Paltrow’s musical talents are a fairly new discovery. First she dipped into the country world, starring in Country Strongand performing at the 2010 CMAs with Vince Gill to perform the film’s title track. But her censored take on Cee Lo’s “F**k You” on “Glee” — and their Muppet-rific 2011 Grammy performance together — will be what everyone remembers...
Long before she was on “American Idol” every week, Jennifer Lopez was just a Fly girl on TV’s “In Living Colour.” So if we’re getting technical, she was a dancer before her breakout role portraying famed Mexican pop star Selena — an endeavor that fittingly led into her own music career. Seven albums (and what feels like a million rom-coms) later, J...
There’s no doubt Jamie Foxx beautifully channeled the spirit of Ray Charles on the big screen, but the actor continued to show off his musical skills by releasing four R&B albums since — and charting in the top 10 with 2006’s “Unpredictable” and 2009’s “Blame It.” Coincidentally, Foxx’s biggest musical splash has been his collaboration on Kanye Wes...
Gladiator stud Russell Crowe has some notable swagger up his sleeve, so we can believe the Aussie actor has quite the rock’n’roll frontman history. 30 Odd Foot of Grunts(TOFOG) formed in Australia in the early nineties before Crowe found success stateside, and the band later evolved into Russell Crowe & the Ordinary Fear of God, who have loose plan...
Those unacquainted with the world of bluegrass music may be scratching their heads at this choice, but Steven Martin has actually won a Grammy (best bluegrass album for The Crowin 2010) for his musical accomplishments. It’s nice to see funny guy Martin staying true to his instrument, as the banjo was a staple of his early stand-up comedy act. And i...
The sexy Lost In Translation actress attempted to take on the grizzly-voiced legend Tom Waits in 2008 with a cover album titled Anywhere I Lay My Head. Even after an underwhelming response to her Waits covers, Johansson teamed with singer-songwriter Pete Yorn on Break Up, a collaborative album inspired by Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot just a...
Diner proved Kevin Bacon could act; Footlooseshowed he could dance; and the Bacon Brothers shows the Oscar-nominated entertainer can sing, too. A slew of albums and a duet with the Bellamy Brothers later, the Brothers Bacon are still rocking out with country-tinged jams.
For years, Jared Leto was most know for being the gorgeous, clueless Jordan Catalano on the short-lived, but much beloved mid-’90s teen drama My So-Called Life. But even while he was projecting his angst on the sound stage, Leto’s real aspiration was to take his talent to the music stage. The same year MSCL was cancelled, Leto formed alt-rock band ...
William Shatner is a man of many talents: Star Trek alum, the “Priceline Negotiator,” and most important for our purposes, speak-singer extraordinaire. Shatner’s distinct take on hit songs dates back to 1968, when he released his first album, The Transformed Man. His rendition of Bob Dylan’s “Tambourine Man” remains a cult classic, trailed closely ...
Consider us completely unsurprised that the 500 Days of Summer actress and the star of FOX’s The New Girl,, who looks like a hipster Katy Perry, is in an indie rock band. She & Him, Deschanel’s collaboration with folk guitar hero M. Ward, has given the world three delightfully retro records since 2008, including a Christmas album in 2011. Their thi...
