I guess it's official - Knowles in Dreamgirls

Beyonce Knowles is negotiating to star in DreamWorks' "Dreamgirls," the Bill Condon-directed adaptation of the Broadway hit that's a thinly veiled story of the rise of Diana Ross and the Supremes.

Yep. I'm sure the Beyonce stans will invade the board tomorrow to crow about her being cast in the movie.

Wow. Some of you guys suck.

Just because Beyonce's considering "starring" in the film doesn't mean that she'll be portraying Effie. And she would be stellar in the supporting roles. She's gorgeous, and she has a great voice. ESPECIALLY for the type of music in "Dreamgirls". To say otherwise is just sophomoric.

Here's why Beyonce can have this role..because she's BEAUTIFUL. And she can SING. And she's probably miles ahead of you talentless wannabes in all possible ways.

So here's a crazy idea. Why don't you people wait to see her in it BEFORE you judge? There have been a lot of people who I've seen in roles that were SO much better than I expected them to be. Getting all bent out of shape just BECAUSE she's a mainstream performer is just as asinine as assuming that Broadway performers can't make the leap to mainstream.

Man, some of you people suck.

the only reason beyonce is being cast in the film is they need a big name believe what you want.

They are half assing this film not taking time out to go look for new talent.

Kavana thank you for posting your picture. I always suspected you were an ugly bitch. My suspicions have been confirmed.

She's only negotiating. So nothing is official just yet. So you guess wrong, silent.

My guess is that she will get this role, and when she does I will not come on here and gloat. I'll just take comfort in knowing that it'll be pissing so many people on this board off. That's good enough for me.

I never said your posting was about me. Where in my post does it state that? Do you only see what you want to see? If that's the case you need to focus on what is being written and develop your reading comprehension skills. (OOPS! Did I just *read* you?)

Oh and another thing before I let you go DO NOT PM ME because they will go UNREAD.

Okay I'm done waisting my time on the likes of you.

As other's said, Knowles can sing, and I think she's great for a role. I mean, they had to cast at least one big name, it's DreamWorks' thing. They always get the worst voices. But I think this time they got it right.

I'm not particularly fond of her, but I also think she makes a logical Deena. If they try to make her Effie, though, I'll have serious problems.

Bill Condon is an excellent director and screenwriter. He's been able to get great performances out of actors I never thought twice about before (read: Brendan Fraser in "Gods and Monsters").

Eh. I can see it, I guess.
I think she lacks the innocent, naturally glamorous effortlessness that Deena has to be.
I think Beyonce is complicated, vocally and looks-wise, and not simple.

Deena doesn't riff.
I hope Condon or whoever directs won't let her riff.

Now they have to find a BRILLIANT Effie and Lorrell.

Personally, I think I have too much bloom.

I think she is a fine choice for Deena.
