Nothing like an appearance on "Celebrity Justice" to try and jumpstart your career.

oo! it's pinky tuscadero all over again.

i guess when you get all that attention, particularly when you're so young, and then lose it, it makes you go crazy. i dunno what it is.

it's like, when you're really young the way the world is at that moment is the way you figure it always has been and always will be, because you're not old enough to have learned yet about the way things can change. so when they do you freak, cuz you think you have a born right to be a big star for your whole life. know what i mean?

Of course, his former celebrity might have nothing to do with it.  He could just be your ordinary everday azzwhole. 
I mean, how many guys get busted for beating up their girlfriends on any given day?  How many of them are former child stars?

aside from the obvious example i could cite, several child actors have grown up to be okay, at least on the surface. that chick from small wonder -- totally well-adjusted fine christian woman. of course, maybe it was because her show totally sucked so she never had a chance for it to go to her head.

Saying Small Wonder sucked is like calling Paris Hilton a "loose woman".  Some stuff is just too obvious.  What I loved most about that show was when it was obvious Vicky was no longer in robot-mode, and she'd start talking normally and you'd see everyone kinda looking around like "WTF?" and she's just going on and on and on.

true. when i say "sucks" i mean "unholy demonic spawn clearly wrought by satan." which might explain her religious conversion. although from your description i kinda wanna see an episode now. that sounds hilarious.

i have something like small wonder on my netflix queue because i want to see a particular episode where one of the beegees is a guest star. maybe i should see if it's small wonder and if it is, bump it.

hey! what about that runt from silver spoons? i wonder what rehab clinic he's in.

looks like maybe religious conversion or drug-addled crime spree are your only two options as ex-child star. ever notice how often The Great One is seen wearing huge-ass crosses around her neck?

ima bump punky. a beegee on punky brewster sounds like it could be a golden moment in television.

I don't think Paris knows what the word "celibate" means.  She could look it up in the dictionary...if she knew how to look words up in the dictionary!

I used to watch Small Wonder,  the kid who played her brother was annoying. (He was annoying on other things too if I recall.)  Punky Brewster is awesome.  As for Brian, the cuter than were-the harder they fall.

Today is the day to eat a fabulous new soup.

Buy my book!

It seems, lately, that more and more and more celebrities are getting arrested, with their mug shots splashed all over the papers. Celebrities getting arrested? What is this, End Times? There are plenty more that you haven't even seen, though. I only had time to find five, though.
David Hasselhoff, for impersonating an officer. Stay off drugs, or your eyes will end up like that, too.

This is the kid from "Small Wonder." Not doing so well now that he doesn't have a robot sister to help him out. Arrested for extortion."

okay, i got the facts sorta right.

"On November 29 1999, she was arrested for firing a 12-gauge shotgun into the living room window of a neighbor's house after a car alarm woke her up; she also shot the neighbor's car and another car nearby. The neighbor was not home at the time. She pleaded no contest to the charge of firing into the house and was sentenced to three years' felony probation on October 20 2000. Roz Kelly was also ordered to receive psychiatric counseling and pay restitution as ordered by the probation department."
