When the Fat Actress Sings

Alright, well in Mountain time, I have about 9 minutes to write this blog, so I shall make it short and not so sweet. Here's a question: What's with all the actors starting singing careers? It used to be that crooners would move to the big screen ala Sinatra, but now everyone from Joaquin Pheonix to Scarlet Johansen is going solo. Can the actors please act and the singers please sing? Just cause you played a legendary rocker in a movie doesn't mean that you are on in real life, honey. Maybe I'm just jealous. It's taken 4 years of voice lessons for me to even think about reaching a high A.  And when Natalie Portman comes along with a law degree from Harvard, an absurdly attractive appearance, and acting chops, it sort of makes me question why the rest of us girls exist. Come on, Hollywood! Let's produce some underachievers! Oh wait- That would be Lindsay and Britney. Nevermind- maybe talent is useful after all.
