Tulisa To Star In 'EastEnders' And 5 Other Career Suggestions (And Writing A Novel Isn't One Of Them)

'EastEnders'? Politics? What Next For Tulisa?
|

It's fair to say that things aren't going quite to plan for Tulisa at the moment. She's been replaced on 'The X Factor' judging panel by Sharon Osbourne, her debut album bombed and she's due in court following her arrest on suspicion of being involved in the supply of class A drugs to an undercover journalist.

But just like Paris Hilton, Kerry Katona and Russell Brand before her I reckon there's still a chance for the N-Dubz star to shine with a little bit of reinvention and quite possibly, a large side order of luck.

Tulisa

She's already announced plans to write a novel and had a TOWIE-inspired image makeover but I think she needs to do something a little more radical to really turn things around.

So *puts on career advisor's hat* here's a few suggestions on what I think Tulisa should do next...

1. Get a part on 'EastEnders'

It's a win-win. She's always wanted to get into acting (just don't mention that fake Bollywood movie) and the BBC soap needs the viewers. Well, if she was getting into fights with Kat Moon on a regular basis, you'd be tuning in to watch, right? Right.

2. Become a nun

Former 'EastEnders' star Daniella Westbrook turned to God after she took so many drugs her septum fell out. Cue a book deal and regular appearances on everything from 'This Morning to 'Songs Of Praise'. People love a bad-girl-gone-good almost as much as they love a good-girl-gone-bad, and besides, we reckon T would rock a habit.

3. Go on 'I'm A Celebrity'

Yes she'd get nominated by the GBP to do all of those evil tasks but as she's chowing down on a kangaroo anus without complaint or hysterics (a la Helen Flanagan), she'd win a smidge of respect back from us all. Not enough to buy her next single though. Baby steps people, baby steps.

4. Become a politician

The combination of her 'don't mess' tude, her softer caring 'big sis' side that we witnessed whenever she was around her 'X Factor' acts (especially her 'little muffins' Little Mix), her ability to ram home a point with some impressive desk slapping and the fact she already has a sex scandal under her belt makes her a strong contender for parliament if you ask me (and I got a grade C in Politics A' Level so know ALL about this sort of thing, ok?)

5. Become the female answer to Jeremy Kyle

Well she did say she was 'the role model for Broken Britain'...

6. And if all else fails... marry a footballer

She's already dated one (Danny Simpson, above) and I reckon with her love of Lipsy frocks, hair extensions and going on holiday she'd fit right in with the rest of the WAGs.

2. Allegedly arranging to set up a drugs deal for an undercover reporterTulisa, along with her mate MIke GLC, were arrested after allegedly being caught on camera arranging to help set up a cocaine deal for an undercover reporter working for The Sun, in June 2013.In the footage, Tulisa can allegedly be heard bragging about her connections to the drug world, saying: "Half my phone book sells it. Of course I can get it for you. Half the guys I know are drug dealers. One's a massive cocaine dealer. He's my best friend. He's a gangster - he's my gangster." (credit:Splash)

5. The questionable 'fashion' choicesOK, so the fashion police might not be camped out on Tulisa's doorstep as much as they used to be but since finding fame as part of N-Dubz back in 2008, there's been trackies that look like they've been handed down from Vicky Pollard to diamante encrusted items straight from the back of Katie Price's wardrobe, not to mention THAT flamingo dress she wore to the NTAs.

6. Releasing a rubbish albumIt all could have been so different: Tulisa was one of the most famous people in the country, on the UK's biggest TV show with a No.1 debut solo single under her belt ('Young') but her album. 'The Female Boss' still only managed to limp into the chart at No.35. But 'why?' we hear you cry. Well it wasn't much cop, that's why.

7. Getting into a Twitter spat with Alan SugarTulisa was left fuming after 'The Apprentice' star asked his 2.2million Twitter followers 'who is this bird?' during an episode of 'The X Factor'. Cue a less than impressed Tulisa tweeting: "As someone that came from nothing to something maybe u should have more respect for people that have done the same." She then called him a 't***t'. But it was Lord Sugar who had the last word, tweeting back: "Don't insult me by comparing my humble beginnings with yours." Miaow. (credit:WENN)

8. Accepting a role in a fake filmTulisa was left 'devastated' after a multi-million pound deal to become a Bollywood superstar turned out to be an elaborate hoax. The Sunday People claimed people posing as film executives had promised her £8million to play a sari-clad British girl who moves from London to India. She was even flown around the world by private jet during two months of negotiations but it all turned out to be a massive set up. (credit:PA)
