Celebrities, for the most part, stand the test of time. Once they become stars, they remain stars until the day they die and even beyond. But there is another type of celebrity. This kind is known as the “fleeting celebrity”. They are said to have their “15 minutes of fame”, which was a phrase coined by the late Andy Warhol. Our culture has seen a number of these 15 minute wonders. We’re going to take a look at just a few of them here.

Why don’t we start off with two for the price of one? Remember quite a few years ago when a 16 year old girl by the name of Amy Fisher had an affair with a guy by the name of Joey Buttafuco? Amy ended up shooting the guy’s wife in the head and ended up going to prison for 6 years. Today, nobody gives her or Joey a second thought.

Then of course there was Monica Lewinsky who had *** with President Bill Clinton. Of course Clinton’s celebrity status has not diminished since, but Lewinsky has so fallen off the radar map that today nobody even knows where this woman is or what she’s doing.

Then there was the big scandal in the late 80s involving Jim Bakker, who began the Praise The Lord Ministry in Fort Hill, South Carolina in 1974. A big *** scandal and some shady business dealings involving the PTL landed Bakker in prison for 45 years. Most people today don’t even give him a second thought.

In the world of music, a guy by the name of Carl Douglas gave us the totally ridiculous song “Kung Fu Fighting”. While Douglas may have been yesterday’s news after that song mercifully fell off the charts, the song itself has been in more Kung Fu movies than you can possibly imagine.

And then of course there was the novelty song of the 90s, “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred. These bald headed brothers probably grew hair after this total embarrassment of a song. Neither one of them has been heard from since and the song only gets played as a parody.

Thousands if the world’s sexiest women have tattoos? Tattoos have been showing up everywhere…on movie stars, super models, sports stars, rock stars, as well as thousands of the world’s sexiest women.

Daisy Parker asked:


In the space of only a few years, Leda Fox has gone from being a frumpy, dumpy housewife to an internationally acclaimed self-help guru, appealing largely to middle-aged women who find themselves disillusioned with life and want to “turn back time and have another go!” Her personal transformation has inspired many and she travels and lectures extensively promoting her message of “change” and “resurrection”. Her e-book “The Butterfly Plan” is breaking online sales records.

Leda Fox

Home:

 Somewhere in the rainforest of Queensland, Australia, although she often calls New York her spiritual home.

Family:

 Leda is married (2nd marriage) and has five children ranging in age from 4 to 22 years.

Favourite colour:

 Purple.

Turning point in her life:

Leda hit rock bottom after the birth of her last child when she suffered from post-natal depression. She had put on a lot of weight and realised that she had a drinking problem which compounded all her problems. She was broke and her marriage and family life were under strain. She came up with “The Butterfly Plan”- a forty day “time in the desert, under the Bohdi tree, in the Ark” and in that short time she was able to realise how important “balance” was to get herself back on track. She lost the weight, the depression and the addictions and reinvented herself as “the purple guru”.

 

Favourite movie:

“Witches of Eastwick”

Favourite song:

Nessun Dorma 

Inspirational heroes:

“Mother Theresa for her humility and compassion.

Oprah Winfrey for her generosity and vision.

Angelina Jolie for her relentless puruit of motherhood!

Queen Elizabeth 1 for kicking ****!

My family for putting up with me.

Son Toby for his sense of humour. 

Rosa Parks for her strength.”

 

Most beneficial change one can make to one’s life:

Leda often says that the most important thing is to “Realise that you are “making up” your own life as you go along. If you don’t like the script, change it!”

 

Greatest achievement:

 Finding true love.

Greatest regret:

“Like Edith Piaf, I have no regrets.”

Most overated thing in the world:

“Schools and Universities!”

Three wishes:

“To see my children live deeply fulfilling lives.

To still be having *** with my husband at the age of 120.

To see humankind take off their blinkers and “get it”….most of this world lives in a crazy haze of fultility.”

Favourite food:

A really good, spicy chickpea curry.

Unlikely hobby:

Collecting ‘Catholic’ paraphernalia. “I was brought up by the Sisters of Mercy and although I am not a practicing Catholic, the incense and sombre ritual and daunting statues have haunted me into adulthood. My dining room is a shrine to that part of my history. The kitchen is Buddhist. The living room is a tribal jungle and my bedroom is full of Elizabethan pomp!”

Fears:

“I don’t believe in them. Pointless and dangerous.”

If you had to swap places with someone for one day, who would it be?

“God! No, really – a newborn baby. That would be a really interesting perspective.”

Best moment:

“Climbing to the top of Mount Everest. (It was a dream but it felt so real!)”

Worst moment:

“The day before I began my personal 40 day Butterfly Plan. I felt that I was worthless and that I had let myself and everyone around me, down, by being such a waste of space.”

 Goals for the future:

“I am currently working on The Butterfly Plan for Children. I have a screenplay that is itching to get onto the screen. I’m looking at an Academy Award and after I finish having lots of fun, I might hang up the purple wig and run for Prime Minister of Australia.”
