Beyonce Taking on New Role
Posted on Thu Feb 21, 2008 08:30 AM PDT
Beyonce, in New York with boyfriend Jay-Z, has been tapped to play legendary singer Etta James in a new biopic about the star's life, according to Page Six.
Although Etta was at first a bit wary about the Dreamgirl stepping into the admitted former heroin addict's shoes, not only because Beyonce was a bit too "bourgie" to play the bad-girl, but that Etta wasn't convinced she could sound like the bluesy songstress.
It was Etta's son that convinced her otherwise, saying "they're thinking about how she looks, but mama, she can really sing!'"
We're not so sure about her acting skills, but after her performance with Tina Turner on the Grammys, we're fairly certain Beyonce could sing anything!
Now what we really want to know is when she'll be taking on the role of Mrs. Shawn Carter!

i agree with etta.Its a bad move for her to play etta .Thye should have put paris from the last a.m.i.she sounds more like her
She was said to be fond of internet recently. Some of her fans found her on a millionaire&celebs club BillionaireCupid.com. She has a personal account there with her pictures, blog...In her friend circle, some other stars can be found there.
This nig needs to go away, she ain't shit
ELEQUENTLY PUT BI-BABE !!!!!!!!!
FOURTH !!!!!!!!!!!
I, too, agree it is a bad move.
I don't think she's that good an actress.
On top of which it will go straight to her head and she will become even more full of herself.
bi-babe, you're bloody boring.
sucks being you bi-babe
sucks being FAKE bi-babe. what with fake being at WAR and all. LMAO!!! ignore fake bi. he just wants everyone to hate the real bi-babe. (now he'll say BUT I AM THE REAL BI, yeh, on and on. so predictable and boring.)
Uh no. Her performance at the Grammy's proved she had no soul in her voice and just knows how to hit notes. At age 70 Tina's pipes and passion made Beyonce seem like a mickey mouse club member.
She will make Etta into a cartoon character with her acting and ruin the power of Etta's voice with her singing. What a fucking bad idea to cast her in this role.
Beyonce and Jay Z are both talented. Better to see their mugs than Lohan - again - at Villa or Ivy - or posing nude - or showing her puss - or going to rehab again - or crashing her car a couple of times - or getting snapped basically overdosing - and it goes on. These two are flawless compared to Lohan, Brit, Simpsons, Hilton, DJ whatever, etc..
this has to be a bad joke but then anything is possible in hollyweird
oh i get it Hollywood has yet to acknowledge thug culture by association how progressive of them
he only keeps her around so he can get invited to the oscars
Wow what a gentleman, he's only ten feet ahead of her with his hands in his pocket.Also, why is she wearing an outfit better suited for her mom? Her fashion taste sucks. The fashions from House of Dereon look cheap and gaudy. If I ran into her in the street I wouldnt look twice.
To princesswhatever
I agree with you 100%. She will over act and ruin the movie.
what do they mean Beyonce may be to
Bourgie to play a bad girl?,what is the
significance of that name Bourgie?
^ i agree she is not an actress poor black actresses it's already difficult for them to find roles Anyway beyonce can sing but whoever said her music has no soul is right.

He is no freaking gentleman, another man has to open the door for her as he just walks in front of her. The other guy has a look on his face like, dude open the door for your chic.
GHETTO- AND NOT FABULOUS. JAYZ SUCKS AND SO DOES 40/40 - GHETTO THUGS SHOULD NOT GET PAID FOR BEING CRIMINALS.....
Beyonce is not a good actree, she is not even that good of a singer, she always like to over do things and I agree that it is a bad move for them to let her play Etta James. I know she so badly wants to play someone so as to over sing and see if she could win an oscar just like Jennifer Hudson. She is not good and her time is running out. I give her another year and it's over. I bet Jay Z her ugly boyfriend is not going to marry her, he will only use her and dumb her like a used rag. Beyonce Knowles, better beware and go and hide for sometime. We are sick of seeing ur face all over the place. I guess u will be better appreciated if you don't try to do it all
being black is about the only similarity....but dont tell beyonce she is black...shes still in denial about it,
The reason your not so sure of her acting skills is because she keeps playing some version of herself in pretty much every movie she's done. Always playing a singer. Who can tell if she can act. She needs to get some guts like Timberlake and try something far away from who she is.
he acts like he doesn't want to be seen with her, he's disgusting punching a woman in the face on video
She looks great and she is a natural beauty. I have seen a profile with some sexy pictures on interracialloves.com looks like her very much–it is a niche interracial dating service. Is she seeking for fun, love or something else??
Hussein Obama is a muslim AND a rapper!
Barack might have the power to end racism....but, his never vote before "Im gonna vote for him b/c he is black" not b/c he might make a good president...make me wish i lived somewhere else. Quit your whining...if you gave a damn you would vote TRUE...not based on race. Black people are ONLY gonna vote for the first time ever ONLY b/c we have an awesome candidate who happens to be black. HOW RACIST IS THAT???? GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!
princesswhatever u betta watch ur speak when u talk about beyonce hun because her and tina turner turned that show out they had the best performence stop hatin hun

SHE GOT THE PART SO THAT COUNTS FOR SOMETHING....DANG.....QUIT HATING ON THE GIRL... GET A LIFE....GO TO SCHOOL....GET A JOB....MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF YOURSELF BEFORE YOU TRY TO DOWN SOMEONE ELSE. WOW YOU GUYS HAVE TO LOVE HER TO THINK OF ALL THIS MESS....IF YOU DON'T THINK SHE'S A GOOD ACTRESS THEN THAT'S FINE, BUT I ADMIRE HER BECAUSE SHE DON'T QUIT SHE KEEPS TRYING IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. SHE'S GOING TO GET THAT OSCAR ONE DAY YOU'LL SEE!
Stop hating on that girl. She's making it happen, hommie followed her dream and listen to excellent advice. She is beautiful, successful, young and she has plenty of people that loves her. Which is more than what half of you fools can say about yourselves. On another note Jay-z would have been a fool not to have married her. Personal and business wise. Those two are a power couple. White people do it. That's how they stay rich. So Stop hating. I agree with the pervious person, Get a life. Go make some money. P.S. I think she is a naturally down to earth person.
So Be. good luck and I wish you the best of luck.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
