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.
