Sing Out Loud!

Filed under: Music Minute

wenn1878892.jpg

Everyone's trying to be a singer these days.

The latest person trying? That's Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky.

Well, at least she can actually sing!

Blonsky is working on her first album. In a recent interview she said, "It's something I really want to nurture. My album will probably be a mix of Stevie Nicks, Melissa Etheridge, and Sheryl Crow meets a little Linda Eder. You can expect everything from horns to electric guitars, a mix of big band with a bit of rock-n-roll."

Sounds like our kind of music - gay gay gay!

She also mentioned that she'll be co-writing all of the songs.

Not a good idea!

Adds Blockey, "Unlike a movie, it's not written for you, so I want to make sure it’s something that really comes from my heart. When I’m ready to release it, you bet I’ll be releasing it in style."

Well let's hope she makes some money cause she might be paying up soon.

Nikki's former managers are suing her and claiming that they never received any payment or royalties after they secured her role on Hairspray.

The former managers are claiming that Nikki and her mom kept all the money and didn't pay up according to their contract. And when their contract ran out a few months before she began filming, they verbally agreed to renew.

Yea, money turns people into greedy bitches!

      The original HAIRSPRAY was better! That is all.

      Why film a movie about Baltimore not in Baltimore when the original was…

      Blockey? Skinny's making you bitchy Perez.

      She's kind of annoying…in every interview I've seen with her, she's always hitting on her male interviewer. Given I've only seen like three, and she's a teenaged girl..but still.

      How the hell did her former managers get her Hairspray the movie? She was the award winning Tracy in Hairspray on Broadway. Uhm the director simply took the person doing the stage production and put her in his movie. Her managers didn't do sh@t

      So, what she's saying is:

    36. 36

      oh no, she is far to fat to be in Hollywood. She had her little moment being in hairspray, but lets not kid ourselves here……fat people arent fun to watch unless they are falling down the stairs



    37. 37

      Love her!

      Nikki is headed for a rude awakening. It doesn't matter how talented she is, she's just to damn fat. If she's serious about singing, she better get gastric bypass surgery before attempting to do this.

      nikki is talented, down to earth and a real sweetheart. she has worked hard for her success and had to endure mean comment like these. she deserves every good thing that has happened to her and i hope its only the beginning of a long and brilliant career!

      I have to say I got the dirt on the blonsky family(not so much niki, but her mom and brother). Obsessive overeaters, rude, and greddy as can be. always trying to get things for FREE, not wanting to pay for anything. Everytime they are visiting LA we know we are in for a terrible time.

      Re: mikes – I agree with you….I think she is great! Leave her alone folks…she radiates something special.

      50

      I mean yeah she's "talented" and Hairspray was cute…and I agree that many on this board are just being mean for the sake of it…but I also agree that realistically…..in hollyweird….this chick really doesn't have a chance to be an "a" list star…unless she lost a shit load of weight. Hollywood is shallow, they define shallow….and this chick has more talent in one leg then Jessica Alba has ever had…but Jessica Alba is way hotter and that makes her way more famous…..a fat woman can't be the leading starlet. Maybe on broadway for a role that calls for a fat woman…but that's it. Plus this chick isn't just fat…she's obese. Like unhealthy obese and it shouldn't be encouraged…

      I love her. People should really get over themselves so what if she's "fat" she's got a good voice.

      She's almost as delusional as Tina Chen if she thinks she can have a singing career. We already have Carny Wilson if we want piggy music.

      I love Nikki! Perez you need to post more about her! Im not crazy about the link name "fat girl sings"…not cool. And she has lost some weight recently and looks fabulous. Shes so talented and im a huge fan! I think its great that shes writing her own music!

    61. cw says – reply to this


      61

      I personally loved nikki in 'Hairspray' and I think that in Hollywood, it shouldn't matter what someone looks like or, more to the point, who someone does not look like. It should matter solely on talent and enthusiasm, both of which she has. :]

      Thank you for posting about Nikki, Perez….Though, you could've thought of a better (and by 'better' I mean 'nicer') title. :)

      I hope that anyone who left a negative ocmment about Nikki wakes up obese one day. You must be tweens who obviously don't have a weight problem.
      Being born with more fat genes is a very very hard thing to deal with.
      It's truly a battle to get the weight off.
      So you can all fuck off and remember…it's called Karma!

      Grow up, people! Personal attacks on someone's weight are so childish. If the people who say such things were a bit more mature, they'd see that happiness and confidence is sexy in and of itself. Nikki seems to have both, and she's very talented as well, and that's the important thing. She wouldn't catch half as much shit for her appearance if she were a man!

    81. Trish says – reply to this


      81

      Grow up and stop making such rude comments about her. She is a very talented actress and she could be very successful, but it's shallow minds like the ones in the mean comments, that prevent women, that are not skinny to have a proper career. It seems that in show biz the only thing that matters is being skinny. I am so disappointed by this mentality…Thank you Perez for posting Nikki, but you could be nicer with the title.

      ya those people defending her are probably the ones that will go and call another celebrity too skinny and bad role model while this one is obviously unhealthily obese and should be considered bad role model

      Nikki and her mom couldn't pay the agents their share because they ATE all of the money away! If this fatass thinks she will have a career in music, she is sorely mistaken. Didn't she lose ANY weight on "DWTS"? Lardass.

      I love how everyone ignores the real issue here, that her management companies claims are bogus, In New York there is the Statute or Frauds, the contract cannot be verbal, it must be in writing. You cannot verbally agree to something like that in NY. This "management" company needs new lawyers.

      99

      I find it funny that all the Americans on here are calling her all sorts of names regarding her being fat when more than half of your country is OVERWEIGHT/OBESE! Which also proves another fact about Americans - you are dumb asses!

      The ones saying it are probably ugly fat slobs themselves! If you have to put down another person just for the sake of it, you can't feel to great about yourself. We can all see she is overweight. That's like laughing at a blind person or handicapped person.

      I really think she does need to lose some weight- not cause she looks fugly, but for her own health.
