10. Ariana Grande
There are two ways Ariana Grande’s career can play out. One way is going the route of Jennifer Lopez by mixing music with acting, modeling and making appearances as herself on shows like American Idol. The other entails a short time in the limelight, and fervently trying to stay relevant as the public grows tired of her.
Back in the day, she’d just have to appear in Playboy to breathe a little life into her career like Debbie Gibson or Jody Watley. While she did become of legal age while Playboy was still doing full frontal nudity in the pages of the magazine, it was just a matter of bad timing.
When Debbie Gibson was tearing up the charts as an 18-year-old, it didn’t make any sense for her to pose for Playboy. The magazine asked another five times until, at age 35, she finally said yes. If Playboy was still showing the good parts, we might secretly hope for Grande to be in that second category of stars who needed to pose to stay in the spotlight.
