The Top 12 Signs Your Hollywood Career is Over
(Part I)


    1. Your new directorial assignment? "Saving Private Ryan II: The Musical."

    2. Announcement on back of Church Bulletin reads, "Saturday 9/26 - Annual Bazaar with special appearance by Sinbad."

    3. You learned to spell and divorced your cousin. (Oops! Those are signs your *DOLLYWOOD* career is over.)

    4. You net a "Has-Been Hat Trick": Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and Chips.

    5. "Direct to video?" Your last movie shipped "direct to landfill."

    6. The TeleTubbies now have your private table at Spago's and you've been moved near the kitchen, behind Joe Piscopo.

    7. The mob waiting for you to emerge from your hotel room consists of vice squad cops and paparazzi.

    8. You're now officially only one degree of separation from Pauley Shore.

    9. Despite your attempts to pass it off as a "product placement," everybody knows you simply had toilet paper stuck to your shoe throughout your last film.

    10. Let's just say that, of the Streisand-Brolin's, you're the one who can't sing.

    11. Despite the success of your "Naked Gun" films, the only script you've been sent recently was, "I Know What You Did To Ron & Nicole."

      and the Number 1 Sign Your Hollywood Career is Over...

    12. Your agent can't decide whether to promote you as "The next Lou Ferrigno" or "A thinking man's Urkel."
