Big-Time Celebrities Who Don't Get Hired Anymore

Cee-Lo Green

Cee-Lo Green became an extremely popular name after his pop hit “F*** You" flooded radio stations. He had previously gained fame under the moniker Gnarles Barkley (alongside producer Danger Mouse) but decided to drop the act. He got really popular and stayed relevant, even landing a seat as a judge on The Voice. He seemed like a nice guy yet a little stern at times, but that was far from the truth. 

A Twitter No-No

Cee-Lo ended up sending out a homophobic Tweet in 2011 to a record producer who critiqued a song of his. He lost his seat on The Voice and eventually ran into some trouble with the law. He's taken a back seat in the music world but is still trying his best to become relevant once again.
