Whose attempts at pop are worse than Tara Palmer-Tompkinson?
Being a pop star isn't as easy as it looks
- Tara Palmer Tompkinson: Well, we never saw this one coming. London socialite and once-furious cocaine addict Tara Palmer Tompkinson has made a pop bid with her single, '5 Seconds'. Naming it after Twin Shadow's pop epic of the same name was clever - but won't fool anyone.
Unbelievably, Tara Palmer-Tompkinson is releasing a single. Perhaps more believable is the fact that her debut release, '5 Second' is a little rubbish - although not without its own low budget charms.
Whoever told the socialite and former reality TV star this was a good idea is no friend (we're pointing a finger of blame at friend and occasional pop star Duncan James), but Tompkinson is not the first person with more money than sense and a passing interest in the music industry. Some have attempted a pop career off the back of a successful acting career - others because they were simply bored of their enormous wealth.
So, from over-plumped US celebrities to over-paid British footballers, check out the 'stars' who make Tara Palmer-Tompkinson's pop debut look like the second coming of Queen - and let us know if there's anyone worse than these part-time pop stars...
