We tend to assume that celebrities have always been rich and famous (they were born that way, right?).

But no, a few stars weren't always as glamorous as they are today. In fact, most of Hollywood's elite worked normal jobs, just like the rest of us, at some stage. 

Here, SHEmazing! rounds up our favourite 'before they were famous' gigs (and just wait until you see where Madonna worked…):

 

Brad Pitt

Brad worked in a fast food restaurant before he hit the big time. But it gets worse, he had to dance around in a chicken suit daily. Ouch.

 

Kim Kardashian

Before she shot to fame with Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim used to clear out celebrities wardrobes and sell all of the unwanted clothes on eBay for her clients. She even worked as Paris Hilton's personal assistant for a while. 

 

Johnny Depp

Mr. Depp sold pens by phone as a living before he pursued his dreams of becoming an actor. 

 

Rod Stewart

Before he became a music legend, Rod Stewart worked as a grave digger. We're sure that was kind of scary!

 

Madonna

Queen Madge used to work at Dunkin' Donuts in New York's Time Square back in the day. She reportedly got fired for squirting jam all over a customer!

 

Gerard Butler

Before he became a movie hunk, Gerard had his heart set on becoming a lawyer. We think we prefer him acting though!

 

Sandra Bullock

Before winning Oscars and floating around in on-screen space, Sandra worked as a waitress and bartender in New York in the 1980s.

 

Jon Bon Jovi

The rocker used to help his cousin in a school where he was a janitor. While he worked he recorded his music which eventually led to his stardom. 

 

Rachel McAdams

Rachel used to work in McDonalds before she became a hot shot actress. The beauty stuck three whole years working there before she quit. 

 

Harrison Ford

Before he became Mr Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford worked as a carpenter in LA. 

 

Jennifer Aniston

The Friends beauty used to work as a telemarketer during the day and a waitress at night to pay for acting classes. And we're so glad she did. 

 

Hugh Grant

Hugh studied art history before he shot to fame. He abandoned his doctorate degree so he could pursue his dreams of acting. Bold move, Hugh, bold move.

It seems that over the last number of months those little yellow guys with glasses have been everywhere.

Yes, Minions are taking over the world, people are even dressing their dogs like them. Which is obviously adorable, but the Minion-overload has raised an interesting question or two, namely: are Minions male or female?

Well, it would we weren’t the only ones who were curious. Lucky for us, Pierre Coffin, the director and animator of the Minions films, had the perfect response.

He told TheWrap: “Seeing how dumb and stupid they often are, I just couldn’t imagine Minions being girls."

Hilarious. We appreciate his honestly. It did spark further intrigue into whether that means that female voice actors were missing out on job opportunities.

Sandra Bullock does voice the film’s villain Scarlett Overkill, but it is very unusual for a mainstream children’s film to have so many male heroes, reports TheWrap.

Mr Coffin also dropped some more Minion wisdom when he acknowledged that Minions are unable to reproduce. Which is something many fans have been debating, apparently.

He also let us know the backstory of three of the most famous Minions.

“Kevin comes from an ancient Greek word (‘Kevinos’) which means leader,” he explains. “Stuart comes from the Latin word ‘Stuartalumni’ which means (loosely translated) ‘the one who slacks.’ As for Bob, it means short. For Robert.”

Well, there you have it, straight from the creator himself.

There are no lady Minions on our screens because they just aren’t smart enough. Simples.

One of the more chilling aspects of celebrity life came to light yesterday as the audio from a chilling 911 call made by Sandra Bullock was revealed as part of a court trial against her alleged stalker.

Sandra made the frantic police call last June from inside her house after coming face to face with a stalker in her hallway. She contacted police by phone from inside a locked closet in her bedroom.

In a police report, the actress told police that she had heard a loud banging from inside the house as she lay in bed and assumed it was caused by wind. As she got up to close her bedroom door, she came face-to-face with a man in her hallway dressed all in black. Sandra then slammed and locked the door as the man, later named as Joshua Corbett, ran upstairs into her attic.

The Miss Congeniality star had taken a shower before bed and feared Joshua had been in her house the entire time.

The tape was played yesterday as the preliminary hearing in Sandra's case against Corbett. It can be heard on the below CBS news report:

"Someone's broken into my house," Sandra can be heard telling the operator. "I'm hiding in the closet… I just saw them walk up into the attic… It was a man. I'm locked in my closet. I have a safe door in my bedroom. I've locked it and I'm locked in the closet right now."

A search of Corbett's house later revealed notebooks full of images of Sandra, one with the message "I will forever be thinking of you and Louie, my son, as you are my wife by law, the law of God and you belong to me and me to you." Louie is Sandra's 5-year-old son.

Such a scary incident – we hope the trial gives Sandra some peace of mind.

As part of Chelsea Handler’s series finale on E! last night, she got something she may not have been expecting on live TV – an intervention!

Of course, like everything with Chelsea, it was all done in humour, though we can’t say good taste…!

Chelsea’s close friends, Sandra Bullock, Mary McCormack and of course, Jennifer Aniston, took to the stage to read to Chelsea letters they had written regarding her behaviour.

Jennifer told Chelsea that she smells, basically (harsh much, Jen?!) while Mary told the presenter how she has ruined her life: “Now the closest I get to a vegetable is potato, in potato vodka.”

To top it all off, the girls then brought out on stage Chelsea’s ex boyfriend – 50 Cent! Awkward much?

Thankfully, Chelsea handled the delicate situation with grace…no, not really. Would we have it any other way?! Instead, the star began to ask 50 Cent if he was over her yet: "I'm assuming your new album is about me? I'm sorry I ended things so aprubtly." Oh, Chelsea!

Chelsea is now making the move to Netflix so we can’t wait to see what is in store next!

There’s terrifying news this morning as it has been revealed that an intruder was arrested at the home of Sandra Bullock.

The break-in occurred at around 6.30am, when the actress was asleep at the home.

The intruder was said to be in the grounds of Sandra’s home, checking out her house when police arrived on the scene.

Only hours previous to the frightening event, the Miss Congeniality actress had been presented with the Decade of Hotness award at the Guy’s Choice Awards. The award was presented to her by Hugh Grant, Matthew McConaughey and Keanu Reeves.

What an awful experience for Sandra! Especially given that her young son, Louis, may also have been on the premises.
