Abbie Cornish wants to be a rapper.

The RoboCop actress is determined to pursue a career in hip-hop and has admitted she's currently recording an album, which she is hoping to release later this year.

"I'm half-way through it [the album]. I go back into the studio at the end of February. It should be finished soon. It should be released toward the end of the year," she said.

The 31-year-old star takes inspiration from Eminem, but insists her music taste is varied: "My favorite rapper is Eminem. But my music collection goes from classical to jazz to blues. My favorite era is the sixties and seventies. I have a very eclectic taste in music."

However, the blonde beauty insists her studio collection won't contain lots of covers because she prefers to write her own tracks and she's also lined up some collaborations. "I compose and write. I'm working with a lot of producers and musicians," she explained.

Michael Buble to Duet with Reese Witherspoon

Michael Buble is set to duet with Reese Witherspoon. The "Haven't Met You Yet" singer confirmed he will collaborate with the actress - who won an Oscar for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in musical film Walk the Line - for his new studio album.

Michael, 37, revealed he is a fan of the Legally Blonde star and put out feelers to Reese, 36, about recording together for his next record. Asked about the duet, he told ITV1's Daybreak, "By all accounts it would be true. I just really am a big fan, and so myself and my camp, we wanted to do this with her, and we were thrilled that she was excited about it too."

Reese has previously admitted she found the experience of working on Walk the Line - in which she starred opposite Joaquin Phoenix - horrifying, calling it the toughest movie she had ever made: "I had to do four months of rehearsals. I had to learn to play autoharp. I had to take singing lessons. I had to record an album, which was the most challenging, horrifying experience of my life. Me singing in front of people while they're listening to me is just horrifying."

Selena Gomez ‘Halting’ Music Career

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Pop,

Selena Gomez is pausing her music career while she concentrates on acting.

The 19-year-old "Love You Like a Love Song" hitmaker - who recently wrapped filming on comedy Spring Breakers - has decided to put her singing on the backburner while she makes a name for herself in Hollywood.

"I'm just kind of halting music for a bit. [I've] been really focused on more acting. For me it's been fun to take risks and do things that are completely different. To be honest, maybe some of you guys might not be comfortable with it ... I'm still the same person. Things that challenge me really excite me."

But that doesn't mean the former Disney star won't be reuniting with the other members of her band Selena Gomez & the Scene to create more music in the future: "I'm doing another movie called The Getaway with Ethan Hawke. It's really, really exciting. So we're doing that and then hopefully another movie, but that hasn't really been confirmed yet. Then I'll start working on my fourth album, which will be the best album I'll ever do!"
