actors attempting to sing

Lindsay Lohan
has had a semi-okay music career thus far, selling 3 million albums worldwide. Her single
"Bossy" was underrated and never had an album to accompany it. Like most singing actresses, she utilizes an electronic-heavy pop genre to mask her flaws. Pretty standard. A new song "Stuck" has been leaked (listen here), and sadly it isn't as cool as I was hoping. The beat is definitely addicting, but on the chorus it sounds like she is vocally reaching for "stuck, stuck stuck" -- and never gets all the way up there. The song's a little out of her range. Lindsay claims she doesn't know how the song got leaked...pleassse. It's a great distraction from the hot mess her life has become.

Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester has been dabbling in music for a little while now, but her song "Your Love Is a Drug" is just fun. It's super-short, and has got a summer-y, simple feeling to it (listen here). She has had a few songs with guest stars like Robin Thicke and Lil Wayne, but since her debut album (Love Is A Drug) is supposed to be released this year, she needs to prove that she can step it up solo. Her voice is actually smooth and comfortable, and it will be interesting to see how the album comes out. It will likely be delayed, though, in news that Meester is now filming a new feature, The Oranges.

Frankie Muniz, that guy from Malcolm In The Middle and the Agent Cody Banks movies, has disappeared from acting -- first to become a race car driver (true story), and now to become a drummer for some band in Phoenix. Random. Apparently, Muniz is BFF with Hanson, and Zac Hanson taught him how to play the drums. Good times. Unfortunately, Muniz's band You Hang Up is straight-up mediocre.

Twilight teen sensation Robert Pattinson is even talking about venturing into music. Since he is totally set for life, I'd advise him to stick to what he knows.
