If all goes to plan this should SCIENTIFICALLY PINPOINT the essence of a great pop star without any of that pesky music getting in the way.

a full THREE* of these have already been popstars! (and in the case of the one i ticked, v good at it too.)

*at LEAST: who knows what charity singles lurk out there

For the benefit of Lex

Hello, I'm Brian Blessed.

only ticked Kate but I remembered (via k-punk) that apparently she hasn't given an interview in years (=> not as demystified as most on this list).

NB: Pharrell has said that he is "working with" Prince Williams.

(I assume on a non-musical 'project' but ONE CAN ALWAYS HOPEFEAR)

GORDON'S ALIVE

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.

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.

Criminally I failed to include A CHILD on the original list. So, which famous kid would make the best pop star?

Oh whoops I thought the "And who would be the worst" box was for write-ins, not to pick one from the list above. Still...write-ins anyone?

Posh vs Becks

What do electric dogs dream of?

C*nt in the Kitchen

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.

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).
