Jordin Sparks isn't the first "American Idol" star to step away from the reality boob tube and give Hollywood a go, and she won't be the last. Her loosely biographical movie "Sparkle" — also featuring the late Whitney Houston, Mike Epps and Cee-Lo Green — is but the latest instance of an "Idol" star getting a close-up on the big screen.
The movie successes of Sparks' predecessors in "Idol" alumni-hood have been a mixed bag of total wins and, well, sheer embarrassment. So, how will the season six-winning songstress' flick fare?
Let's compare "Idol" in Hollywood notes to find out.
Jennifer Hudson
While Season 3's winner (Fantasia Barrino) has had very little luck in the Hollywood spotlight, its the seventh-placer who serves as the lodestar example of an "Idol" alum making movie magic happen for herself. In 2006, she starred in the movie musical "Dreamgirls" and took home Hollywood's highest honor, an Academy Award,...

Many moons ago (November, 2007, to be exact), we first told you about an upcoming "satirical werewolf film" called Howl that was gearing up for production.
The title referred to the surname of the lead character, John Howl, a mixed-up cop/werewolf who's obsessed with the Eighties and hot on the trail of a murderer in Hollywood. The script was written by Clint Morris, and the talent in talks for various roles included Eric Stoltz, Stephen Tobolowsky, Kam Heskin, Powers Boothe, and Muse Watson.
Now, several months later, we heard back from Morris, who pointed us in the direction of his blog, Caffeinated Clint on Moviehole.net. It seems the project, now renamed First Howl (the artwork on your right is from our earlier story), didn't quite make its planned February 14th, 2009, start date due to current economic conditions. As Clint explains it, "The company in charge of the pic, and...

It's already been made into a classic 1940 movie and a handful of miniseries and has gone Bollywood in the upcoming "Bride and Prejudice". Now Jane Austen's enduring comedy of manners has been given a Mormon makeover (albeit one with "Legally Blonde" extensions) in a colorful but clunky modern-day adaptation by Scottish native Andrew Black.
Originally called "Pride & Prejudice: A Latter-Day Comedy," the Utah-based edition has clearly looked to "Clueless", Amy Heckerling's cleverly updated take on Austen's "Emma", for inspiration, but awkward comic timing and uneven performances spoil the desired effect.
Distributed by Salt Lake City-based Excel Entertainment, which made its name with its successful 2000 release of the more serious Mormon-themed "God's Army", the PG-rated picture is unlikely to draw much attention outside the LDS arena.
To its credit, the picture has a winning Elizabeth Bennet in Kam Heskin, who has been brought up to date as a college student and aspiring novelist trying to focus her priorities in a houseful of ditzy roommates.
Distraction arrives in the forms of rogue charmer Jack Wickham (Henry Maguire) and the unpleasantly Frank Will Darcy (Orlando Seale), and young Elizabeth ultimately learns a thing or two about judging a book by its cover.
Despite sparkling work by Heskin, Seale and Hubbel Palmer as the pompous Collins, the picture gets flattened by Black's efforts to pile on every tired romantic comedy convention.
Even a former "American Idol" finalist gets tossed into the eager-to-please mix, with Carmen Rasmusen playing a part in the film as well as performing her dance single, "Be With You".
