7. Ryan Seacrest
8. Carson Daly

Jered from Subway is still big! I see him on talkshows all the time and he appeared in Morgan Spurlock's Supersize Me.

I thought the show was mainly in Englans,with a 2 year special run in the US.I trhought her comments to the contestants were funny and well deserved---one contestant said Noah removed his hair before going on the ark,and Anne said she didn't know he wore a toupee.Contestants did give the silliest answers when under pressure.I think the multitude of celebrity charity games diluted the show's popularity,although the "Star Trek" version was cool--they passed a million dollars,I believe.Cheers!

He also appeared in commercials for Micromachines during the late 80's, which I remember. (I even remember the tag line: "If it doesn't say Micromachines, it's not the real thing!") In addition, he made a guest appearance on one early episode of "Saved By The Bell" as a fast-talking history teacher.

I've noticed that Britney and Christina are not cool anymore, certainly nowhere near like in 1999 or 2000 anyways.  I get a kick out of seeing 23 and 24 year olds looking so outdated because they are still holding onto Britney and Christina because they were "the in thing" back in '99 and '00 when they were around 18 or 19.  That's how I felt around that age back then when I would bring up Pearl Jam and look terribly outdated.  Hahaha, no one can stay in the youth culture forever, or you just become a 20 something masquerading as a teenager.

Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar still had some star power in 2000, but I don't hear about them anymore.  Some of those American Pie movie stars are sorta yesterdays news.  Ashton Kutcher is fast becoming a Scott Baio like has been.

i wouldn't say christina aguilera isn't popular anymore, she can still get big radio hits, and she's selling more albums than Britney(ok, tons of people are). Britney is kinda like Paris Hilton and Madonna...we all hear about her all the time, and its like why? Like what has she really done since 2000...shes had like 1 top 10 hit...nobody can tell you the lyrics to her songs...her album sales seem to halve with every new album...but the media covers her more? Paris hilton is the richest person we've seen having sex...since then shes done...uh...yea...lemme think....nothing excpet for that "series" that consists of 2 episodes per season..

Britney Spears is yesterdays news.  And let me tell you, I LOVE IT!!!  ;D 

Those of us who were pushed out of the way by the Britney movement in 1999-2000 get to have our revenge and watch the kids who loved her 5-6 years ago get older and give up the youth culture to the new kids around today.

Like a poster above said though, Britney will probably always be famous like Madonna and Michael Jackson.  But Britney is "so 1999".

I Can't believe 1999 is now "so 1999". But it's amazing how 99% of the fashion has been the same, for 8-10 years now.

I don't even SEE what Britney's fans ever saw in her...of course they were too young and innocent and naive to appreciate music and entertainers that aren't FADS and have actual TALENT...

Atleast a certain '80's teen queen actually had talent along with George Micheal, New Edition, & The Jets... (Some may not be talented, but atleast had better songs)

Yeah Gordon was popular in the mid to late 90's I would say from about 1996-1999 Gordon was a pretty popular sports figure. Than guys like Tony Stewart, Jimmy Johnson, Dale Jr. and Matt Kenseth came into the sport and Gordon's star popularity kind of leveled off if you will.

Uh Madonna had a pretty good run in the 80's and 90's so I wouldn't really list Madonna along with Paris Hilton or Britney. Madonna had longevity, where as Britney and Paris Hilton really have no longevity in their respective careers.

Yeah I remember all those commercials. They had celebrities like John Stamos, and Aylissa Milano doing those commercials. Those commercials were actually good. Todays commercials is so "in your face" forget it. I can't stand todays Geico commercials. They are just unbearable to watch.

I can;t believe anybody didn't mention Ricky Martin. What about Latin Singer Shakira? R&B singer Craig David had a few hits and we haven't heard from him in a while. Whatever happened to Limp Bizkit?

Thats weird that Britney, Backstreet, and N'Sync faded and a singer like Jessica Simpson hasn't faded into the sunset yet.

As for Jessica Simpson, I admit I wouldn't mind if she stuck around.  She seems nice enough(ok, she's a guilty pleasure).  But the slutty ones can go fool around with Madonna now, for all I care.

Nelly Furtado released an CD earlier last year, the reason why she hasn't been around is that she recently gave birth to  a baby girl, as for Vitiman C and Eve's Plum, your guess is good as mine.
