Don't Quit Your Dayjobs

Watch your backs Don Johnson and Joey Lawrence. A new crop of B-List stars are vying for a spot on the bargain bin bandwagon...

Peter Gallagher - "Still I Long For You"
Just in time for Chrismukkah. Sure Sandy Cohen sang "Luck Be a Lady" on Broadway, but that doesn't make him Otis Redding. He told E! "I know for a fact that there will be people who won't take my music seriously because I'm an actor on a TV show." Not true. People won't take your music seriously 'cause you were in Mr. Deeds.

Steven Seagal - "Don't You Cry"
All the songs on Steven's Official "MP3 Page" are actually RealAudio files. Codec confusion not surprising since the page looks like it was created by Steven himself.

Jamie Foxx - "Extravaganza (Feat. Kanye West)"
You can't just stick a Kanye rap in the middle of a shitty ballad and call it "Golddigger."

John Corbett (Sex & The City's Aidan) is recording a country album while Billy Bob Thornton gives us his third, Hobo. Angelina's not a fan.

Peter Gallagher (the singer) and 50 Cent (the actor) were on Regis & Kelly this morning. Kelly promised a rap-off, but I didn't see it.

RELATED: I tried to watch Bai Ling sing Blondie and my monitor cracked.

Hey don't knock P. Gallagher! He pulled off a kick ass version of 'Memories Are Made of This' in the Hudsucker Proxy.

Coincidentally, I think both Peter and Steven's records were made in Memphis.

So much for the birthplace of rock and roll.

Speaking of actors who sing, Page Six says Walk The Line star Joaquin Phoenix is on the verge of a nervous breakdown ...

During an interview with the Associated Press at the movie's L.A. premiere on Friday night, Phoenix asked the reporter: "Do I have a large frog in my hair? . . . Something's crawling out of my scalp." When the reporter assured Phoenix he "looked great," the actor replied, "No, but I feel it. I'm not worried about the looks. I'm worried about the sensation of my brain being eaten ... What did you ask me?"

Hey, who doesn't have the sensation of their brain being eaten every now and then?
And, Mr. Seagal, I will cry damn you, I will.

Dammit... I got scooped on the P. Gallagher Hudsucker shout-out. So... Yeah. What JoJoba Oil said.

Quit knocking America's favorite unibrow.

listen to the seagal song. it's not cool or whatever, but his voice isn't bad. i figured it would be laughable at least, but it wasn't funny at all. boring coast103, yes, but not a joke.

dear vh1, "but can they sing" is one of the worst shows on television... and that's saying a lot.

I was just about to mention Rick Moranis's effort. Anyone have a listen? I found it a few weeks ago, and I have to say, I genuinely like it.

I'm probably going to see the new 50 movie in a sketchy part of Baltimore with friends. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
