Pop Stars Becoming Film Stars Examined

Jonathan Takiff of the Philadelphia Daily News profiled the continuing tend of pop stars crossing over into film. Takiff examined the successes and failures of Mandy Moore, Mariah Carey, *NSYNC, Britney Spears, and Madonna. Takiff said, “Even though ‘Glitter’ and ‘On the Line’ bombed badly at the box office and soundtrack chart, and the advance word on Spears’ road trip isn’t promising much besides the chance to see the pop queen in a wet T-shirt, these low-budget films are all likely to recoup their relatively slight investments through home video, airline and TV showings.”
