Knowing that fame is short-lived and you should strike while the iron is hot, many celebrities join various business ventures to make some extra money and, maybe, even succeed in new career.

some do manage to turn side projects into really successful business (like Eva Longoria and her Beso restaurant chain, or Kim Kardashian and Dash magazines, there are many other successful projects out there), while other epically fail.

what are celebrities' most unsuccessful side projects?

Gene Simmons and KISS Kaskets

Paris Hilton is the queen of business ventures -she has her perfume, shoes, everything but her love of hair extensions is about to cost her some $35 million. Paris had signed up to promote a range of hair extensions as part of a marketing campaign in 2007 for Hairtech International. The company reportedly paid her some $3.5 million to be the face of their Dream Catchers range of clip-in locks.
Hightech bosses were furious when she allegedly appeared in "magazines and on television" wearing hair extensions made by a rival competitor.

in Nov. 2010 Paris coutersued the company demanding $3 million + punitive damages. in her lawsuit she claimed she signed the multi-million dollar deal and was honorable in keeping her end of the deal.
