"Its All Over" Lyric Changes?

Anyone know the reason for the two lyric changes in the movie version?
Instead of the new girl saying "I've seen enough fights in this business!" she says "I'm just breaking into this business!"
Also they took out the line "Wake up, baby, a star is a slave" and instead had Beyonce still screaming "YOUUUUU!"
*That site* has the evidence

The reason Michelle sings, "I'm just breaking into this business" is because, in the movie, instead of some rising singer that Curtis picked out of a lineup, she's his secretary.
I don't know about the other one.
But can I get the link perhaps?

The other change isn't a lyric change, just a character change -- since Jimmy Early isn't in the scene (for obvious reasons), his lyrics/lines were given to Deena, which work perfectly and gives Deena more to sing in the scene:
"...she had nothing to do with the change, it was you!" -- that whole section.

"All you can do is rant and rave,
You think a star's a king,
Well, WAKE UP BABY, A STAR IS A SLAAAAAAAAVE!"
