An important lesson that more celebrities need to learn is that it’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio—so to speak. When George Clooney was named the world’s highest-paid actor in 2018, it wasn’t because he makes movies. At the time, he hadn’t even made a movie in two years. No, he was the highest-paid actor because he sold his tequila company for $1 billion. It’s probably not because of Clooney, but now Cardi B is looking to explore a new career, and she’s going to do it all on Facebook.

As reported by Deadline, Cardi B is going to be starring in Cardi Tries ____, a series built for the new “Watch Together” feature on Facebook’s Messenger app where you can watch stuff at the same time as your Facebook friends (and, ideally, talk about it while sharing your preferences for online shopping so Facebook gets a little something out of it). In the series, Cardi B will try out various new activities, like being “an expert stunt car racer, ballerina, firefighter, teacher,” and more, with various famous people showing up to help her on her way like Michelle Rodriguez, Debbie Allen, and Damian Lillard (he’s a basketball player, but you obviously knew that already, just like we definitely did). The first episode is available today, and future episodes will be released on Thursdays from now until February 4.

    Shouldn’t we give people shit for signing on with the country that has caused multiple genocides? Or are we gonna let it slide because they’re “favs”?

  • precognitions-av says:

    I dunno, none of those professions seem as radical or as dangerous as her old job as a stripper and escort who would drug and rob men.

    Cool, another show to remind us how woefully unskilled millionaire celebrities are at tasks most people would be able to easily pick up in a few attempts under knowledgeable supervision.

    • callmeshoebox-av says:

      You think people can become “an expert stunt car racer, ballerina, firefighter, teacher,” with just a few attempts? That’s pretty insulting to the people in those professions. 

      • singleuseplastic-av says:

        No, but the average person could probably pick up on a few things from those professionals faster than Cardi B, which is why she is getting a show about herself failing at them and saying “wow, this is harder than I thought”

        • callmeshoebox-av says:

          You go ahead and take a few ballet lessons, then come back and say that. 

          • singleuseplastic-av says:

            All I’m saying is that we don’t need a TV show of a annoying celebrity “learning” to do these things in 8 hours edited down to 23 minutes. You seem to agree but have a stick up your ass, It’s on Facebook so I won’t be watching anyway.

          • callmeshoebox-av says:

            Settle down. We don’t need a lot of shows but they’re there and no one is forcing you to watch it.And I was saving that stick for your Christmas gift.

    What exactly is Cardi qualified to teach besides pole dancing?

  • docprof-av says:

    So it’s Shaq Vs. again. Wonder if he gets an executive producer credit. And then Steve Nash gets an executive producer credit again for Shaq stealing the idea from him.

    Da fuck is FB doing streaming? And yes, I admit to being a middle-aged old, but I still don’t know why Cardi B is…famous? But what is this? And who cares? The era of being famous for being famous is really getting stupid. And that’s saying a hell of a lot in the final years of the Kardashians (may they fuck each other in hell relentlessly in all available holes, including ears and eye sockets).

    • debeuliou-av says:

      Because she is a massively successful singer ?
      I get your kardashian complaint, but you being old and out of touch and not hearing about one of the biggest recording artist of the last decade is kindof a you problem, not a her problem ^^

  • russell0barth-av says:

    I wanna see a show where she goes to a speech therapist

  • schwartz666-av says:

    Well we can all just pray she thinks a “firefighter” is someone who gets into fights while literally on fire. Now that I’d watch!I’m sure silicone & fake hair weaves burn nicely together.
