R. Kelly collected a second income as a firefighter.
Popular musicians rallied to save the record business.
Amy Poehler got a better job.
Ben Silverman tried not to get fired from his.
Damien Hirst sold off all his dead animals.
Annie Proulx asked her fans to save their postage.
Ben Kingsley completely lost his mind.
