Matinee 'Idols'

Ruben Studdard, "Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed"

Idol history: Even though he won the “Idol” crown, season two’s “velvet teddy bear” hasn’t matched the success of his contemporaries.

Big screen role: He filled the musical cameo void left by Sugar Ray in “Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.”

Will he ever win an Oscar? Until there’s a category for “most adequately unawkward cameo in a what should have been a direct-to-DVD sequal based on an old cartoon,” we’re afraid not.
