For at least a century, moving to Hollywood has been the ultimate dream for anyone with ambitions of fame and fortune, the plot of a thousand movies. But what happens once you've made it in Tinseltown? Well... you might just end up leaving.
Stars like Jessica Biel are fleeing the city for simpler lives in quiet areas where they get more space, peace and privacy - as well as more bang for their buck.
In May, Biel revealed that her decision to leave Hollywood for Montana with husband Justin Timberlake was about giving their sons a regular life. "It's just trying to create some normalcy for these kids," she explained.
Rachel McAdams agrees. After doing the Hollywood thing, she now lives in the South and says it's perfect for life with two young children. "I knew it wasn't quite jiving with my personality and what I needed to stay sane," she recently said of her decision to move.
