How to Last in Hollywood:

Fame is not guaranteed. You must be a work in progress or a work in distress to be worthy of gossip fodder. So you may have been featured in a few popular movies or music videos but where are you now? If you are celebrity on the verge of becoming washed up you should look at some of the ideas below on how to stay in Hollywood and in the tabloids.

Get surgery- surgery is a great way to spend leisure time in Hollywood and tweaks your appearance so that you look fresher. Just ask Heidi Montag. Heidi Montag has not been in any major works since MTV's reality series, The Hills but she gets full features in magazines because of her attraction to plastic surgery. Some of the most popular types of surgeries to get in Hollywood are nose surgeries, breast and butt implants. Liposuction won't hurt either. Well, it might hurt but it may boost your popularity.

Get breast implants- Increasing you breast size will make you stand out more than you did before. Guys will notice you more than before and girls will become more jealous of you. You might even get a call from Hugh Hefner.

Dye or cut your hair- For many celebrities their hair defines them so if you really want everyone talking change your image by changing your hairstyle, or color.

Make a sex tape- Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Chelsea Handler and now Kendra Wilkinson have all "accidentally" released sex tapes. The releasing of sex tapes is more of a publicity ploy in Hollywood to keep fading celebrities in the tabloids. If you want to keep your name out there think about starring in one of these productions even if it is faked.

Release nude pictures of yourself- If making a sex tape is too risqué and overwhelming for you consider snapping some nude photos of yourself and accidentally leaking them. Pete Wentz, Rihanna, and Jessican Hudgens are no strangers to leaked nude photos. The great thing about nude photos is that the hype around them only lasts for about two weeks or so and then everyone forgets about the impact, but you will always be linked with those nude photos.

Negotiate to hook up with one of the hottest women or men. There have been many surprising hook ups in Hollywood that have only lasted a few months. These hook ups looked more like stunts than actual relationships. Look for one of the most talked about celebrities and have your people contact their people and enjoy deceiving the public to boost your image.

Get hitched at last minute. Surprise everyone with a random wedding. Wing it for about 3 months and then annul it. You don't even have to make a public statement as to why you divorced; keep everyone wondering and you will stay in the headlines for sometime.

Threaten the paparazzi as Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, and Russell Crowe have. Face it without the paparazzi your face would not be on the cover of us weekly, star, or even TMZ. Why not pretend to threaten them? This will surely get you in the headlines for sometime. Just remember not to touch the paparazzi or their equipment or you might be slammed with a lawsuit.

Say something something culturally insensitive- John Mayer has done it the Twilight guy Robert Pattinson has done it. Actually, you might want to think twice about doing something like this if you truly care about your fan base.

Pretend to like the latest sensation. Jump on the bandwagon and show your support for a particular celebrity, fashion, song, or dance and you will gain a new addition to your current fan base.

Stay off of shows like Celebrity Rehab, Surreal life, and celebrity fit club, these shows just seal the fact that you are washed up. Being on shows like these should be a last resort and no one will take you seriously after you have been on them.

Take pictures of outings with you and your family and sell them to magazines. Americans are suckers for family time and if your family is pretty looking you just might get some recognition thrown you way.

Tip the Paparazzi off. Let the Paparazzi know where you will be and when you will be there so that they can randomly catch you exiting a vehicle or building. If you have not had camera time in awhile they just might place your photos in the magazines or on their websites. This is a desperate move but it might put you in the spotlight.

Party and dine where the cameras are. Start partying and eating at some of the hottest clubs and eateries in Hollywood such as; Beso, Katsuya, Mr. Chow, The Ivy and Luna Park.
