Today in celebrity mishandlings of proffered fame: A star singer who can't afford a car, and a sad brother who will wait, forever, for that apocryphal fan to come along for an autograph. He's still waiting.

1. "We thought that this former singing star made a small fortune during their time on the charts in the 1990s. After all, every time you see them out on the town, they are behind the wheel of a different late model luxury car. It turns out that none of the cars actually belong to them. After having a couple of cars "reclaimed" by a heartless bank, they are now forced to use their local rental car agency. Guess they didn't put away some money for a rainy day." [Blind Gossip]

2. "What grieving brother is carrying at least two pens and a stack of headshots to sign for fans when they approach him? His only problem is that despite him probably being the best known brother no one is coming up to him asking for his autograph or headshot. He is ready though." [CDaN]
