    I’m really excited to see Dreamgirls. The cast is talented and I’m sure this movie is going to be awesome. @ 1 – ugh, I’m so tired of reading these comments where someone has to go and talk crap about a celebrity when they’re doing a good thing. Ms. Knowles is talented – that is undeniable – and so is everyone else in the cast. What I’m getting at is this – criticize her and anyone else when they do bad. But for now, praise and celebrate her and the other African Americans in this film that have done a great job. And stop talking about people’s hair and wigs – its a cultural norm now for women to wear extensions get over it. or maybe someone has an insecurity?

  8. melisus

    LOL #1 Beyonce is looking like her mother big time and the movie is not all about her tired ass. She realizes that is someone with a better voice (Jennifer Hudson) is gonna give her some competition. Believe or not Ms. Hudson is gonna outshine this chick I am sorry but that is how I FEEL.I know some people will read this and not agree because they are big fans of B, but it is time she sit her ass down.She could blow but her head is too big now.

  9. jscene

    GONE J. HUD. SHE LOOKS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I LUV HER HAIR. THIS GIRL CAN SING AND ACT. I’M SO IMPRESSED WITH HER.

  10. EVERYONE LOOKS GOOD. JENNIFER HUDSON HAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT. I SMILE JUST SEEIN HER SMILE.

  11. jscene

    @9 MELISUS

    I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. AND I READ SOMEWHERE WHERE BEY IS NOW STARTING TO TREAT J. HUD AS A THREAT, SLIGHTING HER BACKSTAGE AT THE OPRAH SHOW BY NOT SPEAKING TO HER, YET SPEAKING AND HUGGING EVERYONE ELSE. SHE AND HER PARENTS ARE RUTHLESS WHEN IT COMES TO KEEPING BEYONCE ON TOP. THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY FEELING THREATENED BY JEN.

  12. I really don’t know how Jamie’s hairline grew so much either. I know some artists use paint or pencils to draw it in (Ludacris does it, as well as others). But Jamie’s joint appears very natural…maybe he was with a hairclub or something lol.

  13. Jefferson (wwwmyspace.com/JeffersonCatlyn

    ONE thing i saw J Hud on Tv this morning
    And shes in the UK
    and she needs to fix them HAIR STYLE there NASTY

    But she performed ‘one night only’ which was oustanding
    and
    Beyonce loooks like her mum AWWWWWWWWWW
    she look nice and natural/normal
    And When she performed ‘Listen’ on Oprah i was Stunned

    I fink both ladies are equally talented and that people should support both equally

    There outstanding women
    and i dont want just one to get an oscar if they do
    i want it to go to the film or soundtrack

  14. @ ZAC

    Dang, they are vicious on that web site….lol…and its the site that says the shit, not comments from vistors….lol @ calling Neyo a “big fruit roll-up”

  15. first time

    jennifer looks better with that hairstyle… it’s more becoming than the one she wore on oprah. i’m definately gonna go see that movie!!!!!

  16. ..............

    @ # 12, we know by your previous post that you dislike Beyonce but don’t make up rumors and lie on the girl. She has not threatned J-hud. She said with her own mouth that the FILM is NOT about DEENA and how this movie is Not her Oscar role. So stop lying on the girl for your own personal dislikes. This post could be positive but when you have insecure people creating drama when it’s none that’s when they get out of hands. As you could see on Oprah Beyonce and Jennifer have much love for each other. And when Jennifer comes out she still won’t be any competition for Beyonce when music is consisdered. They are in two totally different Genres so Jenn will not affect Beyonce’s status. I wish people would stop making this out to be a Jenn vs. Bey movie and just support and enjoy the DAMN movie.

  17. Darla

    I saw the movie already at its press sneak peak in New York. I don’t know if the rumors are true about Beyonce throwing shade to Jennifer Hudson, because Beyonce is threatened, but if she is threatened she need to be because Jennifer Hudson’s performance SONS everyone else’s with the exception of Eddie Murphy who’s equal.

    And there are about two or three others who are better in the film than Beyonce. If Beyonce thought this was going to be all about her, she’s in for a rude awakening.

  18. Classy

    I agree with # 8 All the way!!!

  19. Lovethysister

    #8 I totally agree. We as African-American people should be proud of the entire cast of Dream Girls, including Beyonce! She is a positive role model. So what, she wears wigs! The majority of Hollywood does now. She looks beautiful despite all the haters! Let’s be positive for a change people. That is part of what is wrong with our culture now! We never support each other and there is so much negativity!

  20. ................

    People who keep making up shit saying that Beyonce thinks this film is all about her. Well watch this so you can shut your ass up she cleary states and corrects the lady interviewing her and States that this FILM is NOT about Deena and that the movie should win a OSCAR NOT DEENA. Hell she’s just happy to be apart of the movie and what young black actress wouldn’t be. Jennifer Hudson looks up to Beyonce, if anything they both learned a little from each other. Beyonce has made it and like she said on this interview if she stopped today she would be so happy with her success. How many other 25 year old can say the same.

    What this before judging.

  21. juslistenpleez

    Trying to keep this post positive because there is absolutely no reason to be negative….

    Everyone here looks great, and I wish Anika Noni Rose was there too.

  22. J

    In that first Beyonce picture she looked JUST like a white girl to me, oh well, she’s still beautiful regardless…anyways, I’m lookin foward to seein this movie, ain’t seen Eddie Murphy in awhile, curious to see how he’ll be.

  23. hopeful

    Everybody needs to stop hating on Beyonce! Ok Jennifer Hudson is the star of the movie, WHO CARES! and who is she anyway? no every heard of her before this whole Dream Girls thing! If this is her time to shine so be it, good luck to her.

  24. keisheloca

    This movie is really huge if they holding press conferences. i heard bey was jealous too

  25. bumpagyal

    ppl mite h8 me 4 dis post bt bey looks white!! jeez look @ her!! dis aint a “group” of african americans cos dey a white person among den…oo gosh ere comes da abuse!! bt otherwise shes gt talent n shes great…n j.hudson looks fabulous!! n i still love eddie no mata wat ppl say…he made me laugh durin ma childhood yrs :) !!

  26. malcolm

    ppl love to make up shyt. anyone who saw the play know that Effe role was the stronger one. So I dont see where the competition between the two come in. The director almost never use beyonce after visiting one of her performance. she’s so powerful on stage. The director has to ask her to tone down. because Deena is suppose to be quite. If deena was played as a strong person in the first part of the movie ppl who saw the play would have complaine that they change the play for beyonce. Jennifer will shine in this movie but in the long run she will not out shine beyonce. dont think hollywood are gonna start giving her movie (Real talk) she does not fit the hollywood profile skinny ass bitches halley won the oscar what have she done latley?. even if jennifer won the oscar and I hope she does beyonce will always get movies over her because she will put ppl in the seats. We should just enjoyed the movie because dreamgirls will get rid of the ghost of soul plane.

  27. DAMIEN

    I think I’d see Will’s movie over this one. I saw the actual play years ago and I’d like to leave perfection well enough alone. I might have to re-evaluate tho’ cuz I likes me some JHud. I heard Bey slighted JHud to but that’s just what I HEARD.

  28. ImHere

    @1 I have seen the movie, and Dreamgirls (the movie) does not HARDLY evolve around BEYONCE.. I dont know where you got that from.. but it is false. Try to get the correct facts next time

  29. Big J

    Iz it me or is beyonce lookin’ really light thses dayz?

  30. nibblet

    I can’t wait for this movie. I’m glad that Jennifer Hudson is finally getting recognition. I haven’t been to see a movie in a year (The day I had my daughter I was supposed to go see Madea), but I am not missing this one. Nosireebob

  31. PAT

    its funny how beyonce started out saying this was her role of a life time and she was born to play this role and everything and then when j hud starts to get the most shine she begins promoting deena as a supporting role which is what it was made to be in the first place

  32. ms_mac1

    I can’t think of another black movie that recieved this much buzz since Roots.

  33. malcolm

    its always fat ugly insecure black like midnight bitches always hating on beyonce it started on the plantation and if havent stop it only get worst in cyberspace ugly ass bytches always hate on ppl who is of light complextion. none of you know this woman you dont shyt about her . you make shyt up and end up believing it. Beyonce is here to stay bytches so get use to it the sad part is black ppl would support a white artist over beyonce. you have ppl suporting JT,Xtina & qwen stefani when we all know they’re just pimping our culture .Do you haters ever wonder why their was never a succesful slave rebellion in the united states unlke Jamaica & Hati, because of haters like what we see on this board. Niggas always try to tear down their own. Harriet tubman said it best “i freed a lot of slaves .I could free more but they did not know they were slaves”

  34. PAT

    #34 it aint that serious
    beyonce has the rite to milk her career as much as she wants while she’s still hot and people also have their rite to get tired her as well
    i’m personally tired of her, but not a hater,,i cant wait to see everybody in the movie

  35. damshespretty

    Jennifer is glowing, she looks great. Bee is looking just like Tina the older she gets. The movie seems like it’s going to be great.

    I have to disagree with Malcom. I think after this preformance Jennifer will be a contender for Beyonce in the acting & music world. Peoplel are praising her acting and the girl can sing her ass off.

    We all know how you start off regular in Hollywood then evolve to something else. Next year Jennifer could be 120 pounds! Beyonce is the perfect exsample of that. She went from about 140 to 118. If you see her in person she is very small. And definitly no longer thick. She still has a cute figure but not the body she had. (Don’t act like ya’ll remember that she has no knees. LOL)

  36. T_dubya

    Kudo’s to #8! Let’s just celebrate the talent of all of the actors/celebrities involved in this soon-2-be award winning film. This is a celebration of talent. Yes, Beyonce is talented and one of the most famous members involved in this project so of course she’s going to draw a lot of attention, and I’m am sure that’s why she was cast for this movie as well. Stop hating and celebrate the talent of these gifted individuals! H-Town Representing!

  37. halcyonc

    Beyonce looks pretty in this picture as does Jennifer.

  38. halcyonc

    Jamie looks “special” as ususal. Ugh.

  39. tianni

    I read some of the above posts.

    #12
    WOW!

    &, well the way the MOVIE DREAM GIRLS has been ADVERTISED & PROMOTED, back from when it was FIRST being BROUGHT TO THE PUBLIC…”INITIALLY” we were led to BELIEVE that BEYONCE is the LEAD ROLE in the movie. & had I not had any prior KNOWLEDGE to the BROADWAY version of DREAM GIRLS I would have believed she had the leading ROLE as well.

    I dont know what BEYONCE is saying to the PRESS & MEDIA “CURRENTLY”. But I know when word was just getting out about this movie she was hinting at the PUBLIC that this may just be her OSCAR WINNING ROLE. & she was VERY EXCITED about it. It seems that AFTER the film/trailor- was PREVIEWED (be the CELEBS)and all the RAVE REVIEWS started leaking about J.HUDSONS performance in the movie, BEYONCE begins to accept that this may not be her OSCAR winning ROLE after all.

    I dont know what OPRAH show people have seen but the one I saw on TV BEYONCE did not appear to be WARM SPIRITED, & infact appeared to be a little JEALOUS of the attention J. HUDSON was getting from the audience & OPRAH. If BEYONCE wasn’t “jealous–she would not have felt compelled to make mention of her having a acting coach for the movie & telling us she felt that she has done her BEST ACTING WORK in this movie as well. Beyonce made that statement almost in tears. (dont believe me? watch the OPRAH show again & observe her)

    #12–I dont know where you got your information, but I DON’T find it hard to believe.

    & for the record BEYONCE’s performance was not that GREAT at the end of OPRAH.

  40. I think people are really gonna be surprised with JHud and that other girl…by the way, why don’t I ever see her at any of these press conferences? She must have a small part, but she is the other member in the group. I think JHud might actually outshine B in this movie, especially if this her very first movie and basically still being one of us (not famous) cuz she only did American Idol. But they’re gonna use B cuz they know how much we all love to talk about her! We’ll see, but all the other movies I’ve seen with Beyonce were never that good of acting to me. I think it’s her speaking voice, it can sound a bit deep and monotone sometimes.

  41. halcyonc

    On a side note,I love some of the clothes at the top of the screen.

  42. KITA bka NewNubianEmpress

    WHERE IS ANIKA ROSE????

    ALSO, Jennifer’s hair is an A+ since the Oprah show—that wig was HORRID!

    They all look nice….

    WHERE IS ANIKA???

  43. lorr

    @ 34 You need to realise that it ain’t serious. Don’t spoil the blog by taking it to a personal level.

  44. halcyonc

    MALCOLM…”Midnight bitches”. How dare you! That comment shows your ignorance more than anything else. Assuming all ladies who don’t like Beyonce are dark skinned as if that is a negative. To quote Harriet Tubman after you insulted half of the black population is hypocrisy at its best. Take your shackles off man. How ironic. *sucks teet*

  45. KITA bka NewNubianEmpress

    Did Bey get a boob job???

    Oh, and I like her hair color—now she can own it again b/c after her, it seemed like every lightskinned singer was coming out w/ blonde hair and I was tired of it.

  46. vexxed

    I saw the play when I was a little girl. The casting is PERFECT!!!!! I can’t wait.

  47. phillylala

    tianni, what does Bey speaking on her own experience have to do with jealousy? I will never get why people dislike her so much! Why is everyone trying to make this thing with her and Jennifer into a catfight? people always do that with women! Why can’t they both just be great singers and actors in their own right? You don’t see anyone turning the fact that Eddie and Jamie are both in the movie into a competion do you? It’s so sexist.

    Anyway, I’m so glad Bey got rid of that damn big ass hair for awhile. It doesn’t always have to be so “done”! And man if she doesn’t look like Mama Tina here!!!

  48. KITA bka NewNubianEmpress

    I need a bitch-slap for comment #34. Angel LA, Tianna, Brian….somebody plz just slap him! LOL

    How was everyone’s holiday?!!!!

  49. DIVINE_VIXINE

    J HUD LOOKING SO GOOD.. ALL RELAXED AND REFRESHED!! B LOOKS LIKE HER MAMA.. BUT STILL OK!!1

    WAS NOT SURE I WANTD TO SEE THE MOVIE BECAUSE OF THE GIRLS(B’S) ACTING BUT NOW IM LOOKING FORWARD TO CHECKING IT OUT… :-)

  50. KITA bka NewNubianEmpress

    I actually think she looks younger and more beautiful in these pics.

    I dont see her mom in these pics—or Solange—I just see her, normally, her pics, IMO, can be slated towards looking like Solange or Mama Tina.

  51. melisus

    Thank you JSCENE I appreciate that. I read that same thing about her too and I feel it has truth to it.If you saw Oprah you can see the tension all over Beyonce’s face when Jen came out.@21 you know you need to stop its really not that deep.To the people that keep saying let’s keep this a positive post.The purpose of the post is to give our point of views good or bad so please stop with hater this and hater that.It is getting a little old now.

  52. damshespretty

    WHAT!!!!!!!! When Bee came out she was rockin darker hair and braids. Then all of a sudden she was blond and dressing better.

    J. LO was big then and Beyonce took her whole style. I don’t have a problem with Bee, but let’s give credit where it’s due. Beyonce did not start a blond hair trend. Personally, I think Bee’s hair JUST started looking good in the past couple of years. And it’s hit and miss at best just like her outfits.

    J. Lo was just voted the best dressed woman in the WORLD! The woman always looks flawless.

  53. jscene

    @ 17

    FIRST YOU ILLITERATE, WHERE IN THE HELL IN MY POST DID I SAY BEYONCE THREATENED J. HUD? CAN YOU READ? MAYBE YOU SHOULDN’T BE IN SUCH A RUSH TO ATTACK PEOPLE, OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES AND READ..IN MY SHORT PARAGRAPH, I NEVER SAID BEYONCE THREATENED J. HUD. SO WHO’S MAKING UP SHIT NOW, DUMB BITCH!

    YOU KNOW WHAT, IF YOU ARE GOING TO COME ON HERE AND TRY AND CALL ME A FUCKIN LIAR, YOU SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE THE CONVICTION TO POST YOUR NAME…

    AND I’M NOT TRYING TO START RUMORS. I READ THAT ON MEDIATAKEOUT.COM. AND ANYONE CAN GO THERE RIGHT NOW AND READ WHAT I JUST READ. IT’S A BLOG JUST LIKE THIS ONE, SO IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHAT WAS SAID, YOU SHOULD GO TO THAT SITE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. SO SORRY, BOO BOO, IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE, YOU SHOULD DO LIKE BEYONCE’S DAD DID AND WRITE A LETTER THERE. I HAVE NO REASON TO MAKE UP SHIT ABOUT ANY OF THE CELEBRITIES FEATURED. IT’S COMING FROM YOUR MOUTH SO PERHAPS THAT’S YOUR STYLE. AND EVEN IF I DON’T LIKE A CELEBRITY, DON’T MEAN I WOULD TOTALLY PULL SOMETHING OUT MY ASS AND POST IT. AND I NEVER SAID I DIDN’T LIKE BEYONCE, I WAS JUST GIVING J. HUD HER PROPS, BUT IF I DIDN’T LIKE BEYONCE I WOULD SAY IT WITHOUT BLINKING TWICE.

    SO YOU’RE THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO STOP MAKING UP STUFF, IF YOU WANT ATTENTION, THEN JUST POST A LITERATE COMMENT AND KEEP IT MOVING BITCH; NO NEED TO TRY AND START A CYBER FIGHT, IT WOULDN’T BE FAIR CAUSE YOU’RE UNARMED, YOU HAVE NO BRAIN.

    ANYONE WHO WANTS TO READ THE STORY GO TO MEDIATAKEOUT.COM.

  54. KITA bka NewNubianEmpress

    #53—J lo is NOT BLACK…I said:

    “After Beyonce, every LIGHTSKINNED [blk implied] singer was coming out rocking it”.

    i.e.: Christina Milian, Ciara, some other girls that I cant think of right now.

    And, if u want to get technical, LIL KIM was the FIRST–b4 J-ho b4 Beyonce b4 n e one else.

    J-lo came out on in-living color and her ass was rocking blk hair—she STOLE Mariah’s style look-wise, so…nuff said.

    Thank you…have a nice day.

  55. LMAO

    HA!HA!HA!HA! You people are really sad. Especially # 40. LMAO!!!! And you are right it wasn’t Great it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beyonce is on top and this movie is going to help her out even more. This is her 5th movie even with her horrible acting so just think of what roles she will get after this movie. Lets she her album is on top of the charts and Irreplaceable is kiling the charts. She has 9 Grammy’s and has accomplished more than any star at the age of 25 so all this negative talk about her is doing nothing but making her even richer and more famous. People love to dis the pretty girl, I remember when Letoya’s album dropped and everyone dissed Bey, saying how Letoya would shine and outsell her and so on, well even with all the hate Beyonce is Plat getting ready to go double plat. album sales increasing week by week, single doing outstanding and Letoya isn’t even on the charts period so keep dissing her b/c all that is doing is making her work harder and move successful. While you guys are typing and dissing, slaving at your 9-5. Jennifer has alot of work to do more than one movie to even get to Beyonce’s level. And singing doesn’t have anything to do with it. It’s plenty of healthy women that sing circles around Bey but are the bigger than her?? Now all the people want to jump on J-huds bandwagon b/c she did her thang in the movie, where were you when American Idol was going on? She still the same woman with the same voice but you let Tasia beat her out. Only praising her b/c she did her thang after this movie most of you will forget about her. If anyone else would have played Deena you would not be praising J-hud like this.

  56. jscene

    I TOTALLY CO-SIGN #40 & 52

    AND YES, MELISUS, I SEEN THE TENSION THROUGH THE FAKE SMILE ON BEY’S FACE ON J. HUD CAME OUT ON THE STAGE AND THE CROWD STOOD UP FOR HER. SHE WAS PROBABLY THINKING, WAIT, THIS IS HER FIRST FILM, THEY SHOULDN’T BE GIVING HER THAT ATTENTION. BUT I THINK THAT’S TO HER CREDIT. THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE HAD SEEN A SPECIAL SCREENING OF THE FILM, SO THEY KNEW WHO DESERVED PROPS. ANIKA ROSE ALSO WAS GIVEN PROPS WHEN SHE CAME OUT.

  57. Jorjapeach

    I saw a pre-screening of the movie and Jennifer Hudson stills the show. I’m not going to be a hater, they all did there thing! Yeah, B is looking just like Ms. Tina. Eddie is looking Gay! Jennifer has lost a lot of weight and she is looking good!

  58. Sha

    Beyonce looks like Tina Knowles’ twin. As she gets older, momma Knowles emerges. WOW. I’m very proud of Jennifer Hudson. I just don’t know if I’ll see this film. I adored the broadway play and it was close to perfection.
