A lot of celebrities try to go from end of the business to the other and sometimes it works out very good for them but most times it just doesn’t make sense and totally flops. The Frisky have come up with 13 celebrities who have tried to cross over into the rap game and have failed miserably. Here is 10 of those 13, to see the full list head over to The Frisky .
Spencer Pratt
In 2009, Spencer dropped his first single, “I’m a Celebrity,” and started going by the name The Great White. I guess adding “shark” would have been redundant? The song featured lyrics like, “I’m a celebrity/ Five star everything/ My money is attached to me/ Just like my wedding ring.” Ahh, what a difference two years makes.
Joaquin Phoenix
We weren’t sure what to think when Joaquin announced that he was quitting acting to become a rapper and decided to ditch his razor for, oh, about 365 days. Luckily, we now know that this was all a ruse for a documentary called “I’m Still Here.” Because we don’t think his lyrical flow would have taken him so far.
Jada Pinkett Smith
Jada seems sweet, but beneath that petite exterior beats the heart of a heavy metal rapper. Hey, that’s what marrying Will Smith and having three kids would do to any woman. In 2005, she became the front woman for a rap/metal band called Wicked Wisdom. Here they are performing “Something Inside of Me.”
Mr. T
In 1984, Mr. T released the song “Treat Your Mother Right.” Kids, you can insult the crap out of each other, but he pities the fool who makes a yo’ momma joke. Apparently, Ice-T arranged this track?
Brian Austin Green
We’re still not exactly sure why the makers of “Beverly Hills, 90210” were so insistent on showcasing Brian Austin Green’s vocal and dance skillz on the show. But hey, it brought us incredible moments like this one. I would bet money that Brian himself wrote this song, because in 1996 he released a rap album called One Stop Carnival. Let’s just say the critics didn’t like it as much as they love Brenda’s socks in this video.
John Cena
WWE wrester John Cena liked to drop beats in and out of the ring. In this video for “FU Rap,” he puts the verbal smackdown on Brock Lesnar. For a wrestler, this dude hasn’t got all the sense knocked out of him—he’s kind of a poet. Check out this rhyme: “I’m rockin’ Play Station 2, you can’t figure out Atari.” Oh, snap!
Chet Haze
This face might not be instantly recognizable to you—but this is Chet Haze, aka Tom Hank’s 20-year-old son. A Northwestern student, he did this collegiate-themed take on a Wiz Khalifa track and earned quite a few fans. “It’s not the typical for a hip-hop artist,” he said, when asked about his background. “But it’s 2011. The nature of hip-hop has changed so much the last few years. Nowadays artists come from all walks of life. Everyone has their own story to tell.” He is apparently halfway through making his EP.
David Faustino
I had a crush on David Faustino back in the “Married With Children” days. His shining moment of glory on the show was when he transformed into “Grandmaster B,” Bud Bundy’s rapper alter ego. But like Brian Austin Green, David tried to bring his rapping into real life. In 1992, he released Balistyx and made this video for “I Told Ya.” Oh dear—the earrings.
Ron Jeremy
Porn star Ron Jeremy’s “Freak of the Week” actually managed to find a spot on the Billboard chart. The video features oodles of girls in thongs—plus John Wyane Bobbitt and Joey Buttafuoco. Man, the ‘90s were scary.
Mel Brooks
Mel wants to teach you a history lesson. Back in 1983, the writer/director/producer recorded this number about Hitler, featuring shirtless, dancing Nazis and scantily clad backup singers. I guess he was trying to rehash the “Springtime for Hitler” climax of “The Producers?” This was all for his movie “To Be or Not to Be.” Luckily, his rapping career never was.
I really wish celebrities would stick to the things they are good at instead of doing anything to make a bit of money. Although all of these do bring me a bit of amusement.
As we all know Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are so broke they are on the verge of filing bankruptcy but there is hope for them because they have just received an offer for a whopping $100,000.
The only catch is they would have to leave the country and move to Costa Rica, where they would have to get a real job. Betting website YouWager.com have offered the couple the chance to move countries and “manage the odds and lines surrounding the entertainment sector, ranging from celebrity news and pop culture to music and movies.”
Sources tell TMZ that Spencer is of course considering the idea but only if he can legally own a gun there because of the recent political trouble going on between Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
Let’s all cross our fingers and pray that these two dimwits take this offer up and move away.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are apparently on the verge of filing for bankruptcy after they blew over $10 million they made from working on The Hills and other projects.
How did they spend all that money? Well they spent $3 million on Heidi’s flop of a music career, they rented out a $35,000 a month house in Malibu, they spent hundreds of thousands on Heidi’s surgeries, bought six cars, rented private jets and finally all of his healing crystals.
The couple, who claim that they owe $2 million in taxes, claim to be now living in Spencer’s parents guesthouse (which is a studio apartment) and that his parents are paying for their grocery’s. Spencer says…
“We were immature, worrying too much about the famous part instead of the actual business part, In hindsight, we shouldn’t have spent any of our money. We should have been low-key and saved. We spoke with a bankruptcy attorney and I’ve looked into unemployment checks.
We thought The Hills was going to be like 90210 and we’d have another five to 10 years, The ratings were consistent. But we never saw Jersey Shore coming. Before, TV audiences were fine with seeing us all argue, but now they want you to punch one another in the face and hook up with three different people. Our cast was a bit boring and snoozeworthy in comparison. No wonder we got canceled.”
I never know what to believe with these two, although they are so stupid I wouldn’t put it past them to spend that much money.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were said to be getting divorced on Valentine’s Day but then they were spotted in Costa Rica together.
Now they’ve been spotted kissing each other on Heidi’s birthday in Santa Barbara while she flashed off her wedding ring. I guess this proves that the whole divorce thing was more attention seeking.
Heidi Montag was photographed in Costa Rica on Saturday (she’s back in L.A. today), and it looks like she was about to fall out of her bathing suit top.
With Spencer’s apology to Heidi, and hints of their divorce being canceled — I’ve about had enough.
