Heidi, Heidi, Heidi — do you really think you can be the next Britney, Christina or Lady Gaga?
Apparently she does, because the reality star spent $2 million on a music career that failed to take off, according to RadarOnline. But now, Heidi Montag claims she’s been given a second chance to fulfill her dreams.
The aspiring singer, 24, says she has hired Deb Antney, mother of rapper Waka Flocka Flame, as her new manager. “I spent $2 million on my music career, and it didn’t happen for me, and now I have this opportunity,” Montag said.
Her new opportunity comes thanks to husband Spencer Pratt‘s reported new career as a rapper. This is LOL-worthy in itself.
“Spencer is going into the studio with Waka Flocka Flame, and I requested that his mother Deb Antney meet with me and manage me, because she is just fabulous,” she said. Antney currently works with top stars, including Nicki Minaj and Gucci Mane, through her Atlanta-based company, Mizay Entertainment.
Montag hopes she can use this second chance in the music industry to let people in on the “real Heidi” — not the person they saw on reality TV.
“I’ve never been able to be the true Heidi, and now that I am not working on ‘The Hills,’ I can really focus on this.”
She’s also looking to teaming up with others in the business.
“While Spencer is working with Waka Flocka, I’m going to do some tracks with [jazz singer] Eric Nolan Grant,” she said. They are reportedly working together in the studio later this month.
Montag claims she has what it takes to make it and she’s looking to make a mark in the music industry.
“I want to make my own niche in the music world, that’s just Heidi,” she said. “It could be a Pink meets Britney Spears.”
What a complete waste of everyone’s time and money.
One of the top stories coming out of last night’s Super Bowl wasn’t the Green Bay Packers win [I'm still trying to plot to cut Matthews' nasty hair], it wasn’t the lackluster commercials [though I totally want a VW thanks to the little Darth Vader kiddo] and it wasn’t the horrendous excuse of a half time show with the Black Eyed Peas. Seriously…why are they still relevant?!
Most likely, you’re going to hear about Christina Aguilera‘s debacle as she fumbled her way through the Star Spangled Banner [see video].
Sadly, Christina isn’t the first celebrity to turn our nation’s proud anthem into a train wreck. And she certainly won’t be the last.
Here’s a look at some of the company that Christina now keeps, as a result of this memorable flub.
1. Roseanne
It was July 26, 1990 at the Padres game. Not only did she sound like a dying cat trying to escape the bowels of a grand piano, she grabbed her crotch and spit after being boo’ed by thousands of baseball fans. Way to keep it classy.
2. Michael Bolton
After singing the line “O’er the ramparts we watched” Michael Bolton completely blanks out and freezes. After a quick glance to the cheat sheet in his hand and an awkward silence, he gets the anthem back on track with a slight grin from the Coast Guard standing behind him. Perhaps Mr. Bolton should stick to Time, Love and Tenderness?
3. Keri Hilson
The R&B artist was invited to sing the anthem at an Atlanta Hawks game where she proceeded to chop off part of a verse here and there to create her own version of the Star Spangled Banner. Way to take your creative license a little too far, darlin’.
4. R. Kelly
Yet another artist who felt that the anthem was open to creative interpretation. Now, I’m all for adding your own personal flair to our nation’s anthem, but his R&B remix trying to get the audience to clap along was taking it a bit too far.
5. Hillary Clinton
When Hillary’s campaign trail led her to Iowa she failed to realize her mic was on during the Star Spangled Banner. What was recorded was a lazy, off-key, half-hearted performance that left the public mocking her for weeks.
6. Anita Baker
Last year, legendary jazz singer Anita Baker hit a bad note with the national anthem during game 4 of the NBA Finals. If you listen closely, you can hear Randy Jackson in the background saying “Aww dawg, that’s so pitchy.” The Twitterverse had a field day with Ms. Baker throughout the rest of the series.
7. Jesse McCartney
When the teen pop singer performed our anthem at a NASCAR race in 2009, he goofed by singing “…by the dawn’s early light, whose brought stripes and white stars…” skipping an entire line. The announcer actually said “If he wasn’t so cute, I’d be angry.” REALLY?!
8. Mike Eli
In December 2010, Mike Eli of the Eli Young Band completely blanked on the lyrics while singing the anthem at a Kansas City Chiefs game. He quickly went on the record profusely apologizing for the brain fart, citing it as an embarrassment and hopes that the next time he can blow everyone away. Yeah. Something tells me there will be no next time, kiddo.
9. Tyrese Gibson
In 2009, the singer/actor/model/rapper/Mtv VJ/anthem butcherer reworded the anthem’s lyrics to sing “that our Lakers were still there” instead of “that our flag was still there.” Sadly, the crowd at the Staples Center went on to cheer the rendition. Disrespectful all around. Why do people find this necessary?!
10. Carl Lewis
Oh the performance we all want to forget…but can’t. Not only did Carl Lewis forget the lyrics and sing horrendously off-key…he actually had the audacity to stop mid-anthem and talk for a moment stating “Uh oh, I’ll make up for it now!” before delivering the final line. Stick to the track, Carl.
Gwyneth Paltrow proved her country chops at the 44th Annual CMA Awards, where she sang the title track to her new movie, ‘Country Strong.’
The Oscar-winner gave an impressive performance, strumming an acoustic guitar while Vince Gill joined on rhythm guitar and harmony.
Gwyneth initially battled nerves and some discernible technical issues with audio equipment but triumphed by mid-song, gaining better vocal ground and managing to appear a lot more confident.
In ‘Country Strong,’ Paltrow plays Kelly Canter, a living legend in the music biz who is sidelined by alcoholism. Tim McGraw plays her manager/husband, who pulls her out of rehab in an attempt to resurrect her career with a comeback tour.
Jenna Jameson was recently interviewed and mentioned she had been in the studio, as in music studio. That’s right, Jenna is singing and about to release an album!
How did you get involved with singing?
I got involved with singing early on while living in Vegas. I was a member of a play company that required everyone to sing and dance. I always loved dancing, and was classically trained, but singing was something I really never pursued. Now that I am finally pursuing it, I am extremely excited, and a little nervous. I do my best work when I’m nervous…
What are you going to be putting out?
My first single is a collaboration, I cannot talk about the specifics yet, but My producer, Jud Mahoney, is incredibly talented… And I love working with him. I will be announcing the other artists on my track very soon.
Is this going to be a second career?
I’m not sure if this is going to be a second career, I think that depends on whether my fans accept me as a singer, and by my music. So, I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Why didn’t they ask what kind of music, rap?

Above is a clip from “Eli Stone” of Katie Holmes trying way too hard to bring the sexy while bouncing around and shrieking.
“She does a song-and-dance number that is the best one we’ve ever done,†costar Matt Letscher has said. “We’ve done tons of [musical numbers], and she was just phenomenal.â€
If you’re going to watch it, turn the volume WAY down. There’s nothing phenomenal about it.
