They say in life there is no second act, but don't tell that to celebrities who've had recent career resurgeances. Mariah Carey was the butt of many jokes in 2001 after her very public meltdown and the bomb heard 'round the world... otherwise known as 'Glitter.' But this year, thanks to her current album, 'The Emancipation of Mimi,' and several hit singles, she's having some of the greatest success of her career, including eight Grammy nominations.
Other entertainers who've resurrected their dead or dying careers include:
Paula Abdul As a singer, she hasn't had a hit on the charts in more than 10 years. But Abdul became a household name again as a judge on 'American Idol,' where she's known just as much for her effusive praise of contestants as her on-camera spats with fellow judge Simon Cowell (and sometimes incoherent ramblings).
Teri Hatcher She was stuck in obscure TV movies and doing embarrassing Radio Shack commercials after her 'Lois & Clark: The New Adventure of Superman' TV series was cancelled in 1997. Then came 'Desperate Housewives' last year, followed by a slew of awards and an ubiquitous media presence that has arguably reached overexposure.
