Whether or not the world forgets about Chris Brown and his attack on Rihanna (and they won’t), the Law & Order universe cashed in with “Caleb Bryant” whose alliteration to the R&B superstar was not an accident. The difference in this NBC show is that Rihanna knockoff was beaten to death, but SVU was never known to do anything half assed.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (2013)
Actor:
Eugene Jones III
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for him:
Only if you think Chris Brown was right.
Why you should not vote for him:
It was only one episode that was “ripped from the headlines”.

For our money, one of the most underrated hotties of the 1980’s was Sheena Easton. She looked innocent, but could appear slutty, had a sexy Scottish accent and had an amazing singing voice. On Miami Vice, Easton married Sonny Crockett (Don Johnson) and rather than go into the nonsensical plot, we will state that we loved her role as Caitlin Davies, the successful Pop Singer with a tragic ending.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Miami Vice (1987-88)
Actor:
Sheena Easton
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for her:
We maintain that we made our case for Davies.
Why you should not vote for her:
We admit, it is a horrible case.

A forgotten 1980 film, The Idolmaker follows a busboy’s rise to stardom (Pater Gallagher) under the guidance of a man who wrote the songs, taught him the moves and controlled every facet of his life. It was not exactly a great film, but Gallagher showed how he played the “perfect male” years before anyone really knew who he was. Admittedly, it is a bit of nostalgia that put him on this ballot.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Idolmaker (1980)
Actor:
Peter Gallagher
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for him:
Beyond being a Peter Gallagher fan, we can’t think of a good one.
Why you should not vote for him:
This film did not even reach cult status.

From the sapfest 1988 film, Beaches, we have Bette Midler as C.C. Bloom, an aspiring actress and singer who eventually made it big. The film spans decades, so we do see her rise, but realistically, this film is about her relationship with her best friend (played by Barbara Hershey), and Midler’s singing career is far secondary to that. Still, this generated one of the biggest hits ever in “Wind Beneath My Wings”, and that alone could propel this to a possible induction.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Beaches (1988)
Actor:
Bette Midler
Songs you might remember:
Wind Beneath My Wings
Why you should vote for her:
Midler again showcases that great singing voice; and there was a major hit from this film.
Why you should not vote for her:
We wager that if you are a male, you hated this film.
