Beyonce to Play Etta James in a Movie?
Rumors are going around that Beyonce will be playing iconic singer Etta James in a movie that’s going to be called Cadillac Records. The film will apparently be about Chess Records, and the stars that the label discovered. Adrien Brody will also be in the film, playing the role of Leonard Chess, the record label owner. Other celebrities in the movie include Jeffrey Wright, Emmanuelle Chriqui, and Tammy Blanchard.

Am I the only one who thinks this movie sounds like a cross between Mariah Carey’s Glitter and Beyonce’s previous flop, Dreamgirls? It so does. Didn’t Beyonce learn from Dreamgirls? Not only was she a bad actress but no one liked her trying to steal Jennifer Hudson’s thunder. I’m anxious to see how this movie pans out, and if another actress comes out of nowhere and ends up out-performing Beyonce. It’s going to be great.
