Minnie Driver: Heiress Alt-Country Singer



The 3AM Girls note that as far as UK sales go, that whole Minnie Driver, country singer thingie with the whole trailer park angle ... it maybe wasn't such a hott idea:

"WE hope Minnie Driver isn't planning to give up the day job any time soon.

"Everything I've Got In My Pocket, the actress's debut single, is currently at number 37 in the mid-week chart, after selling a measly 546 copies.

"A music biz insider said: 'I don't think many people are aware that Minnie is trying to make the switch from film to music, and if they are they're certainly not buying into it. It'll be a miracle if she makes the top 30 - it's a total disaster.'

"Earlier this year Minnie signed a �1million deal with music giant EMI. Talk about money down the drain."

The street release date in the US is October 5th. The Corsair cannot wait for his copy. The Corsair is always on the lookout for a good cosy for his "evening constitutional" (wink-wink-- AKA, The Cutty Sark).
