Fantasia told MTV news this week that Oprah is working on the second movie adaptation of “The Color Purple” but, as a musical this go around – and yes, she is going to star in the film:
“We haven’t started yet because I’m going to work on my album. I think it’s fair that I committed myself, and promised that after I finish going on a tour, I’ll be ready to come back and commit myself to Miss Celie again,” Fantasia explained. “I miss my music”
So impressed with her command of the role, Oprah & Co. are going to wait for Fantasia to be ready before moving ahead with the movie to musical to movie musical adaptation, the singer beamed.
“They’re going to work with me. They don’t have to [but] that’s a favor,” Fantasia said. “Working with someone like Miss Oprah who’s so talented and amazing – It’s a blessing.” READ MORE
Oprah love her some Fantasia don’t she? Well we shall be anticipating this film…

Beyonce is serious with her acting this year. With the exciting news of her playing Etta James in Cadillac Records, Variety reported today she will be doing another film with “The Wire”‘s Idris Elba titled Obsessed:
Steve Shill will direct a script by David Loughery. Will Packer produces, and Knowles will be exec producer along with her father, Mathew Knowles.

In “Obsessed,” Elba will play an asset manager who has a knockout wife (Knowles) and thriving career until a temp office worker (Larter) begins stalking him. READ MORE
Good for Beyonce, trying to build up her acting resume…
KELLY ADMITS TO BREAST IMPLANTS
Rumors were going around after a few recent bikini photos, that Kelly Rowland had breast implants. E! News reported this week that Kelly admitted to People magazine she did infact, have minor breast enhancement:
The singer came to the revelation on the upcoming issue of People magazine, saying that the surgery took place in October last year in Houston. The reason she did it, according to Jen Garcia from People, is not because she wants to compete with her former bandmate Beyonce Knowles but because one of the things, is to fit into designer outfits. She, reportedly has wanted this operation since she was 17. On choosing what size she wants, the magazine quoted her as saying, “…simply went from an A-cup to a B-cup… I didn’t want double Ds and be a little bitty size 2, that would look nuts!”. WATCH VIDEO
Well she fooled me at least, but then again I don’t look at her breast often so…
Congratulations to Fantasia and Beyonce….
But another Color Purple movie? It’s overload. I know it’s supposed to be a musical, but they would be better off taping the actual Broadway show.
well I know getting breast implants is like slapping GOD in the face but everyone is required to live up to their mistakes…..But wait she’s her own being so that means if she’s doing it for the lime light so be it cause really that’s how some people expect celebrities to look, It shallow but why else do you go and get the same DAMN hair styles, If someone comes out with shoes…. you do what…. you go get em. The good voice is okay, but if got the look hey. now that don’t mean sell your soul,dignity
just to make some chips. she’s beautiful, good voice. I think she did it because she wants to fit into bras. And wack ass career! it’s not all that, not only she can live up to her expectations without an audience. She has a wonderful voice,You got to admit LIKE THIS WAS hot!!!!!! And just think if beyonce did that, they would have been all on her ass about it. YOU REMEMBER HOW IT WAS ABOUT THE FUR!!! and Kelly should have waited til she got pregnant, Lord knows how much TIT you get from one baby!!!!!!!!
Now ya’ll need to stop hating on beyonce she’s talented and really if GOD gave ya’ll a voice ya’ll would do everything to showcase that. If the Lord gave it to you way not flaunt it………..in a good positive way. And DREAMGIRLS was banging and I thought they told you before the movie came out it was a remake of the play, it’s a freaking muscial, Duh you know damn well almost all the plays are muscial. So really it’s not based on acting, but singing reflects on your emotions at the time that your in it.To me that acting. And the Oscars have catergories for musicals. That my opinion, SO THINK WHAT YA WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIHANNA & CIARA have anything to say
Ooh! At least we have a positive black women taking over the world, At least she’s trying to do something with her LIFE! I’m Sick of other blacks coming down on other blacks, Cause it sounds like jealousy and envy, Well it comes with the Money! It’s a great life to have, Able to do what you like for a living AND making money at the same time!!!!! Like myself I’m a Doctor you don’t think some of the girls in my neighborhood playerhated, I told them I may have a PHD and it don’t mean player hating degree!!!!! You know this is white america but not no more when my guy OBAMA hit whitehouse…… Really the BLACK HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
@120 Walter. Please bury the word hater and I don’t wanna be rude but I had a hard time reading your post. Maybe you should read it, make corrections, and submit it again. ex. your type to type. maybe you meant to type……your time to type. The post will eventually get up there so take your time hun.
Beyonce.
In a movie NOT based on a true story…
So………….she’ll actually have to CREATE a character’s consciousness this time?
Jesus, take the wheel, cause we are headed for certain doom.
>>>>>>To fit into designer clothes? Is Kelly serious? Yes, everyone was born today!
Well, DAMN #68… Something tells me you’re a DUDE with lots of ESTROGEN ::side-eye::
Love how Bee keep the haterz on the edge of her seat. Folks can’t understand how she’s bless. I think the more haterz she gets, the more blessings she receives! Folks, God don’t like ugly. You are a part of her success.
Congrats Fantasia! Keep your head up and keep receiving the blessings from God. Folks on this blog are not bless because they are filled with hatred.
Kelly is so fab!
Why are people so mad because Beyonce is on her grind. Saying things like I’m sick of her or why don’t she take a break and go pop out some of Jays kids. Well what if I got on the blogs and said I’m sick of haters being mad and so negative about someone you don’t even know. Would you stop posting your comments on here? No, so stop worrying about what Beyonce is doing in her life and do you. She don’t have to buy no role they will come to her just for her being who she is. If the haters don’t like it to bad. If you think she can’t act once again to bad because she is going to keep making that money while yall sit on the computer spewing hate over something you can do nothing about. So I say instead of talking about what she can’t do good focus on what you can’t do and make yourself better.
#53 if your dumb ass knew what exec. prod. meant you would have never responded to my post, you obviously don’t know the business dealings of hollywood so I aint gonna get mad. Anybody that knows anything about the business knows the only reason she got this part as well as “etta james” role is because shes financing part of the film which wouldnt be a bad thing if people really wanted to work with her. She’s picking up projects that didnt have enough money, and they take her on only because she’s paying for it but she could never get in a film with a list actors because Hollywood has given her numerous chances and she’s bombed every time. She’s a hollywood casualty and yall dont know it. If she messes up these two movie projects you can expect her to be dropped from her label at anytime. She’ll be where Mariah Carey was 4 years ago…
I loooooooooove Fantasia! I’m a huge fan and its great the musical is comming to film cause everybody can’t make it to New York and pay for them high ass tickets. lol! So I’ excited for her album as well.
Go head Beyonce! keep getting them roles!! (she don’t plan on stopping untill she get the oscar you guys)
Kelly thats wassup. Nothing wrong with implants to fit into some hot clothes. I’m just glad she had enough sense not to over do it.
I AM ON TOP OF THE ROOF FOR FANTASIA!!! A new album and a new movie!
Get it Bee. She’s going to do great in the role!
Some of you B-stans are delusional, the fact is B can’t act for nothing. True actors actually act and perform on stage before hitting big screens. B will never get that concept together.
When someone speaks their mind, that actually does not go with the flow of the post, Why are they labeled a hater? I have watched most movies that B has been in, and I agree with so many, that she can’t act. If you put her in this role, the only people who are actually going to give it a chance are some of her singing stans, but I am not a fool to fall for the gimmick, I have already given B a chance, and my conclusion is that she can’t act for shit.
I’ll give more credit to Gabrielle Union, before I mention B as an actor. B is good for singing and that’s it. Sorry to break your spirit but the truth is the truth.
Hate to burst your bubble RoseB, but Steve Martin, Cuba Gooding, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy are all A-List actors. Don’t loose your blessings over Bee. Let it go! Her blessings are from God. Your hating can’t stop her blessings, but they may block your blessings. Let Go and Let God!
The Bee haters are so over the top! If you don’t want to watch her movies, don’t watch them!LOL It’s America! You have a choice.
Don’t block your blessings because of your hatred!
Ok, now I can take Fannie off my SMH list. I read somewhere that she was callin in sick for CP shows and singing elsewhere cause “she missed her music”…….
But that can’t be the case if Oprah is still working w/her….right?
Congrads to B on landing her role. Etta James is the truth so she had betta bring it.
And at all times she is to stay 3 feet away from the beautiful Mr Idris “daym he fine” Elba or me and B (and likely her bodyguards lol) will have a serious problem.
AND:
As for Kelly and her big ol biddies,
Boo! DO U!
U Still a fab chick.
Now u start cuttin on your face and ima have to clown u.
I’m sorry, it’s my job.
kind

@ provost
ROTFLMAO
And to all the B-fans calling those that don’t agree that Beyonce is a great actress a hater, please calm down. People are entitled to their opinions PERIOD. Some of y’all act like they’ve insulted you directly or ya mama.
BREAST IMPLANTS ARE OLD SCHOOL!!!! _ I DNT CARE!!!
BUT GWAN BEY!!!!!
I knew it, that is why she has been wearing low cut shirts and people said I was hating. No you idiots I knew she was trying to show the ta tas all the damn time for a reason, now she just needs ass implants,ohhh how hollywierd makes people act stupid, whatever!
Congrats to Beyonce & Fantasia! It’s great to hear about black people doing well.
Why is Jennifer Hudson’s name being brought up in this post? She’s already an Academy Award winning actress with movies under her belt with BIG NAME actors and actresses that have not come out yet!
You guys can hate all you want…..but Ms. Hudson has something that Beyonce and Fantasia can only dream about lol!
Academy Award Winner Jennifer Hudson…..i lovez it!
I will glad to see Beyonce doing acting roles with out her character sining. Thats what she is known for so I think she should stop and go into more emotional characters. I want to see if B is going to be a baddie or a goodie in HEROES.
Again congrats to Fantasia , Paula said on American Idol that you were a triple threat and she didn’t lie,
Author, TV Movie, Award Winning Broadway Actress, Platinum selling recording artist now a Hollywood movie and to top it all off OPRAH LOVES YOU!!
Congrats to Beyonce also girlfriend really knows how to keep her game on, she has it all and i’m proud of you!
Go Fanny! Ugh Kelly We Saw The Air Bags Not Bouncing When U Tried Hard To Shake Them In The Mirror In The Like This Video While You Said Things About Ya Girl Done Changed We Not Slow
Go on Girl! Beyonce stay on her grind and she’s leaving her wannabees behind by stepping her movie game up. Not just in acting, but by producing these suckas. Black people would have more screen time if they did like Beyonce – don’t wait for the studios to “give” you the money. Use your own and make even more, especially if it’s successful. That’s when the studios come running wanting to fund black films.
Kelly looks good with A, B, C’s or D’s. Do you Kellz.
LOl @ ACE SAy THANKS!
stop tryna protect the haters. Nobody up in here sed “I dont like beyonce acting” and very few people just sed “Beyonce Cant Act” tht would be a hater, if that wat they belive then so be it but people are up on here like “BEYONCE CANT ACT FOR SHIT SHE NEEDS TO STICK TO SINGING THE ONLY REASON SHE GETS THE ROL IS CUZ SHE GONNA PAY FOR IT. HERE WE GO AGAIN BEYONCE TRYNA ACT> SHE CUD NEVA BE IN A OVIE WITH A LIST CELIBRITIES”. NOW thats HATING! and if u say thats not hating then u have a problem. and to the person that sed to check my spelling. This aint fuckin school i aint tryna get no grammer award i dont need to take my time u all not worth it, im just saying wat i gotta say i aint gonna be spell checking
they should’ve casted Beyonce as the stalker–then it would probably be worth buying at the video store
as for Kelly–the implants are done nicely but she’s wack for the designer clothes statement–she needs to admit she’s tryna compete with her best friend that she secretly hates
LET’S BE REAL
BEYONCE HAD A BOOB JOB TOO, AND SHE HASN’T FESSED UP.
BEWARE OF FALSE IDOLS!!!!
@ Walter
However people decided to phrase how they disliked Beyonce’s acting, it’s still their opinion and they are entitled to it. You can’t control the way people choose to express the varying degrees to which they dislike B’s acting. I am not trying to protect anyone. If anything, it’s B-stans like you that are acting like B’s PR firm as someone previously pointed out and trying to bully those with opinions you don’t like by making outrageous statements against them. Y’all are the ones who are way too concerned with protecting B’s image.
@ Walter…….I could actually picture you getting up in someones face about Beyonce, breathing hard, and getting flustered while trying to scream over everyone else. It’s not that serious honey. Get it together. You got alot of hostility in your SPEECHES that you are typing.
I agree w/ number 68. What yall say wont make a difference. Beyonce is still going to be rich beautiful talented and successful no matter what so she wins either way you put it.
I am really amazed how few comments there are regarding Kelly possibly posing for Playboy!!! What happened to her being classy??? What happened to all of the Christian talk??? This is why I stopped being a fan a while ago. Ppl are so damn phony. She thought that having Snoop in her ghetto video was going to do something. And her hanging out with Trina. Ugh. Whatever honey. Go sit down somewhere.
A Keys has never been preachy however she has more class than most of these artists put together. Thank God she has an album out. Finally some GOOD music from someone who is more into selling music than sex.
Just one of those rumors Kelly is not posing for Playboy.
Beyonce is a SACTRESS period. She’s a SANGER and an ACTRESS. She’s holding herself down in acting and you know she’s still the hottest in the singing category. She’s had 4 acting roles to date, 3 of which focused more on her beauty and emotions than acting. Can’t fault her for that. Now that she KNOWS what will take her there, she’s going after more emotional acting roles. And she’s going to nail this how she nails everything she does. Catch up haters.
I think Kelly’s breast look great on her. And I agree with her cup size, not too big to make it look silly on her, although I did notice right away
Go Kelly!
KELLY ISLEAVING OUT SOMETHING ELSE SHE HAD DONE………………….HER NOSE, AND WHEN IS BEYONCE GOING ADMIT TO HER NOSE JOB AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE, I;M NOT SAYING PLASTIC SURGERY IS RIGHT OR WRONG, BUT I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE “PRETENDING” LIKE THEY BORN WITH CERTAIN PARTICULAR FEATURES, OR HOW THEY JUST WORK OUT AND EAT RIGHT.
BE REAL ABOUT YOUR SELF
