Actress NIA LONG has slammed pop stars who launch a movie career - insisting they should stick to singing.
The Big Momma's House actress has hit out at multi-talented stars like Beyonce Knowles who have swapped the recording studio for a film set.
She is adamant it's wrong for singers to make the move into cinema - because they're simply utilised to draw a bigger audience.
Asked by British magazine Pride what she thought of Knowles' acting abilities, Long said: "I didn?t see Obsessed, so I can?t comment, but it?s just not about how talented you are anymore. It?s about, ?How much box office revenue will this person generate?? When you see certain people - we won?t name names - they just don?t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ?You need acting classes'.
"If you?re a singer not an actress, you should sing. If you?re a rapper, you should rap. If you take time to develop your craft, God bless you. Jamie Foxx is an example of both (actor and singer).? (KD/CBF/ZN)
