At Last…..

Posted by Bossip Staff

Here’s some shots of your girl Bey on the set of Cadillac Records. Although she doesn’t look one d@mn bit like Etta James and her acting isn’t really hittin’ it, aren’t you curious to see this movie? With a cast including Cedric the Entertainer, Gabrielle Union, and Mos Def we think this might be another Dreamgirls, read: Bey still won’t touch an Oscar.

Check out the talented cast below.

There’s a few more up under that thang including one of Bey bent over a pool table. You can can’t help but

    THAT’S NOT REALLY A GOOD CAST…


  3. Girl don’t look nothing like Etta…but she still looks good…

  4. Ermy Erm

    what the hell?

  5. tara

    yeah congratulation to her .but i think she fell very empty in her love . and yesterday . when i got to http://www.bigbisexual.com , and check my emails there . i found she also had a profile there . as we all known . that site is a dating site . i dont know why ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  6. Lisa

    Top 5! The thing wil Beyonce is, as long as she stays under the radar and doesn’t mess the movie up with her acting, she’s done a great job.

  7. K-mia

    I really hope her acting has improved

  8. Elegance1981

    Another last ditch effort by Beyonce to snag an Oscar nomination. I’ll wait until this one comes to DVD. Her acting is very bland an emotionless.

    I might become a believer if she plays something other than a “singer”.

  9. mzsweetface

    I think i’ll p***** on this movie.

  10. Aunt Viv

    I’ll support her in spirit, not with my money. I’m sure the bootleg will be a hit!

  11. Aunt Viv

    Hey K-mia!

  12. so obvious

    she shouldnt even be focused on winning an oscar with only a few movies under her belt. Actors work for years and star in several movies before ever winning, not to mention they are way more talented than she is. She is very self absorbed to think she could’ve gotten an oscar for dreamgirls. I remember a quote saying her false eyelashes made a better impact on the movie than she did.

  13. K-mia

    Hey Aunt Viv!!


  14. I would’ve liked to see queen or someone else do this role that has the acting chops but i hope bey pulls it off (not). I am *****ed that she is going to play

    Eartha Kitt as well. There are plenty of African American Actress who could do this

  15. pm

    she’s an overacheiver so the more she is told she is bad at something the hard she works. I bet anything she will win an oscar one day. I will rent from blockbuster sorry bey.

  16. Hannibal

    IF THREE 6 MAFIA CAN WIN AN OSCAR, SO CAN BEYONCE…

  17. dayg715

    she’s about to make a fool out of herself , yet again. this girl is a worse actress than mariah carey.

    @a. keys….

    she’s not playing eartha kitt. that’s just a rumor.

  18. B'More

    she needs to worry about keeping her album from flopping instead of trying to be an actress.

  19. $moK.E.Y.

    i see not in the slightest resembelance

    but u know she had star power (Beyonce) and this will bring alot of people out

    to see her in the movie. Rather then cast an actress who resembles and acts to fit the role

    ITS NOT ABOUT TALENT ITS ABOUT CELEBRITY

  20. Da R

    LMAO oscar????

    she stands as much chance of getting an oscar than mariah carey does. LMAO.

  21. LAW AND ORDER

    HOW DOES HER NON-ACTIN ***** KEEP GETTING ACTING JOBS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    DID SHE MAKE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL?

    I MEAN REALLY,WITH ALLLLL OF THE TALENTED BLACK ACTRESSES IN HOLLYWEIRD.

    OH THATS RIGHT,THIS CASTING WAS 4 NAME ONLY.

    I GUESS THE PRODUCERS THINK JUST BECAUSE BEYAWNCE IS IN IT,PEOPLE WILL FLOCK 3 SEE THIS MOVIE.

    SAD :(

  22. so obvious

    bet you she doesnt win one…and if she does it will be for a song like three six mafia, not for her acting

  23. Glade

    Black people are HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. LAW AND ORDER

    GLADE IS AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. Hannibal

    @GLADE

    I AGREE…

  26. Is it that serious?

    I look at the type of life Beyonce is living, then I read ya’lls comments and can only imagine the type of life ya’ll living. Unless you’re a struggling actress, it ain’t that serious.

  27. Is it that serious?

  28. @dayg715

    Thank-you


  29. The DVD will be out soon.

  30. nonos

    B an oscar….after the 2nd coming of jesus….but peeps lets go buy her album whenever it comes out cos its going to flopp…..we cant watch another afr amer go down as we did with Usher…. britt is back and her vid on Youtube has been watched by more than 6 mill ppl already….lets pray that B will call Neyo for rescue

  31. D@ Pop3

    WELL IF U CANT ACT AND ALL..I WONDER HOW DID SHE GET THE PART??

  32. The_Truth

    ***How is Beyonce not an ICON?? Explain that. . .when’s the last time a african-american singer had this level popularity. . .Janet Jackson’s movie roles didn’t get this level of attention.

  34. WeStKoaSt

    Actors rarely ever look like the people they portray. Remember the Temptations movie? *****ody looked like any of the Temptations except for Leon when he played David Ruffin.


  35. Whats going on with her other movie she finished???

  36. Oh Please

    @The_Truth…I have to check you right there, because Janet’s “Poetic Justice” DID in fact get this level of attention. We just didn’t have the internet back in the early ’90s for people to see people’s reaction in plain view. And why is it that black people are the only ones that are considered “haters.” Go to Perez Hilton . com and you’ll see that white folks are “haters” as well. Plus, an opinion doesn’t automatically make you a hater. I swear they need to bury that word along with the N word. Ugh.

  37. Lady elle

    I hope she can pull it off because from the things i’ve read Etta james was a piece of work….quite gully I might add.

    Can B take off her nice outfit and out on the gully gear? If she can’t than this film will suck.

  38. KSH

    I will wait for the DVD. Beyonce acting is hard enough to watch. All I want her to do is sing and dance. Leave the acting to the actresses!

  39. m

    i think Kat De Luna looks like Etta James

  40. kahmmillion

    She looks like a damn fool………

  41. kevwebb "Got a Bop like this, Can't wear skinny jeans 'cause my knots don't fit"

    I might wait til this joint hits the dvd, or a bootleg comes out. Don’t think I’ll catch this @ the Movies. And I’m a moviehead!

  42. ThePureOne

    Beyonce’ is a beautiful woman and she can sing her ***** off. With that being said, if I were Etta James, I would be mad that a seasoned “actress” isn’t playing my part. Beyonce’ can barely talk and her attempts to act have all sucked.

  43. Princess Aokie Lee aka BDR

    Why is it when an opinion is broached by a black person that is not favorable it has to equal, hate?

    I don’t think Beyonce is a good actress but I admire her voice and her entertainment capabilities.

    Why must that make me a hateful person?

    I think someone like Tisha Campbell, Jasmine Guy, Tichina Arnold should be playing the role of Eartha Kitt, Aretha Franklin and other entertainers. These women can ACT, SING and DANCE.

  44. I'm Just Me- Buffalo Bills (5-1) WE GOT MIAMI NEXT!!!!

    I love Mos Def. I absolutely loved him in Lackawanna Blues.

    @ West Koast

    OMG Leon really did look like David Ruffin. Felt like it was really him.

  45. Princess Aokie Lee aka BDR

    Sharon Leal who played the replacement for JHud in Dream Girls should be getting the roles that require Acting first, singing and dancing second.

    I would not want a Teacher who studied to teach english trying to cover for my Math teacher and the same philosophy applies here with Singers turned actors. There are actors who study their craft who happen to be blessed in other areas such as singing and dancing. Those rare talents are known as TRIPLE THREATS!

  47. LadyLuvsVodka

    @dayg715

    Beyonce is playing Eartha Kitt in the biopic movie. It was announced last week I believe. She can’t act and the role should have went to someone who has the talent but you know how it goes.

  48. Wakeupeople

    We don’t need other races to hate on us! We can always rely on our own to do a damn good job of it. All these blak blogs beat down on brothers and sisters who are finally doing their thing, I am sure the KKK and all white supremacists are having a jolly old time!!

  49. sruabi

    Her acting does suck. But I believe she will pull it off. She is not the main focus of the film. The film is about Adrien Brody, the owner of Cadillac Records and it’s recording artists. So her part will work out because it is not a major part like in Dreamgirls.

  50. Vee

    W*****up Y’all. Whoever said B has a chance at winning an Oscar since Three Six Mafia got one…is RIGHT!!! I don’t care for her actin’ either but hey-its her world right now…

  51. MissBlaze43

    My bosses and I were just talking about this chick last night before I left work. We all agreed – it’s time for this girl to sit down, have a baby and then come back.

    I swear, she better do this movie some justice. I love Etta James’s music, so if Beyonce screws this up I think the industry is going to retire her ***** themselves!!!

  52. MissBlaze43

    Bad grammar. I meant James’

  53. surabi

    @wakeuppeople: Just because a person is black doesn’t mean you have to approve them. That is the most ignorant thing I have ever heard. I don’t care if you are green, if you entertain me, as an actress or singer should do, then I will give them their props. But just because you are my race or ethnicity, that is ridiculous. you need to wakeup, wakeuppeople.

  54. Redd Tony aka Earth Sign "Nothing's more precious than the rebirth of love"

    Well I just wonder if she is going to have more than two lines to say per scene

  55. Oshie (every single place I go, I see the same hos...)

    Estelle Getty looks bangin.

  56. MissBlaze43

    @ sruabi

    Oh, well that’s good to know.

  57. Royal Chocolate

    I thinks she’s still trying to “out do” Jennifer Hudson (since she got an award and Bey didn’t). Bey needs to focus on getting “some soul” before getting in front of the camera again otherwise, the audience will continue to “see nothing” when it comes to her acting. This is different from that 4th grade stage acting we all did.

  58. Mrs. Dacry1234

    I am the biggest Beyonce fan in the world, but when it comes to her acting, I think she should just stick to singing.

    She thought she was going to get the Oscar, but Jhud came in and showed her up. Beyonce please just sing

  59. MissBlaze43

    I agree with ALL of you on Leon playing David Ruffin. He was really good in that role.

    What ever happened to him, what’s he doing now?

  60. Vee

  64. Book Worm

    @ MISSBLAZE 43

    Leon was in a movie called Cover. A must see.

  65. MsGreeneMBA

    This bish needs to call it a wrap on acting. She plays the same role in every movie she does. There’s no depth to her. And to you smucking idiots talking about black blogs bringing black people down, yall are smoking rocks! People are entitled to their opinion. You do not have to like everyone because they’re black. GTFOH!

  66. Kesha: (I BLEED BLACK-N-GOLD) Bush is out...what are we gonna do! Damn!

    All you had to say was Mos Def and i was THERE! And at least HE CAN ACT!

  67. Southern L.A. GAL

    Yeah, I can wait to go to BlockBuster or Hollywood Video for this one and Obession too. She won’t get my cash, but yeah in spirit she gets her gratitude from me.


  68. You ppl are so supportive. Bey, of course, you will have haters. The day we found out you were worth $80 mill you went on America’s Most Hated List and then you have JayZ too, the hate won’t stop! Keep being you and keep doing your thing. You are an Icon in my book!

  69. wifey06

    Singers trying to be actors belittles the Art.

    Do we smell a flop!!!!

    Beyonce can not act!!!!!!!! She is phoney and it shows too well on screen.

    White America loves light girls regardless if they have talent or not. She should really take a break.

  70. WhodatsaidDat?-Tells it like it T.I. IS cuz u'ount know me

    Who the hell is Mathew Butt cuddling with? DANG! he love his daughter..lol

  71. yanib

    I’ll p*****. I don’t think Bey as an actress or Etta James are that interesting.

  72. Hi Haters!

    Loves it! Beyonce looks great as Ella! Can’t wait to see this movie! It’s going to be huge! It will open in over 800 theaters1 What a smash! The cast is stellar! Beyonce you got the haters on lockdown this era. They are not going to be able to keep up with all your moves! Just love it! Love to see successful black folks making moves. One more thing haters, she’s also the executive producer of the movie. Can you say ca-ching!LOL


  73. Raheem DeVaugn also has a cameo in the movie, as a soul singer with the last name Gibbs or something….I’m checking for that screen time, he’s adorable!

  74. Hi Haters!

    Sing Jill Scott! Pump up the volume on the haters anthem!LOL

  75. yanib

    Mos Def was good in 16 Blocks.

  76. Afiya - GO PHILLIES - WORLD SERIES -YEA BOI!!

    I’ll wait for the DVD!

  77. roe ski love

    Bey is about the most talented triple threat since Vanessa Williams and all of you just hate on her just like you hated on Vanessa. Granted her acting skills need improvement, but she can sing and dance her ***** off. Give her a chance to become the best that she can be.

  78. 2cute4u♥♥♥

    One word: BOOTLEG! :lol:

  79. private guest

    Sorry, but Bey is not an actress and I don’t even think she can pull this one off. Etta James was something else and I KNOW Bey is to quaint for the role. Shudda invested in J. Hud on this one because she definitely has the s*****iness required that could’ve related much better to the role of Etta James.

  80. Tonia Johnson

    I like Beyonce as a singer entertainer, not as an actress, these roles need to be given to actreses (hope I spelled that correctly) who deserve rolls like this, who have been waiting on roles like these…

  81. roe ski love

    I wish Bossip readers would quit mentioning skin tone, it’s redundent and repugnant. Black people should be proud that we come in different hues and colors, unlike most races.

  82. HardCandy

    Etta James has already said she isnt happy that Bey is playing her just like whitney beyonce cant act and will stop getting parts soon

  83. Naylo

    Not for nothing but I go on this site at least twice a day and I seriously dont understand why you guys hate on Beyonce so much. I just dont get it. The women is an extremely successful, talented (obviously- she wouldnt be around for 10+ years) and beautiful BLACK women. Why are you all hating her on her when you should be supporting her. She may not be the best actress out there but she definately isnt the worst.

    She is doing good for herself, let the girl live..DAMM.

  84. KKLOVE

    ::I REALLY WISH BEY WOULD STOP WASTING $$ AND TIME ON ACTING…CUZ SHE IS THE WORST @ IT. STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW BABEZ…STOP THE FOOLISHNESS CUZ YOU ARE ONLY HURTING YOURSELF. LEAVE THE ACTIN TO YOUR LIL KRUNK AZZ LIL SIS AIITE…THANKIES::


  85. I dunno bout this one Bey, I mean maby she should just stick to singn and shakn her ***** all over the stage cuz actn is not… i repeat not her forte… And when it comes out the critics will be all over it… maby she should wait until Halle Berry does a life story and play her or wait until she’s ready to tell her own life story and play herself… She doesnt look anything like Etta James, i mean is she gonna put on a fat suit by the end of the movie? I’ll p***** on this one and wait until it comes out on lifetime after it’s been bumped from the big screen… Yawn!!!

  86. LADY ARCHITECT (MAKING BIG MOVES AT 23)

    I guess money can buy you anything these days. I wonder if wanted to design a building could she buy her architectural registration simply because she was on the forbes list. This is a hot role and a kick in the face for those who studied acting in school. Tisha Campbell would’ve been perfect for this part or the Queen herself would’ve killed this role. In all honesty this looks like another version of dreamgirls where Beyonce is gonna try to showcase her vocals. She got this role because she help fund and listed herself as a “coproducer” Of course she wasn’t gonna cast anyone else for the role.

  87. Tealeaf

    Next I heard she is playing Eartha Kitt, they could get a great actress to lip synch the music,

    Beyonce is not a great actress..

  88. LADY ARCHITECT (MAKING BIG MOVES AT 23)

    I’m so glad when back in the days they actually chose actors and actresses. If the Tina Turner movie had been brought out today I bet you Beyonce would’ve fought hard for that role and would’ve done some big payoffs. Luckily it was made before her time and the wonderful actress Angela B*****ett still to this day is recognized for how well she played that role. And to think, she looked nothing like Tina Turner but in that movie you didn’t think about that cause she was so good.

  89. bored

    Beyonce said it her self Dreamgirls was not Oscar worthy for her, so she was not expecting one.

    I will give Beyonce this her work ethic is off the chain and when she sets her mind on something she gives 2000% of it. Her roles was not handed to her she worked hard to get it..

  90. Anonymous

    She looks like Tisha Campbell did when she was in the TV series little Shop of Horrors with Tichina Arnold back in the day.

  91. Anonymous

    or was the name of the show Rags to Riches?


  92. :neutral:


  93. LMAO @ all the negative feedback on ALREADY. Movie ain’t even out yet! I agree tho, Bey u won’t be thankin the Academy w/this one.

  94. Tealeaf

    Beyonce should try to play a character completely unlike her self…then she can improve her acting range…

  95. LMAO !

    I truly hope they had sense enough to dub Ettas voice into the musical numbers. The thought of Beyonces “non singing *****” croaking out “At Last” through “her nose” is a painful thought.

  96. cutie pie*kindly putting people on blast est.1985*

    I’m actually really excited to see this movie..Mos Def playing chuck berry!! I didn’t even know he could sing..Beyonce looks very much like etta in these pics but i’m just not yet convinced that she can tone down the vibrato to have a similar sound to etta’s raspy voice..but I am interested in how it plays out

  97. LADY ARCHITECT (MAKING BIG MOVES AT 23)

    mos def killed that singing part in lackawanna blues…I love him in it.

  98. honeyb

    actually I’m NOT really excited to see the movie. I think I would rather see that Secret Life of Bee’s flick…

    I need a break from the Dreamgirl/Ray flicks……

    Can I get Bey to take a vacation. Can I get her and Jigga’ to have a honeymoon that’s longer then 3 days?

    70 songs on a new cd AND a movie?

    No wonder they been together so long they proboly don’t even know each other….I bet if they kicked with each other longer then 5 minutes they might discover they don’t even like each other…….

    hmmm. just a thought…I’m just sayin’ tho’……..

  99. Wakeupeople

    @surabi…obviously you misread my post! The point is black people do not have to support all black poeple, but there is no need to NOT point out one’s success, most of the posts here including yours are just down right nasty and does prove my point!

  100. Brook Lynn Choclate Gyrl (OH LAWDY has the Best Gravie on Bossip!!!)

    Damn u Beyonce and that Stiff ***** wig. But I love u tho, lol

  101. Brook Lynn Choclate Gyrl (OH LAWDY has the Best Gravie on Bossip!!!)

    LOL @Anonymous

    I was just watching Seymore in the little Shop of horrors, LOL

  102. elovely

    I see nothing wrong with her acting. I have seen alot worse. For her to be beginner I personally think she making it rain on these hoes also Jennifer Hudson. But that is just my opinion.

  103. uptowngirl

    The only one of the cast who can act is Mos Def. And by the by imo Jennifer Hudson was not that great in Dreamgirls. She was the “It Girl” at the time that’s why she won the Oscar.


  104. the reason beyawnce said that dreamgirls was not oscar worthy is because she didn’t get the oscar.now what she should have said was that she wasn’t oscar worthy.


  105. are you mother*****ers crazy, j hud kilt that roll in dream girls. she gave props to jennifer holliday and all those before her. bey just doesn’t have the chops for these kind of rolls and some of you ***** kissers just need to tell the truth and stop tryin to put beyonce somewhere that she’s not.

  106. NYC Gal

    I just hope she doesn’t booty shake or ***** pop when she’s singing “At Last” in the movie!!

  107. Tameka

    I have to give props where props are due. That Beyonce is a go-getter & I will never hate on somebody tryna get theirs. So whether she can sing, act or dance, put on a helluva show, have Jay-Z’s babies, etc she is doing what she loves and apparently happy so more power to her!

  108. Anton Slizzardhands

    Damn B. Blonde hair ma-ma .. Dayum

  109. CHEF

    Damn…bossip yall done turned into a beyonce fan site, havent yall? lol

    Everyday yall got “non-news” about the *****…

    But since Im a fan I really dont mind, but other do, u see the hatin ***** hoe’s dont u…lol

  110. Delorean86

    Why does everybody have to hate on beyonce…If you don’t like her don’t comment…Bossip i really think you guys like beyonce because you are always hating on her…that ***** don’t make no since

  111. nonos

    Shame her camp is doing everything to push the album sales

  112. LuckyLady

    She’s type casting her own self! Carmen Jones, Dream Girls, now this movie. She’s definitely turning into Leon!

  113. NeevaTheDiva

    she is trying to take on roles that will make her be seen as a serious actress. her agent is sticking to becoming a hollywood actress 101 rules …the best way for Bey to become an actress is to stop trying to look cute in every damn thing. she need to follow halle berry career. constantly being the cute one, or the singer isnt going to help her acting career. and lastly 2CUTE4U has a horse face that i am getting tired of seeing on these boards. i recommend rhinoplasty. they have payment options if you cant afford the whole bill at once.

  114. its me *****es

    beyone looks like a hooker in that wig

    i always wonder, why does some black woman

    choose to wear those blond wig that make em look like hookers …the movie already sucks just by looking at the cast – these cat only appear in hoodrat movies , this movie is going nowhere, but straight to DVD i hope , her dreams of been iconic LOL is about to come to an end. i wish that they have choose a more decent, talent, a better singer to play etta

    sorry etta

  115. lanette

    I love how bossips ***** ***** always hating on her and she stay paid!!

  116. so obvious

    Yeah she’s paid, she has more money than probably all the people commenting on this post combined times ten…she’s talented, she’s pretty too…but you are truly in denial if you are saying that this broad can act. The girl cant act for *****. Its true…it’s not hate, its fact. She gets roles because she’s already famous for something else…just how Queen Latifah does Covergirl commercials… ya’ll know her big ***** wouldnt be a damn covergirl, if she wasnt already known for her acting and her music. Whoever said Bey didnt expect an oscar for Dreamgirls is just wrong…in every damn interview she did to promote that movie she mentioned how she was hoping for an oscar…so I was expecting so much when I saw the movie, and that ***** was flat!!! She did better in Pink Panther where all she had to do was laugh at Steve Martin. Im not a Bey hater, I got all the albums dating back to the first DC album, I like her songs and her videos, but she is self-absorbed and it’s obvious with all this “icon” talk and oscar expectancy. She’s one celebrity that needs to humble down. Name one other celebrity that actually did an interview expressing their desire for an Oscar…actors dont do that *****! Did you ever see Halle beg for an oscar…NO! and it took her years to get one.

  117. DA TRUFF!!! The Truth Will Set You Free!!!

    WHERE DO I BUY A TICKET!?!?!?!?!?!

  118. Chain of Fools

    I am certain she will take credit for writing ‘At Last’ for the soundtrack. LOL!


  119. Beyonce is one of the worst actors out there- Please note: Fat P. Diddy is the worst by a long shot- Beyonce looks nothing like Ella-this movies has to be an “F” movie- that looks just like beyonce- no characteristics of Ella- what a sham


  120. oh! I forgot Beyonce bought the rights to the movie and of course made herself the star- the script was written around Beyonce-like someone said above- she needs to stop trying to look cute in every scene and be a true actress- that promo turns me off because I like Ella and there is no resemblence

  121. NeevaTheDiva

    @ jaime

    you are not allowed to comment if you dont know what the ***** youre talking about. note, this movie is about ETTA JAMES. not ella. fall back and STFU

  122. NeevaTheDiva

    and stop and regurgitating what i wrote in a previous post .. your non original thinking *****. what you on bossip for if you dont have a thought of your own? get yo ***** on somewhere before i take off my belt

  123. September Chick

    i’m interested in this movie because i’d like to know a bit more about Etta James…hope Beyonce does her justice. as far as Bey playing Eartha Kitt, *long pause* don’t think it’ll work


  124. man y yall judging it b5 yall seen it, smart much

    she might have improved or had a great directore, come on, ***** up a suck beyonce *****

  125. The Bear

    Bey is alright but Gabby U. always stands out to me.

    and sometimes i hate to say this but if you rasied by a black single mother she is full of hate and bitterness and her kids rub off on her and i hate to say this but it need to be said if your dark skined you cause drama with the light skins and then hate froms from slavey too its so many things lists goes on with this crazy ***** race. most black kids wish for a father and mother to just be together and u know what that is what ever black child needs in oreder to have a heathly happy life if you did not have love in your home you wont have it later on. so i say if u did not have it as a black woman make sure yo ***** have a husband then have kids dont be like them bring your kids up wiht happeyness and teach your black boys better then the new ones today teach them to have black pride and love they blackness self teach them how to be a man got damn it this race needs some changes.

  128. The Truth

    Beyonce got the role in this and the Obsessed movie because her and her father produced the movies. When you front the cash you have the right to put yourself in the flix. Does that mean she should have played the role? Only time will tell. If we’re just looking at her past performances I would have to say no. I don’t have a problem with her singing I have a problem with her acting. She should put just as much effort in acting as she does singing and maybe she will get better. There are a lot of actors who study their craft and I can truly understand why they would be mad at people like Bey who come along and take leading roles. She doesn’t even start at the bottom and work her way up she starts with leading roles and that’s what annoys me. Busta, LL, Queen none of these people took leading roles when they first started off and worked their way up.

    She hired the same acting coach as Halle Berry and Charlize Theron who both have Oscars.

    She went to a Drug addicted facilty in Brooklyn.

    She gained 20 lbs.

    So it’s not her not dedicated to the role she just need to let go and become someone else and don’t think about how it “looks”.

  130. Amame

    I think keyshia cole would have been a better pick or some other actress that can somewhat resemble Etta James. i hope Beyonce does a good job. I really like Etta James as well as her songs.If the reviews are horrible, I will watch the movie when it comes on TV.

  131. ISLND_QUEEN1

    DAMN SHE CANNOT ACT!!! GIRL JUST STICK TO ENTERTAINMENT

  132. ISLND_QUEEN1

    SHE WANTS THAT OSCAR SO BAD AFTER JENNIFER HUDSON WON IT AND SHE DIDNT GET SH@#!

  133. ISLND_QUEEN1

    SORRY B I DON’T SEE A OSCAR IN YOUR FUTURE. IF ANYTHING MY GIRL ANGELA B*****ETT’S OSCAR IS OVERDUE. JUST KEEP SINGING AND GIVE JAY SOME KIDS!!

  134. NEHEMAH

    She is going to overact…to the point that the audience cringes each time she’s shown. I can just see her whimpering and sliding down the walls after a fix lol I don’t think she’ll do well and I hesitate to pre-bash her because if you set the bar low anything she does will seem great but I just have to be honest…She’ll get props for her musical numbers maybe but that’s about it.

  135. Davina

    The problem with Beyoncé is not her acting, it’s just she wants to be and make everything= I want to be ICONIC.

    But you can’t shine everywhere!! She is a singer,dancer,songwriter (let’s pretend it), songproducer, co-desingner(with mama of course), and now she wants to be the best actress, a movie producer!!

    SO WHAT’S NEXT? Beyoncé the DIRECTOR with Solange in the leading role???

    C’mon u cant’be the best everywhere that is not hating that a FACT.

    If she really want to be considered as an actress she should focuse on it ( for a few years maybe)and STOP accepting the damn singer roles.

    Just my opinion.

  136. balaramesh

    mos def acting > the entire cast

  137. bob

    Seems I have seen this on some tall dating place yet,The ideal place to pick up women as far as i know __T a l l c h a t.c o m__ cute, hot , talented… whatever u can come up with…LOL

  138. Juju

    LMBAO @ I am certain she will take credit for writing ‘At Last’ for the soundtrack. LOL!

  139. AMW

    Actually her cousin would have looked more like Etta James that her. SERIOUSLY! I know it sounds like a joke. But hence the weight, & height! VIOLA!

  140. usher's ex the one no one needs to know

    beyonce wanting to be a female idol writing a song about being a boy

    ISSUES

    she can be an idol of having serious insecure issues

    that will make her a girl so why does she not make a honest track about her treatment of others

    obviously

    beyonce stretching hope a little bit trying to become an idol with that going on

  141. warning:very opinionated

    WHY CANTT BLACKS JUST LEARN HOW TO SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER?? DAMN.

    DO YALL NOT REALIZE WHY MOST WHITE PPL ARE WINNING OSCARS??? BECAUSE THEY SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER REGARDLESS…unconditionally.

    BLACKS HATE ON EACH OTHER MORE SO THAN ANY OTHER CULTURE CAN HATE ON US. WE DESTROY EACH OTHERS CONFIDENCE, PERSISITENCE AND ABILITY TO RULE, RISE & OVERCOME WITH JEALOUSY..ENVY..AND SELF MISERY AND DOUBT.

    Beyonce do your thing ma. I Hope you do win an oscar because you work hard as hell and even if she doesnt God sees her effort and she’ll be rewarded greater than any man can reward her here in this evil ***** world. Material things aint sh*t.

    Angela b*****et played Tina Turner and she doesnt look exactly like her.

    Halle Berry played Dorthy Dandridge and she doesnt look exactly like her NOR CAN SHE SING.

    The point is who can pull off the act of someone that your not..*****ody can ever look exactly like another person because were all 100% individuals even twins dont look 100% alike. BOSSIP and most of the people on here hate on BEYONCE and other successfull blacks hard as hell.

    we are truly livin in our last days because hate is truly on the rise..*****ody wants to see the next man prosper…rather see’em fall to the dirt because thats were that person choose to exist.

    I hope Beyonce and other successful ppl dont look to others for gratification or acceptance because men can be truly evil.

    I wonder if MLK never had a DREAM or if MALCOM X stayed pimpin or if the BLACK PANTHERS didnt care how blacks were being treated or if Abraham Lincoln didnt free slaves…how blacks would be treatin each other today>? Worse or better?

    Because we still have not yet discover how to love one another and support those that made it and is livin the dream our people that got us here wanted us to accomplish???? WDF is wrong with ppl. lost souls. filthy mentallitys…yall can speak hate on Beyonce only because your full of hate.

    How can you a dog a sister that loves to work hard and stay successfull and isnt out here raisin wars or startin street gangs or promotin drugs and gang banging? To speak hate on someones is a reverse effect on yourself…

    all the evil judgement you place on others you will have to face God for it. And all the judgement will be placed to you.

  142. warning:very opinionated

    ps..DREAMGIRLS was a great movie…

    BLACKS want get far in this world because we have now became and probably as long as this world exist and turns….be OUR ON GREATEST AND WORST ENEMY.

  143. warning:very opinionated

    I meant to say BLACK PPL ARE “OUR” OWN GREATEST AND WORST ENEMY.

  144. America is the shiz

    @ very opinionated

    You must not have gotten what MLK and Malcom were teaching in their later years and it was the content of ones character, not their skin color to support.

    That is why we are going nowhere, we got all these devils in black skin, teaching our communities all the wrongt things, and because we DON”T GET IT, in terms of what Malcolm, MLK, Angela Davis was saying we feel obliged to support it.

    We should support good character and condemn bad character irrespective of skin color.

    If someone is a lying parasite then their skin color shouldn’t automatically mean they should be supported.

    We got it twisted and so do you.

    Until we can judge character we will continue to be led astray by our ‘own’.

  145. DA TRUFF!!! The Truth Will Set You Free!!!

    I LOVE BLACK PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

    GO GABRIELLE UNION!!!!!

    GO OBAMA GO!!!!!!!

  146. NoTimeToGaze

    It is really a sad day when it is very clear and bright that Beyonce cannot act a r***** yet she keeps on getting roles. Now clearly they dont get it at that Beyonce is overrated and not that many people are into her. Oh well when movies start to flop is when they will stop allowing her to act in these movies. She really ruined this movie for me and she did the song a diservice. When will people see the wackness that is Beyonce. Is todays society all about fakeness. Are we that superficial. I am so happy that I am an adult in this day. I would hate to be 12 and think that Beyonce is really someone great. Ha – SHe knows that she isnt all of anything. She is average with a great team.

    OH well.

  147. Just Talkin

    I agree that movies about singers lives should be played by actors and not singers who can’t act. There are to many black actors out there who could really play these roles well. Hey Hollyweird why don’t you give them a break.

  148. Just Answering

    You know I think it’s easier for a singer, or a rapper to get acting roles than actors. Please don’t let an actor try breaking into the singing business. It’s usually a flop.


  149. singers need to stick to singing unless they have a true talent for acting,some singers do, beyonce cant act to me,she needs to stay with music.
