FURTADO'S FILM WORK MAKES HER A BETTER STAR

PROMISCUOUS singer NELLY FURTADO credits a series of failed movie projects for helping her to perfect her performance skills as a pop star.

Nelly Furtado at the recording of CD USA episode 22 and 23 held at the Tribune Studios. Hollywood, California- 15.06.06

The Canadian singer has taken a handful of acting classes so she's ready for her big break - and she insists her video work is much better as a result.

She says, "Acting's taught me a lot that I've used already in performance, videos, photo shoots, and even in the studio. I didn't learn anything about television until I came into the business.

"I wasn't in the MICKEY MOUSE CLUB (like BRITNEY SPEARS and CHRISTINA AGUILERA) - no disrespect. When I came out, all my peers had been in the Mickey Mouse Club. I didn't know anything about camera cues or posture."

Furtado has recently pulled out of Iraq War drama NOBODY'S HERO due to commitments with her pop career.
