As people get older, their priorities change. It’s part of growing up, whether you’re an average person or a celebrity. But it’s hard to let go of some of your favorites…here are six celebrities who kind of suck now that you may have forgotten how awesome they were.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold is among many iconic celebrities of yesteryear who have become nothing more than a caricature of themselves (*cough* Christopher Walken *cough*). Mr. Muscle emerged to supremacy as THE action hero of the 1980s. And with classics like The Terminator, Total Recall and The Running Man, Arnold was a bonafide badass for much of his career. And even before he was a movie badass, he was the coolest mf’er in the room and a beacon of unintentional comedy, like in the documentary Pumping Iron.

Sadly, it was somewhere around the time that Jingle All The Way came out that Arnold began to backslide into the B-list of celebrity (and his portrayal of Mr. Freeze in Batman & Robin sealed the deal). Now the governator of Cal-i-forn-ia, Arnold is one sex tape away from signing on to star in the next season of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

Joan Rivers

That’s right, Joan Rivers. Fifty years and seven facelifts ago, Ms. Rivers (who started as a stand-up comedian) was actually a welcomed addition to the television screen and perhaps surprisingly hot. In fact, Joan Rivers is considered one of the seminal female comedians of the 20th century. In her heyday, she was brash, direct, edgy – in essence, completely different from the stereotypical “safe” stand-up comedians that had gained a mainstream audience in the past.

Citing Lenny Bruce as a major influence, Joan sat in good company with such legendary stand-ups as Phyllis Diller and George Carlin. Thanks to numerous appearances on the Tonight Show With Johnny Carson (which she guest hosted from 1983 to 1986), some would argue that Joan Rivers paved the way for such modern comedians as Sarah Silverman and Margaret Cho.

Gary Busey

Would you believe Gary Busey has been nominated for a Best Actor Award by the Academy Awards? No, it wasn’t for his spot-on performance in Slap Shot 2: Breaking the Ice (starring Stephen Baldwin) – it was for his 1978 portrayal of Buddy Holly in The Buddy Holly Story. Throw in roles in Barbarosa, Lethal Weapon and, of course, Point Break, and Gary Busey had a pretty decent career on his hands.

Unfortunately, it seems drugs have left Busey with a few screws loose. Numerous candid moments and personal interviews have revealed an enigma of a man who is either incredibly deranged, or the contemporary modern prophet of our time. As an example, I’ll leave you with this Busey quote:

“… your shadow, the dark side. C.G. Hume writes about it, in terms of the fact that every one of us has a dark side. And my dark side, my shadow, my lower companion is now in the back room blowing up balloons for kids’ parties.”

Tom Cruise

Oh, Lord Xenu, you vile villain. You may have “saved” Tom Cruise’s soul with the religion of Scientology, but in the process you have royally screwed his street cred. In the 80s, Cruise rose to fame thanks to blockbusters like Top Gun and Rain Man. And through the new millennium, every woman wanted to bone him and every dude wanted to be him. Except for Val Kilmer, who seemed to want a bit of both in the famous volleyball scene from Top Gun.

But ever since Mr. Cruise parted ways with Nicole Kidman, his celebrity star has fallen dramatically. Most of this can be chalked up to his odd behavior surrounding his whirlwind “romance” with Katie Holmes – all of which culminated on his awkward appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show. With the curtain pulled back, Cruise was revealed for the weirdo that he is, and though still a major Hollywood player, no one wants to either be or bone that dude anymore. Well, other than alien souls stuck wandering the Earth.

Ozzy Osbourne

Are you noticing a theme here? As soon as we get a peak into a celebrity’s personal life, the magical spell is broken and the true lame-ness is allowed to shine in. Such is the case with Ozzy Osbourne, who once made a living biting the heads off of bats and pretty much inventing the whole heavy metal music genre.

But then, you give one rock star a reality TV show, and suddenly he’s not a rock God at all. He’s just an old man who shuffles around his house all day petting puppies and eating Chipotle burritos. Those aren’t things that a badass celebrity does. Those are things MY DAD does. Thanks a lot, MTV, for ruining my image of one of the greatest rock icons of all time.

Michael Jackson

Guys, I know the wound is still fresh, but come on – Michael Jackson was one f’d up dude. Yes, he was uber talented. Yes, he is one of the greatest pop singers of all time. And yes, the dude could moonwalk like a motherf’er. But seriously, you can’t honestly tell me that Michael Jackson died as a badass A-list celebrity.

We’re talking surgical masks, skin bleaching, ridiculous plastic surgery…allegations of child abuse! Whether you believe the rumors or not, the fact is that the King of Pop’s terrible upbringing and the pressures of fame eventually imploded upon him. And yet, despite all his flaws, the majority of the world is willing to look past it all. This, more than anything, should be a testament to how freaking epic Michael’s talents truly are. Because, though he died a shattered shell of himself, we still remember him for healing the world with songs like Thriller and Billy Jean. Well done, Wacko Jacko.
