Cimorelli Goes ‘Pitch Perfect’ With ‘Cups’

The actress has released her music video for the remixed version of “Cups (When I’m Gone).” In it, she adds percussion to the track by tapping on a cup and clapping her hands, just as her character did in the hit film, as she works in a small-town diner.

But it’s not just Anna. As she walks around the place delivering food and picking up dirty dishes, the customers are also playing cups to the beat of the song.

Is ‘Pitch Perfect’ Star Anna Kendrick Releasing an Album?

“The ‘Cups’ song that I did in Pitch Perfect became surprisingly popular for a one-minute A cappella song and someone had the idea to add some instrumentals to it,” Anna recently told Entertainment Tonight. “Then Jason Moore, the director of Pitch Perfect, said, ‘Hey, here’s a crazy idea … we can make a music video for it.’”

It was announced at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday that there will be a Pitch Perfect 2.

But one of the most pivotal moments of the movie is when stars of the film Anna Kendrick and Brittany Snow share a steamy scene together, literally, in the dorm shower. For most actresses shooting nude scenes can be daunting, but Anna describes that day on the set as “the best day of my life.”

Anna says she was nervous until Brittany stripped down into her birthday suit, and things started to get hot.. and we mean incredibly hot. But literally hot, not sexy hot. Sorry guys! Anna explained the moment to On Air with Ryan Seacrest saying:

“When we were disrobing, I though ‘this is awful’ but by the end of the day, it got so hot and humid, I was loving it.”

For those of you going to see Pitch Perfect this weekend, make sure to tweet your thoughts on the steamy shower scene to @RyanSeacrest.

What Was Anna Kendrick’s Favorite Song to Sing in ‘Pitch Perfect?’

She’s obviously got the chops for a music career, so does she have any plans to release an album? “I’m not considering doing that, because of industry rule #4080…record company people are shady,” she tells us. Anna is paraphrasing a line from “Check the Rhime” by 90s rap legends A Tribe Called Quest.

Did Anna Actually Sing In Pitch Perfect?
“I did. We worked pretty hard. I sang all the stuff that you see on screen and when I’m singing alone I wanted to sing live as much as possible. So, anytime that I am singing on my own I’m singing live.”

What Was Anna’s Favorite Song?
“My favorite song to sing was ‘No Diggity,’ because that is secretly my jam,” admits Anna. So, did she know the 90s hit before she had to sing it in the movie? “Yeah, they did not have to teach me that song. There was a bunch of songs that I didn’t know that well or songs that you heard on the radio that you think you know, then you kind of have to learn the actual lyrics. But ‘No Diggity’ was just really fun.”

The Riff-Off
In “Pitch Perfect” there is a great “riff-off” scene, where teams of girls are going back and forth singing the lyrics to one song, then combating each other with the lyrics to another song, and all the songs have to stay within the same theme. So, Ryan and Anna decided to have their own riff-off. Listen to the full interview below to hear them go back and forth with “Titanium,” “The Sign,” and of course, “No Diggity.”
