple. If interested look up Jeanene James photo. I should paste and copy? What do you think? Should she be this rude? Stop hating JJ – Kelly Rowlands looks awesome by the way! I notice you didn’t add many men to the list. STOP HATING AND ADD SOME SEXY MEN TO YOUR LIST OF PEOPLE YOU HATING ON!

    Wow everyone below me is sooo serious! Ms. Jeanene if they didn’t like your article then why did they waste the time to read the whole thing and then some more to write mile-long commenst? Anyway, I just wanted 2 say I’m a Mariah fan. I was really feeling her last 3 albums and H.A.T.E.U. is one of my fav songs right now. MJB’s “The One” is kind of bangin too

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ejizzy/ ejizzy

    Ahanti, whatever
    Mariah, she should find a good producer and keep doing her thing, she still looks good too.
    Vivica, just find work where you can.
    Kelly, get a good publicist, you can sing good and look good but don’t have enough pub like Beyonce got Jay Z.
    Janet, needs to go back to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and she’ll be OK.
    Cassie, just needs voice lessons and a good producer.
    Lil Mama, uh, yeah whatever.
    Mary J, keep on forever she’s the sh!t.
    Lil Kim, yeah just retire because you can’t sing about sex any more because you’re not fine any more after all that surgery.

    Some of those stars are caught up trying to preserve their craft. They already did what they needed to do. And the young ones just can’t find a true niche. It’s not really their fault.

    Sometimes the base stupidity of the articles here makes my head explode.

    Nearly every person on this list is a FEMALE, with the exception of Flavor Flav, who was obviously added for comic relief. What kind of self-hating woman would sit down and write a piece of negative trash like this about other women??? Are you one of those insecure, inferiority-complex-having females who goes around saying stuff like, “I don’t have any women friends. I don’t like hanging around with a bunch of women.”, because you look at every other woman as a COMPETITOR for the attention of a man? Not only that, this piece reeks of the HYPOCRITICAL, because I BET that the author of this article would really get PISSED if someone suggested to her that she should bow out because of her age or some stupid s**t like that. My advice to you is GET A LIFE AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT MARIAH CAREY, WHO IS GETTING HERS EVERY DAY AND NIGHT, BABY! GO GET YOUR S**T CRACKING AND YOU WON’T BE WORRYING ABOUT WHAT OTHER WOMEN ARE DOING SO MUCH, B***H!

    That old adage about some things being better left unsaid applies here. Do me a favor and keep your ugly thoughts to yourself next time, please. Try to find something a little more positive and inspirational to talk about in the future. Try looking for the things that people are doing that you ENJOY and write about that. We are all going through hard times and don’t need to be reading this negative s**t all the time. I’m fed up with it. Seriously.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/toodelicious4u/ toodelicious4u

    Great list but they are missing people! Jay-Z! His time has been well over due! Than P. Diddy and Snoop Dogg are pretty much finished as well! Oh and lets not forget Denzel Washington, hate to bring it to you but your time is up too baby! I most def think that they should’ve excluded Ashanti, Kelly, and Cassie from the list because, they are still young and still have a chance to make it big. Lil Mama is young too but her s**t is just too whack lol!
