: Bump Dreamgirls - there looks to be another blockbuster musical in the making. MediaTakeOut.com told you a few weeks ago that Beyonce Knowles signed on to play 1950s R&B singer Etta James in the new musical Cadillac Records.
Well MediaTakeOut.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned that singer Alicia Keys is on the verge of signing onto the cast also. According to a person intimately involved in the film's casting, Alicia will play a member of Etta's one time group, the Peaches. The insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "I can't give too much away, but there's going to be some on-screen conflict between Etta (Beyonce's character) and Alicia [Keys'] character. "
Oooooh, we can't wait!!!!

****ATTENTION****
It is not acting when you have singers playing, um, SINGERS!!! Thats like Floyd Mayweather playing a boxer, or Ludacris playing a rapper (like he did in Hustle & Flow), or Janet Jacme playing a porn star!!!
---------------------------------- 2 episodes left of the Wire and Omar is dead and Michael is about to get real gangsta!!!
The movie is going to be hot! When I first heard the concept I was on it. My boyfriend is going to want to see it. He loves him some Alicia Keyes.

VainChick, YES girl! I read it this morning. I was actually trippin off the fact that the DUDES were arguing amoungst each other for a good minute. LOL. Its funny, all the dudes do is call each other ***, and the females just call each other 100 types of B*tches lmao. Do you think he's a girl though?
Smart move putting two of the hottest R&B chicks in the same movie....i ain't mad at that. ----------
Good Morning People's!
What up VainChick...MyzFlyy08 and the rest of the fam. --------------- Last *** ATL and E-thug got it in...i had to turn in early so i don't know who won, but they had me in stitches from the early rounds.
Mornin', people!
Lol @ the buddy cop film idea. Queen Latifah should be the police chief.
Speakin' of which, I'm lookin' forward to seein' A Keys and Latifah both in The Secret Life of Bees, when it comes out.
But this sounds like a good look right. I'm not really big on either of their acting skills but am starting to believe Beyonce will start becoming Tom Cruise-esque where her star power brings enough attention to the film that the costar gets the award nods (Last Samaurai, Collateral). And Alicia does put enough heart and emotion into her acting that I doubt she'll get passed over when the awards start coming up.
Plus, Jeffrey Wright is in it? Done deal.
Whats this about Keys playing Ms. Lena Horne?
"Black actors." - Wayne Brady
I am sick of Beyonce getting roles based on the fact that she is Beyonce..now she is a great performer/singer/dancer but she can not act..she took acting lessons for Dreamgirls and still was outshined by JHud. I am sure if Alicia is being considered Bey will probably complain for fear the same thing will happen with this one that happened with Dreamgirls. Stick to your day job Bey!!
@VainChic
E thug was hanging in there, i thought JrLink was gonna jump in it too for a minute but he let ATL DO HIS THING. --------------- I ain't mad at none of them....i was checking out the game and watching them cut up...i woke up laughing this morning thinking about it.
~*~
LOL. Yesterday's convo made some good reading this morning.
to the hater that said akeys looks like a donkey i wonder what you *** looks like. anyways akeyz did do good in the movie smoking aces she could act and if she did that dame believeable scene in the IF I AIN'T GOT YOU video. my girls going to turn it out if its true shes going to have theses beyonce stans on overdrive. i hope its true they are the hottest r&b chicks out here in the game. MY MONEYS ON MY GIRL AKEYS. BUT WHAT ABOUT LENA HORNE SHE BETTER NOT GIVE UP THAT DAME ROLE AND OPRAH IS BEHIND IT. BETTER CHANCE FOR THAT DAME GOLD. GET IT LICICA I AIN'T MAD
VainChick. I have a 7 year old niece and she is just as grown as she wants to be, but I know she gets that from my sister..lol. Time does fly, and he wants to talk about having another, I'm like ***..can my babies atleast get in kindergarten first before I even CONSIDER it. LOL.
MrCBR1000
Thanks! 7 going on 17..lmao, that rapidly? LOL
@ VainChick
I know exactly what you are saying. They are the most beautful little girls! You can tell proud Dad, BUT I am not ready for the whole boy thing. I know what me and my friends would have been trying if we had twins in my class in school. I f@ck around and get a job at the school to watch them!

Well *** Beyonce, you sure know how to pick these roles! You gonna be cheated out of this *** Oscar and Golden Globe in 2009 because Alicia is gonna go hard like she always do!

Sorry C! LMAO
THATS WHAT IM SAYING I WANT TO SEE LENA HORNE(CAUSE I KNOW AKEYS IS GOIGNT TO TURN IT OUT) AND OPRAH IS BACKING HER WHICH MEAN MORE MONEY TO WORK WITH. I SAW SMOKING ACES IT WAS ALRIGHT CAUSE HER AND COMMON WAS IN IT. BUT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT. PLUS I HOPE THIS AIN'T TRUE LET BEYONCE THINK SHE COULD ACT AND WHATEVER AND *** THIS UP. I HEARD ETTA JAMES IS COACHING HER SO MAYBE SHE COULD GET IT TO. OR NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTT SHE WOULD DEF HAVE TO REALLY TRANSFORM BECAUSE WASN'T ETTA A DAME CRACKHEAD OR SOMETHING.
E-BFFFF I'm here!!!
Hello all!!!
This baby is finna come out any day now, and ATL still fighting everybody!! Argh! LOL
LOL @ Shellly...you are such a trouble maker!!!!!
And another thing, I still trip when people don't say Beyonce is talented...am I missing something? If you guys can convince be that this chick ain't bad, I'll hop on the bandwagon...but Beyonce is fierce with her talent!!! Her style is another story...but we ain't talking about style y'all.
Alicia is very likable and talented...but she's not much of a performer. Have y'all seen her trying to do some choreographed moves? Hmmmmmmmm.
Anyhow....E-BFF....where's my pic?
I DOUBT THIS BECAUSE ALICIA IS PLAYING LENA HORNE IN LENA'S BIOPIC, AND SHE JUST GOT FINISHED FILMING THE SECRET LIVES OF BEE WITH QUEEN LATIFAH, JENNIFER HUDSON, AND DAKOTA FANNING and HER TOUR STARTS MONDAY (INTERNATIONAL), and SHE"LL DO THE US TOUR IN APRIL-JUNE, and START THE LENA MOVIE AFTER THAT, AND CADILLAC RECORD IS GOING TO START FILMING SOON!

I saw AK in Smoking Aces and I was not really impressed I thought she would do her thing but she fell *** for me she still my girl though.Beyonce on the other hand has done alot more movies which always has her doing what she does already sing!She needs to get different roles to broaden her acting range,but the girl just cannot act for shi*t so it's hopeless!
Beyoncé is going to have the best coach in the biz when she takes on the role of Etta James in Cadillac Records, a forthcoming movie about Etta's life. The legendary singer tells PageSix.com exclusively that she's going to be advising the "Bootylicious" star herself.
"It's a privilege and an honor to have somebody like that girl. I don't think she looks like me, but that's all right. They can that up," Etta tells us. And appearance isn't all Beyoncé will have to work on.
"Oh my god, she's going to have a hill to climb, because Etta James ain't been no angel!" she says.
Producers have informed Etta that she'll get the chance to consult with the 26-year-old Destiny's Child star, giving her pointers on both the acting and the singing — the latter being something the "At Last" singer was most concerned with when she got wind of the casting.
Of her many hits, Etta feels, "I have my own way of putting those songs over, and I was just wondering if Beyoncé could, and my son said, 'They're thinking about how she looks, but mama, she can really sing!'"
It was the Dreamgirls star's performance at the Grammys earlier this month that won Etta over, when Jay-Z's main squeeze rocked "Proud Mary" with Tina Turner.
"I kinda have a man's voice. It's a contralto, more bluesy, religious. I would really like to work with her on that," the 70-year-old songstress says.
Of her life lessons, Etta, who battled heroin addiction for many years, says, "I can tell Beyoncé some things; some of the things I might not tell her."
She does stress that the emotional transformation Beyoncé must undergo will have to be a little intense.
"I wasn't as bourgie as she is, she's bourgeois. She knows how to be a lady, she's like a model. I wasn't like that... I smoked in the bathroom in school, I was kinda arrogant, so those are some of the things I would want to tell her."
The flick will co-star Adrien Brody (reportedly replacing Matt Damon) in the role of music exec Leonard Chess, as well as Cedric the Entertainer and Jeffrey Wright.
The meeting between the divas will be happening soon, as sources tell us filming is scheduled to start on March 10 in New Jersey, with two days on location in Mississippi
Knowles to rev up 'Cadillac' By Leslie Simmons
Feb 20, 2008 hr/photos/stylus/17536.jpg
Beyonce Knowles (Getty Images photo) Beyonce Knowles is adding "executive producer" to her resume.
The 10-time Grammy winner has signed on to executive produce and star in Darnell Martin's "Cadillac Records" for Sony BMG Films.
Knowles will play Etta James in the 1950s period film about the Chicago record company Chess Records; its founder, Leonard Chess; and the turbulent lives of some of the label's legends, who included Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf and Chuck Berry.
Martin ("Their Eyes Were Watching God") penned the screenplay. Sony BMG's Andrew Lack and Sofia Sondervan are producing for the 3-year-old specialty label.
Knowles joins a cast that includes Adrien Brody (Chess), Jeffrey Wright (Waters), Cedric the Entertainer (Willie Dixon) and Columbus *** (Little Walter). Emmanuelle Chriqui and Tammy Blanchard co-star.
Music for the film is being produced by Steve Jordan ("Cars," "The Sopranos"). Knowles will record four songs for the soundtrack, which will be released through Music World Entertainment and Columbia Records.
The singer-actress will donate a portion of her fees for the film to recovering addicts through her family's charity, the Survivor Foundation, according to her reps.
Knowles ("Austin Powers in Goldmember") earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role as Deena Jones in 2006's "Dreamgirls" and a 2008 Grammy nomination for best compilation soundtrack album for the film. She also was nominated for the record of the year Grammy this year for her song "Irreplaceable."
Knowles is repped by ICM and Music World Entertainment.

ALICIA KEYS ISN'T MENTIONED IN ANY OF THESE ARTICLES! MTO I THINK YOU ARE HOPING AND WISHING!
I try to make a habit of not watching movies staring singers and rappers. most of them suck with the exception of
will smith ice cube. queen latifah and a few others who i cannot think of right now.
these entertainers more or less dedicate themselves to the acting trade now and less on music, and have gone to acting schools to perfect their trade.
but none of the singer / actors who have come out in the last 10 years. (even though Alicia Keys did a good job in smoking aces)they seem to think that because of their fame they should branch out. and the producers of these movies want to make an easy buck by catering to the rap fans by hiring rapper/singers and not cater to people who really enjoy good movies with great actors.
when is the last time you have seen a movie staring a young black man who did not have his hand in the music industry? derek luke (antwoine fisher/ biker boys. that was five years ago.)
Beyonce sucks as an actress. fighting temptations she was horrible. austin powers terrible. pink panther, bad. and Carmen a hip hoppera was just plain disgusting. I didnt watch Dreamgirls because her acting is so bad.
Alicia keys was pretty good in smokin aces though.
my advice to hollywood. Give trained thespians a chance to make money. look at all of our black female actresses. they are in these supporting roles all the time. Sannaa Lathan can act her *** off
stacy cash
jada pinkett-smith
shar jackson paula jai parker
tia/ tamara mowry- I know they suck too
tatiana ali
lark vorhees
mia campbell
keisha *** pulliam
you cant tell me none of these thespian women would like a staring roll in a high production movie. But the part goes to someone else not for their acting skills but because of their name and musical fan base.
@ mafiapprincess

@mafia; i'm right here....LOL
mickey_avalon/ jason_w found me out....
i saw how some were doing the dual identity thing and it seemed like fun..... (sike)
no on the real, i do confess that we are not the same person, but we really do know one another, he hasn't been logging on because he's going through some for real personal stuff and i didn't want to put his business out there, but e-thug here to hold it down for him... real talk...
@ mafiap..Yeah..He's been MIA for a min..I have a feeling he's on here tho... I just have a feeling ;)
Anywho..It was sooo much drama yesterday..Even I was e-beefing in this B!TCH...lol
___
Yeah, I heard that the post struck over 1000 again yesterday. LOL. I missed all the stuff, I had to come back and read it.
Where is the drama? These two go head to head on film everyday. It's called 'TRL' and '106 and Park'! Girlfriends, do something to 'make ME feel good!Get your money (and R-E-S--E-C-T, hopefully). This is like walking down the produce aisle and seeing a really nice imoprted orange in the same bin as a really nice organic apple - take your pick or drool over them both, but you can't take them home unless you can afford them over the regular stuff!!!
Anti-dumb, I do agree with you. Ruby Dee has been acting since there were silent movies, and just got nominated for an academy award this year and it is only for a supporting role.
Both Beyonce and Alicia are talented musicians, but there are plenty of up and coming as well as established actresses that can step in and play those parts.
Beyonce cannot act, and she was not believable in Dreamgirls, even when she insisted in screaming at the audience to 'LISTEN'!
How many 'breakout' roles is she gonna have?
Bfff, I miss ToSir as well...had us going waaaay back. Had us grown-folks feeling so so young, lol. He'll be back....afterall, who's gon' give up some Blaxican, eh?? LOL
And yes yes,Ebff, he ain't bad at all...wink, wink.
And VC, LOLOLOL...I remember reading that from BKYOuth - hillarious!! I would not have read the whole thing if it wasn't funny. My question was: how you gon' buy cheesecake? LOL But I guess it is NY.
Anyhow, I just noticed that the post reached over a thou...y'all were definitely holdn it down! That's wassup!!!
gildersleeve is definitely somebody who is either on here or definitely was on here. her corny comments suggest to me she may be white. and truthfully, i believe her and mickey avalon/jason_w know one another, they may actually be employees at mto, the ones who come up with these lame stories... i'm just saying... i have my suspicions...
@Blaxican..JUST BEWARE..EVEN IF YOU ARE JUST E-HANGING AROUND US ....THESE STUPID FOOLS ARE GOING TO COME AT YOU JUST BECAUSE OF THAT....LIKE WE THE CRIPS AND THEY THE BLOODS OR SOME ***!! THEY STUPID!LMAO!!!!!IT'S JUST THE INTERNET, BUT THESE UGLY MOFOS TAKE IT SO PERSONAL..BUT LIKE THEY SAY THE TRUTH HURTS!
Please Alicia would never do anything with Beyonce again. After the 'Ladies First' tour when she was put in the corner while Beyonce was the headliner she doesn't wanna go through that again
P.S They both can't act & How is Alcia gonna out shine Bey if she has a smalle role unlike the situation in Dreamgirls
MS.Cornbreadlady...WASN'T GANGSTA WAS SHE!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!*crickets* WHO'S CORNBREADLADY? I KNOW ONE TIME SHE CAME ON AND WENT AT CHARLI(*** i miss her) AND THAT MADE ME MAD..SO YEAH I THINK ME AND HERE HAD WORDS BUT THAT WAS IT...AND PLUS SHE DIDN'T OFFER ME NO *** CORNBREAD....MADE ME MAD!LMAO!!!!![SPAM]LOLOL
@PERIODLICKER.....YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER PICS...MY GIRL LUCKYS EYES ARE BURNING FROM LOOKING AT IT..COME TO THINK OF MINE ARE TOO....*running and screaming my eyes! my eyes!*
Should be nice and horrible, both need to stick to singing and not acting. I will say that at least Bey has more practice but you still see her and not the character. A-Keys who I love as a singer is horrible at acting. Did you see her last film? I wanted to throw tomatoes at the screen....seriously....
@ antidumb
that is the problem.
We is not me.
I like good movies. i dont care who stars in that movie as long at is has a good plot and good, believable actors. I just became tired of paying 9 bucks a person to go to the theater to watch a good plot and terrible acting.
...and by the way, I am a man of African decent. I was born in New York and I am an American so please do not separate me from the country I was born in and the country that I enjoy living in.
I mean no disrespect by the statement, I just want you to know that not every black person thinks of the U.S. in the same context as you.
@VainChick..THAT WAS YOUR FIRST TIME SEEING CORNBREADLADY? Y'ALL OKAY SHE SEEMS COOL, BUT WE ARE REALLY GOING TO HAVE TO REALLY CHECK THESE FOLKS OUT BECAUSE Y'ALL ALREADY KNOW WE A FRIENDLY GROUP...TOO FRIENDLY SOMETIMES...IT MIGHT BE A SCORNED BLOGGER TRYING TO "GET IN" THEN STRIKE!!!!LMAO!!!!!!!!
@ MyzFlyy08 You are right. It is mad big with like 10 rides and some horses. Norfolk huh, thats whats up im inva beach
@ Mafiaprincess and Vainchick Trust im not trying to encourage he/she/it probaly does save a little for later. Funny thing is there are chicks out there trying to contact her like on the low like how can I be down.
It's an adorable picture! You look sweet and innocent...and trust, you BEST not put one of those "sexy" pics where your breasts are exposed or your striving sooooo hard to poke out your booty, half showing some stretch marks!!! I'm your elder and I beg that you respect me - us, LOL. But just from the looks of your pic, I can already tell that you'll put something tasteful. :-)
Can I get an AMEN to all the girls who are actually pretty and don't need to expose themselves??? AMEN to my *** self if i don't get one. Hallelujah!!! LOL
PeriodLicker...FINE, I'm all yours....I'm so bored at this point, I've already have 'em spread out. Argh...I'm mad at myself for even takign the time to type that...LOLOLOL...
I wanted ivorymarie to come in here. I wanted to know what was going on in her picture. Looks like she has some kind of R.Kelly thing going on. She's commented on just about every site except this one :=( If you want to know who I'm talking about run over to Lebron's house, start at the top and scroll. She's the one with the water...*sigh*
@LUSIL...I LIKE BEY..BUT I FEEL SHE'S OVER EXPOSED...BUT I LIKE HER..THE GIRL CAN PERFORM HER AZZ OFF....THAT DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE CD WAS OFF THE CHAIN.....THAT NO. 5 ON THERE ..* singing thinking about my man* "I RATHER BE WITH YOU BECAUSE I LOVE THE WAY YOU SCREAM MY NAME" WHEW!ILLY...HMMMMMM..ILLY.....
good performer, so-so singer does not make a great actress. most people who went to see dreamgirls, when because of jennifer hudson. they marketed the entire movie around her, beyonce was her co-star. J-Hud made that movie happen.
Beyonce works very had. it's not easy to get up everyday and give 100% performance, especially when she is on tour. everyone wants their money's worth, and she does deliver.
I say we give someone else a chance.
Princess...I feel you!! Oh my...I saw her perform "Dangerously in Love" live...and she was so off the hook, i thought she was going to explode. She really is amazing. But yes, overexposed...not necessarily likable...but that girl has talent. She is one of the best performers I have ever seen.
And Alicia..I love her...she's so *** likable with her masculine self, lol...but I can't see her outdoing Beyonce....IMO.
@LuckyS
What's good Ma? Jr ain't still talking bout *** me is he?lol ----------- @Blaxican
hey there sexy, you keep a brotha ready to sopp you up with a e-biscuit. lol How ya doing this fine day? --------- @ Illy I see you back in MF HOUSE..WHAT'S GOOD OCK? --------- Myzflyy08
say word..you 23 for real? or you just like M. Jordan old number?
VC...I love Alicia...and she can get down on her keyboard. She's pretty, down to earth, just appears to be an overall good person...but um, I don't think she can outshine Beyonce. Beyonce is like a raging hyena,lol...she's just waiting to get it! She is just ready to pounce. Beyonce gives her all, ALL the time. She told you she is a "survivor"...thought you knew!! I love 'em both....I just happen to think that Beyonce has all the fight in the world.
Alicia....you know what, i love her too. I hope she does her thing...
'Sup mommies and poppies? How's the E-fam today?
And WTF happened yesterday? Anybody got cliff-notes? Minutes, SOME-thin'? Cuz that's a lonnnnnng azz post to be goin' through, dayum!

Beyoncé is going to have the best coach in the biz when she takes on the role of Etta James in Cadillac Records, a forthcoming movie about Etta's life. The legendary singer tells PageSix.com exclusively that she's going to be advising the "Bootylicious" star herself. "It's a privilege and an honor to have somebody like that girl. I don't think she looks like me, but that's all right. They can fix that up," Etta tells us.
And appearance isn't all Beyoncé will have to work on.
"Oh my god, she's going to have a hill to climb, because Etta James ain't been no angel!" she says.
Producers have informed Etta that she'll get the chance to consult with the 26-year-old Destiny's Child star, giving her pointers on both the acting and the singing — the latter being something the "At Last" singer was most concerned with when she got wind of the casting.
Of her many hits, Etta feels, "I have my own way of putting those songs over, and I was just wondering if Beyoncé could, and my son said, 'They're thinking about how she looks, but mama, she can really sing!'"
It was the Dreamgirls star's performance at the Grammys earlier this month that won Etta over, when Jay-Z's main squeeze rocked "Proud Mary" with Tina Turner.
"I kinda have a man's voice. It's a contralto, more bluesy, religious. I would really like to work with her on that," the 70-year-old songstress says.
Of her life lessons, Etta, who battled heroin addiction for many years, says, "I can tell Beyoncé some things; some of the things I might not tell her."
She does stress that the emotional transformation Beyoncé must undergo will have to be a little intense.
"I wasn't as bourgie as she is, she's bourgeois. She knows how to be a lady, she's like a model. I wasn't like that... I smoked in the bathroom in school, I was kinda arrogant, so those are some of the things I would want to tell her."
The flick will co-star Adrien Brody (reportedly replacing Matt Damon) in the role of music exec Leonard Chess, as well as Cedric the Entertainer and Jeffrey Wright.
The meeting between the divas will be happening soon, as sources tell us filming is scheduled to start on March 10 in New Jersey, with two days on location in Mississippi.
Vain, I can deal with anyone poppn off about Beyonce...everyone is entitled. She's still a bad chick...so it's whatever. No um, I'll e-kill a *** for ATL...that's my word. ATL can do no wrong in my book!
Actually, if you in my e-fam...trust I got your back. Vain...just let me know if any B!tch steps to you...call and I'm here!!! Yessir I will be!!
@Wink...you should rent Smoking Aces this weekend and tell me what you think of Keys acting. She did pretty good in that. Something I wasn't expecting...
@Lusil...Alicia has a more mature thing going. Her own style and creativity. Most times you can see Tina and Mathews invisible hands in some of the stuff that she does. I want her to really break away from them and be in her OWN element
@lusil....NOW SEE, THAT'S WHAT'S UP! You know I'll call you!
@Cali...OMG, I was home Monday and I had to sit there and watch everyone else until they came. I tuned in late but they were outside crying their azzez off (me too) and Angie telling him that she wasn't going to let him leave her again! My goodness...But, why was he leaving? Don't tell me he has some kind of disease they can't cure?

@Vainchick - Jessie is running from someone who threatened his fam 20 years ago, which is why he stayed away all this time...to keep Angie and Frankie out of harms way. That's all they've disclosed so far so we'll see who and why ***. They're in the process of...ahem...'makin' up for lost time' right now. LOLOLOLOL
Lusil - Aww, I love you, too, ma. I'm sorry for not being around lately. As I told Mafia the other day, the job and PST is what prevents me from hanging out as much as i'd like to, but i'll work on devoting more quality time with the e-fam, i promise. LOL

@Vainchick - yep, 20 years ago. Jessie said he remembered 'dying' and Angie saying goodbye, but later woke up in chains in a dungeon somewhere. WTF? I have a feeling it has something to do with an ex-boyfriend of Angie's. I read a spoiler that said the bones that were recently found are going to be Angie's ex-boyfriend's bones and he's prolly the one Jessie has been running from and they'll find out he's dead and Jessie won't have to run anymore. Just my guess cuz they wouldn't bring up her ex and those bones for nothing, ya know? We'll see....
