Oprah had this to say about the film:
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Winfrey said in a statement. “The moment I saw Push: Based on the Novel by Sapphire, I knew I wanted to do whatever I could to encourage other people to see this movie.
“The film is so raw and powerful—it split me open.”

In a telephone interview to The Press Enterprise on Thursday morning, Etta James claims the comments she made about Beyonce Knowles last week, were just in good fun.
“I’m a comedian besides a singer. I wasn’t doing it to be hateful. I think I’m funny and she’s not the only one I’ll say something about.”
If you’ve been living under a rock somewhere then you might have missed our earlier story featuring the classic singer saying some not so nice things about the popular star.
However, the 71 year old James also make sure to note that she takes a lot of pride in her signature song and would have loved to sing it at the Inaugural Ball Event.
“She got up there and sang it and didn’t give me a chance to sing ‘At Last,’” James said.
Wonder what Beyonce thinks of all the Hoopla? Her reps have remained silent during the whole thing.
Etta James has lashed out at Beyonce weeks after Beyonce sang her classic song “At Last” for the Obamas’ first dance at the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball last month.
At a concert in Seattle last week, James told the crowd:
“I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her ass whooped,” sarcastically calling her “The great Beyoncé.”
And she went on.
“I can’t stand Beyoncé… [she] had no business … singing my song that I been singing forever.”
She even dissed the President:
“You know your President, right? You know the one with the big ears? He ain’t my President.”
Beyonce played James in “Cadillac Records,” and they seemed chummy at the premiere (pictured above) last December. James was unable to attend the inauguration for health reasons.
