Starcrossed Crossovers

Some stars gracefully make the move from acting to singing and actually enjoy some success. Jamie Foxx did it with his star turn in "Ray," which prompted him to record a hit album. Other stars moved from singing to acting; Madonna was amazing in "Evita." But some stars should stick to what they do best.
Jessica Simpson: Click to launch
The only thing memorable about Jessica Simpson's acting debut was the Daisy Dukes she wore. And while Paris Hilton has taken some heat for her singing ability, her album can be classified as a hit. Her acting "talent" in films like "House of Wax" and "The Hills" has been called the s**t, and not in a good way.

61. Honestly I dont think Jess cant act but I love her, I think she can sing and i like most of her songs... I also think that she is very pretty .... I think paris has no skills at all except for her camera skills I know it's mean to say but maybe she should stick to stuff she's good at like shoping kind of...

62. I have asked the question over and over again, How old is she now? Jessica Simpson? 26? And she needs her freaky father to control her? I think he's behind the marriage break up, and he puts the girls out there for his own business...What a sick freak. I would never pawn my kids off for money. There are some serious family dysfunctional dynamics there. I think he's actually a pimp.
Sickeneing. Neither girl will ever be happy., as long as he has his hand up their asses like a puppet master.

64. Hello people! Our pop culture is lowering its standards every time people buy Paris', Jessica's, Britney's albums because they are those glossy dolls that are available just like any Barbie version. Naughty and nice image is getting too old. They are much more naughty than nice. If they had decent brains, they'd do better job than mostly flaunt tits and rotate hips. Hey girls, can I see your IQ score??? Can I see your unique deposit into culture of modern world? Hello??? I'll be glad to hear something smart from you

65. Jessica Simpson can sing. Paris Hilton cannot sing, Britney Spears sounds like a 6 year old girl trying to sing. Paris Hilton does her own thing but in my opinion Jessica and Paris are in two different lanes. I suppose Dukes of Hazzard wasn't an oscar worthy performance but so what!? She got paid, got put on the big screen and looked fabulous. She will get better. You guys are so quick to call people bitches and hoes...just because you didn't like a performance or a picture!? That is disgusting, lazy, and trashy and shows just how ignorant mainstream America really is. I want to see ANY girl who uses her chewed, chipped, fingernail polished hands to type some unneccesary comment even come close to looking as fly as Jessica Simpson usually looks. And beyond the superficial she actually can sing! Now...her father I won't comment on but I guess if it works for them then fine.

66. And who determines what music is good and what isn't... Everyone has their own opinions about what they consider good/bad, and what types of music they listen too. I actually liked some of Paris Hilton's songs, and Jessica can sing in my opinion, she just chose some Bull crap songs to record on this latest CD, I hated it, but I did enjoy her previous CD's.

67. I like Jessica Simpson, and I do think she can sing. I agree with a lot of posters who say that she needs to stick to singing and not trying to milk the cow for all it's worth, by trying to do clothing, shoe, lip gloss, body lotions, & the hair extension line. Paris Hilton, may not be the best singer but she did okay for someone who is known for being nothing but rich...With the right managers both of them could have great careers... Paris & Jessica should take acting lessons, Paris needs to learn how to actually pose in photos instead of standing there with her head slightly tilted to one side.

Jessica made a mistake by dumping her husband Nick Lachey which was her father's advice... Nick actually loved her and the poster that said money can't buy you love is so true. It's obvious that Jessica is miserable now that she isn't with Nick. As her fame was on the rise she thought she was too BIG a star to be with Nick, her loss.

Nick even tried to reconcile but Jessica refused, now who wants to be with whom?

I do not understand all the Jessica and Paris bashing... Paris is always blamed for other stars who go partying, WTF, they would do this with or without her. Jessica messed up by doing what she did to Nick, a real down to earth guy, that doesn't let fame and fortune go to his head....

68. Neither one of them has any talent!! Paris's Album bombed, it's obvious she has no talent, she bought her own record label! Jessica Simpson should be ashamed of herself, making a fool out of herself in front of Dolly Parton ( who has real talent) and the President! Also neither of the girls have the sense they weer born with, (if they had any to begin with). Also about Jess's dad being a minister, has anyone ever heard the name of his church or what denomination he is?

69. Where have all the REAL actors gone? For those who can't act...try the porn business. The porn business (movies and magazines combined) make MORE money than conventional Hollywood flicks. Just ask Ron Jeremy or Jenna Jameson. Try not to make eye contact with the money. LOL!
