Rihanna has 11 #1 singles on the Hot 100, and now the Bajan superstar can officially add actress to her resume. Riri just made her silver screen debut in the sci-fi thriller, Battleship, and while folks were hoping the #RihannaNavy would make this movie #1 at the box office, it was pretty much an expensive flop. But she’s not the first singer to step outside her comfort zone to act and not have the best results. And at the same time, there have been many singer-turned-actors who’ve had major success on-screen. They’ve solidified the obvious: in this economy, two jobs are better than one.  Let’s take a look at some other musicians who decided two lanes were better than staying in one.

    Beyonce is a terrible actress and its a shame that she gets roles at all. Its painful to watch her unless she’s on a stage. Janet’s not bad but I must admit I didnt see her in her last 2 roles so I cant really give an opinion on her. Whitney could act and I honestly think JT isnt too bad. He was great in Alpha Dog which wasnt mentioned and he’s pretty funny whenever he’s on SNL. I havent seen any of his other movies. Jennifer Hudson isnt that great either, I wasnt impressed with her in Sex in the City and I’m pretty sure she played a nun in that God aweful 3 stouges movie. I have no interest in seeing Ri Ri on film.
