Rock Star, Movie Star, Porn Star

This is very simple - if given the choice to become a) a rock star b) a movie star or c) a porn star, which would you choose to be? Why?

You can only pick one!

Oh, I should make this clear - "rock star" can be synonymous with 'pop star' or 'hip hop star' or any other kind of mega-famous musician.

Movie star, and I'm not telling you why.

For me, the answer is very obvious - I'd be a rock star, that would be a great gig, especially since I write songs and love to sing.

My only interest in being involved in cinema is as a filmmaker, so that's out, and I wouldn't want to be involved in porn.

Movie star, but a movie star like Allison Janney. Because I fucking love her.

Sorry about the profanity. It seems I can never just say, "I love Allison Janney."

Porn star, but with a movie star like Allison Janney. Because I love fucking her.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Honestly, though...I'd say rock star. If only because I'm already a singer in a band. It's easier that way.

No choice really...it would have to be Rock Star. Even though out of the three, Rock Stars probably make the least money...

But there would be lots of travel, which is mad cool. And lots of music.

And whisk(e)y! Woo!

Yeah, I'd be a Rock Star, and bring great music to the peoples, and maybe get some kickass jewelry out of it, a couple of guitars and hopefully enough money to buy a tiny studio so as to make more great music.

Rock star. Then people would listen to my political views. And stuff.

Rock Star. It seems between the three it has the most freedom.

I mean, as a movie star, you'd always have people telling you how to do your scenes. "No, no, no! You're doing it all wrong. I want to see more emotion! I want tears!"

As a porn star, it's about the same as the movie star, you have little creative freedom. "Emotion people! Don't shout out Oh, god yes! like that. I want to feel it! It should be more like, Oh god yes! Give it to me harder, baby! I want it to be more frantic. Take less breaths between each time you say it!"

As a rock star, at least I'd have some creative freedom, I would hope. That and people wouldn't be very surprised when my life ends up spiraling out of control because of the drugs, alcohol, and loose women.

b) a movie star

because it would involve the least amount of physical effort and I'm a lazy fucker. I would remake all Joan Crawford's greatest movies with gowns, hair and art direction by Miss Persephone.

Ganesh and I were recently photographed in fetish gear in qx (London gay) magazine but I doubt we could parlay a porn star career out of it. Well ol' trunk boy probably could... He is blessed with more than his share.

Movie Star. Or preferably TV star, since that would involve the least travel.

Rockstar.

Because I was born to rock.

Cock-rockingly well.

Of course, in the later days of hedonistic excess, I could always tkae over where Mr Greenstreet left off, and have a crack at movie star, too.

Rock star, because if done properly (cf: Motley Crue) it can encapsulate all the preferable extras of movie (porn or otherwise) stars.

So, I'd choose to be Vince Neil, specifically.

...shoot me.

Rock Star, Movie Star and Porno Star... You know, like Madonna...

If you're a Rock Star, you can probably get laid nearly as much as a Porn Star does, and with people of your own choosing, to boot! Plenty of Rock Stars have gone on to become Movie Stars, too. A Rock Star's life is the life for me!
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

I am a rock star.

I'd be a rock star or a disco pop goddess.

Shake that booty. Shake that booty. You can't help it: shake that booty!

This is the easiest question I've ever answered.

Rock n' roll already owns my soul etc.

"Rock star, probably. Unfortunately I can't sing and don't play any musical instruments"

when has that ever been a prerequisite for being a rock star?
 
 
yawn - thing's buddy
16:29 / 01.03.03
film star.

easy fuckin choice.

Count Adam: fair enough - would be nice to be able to do one or the other though, especially if I was going to have a long-lasting and successful career..

Movie star.

Then rock star, because deep down I need to express my jealousy of Kevin Bacon.

Rock star because it sounds like more fun. I did extra work and concluded that I hate location shoots... hey let's all do the scene five times over because Amanda can't get her tone of voice right! Yay! I reject porn for the same reason so rock is the only thing left for me. Plus trashing a hotel room - gotta be done - sounds like fun!!

I hope the first hotel I stay in as a rock star is one next to a river so I can copy John Bonham by sitting in the window and fishing for tv sets.
