A Knowles Update: Beyonce & Solange Cancel Hurricane Benefit+Beyonce Set To Star In Remake Of A Star Is Born?

Word has it Beyonce is still on the trek for an Oscar. She's supposedly been tapped by film producer Jon Peters to star in an upcoming remake of A Star Is Born. The movie was originally done back in the 30's, then a musical remake was done in the 50's. And another version done in the 70's. The premise: Norman Maine, a movie star whose career is on the wane, meets showgirl Esther Blodgett when he drunkenly stumbles into her act one night. A friendship develops, then blossoms into romance before tensions increase as Esther's career takes off while Norman's continues to plummet. We can all take a pretty good guess on which character she'll be playing... Beyonce skips benefit concert and will star in A Star Is Born In other news, yesterday, Beyonce and Solange Knowles were set to perform for the first time ever together on the stage of their Hurricane Ike Benefit Concert in Houston. But at the last minute, the whole event was canceled by the Knowles clan-- citing "irresolvable scheduling conflicts": "Beyonce and Solange regret the cancellation of their Houston-area holiday concert and urge their fans to support the efforts of The Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund and the Survivor Foundation." I can only imagine what could have happened to make the always image conscious sisters cancel something so important quite last minute. Hopefully it wasn't because Mama Tina's bedazzler gun got held up in customs or anything. Time will tell...

Best believe Beyonce name got people in their seat. People can hate her all they want. However, because she is playing these roles in these movies some of us (young blacks) get to learn a little more about our history. NOt saying its solely because of her but its a positive spin on most negative opinion.

Okay ... so how to you cancel

Okay ... so how to you cancel a charity event? I am at a lost for words. Charity means from the kindness of your heart not how much you can pocket. I expected this from Papa Knowles though!

I really don't get all this

I really don't get all this madness when it comes to Beyonce,she is a human being like all of us on here.But lets be honest she is just full of it,I know people have goals in all but now she wants an oscar & she can't act.I belive someone said this before maybe take more acting classes & Just wait till the right movie comes along 7 stay a way from these singing roles.Beyonce is a young lady she has lots more time to perfect her crafts i just don't understand whats all the rush. P.S The STANS on here are really crazy for beyonce,(SAD)

[quote comment="331524"]Any type of donation that this chick does or any celeb does it probably just for a tax right off. Hello, she is making so much money that she needs to lower that income level. Please this girl lies all of the time, and it is so unnecessary. Anyway, the point is that whether or not she is really philanthropic is neither here nor there because I cannot believe anything she says because her personality is as fake as her hair. I do, however, give her props for fooling most of the world into thinking that she is the best artist, or that she is an icon. I cannot even listen to her first album. Yet I can pop in any Brandy any time. Even Brandy's album when she was 14. There are quality artists that make you love music and then there is Beyonce who makes you a sucker for marketing schemes.[/quote] I agree, I understand that entertainers have to market themselves, but damn, Beyonce's so damn extra for no reason. I thought Solange was bad...attention-seeking people are so draining! Beyonce's too overrated and overexposed.

*thumbs down* to Bey allllllllll around what happened to cancel the show maybe the money wasn't right. Or nobody wanted to pay to go see an hour show and maybe nobody wanted to see Solange either it is a recession for goodness sake. Please Bey stop with the movies that have the same theme to them. I have't seen caddy Records yet I will go on Sat. A Star Is Born she needs to let it go.........

I hope this story is

I hope this story is incorrect about her taking the role because if she does then she will show me that infact she doesn't have any acting talent. Majority of her roles have her having a playing a singer. How much of a stretch is that. So she plays a singer in almost ever role. I mean the Fighting Temptations, Carmen:A hip Opera(she sings in that one), Dream Girls, and Cadillac records. Where is her acting range. Yes she had a comedic role in Gold Member and she did ok and she had a fairly plain role in The Pink Panther but that movie sucked. Is that all she ever going to play is singers?
