The relationship between movie stars and their audiences is sort of like a romantic one. First, there's the thrill of infatuation. Then, there is a comfortable familiarity. But often, the bloom eventually comes off the rose, and fans simply move on. With that in mind, here are some fading stars whose public has seemed to say, "We're just not that into you."

Biggest Box Office Gross: "Chicago" -- $170,687,518
Most Recent Box Office Gross: "New in Town" -- $8,628,291 (and counting)

Zellweger raked in piles of cash and got an Oscar nomination for "Chicago," but her most recent turn as a rom-com lead tanked in "New in Town."

Biggest Box Office Gross: "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" -- $105,813,373
Most Recent Box Office Gross: "Bride Wars" -- $54,298,710

Kate Hudson hit box-office gold with "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" and more or less has been trying to duplicate that success for the past five years. "Bride Wars" hints that that well might just be drying up.

Biggest Box Office Gross: "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" -- $423,315,812
Most Recent Box Office Gross: "The Duchess" -- $13,848,978

Comparing summer blockbusters to British costume dramas might not be completely fair, but Knightley has been getting a bit too much mileage out of her hoop skirt, bodice, silly hair combo.

Biggest Box Office Gross: "The Matrix Reloaded" -- $281,492,479
Most Recent Box Office Gross: "The Day the Earth Stood Still" -- $78,807,677

"The Matrix" was a huge hit for Keanu. The second "Matrix" flick, even more so. But the middling performance of his latest flick -- which had the budget of $80 million -- seems to indicate that audiences are growing bored of Reeves in over-cooked Sci-fi flicks.

Biggest Box Office Gross: "Fantastic Four" -- $281,576,461
Most Recent Box Office Gross: "The Eye" -- $78,807,677

Though she might still grace the covers of fashion magazines, Jessica Alba starred in a string of C-grade horror flicks, which hasn't done much to burnish her career. She needs to don those "Fantastic Four" leotards again.

Biggest Box Office Gross: "Shrek 2" -- $441,226,247
Most Recent Box Office Gross: "The Love Guru" -- $32,235,793

The first Austin Powers movie was funny. The third, mildly amusing. "Love Guru" was so spectacularly unfunny that it might actually cause damage to the humor section of the brain. Worse, it was also a huge box-office bomb.

Biggest Box Office Gross: "Happy Feet" -- $198,000,317
Most Recent Box Office Gross: "Australia" -- $49,054,498

Forbes magazine singled out Kidman as being the most overpaid celebrity in Hollywood. With the exception of providing the voice to an animated penguin in "Happy Feet," she has recently starred in multiple movies that fizzled at the box-office, the most recent being that over-ripe yawn-fest called "Australia."

Biggest Box Office Gross: "Shrek 2" -- $441,226,247
Most Recent Box Office Gross: "Meet Dave" -- $11,803,254

Though the "Shrek" franchise made piles of cash, Eddie Murphy's highest grossing non-animated flick was all the way back during the Reagan administration with "Beverly Hills Cop 2." Murphy might want to avoid fat suits and high concept movie ideas in the future and instead make something that's actually funny.
