8. Britney Spears
Britney Spears’ career started when she was young. As a teenager, her first studio album, …Baby One More Time, became the best-selling album by a teenage solo artist. She influenced the revival of teen pop during the late ’90s, and has since sold over 100 million albums worldwide. In 2012, Forbesreported that she was the highest paid female musician of the year, with earnings of $58 million.
Britney is the voice of a (now mid-20s) generation, and people growing up in the ‘90s still look up to her today, despite her continued struggles in her personal life. She’s been in and out of drug rehabs, shaved her head, and has hit rock bottom and bounced back, time and time again. This picture is an example of the dark times in Britney’s illustrious life.
7. Lindsay Lohan
Another child star gone famously awry, Lindsay Lohan began her career when she was just three, as a child fashion model. At 11, she starred in the Disney movie The Parent Trap , which shot her to fame. After four consecutive commercial successes in film, Lohan became a teen sensation.
But that kind of fame weighs heavy on a young soul, and Lohan was no different. In 2007, she had two DUIs and three rehab visits, causing the loss of several movie deals. Between 2010 and 2013, she went into rehab three more times, and was entwined in numerous probation violations and misdemeanors. Her career is still somewhat active, but it will always be marred by her past, which personifies the phrase “dazed and confused”, and this picture epitomizes that perfectly.
