Best & Worst 'Celebrity' Albums?

Tarantino · 12-15-07, 04:17 PM

A while back, I picked up this CD at Rasputins for $2 as a joke:

And listening to it, it's not all that bad. He sounds like a very old school Eminem. Good producers too (a guy from the Pharcyde, the Black Eyed Peas (Pre Fergie)). Unfortunately, as David from Beverly Hills 90210, this album was doomed from the start.

We all know there are a few celebrity albums out there that get pigeonholed because of who's making them. What are some good ones? And, I guess...bad ones as well...

Chris Jericho's Fozzy albums are all really good

Williams Shatner wins both. Worst for "The Transformed man" and best for "Has Been".

John C. Reilly has done a publicity tour with a full band for "Walk Hard," and according to someone who went to one of the shows, he does a great job. He sounds a little like Charlie Rich. The soundtrack is pretty good, too. But I'm not sure it counts, since he's not playing himself.

I always thought Jennifer Love Hewitt was a really good singer. She's had about 3 or 4 albums out, but none were popular.

This is the song I only ever remember seeing on MTV...

This Eddie Murphy video has got to be the best/worst celebrity song of all time:

It looks like an outtake from "Chubby Rain," the movie-within-a-movie in "Bowfinger."
