bleurgh.

look at this blah blah blah tapping charity launch

yes, she's not a professional dancer and yes i'm being uncharitable but... she can't. sing or dance.

and she is NAUSEATING in that interview, all those Tom Cruise tics. yuck yuck yuck.

she's only about 28, WHY is she acting like an old woman?

Did the articla need to tell us quite so many times that she is indeed not a professional dancer, and as such has no dancing experience?

Agree with the sexy thing, lights are on but there's no-one home.

amidaiwish · 24/07/2009 21:34

she didn't actually dance did she - just strutted, kicked her legs, swished her hair? i know she was "singing" too... but i classify myself as a crap dancer and think even i could have pulled that off.

i thought it was her voice, but it was never live. actually i was confused by the whole thing on that score. it was just a video, wasn't it?

don't give her any publicity aitch

Heated · 24/07/2009 22:21

Thought it was fine but less charity, more a CV for Katie Holmes.

The cynic in me wonders whether a Hollywood career is a fair quid pro quo for marriage to TC/producing a bio child to scotch rumours.

SofiaAmes · 24/07/2009 22:27

gosh, it was so awful, I can't imagine that anyone who sees it will want to hire her after that...I think there is such a thing as bad publicity.

poorbuthappy · 24/07/2009 22:28

She's no Cath ZJ is she?

Also nice to see that Cat is still alive...

SofiaAmes · 24/07/2009 22:43

well it didn't help that her performance was on a dance competition show with some of the most amazing new dancers in the usa.

Platesmasher · 25/07/2009 09:14

ok, i've sobered up now......

but of course she has dance experience, she's an actress, it's all part of the training I would have thought.

she was just shit.

at least she can put it down to a charity effort unlike her pal victoria who made millions while being a shit dancer.

....hmm, even sober it still annoys me.

CybilLiberty · 25/07/2009 09:21

She's obv. angling for a part in Chicago. But lets be honest..how many of us havent played Roxy Hart.

Very average. But I liked the white skrt suit at the bginning

yappybluedog · 25/07/2009 10:10

She is soooooooooo dull

Was that Cat Deeley interviewing her? She's lost that Brummie accent.

Flamesparrow · 25/07/2009 11:28

Hmm, from the few times she sang on dawson's creek, her voice has certainly changed

redandgreen · 25/07/2009 11:40

Nice hair.

Wasn't her singing on that OR Dawson's Creek.

Flamesparrow · 25/07/2009 12:29

Lol good point about it not being her in Dawson's Creek (apart from the talent show one because they can't possibly have got someone else to sing that badly )

cheesesarnie · 25/07/2009 12:40

i thought it was quite good

but ive not slept for days.or spoken to a real adult.or left the house.

Platesmasher · 25/07/2009 18:50

time to venture outdoors cheesesarnie

you ok?

pofacedandproud · 25/07/2009 19:04

she sang it in a recording studio, had it tweaked and tuned, then swished and mimed her way through through the performance, looks like more than one take unless lots of cameras filming one performance. If she wants a part in Chicago she'll have to sing live. She should take a few lessons from our very own and wonderful Ruthie Henshall....

[LOL at who hasn't played Roxie Hart these days]

AitchTwoOh · 25/07/2009 20:44

yes, it seemed to me to be a bit of a con to have her wheech off her hat and bow to an appreciative audience when it was clearly imo not live.

plus, and i know this marks me out as a DM reader of old, there have been pics of her in dance tights for MONTHS, so while she might be a novice dancer, learning this routine has been her full time job for the last while.

"As she high-kicks her way through the song, she's surrounded by muscular male dancers; we wonder what hubby Tom Cruise would say to that!"

"Ooh, me next!"?
