Muggy Or Wooden

[Blind Gossip] This very famous singer really wants to become an actor.

She doesn’t just want to be a “celebrity with a walk-on part” kind of actor. She wants to be a great, serious, Academy-Award-winning actor!

To that end, she’s been taking acting lessons.

It’s not going well.

She is just weirdly self-conscious and image-conscious. It’s like she is always “on stage”, hyper-aware of who she is, who’s watching, where the camera is, how she looks, etc. There’s no vulnerability there, just ego. It’s her dressed in a costume, reading lines and mugging for the camera. If you tell her not to mug, she goes wooden. She can’t just let go and become the character.

If I had to put her in some kind of acting gig, I’d put her on Broadway. She can work the stage and she can hit her marks and she can project, so it wouldn’t be a total disaster. Or maybe I’d make her a guest star in one of those bad sitcoms where she can mug for the camera. But serious TV or film? No.

That’s a shame… because we hear that she is aiming for a LEAD role in a SERIOUS film or TV series in 2017 or 2018!

Not Miley Cyrus… although our singer is also under 30.

    • Lady Gaga IS 30 so not here. I didn’t love her on AHS but she didn’t have only one face. She was able to cry and do a bit of range.

    • Gaga is going to be 31 next month, so she’s not “under 30”, and I can’t imagine her being self conscious.

    • Gaga won a Golden Globe for American Horror Story, which is a drama. It’s definitely NOT her.

      …. Or Ariana who was a Disney Tween Star and she was also on Scream Queens.

      The blind suggests no real experience acting, so probably Taylor. Not sure if she’s done commercials but those don’t count as “acting.”

    • She’s 30, too old for the clue.

      That being said, Hotel was the worst season of AHS.

    • AHS fell apart when Jessica Lange left. Not even Bassett and Bates with all their talents could hold the mediocre, not scary writing together since Lange’s departure.

    • After reading the guesses I would have to go with Gaga. Taylor has already acted if I remember correctly. I think it was one of the CSI episodes.

    • This is totally Rihannah!!!! Shes supposed to be in the new oceans 11 all female cast!!!

  17. for lack of a better guess, I’ll go with swifty. “She is just weirdly self-conscious and image-conscious” –> Made me immediately think of Taylor Swift.

  19. Katy Perry is who came to mind….

    She could – Lady Gaga did -& Beyonce did… so she can at least try…. baby steps of course. 🙂

  20. You probably want to hear Taylor, but she is not even in the US right now. She has different priorities.

    • Where does the blind say this is ‘right now’? Where does it state a country?

      It’s Swift. Course it’s her.

  22. Taylor Swift? She looks wooden in her videos so I’m guessing her even though I’m too dense to see any clues.

  28. Singer: Taylor Swift?

    Optional: Maybe if she gets better! But not as she is today. She was so awkward in Valentine’s Day.

  30. Taylor Swift? Just days ago announced she’s doing no concerts this year, perhaps to focus on acting? She’s already dipped her toes in the water a few years back in Valentine’s Day and a few TV shows, and she’s so image conscious I can easily see her having a hard time letting go and becoming a character other than the public personae she’s created.

  35. THAT MUST BE RIHANNA!!!
    First i think was Gaga but her acting was good on AHS and she will be 31 this year so… and besides Gaga the only singer that is making a tv series is Rihanna on Bates Motel.
    Do you think she’ll be successful as an actor? I dont know, her acting was bad at battleship and apparently shes not getting better.

  38. When I watch music videos, I laugh at all the ridiculous posing. For a live example, just watch 5th Harmony. Singers are trained in fake. There are exceptions…not many.

  41. Taylor Swift, she probably will find success because she has such a huge fan base, they won’t care if she really sucks as an actress.

  48. Well we know Taylor wants to be an actress with those small parts she’s had and she lost out of Les Miserables. And her ego is huge and she’s always on stage.

  52. The one who came to mind was Adele, especially comments she made after she filmed her video for “Hello” and how she wanted to do more acting.

    Do i think she will succeed? Yes.

  55. Taylor Swift. And, no, it doesn’t sound like she has any acting talent. Unfortunately, like Madonna and Beyonce, she wants an Oscar, and her ego is so huge she just won’t acknowledge her limitations and accept that she should stick to singing. I see an embarrassing straight to DVD movie in her future.

  61. Taylor Swift…it would explain why she doesn’t have any shows booked for 2017 if you believe what she said at her last gig

  63. Selena Gomez Im thinking because of similar blind being about Justin Beiber and shes only under age 30 singer linked to him and as his ex-gf…
    BUT Selena has acting skills…actually starred in her own show plus multiple acting credits on other stuff. This blind sounds like it’s about somebody who doesn’t have any acting experience or credits though so im stumped?

  64. Taylor Swift?!?
    I believe she’s had a small part in Valentine’s Day(??) as part of an ensemble cast and was pretty wooden then……some of the pap shots of her trying to look friendly and approachable come across as muggy…..so unless her acting coach is a miracle worker I doubt an Oscar is in her near future.

  67. Taylor Swift

    Some of her peers, Selena, Miley, got their start in the biz as actresses. Taylor is the ONLY top singer to not act have an acting role or part in a film or TV. Rihanna is also doing her thing on the screen.

    Taylor must have studied acting at the same school as Madonna. Models also have the same issue. 2 dimensional, pose, look pretty for still shots…but can’t let themselves be natural in moving pictures. Too self-consciously aware.

  72. Oh, maybe that girl that was in “Hairspray Live”, the one who licked donuts…Ariana Grande! I can see her thinking she’s all that.

    No, she won’t be successful as an actor! I don’t even understand how she’s successful as a singer. On “Hairspray Live” she was the worst singer. That surprised me, as I had only heard of her, had never heard her sing, and expected something other than what she delivered.

    • Okay, after reading other answers, I learned that Ariana got her start as an actor. I didn’t know that. Maybe this is about Taylor Swift. I don’t think Taylor would be a good actor. She seems too uptight, and I can’t see her yielding and becoming a character….though I guess she has done a pretty good job of pretending to be Miss Goody-Goody.

  73. At first I thought MiMi but she’s over 30.

    Tswizzle has had some walk-on parts, but she’s not known for projecting, her vocals are criticized a lot.

    Maybe Arianna Grande Latte?

  75. First thought was Lady Gaga, but A) she’s 30 already, and B) acting already.
    Katy Perry is 32. Ariana, Demi and Selena all started as actresses. Rihanna already acting. Is Lorde considered “very” famous?
    With the “very famous” description, it really only leaves Taylor Swift, right? She’s only done a tiny bit of “acting” outside of her videos, and is pretty bad.

  81. I thought this was Katy Perry, but she’s 32.

    Singer: I will guess this is the over exposed and annoying Taylor Swift. She’s a control freak and can’t let go of her ego and image.

    Do you think she’ll be successful as an actor? NO

  83. I want to say Taylor Swift because she’s been leaning that way, like her Vogue interview last year, but she’s already done some acting.

    Maybe Selena Gomez?

  85. Honestly, these people who think just because they’re awesome at one thing that they can just step into another with no talent are annoying. The “yes” entourage needs to tell them “no”.

    Taylor Swift.

  86. Singer: Lady Gaga.

    Absolutely not. Her performance in American Horror Storry was cringe-worthy at best. I cannot believe Bradley Cooper got her for A Star is Born. It’s going to be a disaster.

  90. Singer: Beyonce. I read that she is taking acting lessons. She do needs them. I can see her getting better.

  91. Taylor Swift?

    Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande all started off as actresses and seem to prefer their music careers so I doubt it’s any of them. Can’t think of anyone else.

  93. Taylor Swift
    No – stick to singing and songwriting – she can’t even act in her own videos

  94. Gaga? Katy Perry? Swift? Every entertainer seems to want to do EVERY thing instead of just capitalizing on what they’re actually talented at. Nothing wrong with ambition and dreams but there are some things we’re just not good at

  95. Taylor Swift…….she’s just awkward – can’t imagine how she’ll pull off acting.

  97. Maybe taylor swift who had auditioned for the role of Eponine in les miserables… if its her i don’t think she should try so hard, just focus on putting out new music pls.

  98. Taylor Swift. She’s her own best role, so one could see her struggling to play someone else. 😉

  99. I immediately thought Katy Perry, but she isn’t under thirty.

    Taylor Swift, maybe?

    Or Ariana? She’s done some acting, but you don’t really need to be talented to be on a kids show, let’s be real.

  100. a part of me really thinks this is Swifty. She’s been a little MIA lately and her theatrics on stage would make me think she believes she’s expressive enough to act.
