Here were their devastating responses: Warning: Mentions of child abuse, assault, domestic violence, and murder. 1."Nelsan Ellis aka Lafayette from True Blood. That show was huge at the time, and somehow after it ended, I didn't really see him in anything else. I think he did a great job with that character for its time, and I've wanted to see more of him in other roles before his untimely death at apparently only 39. I'm not sure what else he was struggling with (only read about alcohol) or if he had any other medical history, but his passing was really sudden to me."

From Kim Kardashian to Jerry Seinfeld, here are the 18 stars who've capitalized on their renown enough to rank among the world's wealthiest people. Fame and fortune often come hand in hand. But although many celebrities are wealthy, it's rare for their net worths to stretch all the way to ten figures. Forbes estimates that less than two dozen people on the planet have accomplished that feat. Most obtained their celebrity billionaire status in the last decade. The economics of their industries have been shifting: Sports has seen massive spikes in salaries and the values of endorsement deals, and athletes are building companies now more than ever, helping stars like NBA great LeBron James add a third comma to their fortunes.

After a surprisingly triumphant civilian series, strangely, the celebrity version didn't manage to capture the same magic. Louis was unashamedly destructive , a bigger bitch than anyone could have imagined, spilling so much tea it's a wonder PG Tips didn't experience a drought. He was uncomfortable to watch and a year on is everything that series Celebrity Big Brother will be remembered for. What last year's series really missed, and what so often gets overlooked, is a hero. Too often producers get lured in by wanting to create a house full of drama they forget to give us anyone to root for. David Pot...
