Correct, but I think that was too easy. He didn't change much. Try this one. Just a bit harder:
El Debarge : What happened to him.Here's another heartthrob from days gone by. Two photos here, since showing only one is not fair:
In 2001 he was arrested for cocaine possession and was given probation. In 2006 he was arrested again for possession of a controlled substance and was once again given probation. In 2007 he was arrested in a domestic dispute and was held without bail. The charges were later dropped. Later that year he was arrested yet again and charged with cocaine possession and given probation again. However, he was once again arrested in 2008 for possession of crack and drug paraphernalia, breaking the terms of his probation. For this violation he was immediately sentenced to two years in federal prison in California.
El has had a history of drug abuse. He stated that his addiction started after he began receiving prescription medication for migraines. Up until then, El DeBarge had been seen as reliable especially in comparison to his siblings, whose accounts of drug abuse started during the tenure of the group. By the mid-1990s, El had become addicted and his addiction resulted in his career faltering after its peaks in the 1980s. Following a prison sentence in which he served two years, El declared himself born again and announced that he had found sobriety after an addiction that he said had lasted nearly 25 years also stating he had also acknowledged his problems with the law in the past.
However in February 2011, while promoting Second Chance, DeBarge's label announced that the singer was canceling all public dates and appearances as he went back to rehab following a relapse.[4] DeBarge has since returned to work and made an appearance at the 54th Grammy Awards in February 2012. He had failed to appear at the previous Grammy Awards due to his drug relapse.
After seeing Tina Louise there, I went to IMDB to check out where some of the other actors were. Most of them are dead, in fact. But Dawn Wells (Mary Ann) is still going strong! She's performed in over 100 theater productions in her lifetime and still doing them. That's a lot!
Here's an interesting blurb from her bio on IMDB:
It has long been stated that the entire cast of Gilligan's Island never received residuals beyond the first four reruns of each episode. This was true for the entire cast except Dawn Wells. When the show was picked up by CBS and Dawn was cast to replace Nancy McCarthy, she was married to her agent at the time. In her original contract she was to be paid $1200 per week plus the residual contract the 6 other castaways received. Her husband/agent said that should the show become successful Dawn would not benefit from receiving such a limited residual option. Believing the show would flop, the CBS executives humored Dawn and her husband and put a clause in her contract giving her long-term residuals should the show ever syndicate. As a result from that clause Dawn has made literally millions of dollars as the years have gone by from syndication of Gilligan's Island. This was never public knowledge. Dawn and series creator Sherwood Schwartz are the only individuals to profit long-term from the series.

This one shouldn't be too hard:
I saw this on TMZ last year..... its Yoda without the stage make up.
Cheers!
Here's a hint. He stated that he never had sex with the singer who was recently found to be gay.
Oh gees. I thought that was the most recent photo of Pat Benatar. She's 10 years older than that now?
