 It’s not uncommon for musicians to try their hand at acting, and the results aren’t always disastrous (Jennifer Hudson, anyone?). But rarely do actors have the same success rate when they attempt to enter the music biz (Eddie Murphy’s “Party All The Time” excluded, obviously). Rarer still, is the actor/actress who pursues a behind-the-scenes role as a music producer. So when Alec Baldwin announced that he wanted to produce Beynce singing an album of Shirley Bassey covers, we thought he had lost it?again. “Me, Alec Baldwin, who has no credentials whatsoever in the music industry, I’m going to contact Beyoncé Knowles and say to her, ‘Beyoncé, you’re going to re-sing the entire Shirley Bassey catalog. And we are going to make so much goddamn money.’” Riiigghtt?.Anyway, thiz odd musical pairing got us thinking about other imaginary actor-musician collabos we’d like to see happen. Here’s what we’ve got so far:??
- Angelina Jolie producing Ladysmith Black Mambazzo’s crossover album?after adopting all 36 singers. They?re adorably African, don?t you know!
- Reese Witherspoon producing the White Stripes. Ain?t nobody whiter than Reese. Plus..they?re Nashville neighbors! Perf!?
- Jared Leto producing 30 Seconds to Mars. Oh wait…
- Jerry Lewis collaborating with the Beastie Boys on a ?Hey Ladies? remake.
- Tom Cruise producing Beck. They’re both Scientologists. If you play the album backwards there’ll be hidden messages about Xenu!
What collabos would you like to see?
