Muggy Or Wooden

February 7, 2017 Blind Gossip

[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.

    Definitely Taylor Swift. That description of her stage presence is very accurate.

  4. luvprue1 says

    February 8, 2017 at 10:05 pm

    It’s the queen Bee herself. This blind is about Beyonce. She was recently in us weekly talking about how she is taking acting lessons in New York, and L.A for the past year because she wants to get more dramatic roles.

    Taylor Swift. Girl knows how to pose for pap shots and stage performances, but nothing else. Judging by her attempt to look sexy in that Zayn video, I say that she has a long way to go, so no, I do not think she will be successful, and I’ll be glad for that! I’m sick of her playing the victim.

  6. ariadne223 says

    February 8, 2017 at 3:34 pm

    This screams Swifty, especially ego-wise. Though it’s difficult to imagine anyone describing her as easily projecting her vocals.

    Don’t think she’d pull it off based on her videos. She’d better stick to singing Max Martin tunes.

    February 8, 2017 at 12:47 pm

    gaga
    She’s trying to be like Madonna. Like how Taylor was her “Sean Penn”

  8. yo1774 says

    February 8, 2017 at 10:47 am

    Sorry, but you need way more talent to be on Broadway than to be on tv.
    And people, come on, Gaga? seriously? you can dislike her as much as you care, but it’s pretty obvioius she can act at least decently

  10. theveronicas says

    February 8, 2017 at 8:20 am

    Taylor Swift

    She will be a famous actress because her fans are very loyal, but she cannot act for shiz

  11. Female says

    February 8, 2017 at 8:17 am

    Maybe Adele. She doesn’t want to tour once her child begins school, so maybe she thought acting would be something she could do without moving around too much.

  12. robynsing says

    February 8, 2017 at 8:03 am

    My guess is Ariana Grande. She’s a real muggy ham. She’s on that horrible Scream series right? She was just in Hairspray Live and played Penny which is a goofy muggy role. It seems she needs a lot of training and some maturity to pull off anything deep.

  13. prinny says

    February 8, 2017 at 8:00 am

    I will guess Taylor. Her ambition is very obvious and she seems already wooden to me without even seeing her act.

    I think she has enough connections to get those serious roles. However, I predict Madonna levels of ineptitude in front of the camera.

  14. OrangeZest123 says

    February 8, 2017 at 7:52 am

    Taylor Swift, and no, she will not.

  15. Aurelia says

    February 8, 2017 at 7:38 am

    Tatar Tot Swift

    Don’t see her being an actress, maybe, maybe selling her own line of mirrors though.

  16. embee92 says

    February 8, 2017 at 7:23 am

    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.

  17. Rafael says

    February 8, 2017 at 6:47 am

    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.

  18. deering says

    February 8, 2017 at 6:24 am

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

  19. pflower says

    February 8, 2017 at 6:17 am

    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.

  20. LC1216 says

    February 8, 2017 at 6:04 am

    Ok…so not lady gaga.

    This has got to be Taylor Swift.

  21. copssister says

    February 8, 2017 at 5:51 am

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

  22. bevvve says

    February 8, 2017 at 5:36 am

    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

  23. jolael says

    February 8, 2017 at 5:34 am

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

  24. 4sixx2 says

    February 8, 2017 at 5:30 am

    Stick with your guitar, Swiffer.

  25. thisisannoying says

    February 8, 2017 at 4:53 am

    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.

  26. luvprue1 says

    February 8, 2017 at 3:39 am

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

      Not possible. She’s well north of 30.

    Taylor Swift

    No, she definitely would not be successful as an actor!

  30. mozartkugeln says

    February 8, 2017 at 1:17 am

    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.

  31. Caz1310 says

    February 8, 2017 at 1:03 am

    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.

  32. scout727 says

    February 8, 2017 at 12:00 am

    Taylor Swift

  33. mpizzle says

    February 7, 2017 at 11:24 pm

    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?

  34. blinkandyoumight says

    February 7, 2017 at 11:17 pm

    LADY GAGA

  35. GayleStorm says

    February 7, 2017 at 10:54 pm

    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

  36. jonty30 says

    February 7, 2017 at 10:43 pm

    Probably not Swift. She has done some acting and seemed to hit her mark.

  37. sabrina325 says

      Not at 35+ blind says under 30.

  39. Flanky says

    Taylor swift?

  40. anpa18 says

    February 7, 2017 at 9:10 pm

    Ariana Grande?

  41. TheSalmon says

    February 7, 2017 at 9:04 pm

    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.

  42. jophieljo says

    February 7, 2017 at 8:58 pm

    Swifty

  43. joanbonjovi says

    February 7, 2017 at 8:42 pm

    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?

  44. GretaGuesses says

    February 7, 2017 at 8:34 pm

    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.

    • GretaGuesses says

      February 10, 2017 at 11:18 am

      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.

  45. pepperping says

    February 7, 2017 at 8:32 pm

    Surely this is Taylor Swift?

  46. parkland45 says

    Lady Gaga

  47. Reggie5561 says

    February 7, 2017 at 7:55 pm

    Taylor Swift
    No. She will not be a successful actor.

  48. MissZ says

    February 7, 2017 at 7:31 pm

    Taylor Swift?

  49. KCeagle says

    February 7, 2017 at 7:22 pm

    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.

  50. amyinkamloops says

    February 7, 2017 at 7:20 pm

    My fair lady… Lady Gaga.

    I have to believe she will be ok.

  51. MinnieMe says

    No, no, no. She can’t fake a pregnancy. She can’t fake a marriage.

    • TheSalmon says

      February 8, 2017 at 12:27 pm

      She’s 35. At least.

  52. jackrabbit says

    February 7, 2017 at 7:15 pm

    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.

  53. JerzeyJenn says

    February 7, 2017 at 7:01 pm

    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?

  54. jen4000 says

    February 7, 2017 at 6:59 pm

    Rihanna?

    Yes.

  55. elphie says

    February 7, 2017 at 6:56 pm

  61. annabelle77 says

    February 7, 2017 at 6:14 pm

    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.

  62. Aurora says

    February 7, 2017 at 6:14 pm

    Taylor Swift? I can’t see her as a serious actor.

    Taylor Swift

  64. Jelly Drop says

    February 7, 2017 at 5:47 pm

    Do i think she will succeed? Yes.

    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.

  86. johnchas1 says

    February 7, 2017 at 3:45 pm

    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.

      Not Lady Gaga. She won an award for her role in American Horror Story Hotel

      She’s been praised for her work on AHM and even won a Golden Globe for it

      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.

      She’s already won awards for american horror story so doubt it.

      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.
