23 Celebrities You Thought Were Dead

No these 23 celebrities aren't dead, though you probably thought they were. From teen heart-throbs to Academy Award Winners, these stars just haven't been doing much lately. Check out our slideshow below to find out who they are! 1. Pauly Shore Remember this guy? It’s been a while since we’ve seen Pauly Shore, and even longer since the comedien has starred in anything remotely well-known. Okay, maybe that’s an overstatement for Encino Man, Son-in-Law, and Bio-Dome, but you get the idea. 2. Amanda Bynes Seriously, what the heck happened to Amanda Bynes? She hasn’t appeared on any screen since 2010. She announced that she was retiring from acting back in 2012. She’s been dealing with some pretty serious personal problems for a while. 3. David Schwimmer Nothing can compare to David Schwimmer’s role as Ross on Friends, but we’re pretty bummed he hasn’t done much since then. He is, however, set to appear on a new series in 2016. 4. Alexis Bledel The Gilmore Girls star resurfaced for a reunion this summer, but otherwise, it seems like Alexis Bledel has been pretty dormant. She did make a few appearances as a not-so-Rory-like character on Mad Men, but we hoped she’d do so much more after Gilmore Girls ended. 5. Bridget Fonda Bridget Fonda has disappeared, but she’s still very much alive. The actress, known for her roles in The Godfather Part III, Single White Female, and Jackie Brown, hasn’t appeared on our screens in over 10 years. 6. Dave Chappelle Where have you been, Dave Chappelle? Though he returned to stand-up a couple of years ago, he seems to have fallen offf the map ever since he left Chappelle’s Show. View Slideshow

Will Ferrell Injured in Million-Dollar Soccer Match of the Stars

With $6.4 million at stake for UNICEF, some of the world’s best footballers faced off in England over the weekend with some of the sport’s most enthusiastic celebrity hobbyists. The good news: Charity won big! The bad news: Celebrities did not, with one even landing in the hospital. The annual Soccer Aid benefit packed Old Trafford, the home of the Manchester United, where the team from England beat the “Rest of the World” team — comprising the likes of Will Ferrell, Edward Norton, Mike Myers, Gerard Butler, James McAvoy, Woody Harrelson and shouty TV chef Gordon Ramsay — by a score of 3-1. And since no soccer tilt would ever be complete without some poor bastard writhing on the pitch in hyperdramatic anguish, this match was no different — at least until, in the second half, things got really ugly : Ferrell limped off the field in considerable pain with a leg injury late in Sunday’s annual Soccer Aid game at Manchester United’s Old Trafford but will have counted himself more fortunate than Ramsay, who earlier was hospitalized following a heavy challenge. The foul-mouthed Hell’s Kitchen star was stretchered off the field while receiving oxygen, after being flattened by former England international Teddy Sheringham midway through the second half. He later was released from the hospital. Let us relive the moment in pictures! Observe Ferrell above right, shortly before he wound up on the turf with a leg injury that ended his day: So were any actors not hurt during this very intense exhibition match? Surprisingly many, if the rest of the photo record is to be believed! Nevertheless, Edward Norton and Woody Harrelson took every fluorescent precaution available to them… …while Mike Myers competed with swanlike finesse and grace… …along with flying Scotsmen Gerard Butler and James McAvoy (as seen alongside teammate Harrelson)… Here’s to a swift recovery for Ferrell, Ramsay and all the rest convalescing after the match. Charity hurts. [Photos: Getty Images]

Mike Myers, KFC Portraitist

Hey, Mike Myers! You haven’t toplined a film since the 2008 bomb The Love Guru . What have you been up to since? “Right now, I’m kind of obsessed with Col. Sanders,” says Myers, who has produced over 15 oil paintings of the Kentucky Fried Chicken founder. “There’s no chicken in the paintings. It’s just not a subject that usually has serious portraiture applied to it. Now, he’s just a two-dimensional person, and it just tickled me to paint him.” [ LAT ]
