She went from movie star to ... shoe saleswoman.
"Hairspray" star and Golden Globe nominee Nikki Blonsky has returned to her hometown to take a summer job at a shoe store in Great Neck, N.Y., People.com reports.
Boutique owner Steven Dann told the mag that Blonsky, 22, works at his store two or three days a week "as a fun thing for the summer."
"She decided to try the gig for the fun of it," her rep added. "And to support a longtime friend's local business."
But the big picture might be a little more bleak. Blonsky's ABC Family series, "Huge," was canceled, and her romantic comedy "Waiting for Forever" was not a hit with critics.

Oh, btw, M.C.Hammer now does beer commercials in South Africa. Ordained minister indeed.
Is that a slobber stain and Charlie Sheens gray shirt?
Yeah, anyone can be famous. Then, later, he/she is back to harsh reality.
