“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”

“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

Screen Gems topper Clint Culpepper is finalizing cast deals, working with Knowles’ and Larter’s reps to iron out scheduling kinks. Knowles is also producing and co-starring as Etta James in “Cadillac Records” for Sony BMG; Larter is working on episodes of NBC’s “Heroes.”
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…

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

@ 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.

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.

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!
