Beyonce debuted her look as soul singer Etta James for the filming of Cadillac Records over the weekend. The film started production this month in New Jersey and Mississippi.
Bee was also spotted earlier this weekend hiding from paparazzi as she left Waverly Inn with Jay-Z. See the candids after the cut…

Aren’t we all just tired of these same celebs doing the same movies. I know there are plenty of capable actresses out there who could have played Etta James. I love beyonce as a singer but I am tired of her, and unless she is acting in a movie like “Losing Isaiah”, then I don’t want to see her imitate another back in the day singer.

i’m proud of Bey … but that’s cause i’m a die-hard fan … it’s HARD to please you people. She’s givin’ it all she got, so i could see how at least one day, she might want to NOT BE SEEN.

Oh and number 82 please learn how to type. I hope you don’t speak like you type. Instead of hating on Beyonce you need to worry about your own illiterate ass. SMH
This is a prime example of why nobody listens to haters. They are the main ones who don’t have their shit together then got the nerve to talk about somebody else. SMH

Not sure why an urban website would have so many people being negative toward a sister. I am orignially from the NO and now reside in Houston. If it had not been for Beyonce and the Survivor Foundation I really don’t know if I would be here today. The provided housing, clothes, counseling and financial help to my family. Really my sisters and brothers, we need to realize that words hurt and unless you have personally met this beautiful black woman or she has done something personal to you then you are not justified in your charcter attacks. White america looks at these urban blogs too and they are watching us tear each other down. I think she is a great artist and an inspiration. Love to all the beautiful black people!

MY TAKE ON IT IS THAT THEY’RE JUST MAD AS HELL AND THERE’S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT, BUT TRY TALK SHIT AS IF ANYBODY REALLY GIVES A DAMN WHAT THEIR OPINIONS ARE OR WHAT THEY THINK.
EVERY MOVIE THIS GIRL HAS BEEN IN HAS FEATURED A-LIST ACTORS WHO ADORE HER AS A PERSON AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH HER. NONE OF YALL BITCHES WHO ARE TALKING NEGATIVELY ABOUT HER KNOW HER PERSONALLY, SO YALL JUST NEED TO GET A FREAKIN GRIP AND GET ON YOUR GRIND SO YOU CAN BE IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT YOU..

Sit your dumbass down, in here hating and got a attitude like nobody is supposed to call you out for it. This site is not dedicated to tearing people down in case you didn’t know but at least you know you’re a hater. Some people come in here and talk sideways about people who are successful becuase they aren’t shit and have become acostmed to it and then try to hide it under the guise of constructive critisizm. You know your role, I like that. Keep doing you. Keep tearing folks down becuase you aint shit.

I am glad your situation has gotten better.
And the point you made is the point I was about to make. Its one thing you dont think she can act but tear the sista to pieces is not needed. Especially when other races (meaning white people) probably few this site, and figure if blacks tear their own people down then they shouldnt have a problem when we tear blacks down.
Whether you think she cant act, sing, or dance…at the end of the day she is still one of the sistas. Especially when we dont see or hear her doing anything negative like in and out of rehab, having babies left and right, and geting DUI’s…like those “other chicks”.
Just my thoughts…take it how you like.

I never thought anyone was talking to me personally, actually lol In reading the posts, I caught wind of the dreaded crabs blah blah speech and I immediately responded…”stop it, please” is what my last post is about, essentially… And, it was much-needed because it’s ridiculous to make that argument when 99% of the posts here are negative and hilarious… So, when it’s a certain artist we have to get profound? lol I actually don’t care if you call people haters (even me…call me one, I don’t care…It doesn’t linger in my mind…I kid you not) SO say whatever you want to, but PLLLLEEEAAAASSSEEE not the crab argument…it’s so lame at this point… It’s like, dude there are political posts here now…go argue about crabs there…it would be a more effective application of that whole theory… Here, it’s just lame and whiney…

It’s is fine you have a right to your opinion but isn’t the other artist black too and since they are black we shouldn’t tear them down as well? Just asking

THE ONLY REASON I FEEL AS IF SOMEONE SHOULD BE RIDICULED IS IF THEY ARE OUT THERE MISREPRESENTING THEMSELVES BY GETTING DUIS, SHOWING THEIR TITTIES, BEING AN ADDICT, OR DOING MISCELLANEOUS STUPID STUFF TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK SILLY.
WHEN WE HAVE SMART, TALENTED WOMEN AND MEN DOING THE DAMN THING, THEN NO IT’S NOT WARRATED REGARDLESS OF WHAT SITE IT IS.
THAT’S MY OPINION.
BUT I LOVE TO CALL OUT THOSE WHO TRY TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK GOOD BY PUTTING SUCCESSFUL BLACK FOLKS DOWN. THEY ASK FOR IT.

I still think it’s funny when people try to defend their needlessly negativity and deep seeded resentment of successful blacks with the argument “I am needleslly negative with every one posted on this site, why should so and so get special treatment becuase we’re both black, none of the other websites do it.”
because that justifiies it….
and # 105
becuase there are other more important issues displaying the crab in a barrell theory does that some how make this anyless true in this circumstance. I don’t think so.

Honey, trust me… If nobody was ever again negative toward a black celebrity, this site would sink faster than the Titanic. No, CL never directly insults celebs but they most definitely post sensational pictures and leading text…and do you know why? Because that’s the point… There have been fansites for years, if entertainment blogs merely echoed fansites, there would be nothing at all new or appealing in the medium. This is merely an issue of disgruntled fans… got your panties in a bunch? Go to a Beyonce fansite… This is not one and since it isn’t I will say what I want, when I want… All out of stuff to say now, though…lol

I see your point but I’ve seen hypocritical comments of uplifting Beyonce and tearing down other black females such as Ciara and Alicia. These two women have done their thing and have stayed out of trouble and even Rihanna has (despite what you think about her talent lol) are doing well in this industry but you have people who talk down on them and say they are not like Beyonce and will never be. I think that defeats the crabs and the barrels theory lol. I’m all about fair. I’m not a fan of Beyonce but however I don’t hate on her or discredit anything she has done. Just not a fan of her style of music. Does that mean I’m a hater or a self-hating coon who hates on black successful entertainers, or I’m just stating an opinion? I honestly don’t take these gossip blogs serious like some people on here though lol

Angela Bassett doesn’t look like Tina Turner, but she played that role quite well. The point is that she got the role, and everybody who’s being jealous (as usual) shouldn’t be in the movie theatre when it comes out, but of course, you’ll turn up anyway so you can have a reason to playerhate her for two hours straight.
And nobody with as much money and success as she has can’t be labeled as “pathetic”.

She has performed in over 30 countries, and shes already been recongnized as: Best International Artist2007, Entertainer Of The Year2003, She was the first Black woman to win more then 4 grammys in one night, first black woman to receive songwriter of the year on the NAACP awards.

If she went to the Waverly Inn she knew paparazzi would be outside. They’re out there every night, she could have sent an assistant to pick up her food if she didn’t want to be photographed. Maybe she got a pimple over dinner or fell and busted her lip leaving her table lol. These celebs confuse the ish out of me w/the things they do though lol.

I was thinking the same thing when I first saw the pic of her coming out the trailer. I was like she look likes Beyonce in a bad wig lol. But then I thought to myself I’m going to give her a chance cause she has always played the cute, nice but kinda selfish diva, or somebody that isn’t that much a departure of her character. Now Etta James said it herself that she was a bit arrogant and didn’t care about shit for real when she was younger. Now i think that this will be a good role for her cause she has to work to show that she’s more than an one dimensional actress and maybe she will get a lil bit more respect.
Now on to the second pic……………Now people are questioning why she is hiding her face. Who gives a fuck to be honest. Maybe she is being smart and trying to keep a low key cause she been here there and everywhere especially for the past 2yrs.

I have read numerous comments that were crazy or somewhat good.
1.One thing for sure I believe Beyonce got this role for merely ticket sales. There are many great actresses out there and I’m sorry but Beyonce is not one of them. This does not take away from her singing capabilities at all. She is great in the music industry but there’s a list of black actresses who could have easily portrayed Etta James. ie: Tisha Campbell.
2. There are too many people in this post that automatically associate success with the amount of money a person has. Just because someone disagrees with Beyonce does not make them a hater. It makes them opinionated. It also does not mean that they are some lonely unsuccessful person sitting on the couch. They are leaving comments just like you.
3. When was Etta ever small?..I thought she was always a chunky woman.

No Beyonce fan here, especially not her acting, but that hustle is so fierce. I’m in awe of just the pure wok ethic and go-get ‘em-ness. Not everybody is going to like this woman and there’s nothing wrong with voicing that opinion, but there is no denying that her status is quite amazing and her star status will probably burn for a long time because she is taking advantage of her talent.

De ja vu? Ring the alarm? Uprgrade you?
Those songs are hardly good examples of how Bey is or will ever be on the same par as Tina or Diana ross. Those songs are some of her worst and in fact shes only really had a few great hits outside of destinys child.
A legend is an artist whose music we listen to years and even decades after it was released, like the Supremes, Tina or Marvin Gaye. I hardly ever listen to any of DC’s old songs with the exception of a few, and I hardly ever listen to Beys music. Other than crazy in love and bootyliciosu I doubt most people will listen to any of her songs in the future unless she comes back with a killer third album.
The reality is that Bey has a devoted stan/fan base, but in terms of good quality music shes failed to prove herself. Yes shes a great entertainer but musically she fails to impress most people. She still has a lot of work to do if she wants to be put in the same category as the legendery soul/r&b musicians. Just stating the facts Im not hating, but unlike these hysterical fans I am realistic.
Yes Bey has a decent voice and can perform well live but she can’t act, she needs to just accept it and work on actually making some good records cause she hasn’t done that in a while.

@ #55 and #63, I totally agree with you. I Co-sign big time!!!
@ # 92 I understand what you are saying and I am happy to know that you appreciate all that she has done for you and your family. However, I too am from the NO. Born, raised and educated there. But what you are missing is that this was the case of a nice big juicy tax write off. And good exposure. I lived in Houston for two years and had noticed what looked to be many thousands of homeless people there. Pre-Katrina. Texas is the wealthiest state period. I saw blocks and blocks and more blocks of homeless people. It was shocking and hurtful. The homeless has their very own community there. Now here is the big kick in the ass…Are you ready?!!! The House of Derion is smack damn in the middle of this homeless community. It has a very tall fence that surrounds this building,along with a huge tour looking bus with Ms. Bey’s face all over it. And the homeless stand around this building,camping out,surrounding this place. Therefore, making it totally impossible to ignore these people, because that is all you see. Whites, blacks, hispanics, Young and old. Fortunately, I found a church that cared enough to help as many people as we could. Mind you none of us are wealthy but found this to be our mission. AND some of us were Katrina & Rita victims. Without the tax write offs and notoriety. No one to try to impress to win over fans. And to add to insult. She is donating money towards drug rehabs. Where was this great idea before the making of this movie? Why weren’t these ideas in effect prior to? Believe me I am a fan of her hustle, her drive is one thing I cannot knock. But to me it’s all one big show, trying to prove herself at any cost. while not really having a true heart about it. And this shows. You can fool some people sometimes, but you can’t fool everyone all of the time. I believe her real success will come when she is truly humle. And I don’t mean financial success.

SHE HAS WORKED WITH ALOT OF LEGENDS IN HER LIFETIME AND SHE HELD HER OWN WITH PRINCE, STEVIE, LUTHER, TINA, BONO FROM U2, CELINE DION ETC! SHE CAN DO AN GET ME BODIED ONE MINUTE AND DEEP SONG LIKE FLAWS & ALL THE NEXT, LIKE YOU SAID SHE IS AN ENTERTAINER. NOT JUST SOME VOCALIST WHO CAN BELT OUT BALLADS ALL DAY! WE DONT WANT THAT FROM BEYONCE, A YOUNG WOMAN WITH SO MUCH ENERGY AND WHO IS SUCH A JOY TO WATCH! THATS WHAT MAKES BEYONCE SO SPECIAL THESE DAYS IMO! HER VERSITLITY TO DO FROM UP-TEMPOS TO BALLADS AND SO ON & STILL GIVE YOU ONE HELL OF A SHOW!

EXACTLY but most of her fans can’t see past anything but her. they don’t understand what it takes to be a legend. it doesn’t help that the quality of music isn’t the same anymore. inow in order to listen to quality music, you have to throw out your radio and dig into the indie scene.
and bee performing with legends doesn’t make her one. bee has fans BUT most ppl don’t respect her MUSIC. i’m in college and i have yet to meet someone who thinks her music is legendary. all her music is shallow. great performer , pretty voice but nowhere near the level of women like tina and others. her music is as “deep” as britney’s music. the difference bet. the two women is that bee can sing
anyway i will not be seeing this film BUT i will read the reviews and if they’re good, i’ll watch it. i highly doubt they’ll be good

Why is it when a celebrity does something (or anybody with money for that matter) idiotic people always have to say it’s a tax writeoff? You don’t get to write-off the whole amount which is my number 1 point. Secondly, WHO THE FUCK CARES IF THEY GET A TAX WRITE-OFF??? Would you rather they not give anything, or just say I am going to give you this money but don’t give me the tax benefit? That shit is so stupid, it’s in anyone’s best interest, rich or not to pay as little taxes as possible, that doesn’t make your charitable donation any less heartfelt or charitable, it just means you were smart enough to get some good tax advice!

One thing about Beyonce is she keeps all the jealous black women mad. They say she needs to sit down and another album is put out. They say she can’t act and needs to give REAL actresses a chance, then comes another movie. They say Beyonce is overexposed and she goes right ahead and endorses more products.
You just have to love Beyonce’s tenacity. She keeps the haters under her feet. I’m no fan but I respect her hustle. She rains on all the haters. LOL

You see these celebs at the Oscars all done up. It is amazing what clothes, make-up and an expensive wig can do to make these celebs stunning. But if you remove it they’re just one in the crowd.
I don’t think we realize how we worship some celebs. If they didn’t have their money to do all of that primping we probably wouldn’t even look twice if we saw them on the street.

What the American Idol J. Sparks - She fits this role more than B. But maybe J cant act.

# 95 you mentioned the “H” word several times in your post. Do you not know how to articulate your position without becoming so defensive and resorting to middle school name calling? My Goodness SMH
#92 I respect your opinion and I did hear that the Knowles family helped ppl who were affected by Katrina.
If I were you I would be in love with them too lol. I’m glad you’re okay.
