It's the Top 5 Worst Performances By Music Stars In Movies!
1. Mariah Carey in Glitter. Bless Mariah (pictured). She can belt out notes that only dogs can hear but when it comes to acting, there's as much movement as a kitchen table. I actually love Glitter for its tale of warring prodcuers (Max Beesley and Terrence Howard) trying to get control of Mariah's talents. But as they act each other off the screen, she stands there just looking dopey in a variety of low-cut tops.
2. Madonna in The Next Best Thing. Frankly, it could've been Madonna in most of her films. But this rom-com, one of her final big screen attempts, not only proves that chick flicks need a lightness that Madge just can't muster - it also shows that even after countless bad reviews, she still wasn't ready to give up. Persistance, perhaps. Or just arrogance.
3. Ice Cube in XxX2: State Of The Union. A legendary rapper he may be. He was also okay in the lo-fi laughs of Friday and Barbershop. But an action hero? Replacing the bicep-tastic Vin Diesel was a big mistake for this sequel. Cube's man-boobs just didn't cut it.
4. Britney in Crossroads. This teenage road movie was bad enough without Britters batting her eyelashes. But add in her 'rabbit-in-the-headlights' style of acting and you've got something serious pants. The moment she 'writes' I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman on the piano is a classic moment of truly bad cinema.
5. The Spice Girls in Spiceworld: The Movie. Proof that making a fast buck out of the latest fad may fatten your wallet, but it's rarely gonna make a classic movie. The Mels (B & C) are better than the others, but that's not saying much.

Even with Antony Hopkins, Emilio Estevez and Rene Russo all in it that movie could not be saved. Watch it now just for the comedy value of what 2009 was supposed to be like.
