I think this is the new thing for pop idols to do. I was amazed last week to see my favourite pop singer, Will Young, starring in a new TV drama series. An interesting post, Jimmy.

He goes with ventures that help him to earn. I think he is into publishing and the stock market too.

I saw the movie Gun, though cannot say anything in regards of his acting. I would say it was on avegare level. Anyway, sorry I only said this. I was never (and probably never will be) interested in rap and similar stuff …

I’m glad he is getting into television and film that is where the money is.
