CLEARLY if I was only ticking one it would be the Greatest Living Englishman. Perhaps he would do....a rap.
K Moss is proven by science to have terrible taste in music, her whole modelling career has been built on her being a bit indie.
I think Tom Cruise is the most likely of these film stars to make something extremely horrible but dementedly compelling. Clooney has too much sense and would make a tiresome crooning record.
Jade, Colleen: yes. Colleen WITH WAYNE: Matt you were too scared to put this as an option I think.
Undoubtedly the most terrible potential record here is Will Self's spoken word with trip-hop backing. I would be astonished if this didn't already exist.
Surely Colleen and Wayne would be the Eamon and Frankie of Fake Pop - ie RUBBISH POP STARS.
Will Self has an actual proper rock and roll story to him, namely that one about doing smack on John Major's private plane, I think he would be one of those good pop stars that give good interview but make bad records. As opposed to a novelist who gives good interview but writes bad novels.
Clooney would be a good pop star because he is cool in an authoritative way and lots of women would fancy him but likewise the records would be dull. I agree with you totally on Tom Cruise, which is why I picked him.
Putting Kat Slater in there was a mistake because we've already had one Cerys Matthews.
i waz flickin around TV and by mistake hit "eight out of ten cats" (BY MISTAKE I TELL YOU) and JADE was on it --- i was so happy! i forgot how much i love jade
i think she would be a poor popstar bcz it is a STEP DOWN FROM GODHEAD
I would like to see Stephen Fry and Xenomania getting down to some serious n proper work now, please.
Clearly the best non-popstar celebrity to become a popstar would be Becca's Little Sister Off Of Hollyoaks, who would be excellent in a Charlotte Church/Betty Curse way,* so long as she took the good elements of both and otherwise a horrible, terrible flop.
*AND THEN BECOME THE EMO/"GRITTY WORKING CLASS" KYLIE. OMG.
Gordon Ramsay to record 'rap' album. Themed around his own life as a chef and tv 'personality' and inspired by Brit-rappers like Robbie Williams, Ian Dury, John Cooper Clarke, The Streets, Sid Snot, Infinite Livez, Gordon has collaborated with top producers Pharrell, Mark Ronson, Diplo and Dangermouse. Insiders describe the record as 'edgy'. Highlights include 'If you can't stand the f*cking heat, get the f*ck out of the f*cking kitchen'; 'Where the f*ck did you learn to f*cking cook, c*nt school?'; and 'I'll charge what I f*cking like for my f*cking food you c*nt -- or did you want to f*cking cook it yourself, in which case you can f*ck off'. It's been rumoured that the record company heard no obvious single among the tracks delivered and have sent Ramsay back into the studio with Pete Waterman to record something with less swears on it.
Ramsay would make a bad pop star I fear. Aggressive autocratic sweariness is everywhere in pop and relentless slagging of other chefs pop stars would just make him come over like a member of Mogwai.
That girl who plays Hermione looks like she's well on her way!
Here is amazing proof of this, where she is both emo-goth and teenpop but in a never-released-on-LP obscure way (which makes her simultaneously pure pop and pure hipster).
