Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Step1
Break the law, but gently. They say there's no such thing as bad press.
Well, it's mostly true. I don't think Boy George was elated when news
leaked about him picking up garbage as part of his community service.
Other than that, even a minor legal infraction can be good enough to
get E! Entertainment calling.
Step2
Reality show 101. No matter how far you fall off the celebrity
radar, reality television is there to help. You might have to lose
weight - fast - or eat gross objects, but chances are a slot on one
show or another awaits you.
Step3
Date weird. You're 46 and haven't had a gig in a decade? Date a
62-year-old. That will get the press's attention. The rest, as they
say, is up to you.
Step4
Write your way back. This may be the craziest notion, but a
has-been could always crawl back to the top by either writing a great
new song or penning a terrific part for himself to play. The vast
majority of the public may not be eager for your comeback, but there's
always someone willing to take a chance.
