From this week's AOL BV Buzz column:

...Expunge Usher's name from the list of talent attached to the upcoming 'Dreamgirls' movie project. Sources close to the production say negotiations between the chart-topping entertainer's camp and the film's producers went array, and they've opted to go with another one name singer, Omarion. Beyonce Knowles, Jamie Foxx and Eddie Murphy -- his wife Nicole filed for divorce last week -- are already attached to the project. Names such as Fantasia, Kelly Price and Jennifer Hudson ('American Idol') are still being tossed around to play the role of the Jennifer Holliday character Effie White.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Please tell me not Omarion from B2K.

That boy can't sing to save his life.

That's just wrong. I'd rather have his "brother" Marquise Houston play that role. What they really need to do is get a young broadway/unknown actor. I think the movie has reached it's popstar quota.

I don't have ANY idea how that boy ever got a recording contract in the first place. My cat sings better. Omarian can't touch a pitch with a 50-foot pole. This is ridiculous.

Omarion without dance moves... a backing track...abs. He would never survive in this movie.
