Reply #16: In all seriousness, she could revive her career as an entertainer.

With name recognition like she has, she will be able to get a camera any time she wants for another couple of years.

It would take tremendous commitment to focus on one goal, develop her talent in that area (whatever area she chooses), and make wise decisions. Her talent was never singing, it was performing. She was a passable sex-kitten dancer, and a fun personality, and a barely passable singer. Careers have been built on much less.

She would have to figure out what she has that an audience would want to see. That little rehearsal-grade dance performance she put on the other night won't do it--that was an insult to the audience. That was the spoiled kid thinking people really did just want to see her. She's got to figure out what they really do want, grow up, sober up, and work on something.

But you can't buy the name recognition she has, and you can't buy the type of sympathy she has from some people. There's a large group of people out there who want to see her succeed, so she has a base audience.

Personally, I don't see anything in her recent actions that indicates she can do it. She's taking the easy road, and has since before her first meltdown and first marriage--or at least that's what it looks like to me, from a distance and from the few tabloid headlines I've read. But she did it once, so somewhere she's got the ability. She just has to get the mindset.
