After Sony Pictures faced the leaking of a number of internal emails last year this year has seen the music arm of the company’s body deal with the same drama after emails sent about a number of its acts by the label’s bosses were published online.
Now, as the debate surrounding the rights and wrongs and pros and cons of sharing said emails online heats up, the entertainer Beyonce has seen her name throw into the mix…again.
Full story below…
After private emails sent by Sony execs praised the singer’s unwavering position at the top, the singer’s name appears in a new email exchange between former Sony Pictures boss Amy Pascal and her then colleague Elizabeth Cantillon.
What they were discussing? A movie starring the ‘Halo’ singer and her friend Gwyneth Paltrow, who is (or was) to serve as its producer.
It’d be wrong of us to spill the beans on the project’s title or plot, but can be sure the singer’s fans will be interested to learn of the role she had been linked to.
In the pitch the star had been tied to the portrayal of a character named Jezebel who works at Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles.
If the star agrees to star in the movie she’ll find a collaborator in Dr. Luke, the chart-topping producer reportedly enlisted create original music for the release.
Beyonce has generated $994. 3 million since she first stepped onto the big screen in ‘Austin Powers in Goldmember’ back in 2002.
It’s important to note that the star has not been hitched to this project or the role she’s alleged to have been offered officially.

Queen.
That s*** is insulting as hell. Do you people not know about the classic media tropes of black people in film? The tragic mullato, the jezebel, the dandy, the c***, etc etc… let’s hope Gwyneth was not going to present that mess to her. You could hardly call her a friend if so. Freaking “Roscoe’s chicken and waffles”… are you serious? Gtfoh!
I just love this Woman
I just love this Woman ..
I think she’s trying to put less of herself out there, we even saw what she did with the rest of the singles from BEYONCE, after the release of DIL and Xo I could say she barely released the others
Bey I love you boo. You’ve snatched every wig I’ve had in my life but girl let’s be real YOU CANNOT ACT leave it to the professionals just like they leave the stage for you boo.
Hollywood is full of singers AND who don’t have the best acting chops (I won’t name names), yet they constantly and consistently get role after role. If Bey loves the art and loves to act, whether good or bad, then I’m all for it!
The only person I can think of you are talking about is j hud she does have the skill jlo as well but Bey for some odd reason can’t pull it off like them. For the most part all these big roles are going to REAL actresses not singers/actress
J.Lo’s skill is very debatable. Don’t get me wrong I love some of her movies, but It’s mainly her charismatic girl-next-door persona that attracts a crowd (and to be to be quiet honest she’s mainly just playing variations of herself). I can’t picture J.Lo in a truly heartbreaking scene that steals the show. Beyonce always picks musical movies to act in (with the exception of Obsessed & Epic) specifically because she’s not trying to become the next big actress, she just enjoys performing on screen and likes having her music branch out through films (which is why she usually coincides it with an album release of soundtrack drop).
Well jlo did kill the movie Enough and selena so she does get her Brownie points she doesn’t pull the typical like gabrielle union she’s always played a b**** or some sort of mean girl in everything so to see her in her current show and she nailed it was dope. Only a handful of artist have crossed over to acting and are killing it. However Bey, Nick an rih are a few that should just be on the soundtrack or slay my life on stage
Jenny did slay in Selena>
Girl Beyoncè is not that bad as an actress. J.Lo is alright, she just get the roles that are more like her personality. J.Hud is not that good of an actress either. Acting May not be Beyoncè’s first love but you can tell she loves it and dedicates her time to her work. I never understand why people say “Beyoncè only does musical movies).so what. She’s not singing the script. She still has to act. I just think it’s a bonus for her to tie music video into the film’s. She will improve with time and studying.
Annalise well said thanks
Hun Queen Bey did great in Dream Girls and Cadillac Records. She’s growing into a better actress. I keep seeing her playing a crazy chick in a drama/thriller and recieving high praise!
Receiving
I’ve been itching to see her in more movies. She used to star in them periodically. It’s been 6 years since her last. I NEED to see her on the big screen soon!
Mathew used to have her simultaneously release a movie whenever she did a new album. Beyonce is now working with Bradley Cooper and Clint Eastwood on ‘A Star Is Born’ which is coming real soon.
Good I can wait to see her in it
This is offensive. A black Jezebel who serves chicken? Bey is better than this .
Don’t forget about the waffles. This would not be a good look. No singing or acting about chicken please.
Mary J. learned that the hard way..
LMAOOOOO! Please don’t do Mary like that. She said it was supposed to be a chicken salad commercial and they changed it last minute.
Lol ok. With all do respect to Mary, she is grown enough to know to run when you are black and people want to film you with chicken, watermelon etc.
Please. I’m glad it was a good payday for her but I will never forget her on top of that booth singing..
Gurl you got me out here in tears!!!!! LOL!!!
@Annalise
Girl you know the truth! Lol!
I hope she takes acting classes before she agrees to join anyone’s movie her acting is a joke
but what movies have keri been in? how many stadiums/arenas has she sold out? how many platinum/multi-platinum albums do she have? how many music list has she been on? does keri even have a soul train award?
but what movies have keri been in?

DeadT Oh My LOL! and you know I always thought everyone was clowning when they said Keri performs for crowds in Walmart Parking lots, but its actually legit! An absolute shame!
https://youtu.be/6iAVjHDGjQc?t=2m55s
LOL Yes David, keep the sony email posts coming *watches the entire pot of tea get spilledt*. But you know the biggest one yet is the email about Iggy’s blue movie, where’s the post about it?
Anyways I know inside info about the casting process of movies. This is just a bogus pitch and amateur filmmakers constantly come up with script ideas written with particular celebrities in mind. Beyonce is repped by one the top 3 talent agencies in America, and she (like most A-Listers) wouldn’t look twice at a script unless it has the right budget, writing, cast and it’s suits her schedule.
No sis. This is a serious pitch. I just read the email on wiki leaks
Lol, the diss/shade/insult. Aunt BeyMama, lol.
You know I do see this as shade. Her good friend Gwen is a producer on this film, and had the audacity to offer
this to Beyonce her ‘good friend’.
Then again Gwen thinks because she is friends with the Carter’s it’s appropriate to write ‘N*****’ on the internet.
I get she was just quoting a song title, but it was still less than smart, as a white lady to do that.
“Jezebel who works at Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles.” lmaooo what type of movie is this? beys name/brand should never be linked to shiitt like this
her acting is horrible. They can keep it, or hire someone else like Rihanna or Ciara
but s***-neys movie crossroads was a total flop 🙂 and she the critics trashed /dragged her through the gutter (where she belongs) when that movie came out
Oh wow, I need me some more Bey on the big screen, I LOVED her in Obsessed, that cat fight at the end had me running around the room! She looks good doing ANYTHING!
I’d this role was given to Rita Ora or someone in that category, I would congratulate and keep it moving, but this YOUR GIRL B, CHANGED THE WORLD WITH THAT DIGITAL DROP, 100 MILLION SOLD BEYONCÉ! This is WAYYYYYYYY beneath her, but then again, she is a humanitarian so…
If this***
I really hope she considers taking more roles. It’s been six years. People complain about her acting but she’s not that bad. When you look at her serious roles in Cadillac Records and Dreamgirls, she is way above decent. Decent enough to be recognized by the Golden Globes twice and decent enough to gross nearly 1 billion in box office hits. A true triple threat. No weapons formed against her will prosper. Slay Queen:D 😀
she definitely came along way from playing Carmen brown both dreamgirls and Cadillac records proved that she can act her ass off
I agree with y’all she has improved. She still has work to do, but she’s not awful.
People be od’ing on that she is terrible stuff.
#BeyFair
I agree with you guys 100%! People put such high demands on Bey. She damn near have to be a better actress than Meryl Streep to get any credit. I think Bey’s constant work at acting continues to pay off (she’s improving) and her movies are usually very enjoyable to watch.
I’m surprised they didn’t post about Twitter going off on Iggy for ruining furious 7 with a 6 second cameo
my queen came a long way from this lol I still this movie though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSXl9nz4dwY
I remember when this movie came out on MTV. I recorded it on my vcr lmaooo This was doing the survivor era. Been stanning since I was eight. Her acting wasn’t too bad on Carmen, even though she was an amateur. *plays Cards Never Lie*
*during
lmaoo right both mtv and bet air’d this back then
Lol yup. I cried when she died lmaoooo
Oh LordT! Why did he have to shoot her in the booty LOL!
Lol! Not in the booty!! 🙂
Watch it Sam! You wouldn’t want to p*** off your alleged queen bee with these alleged Sony rumors…lol!
Whatever happened to the alleged Will Smith Movie where she’s supposed to be a super hero?
Fvck that where’s the joint album ? 🙁 . The behydration is real rn.
Where’s the feelin myself video? What is this :/
Wait a minute, I need this to sink in,
‘
In the pitch the star had been tied to the portrayal of a character named Jezebel who works at Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles.
‘
Wait, what fuckery is this? And Gweneth, who is allegedly the producer is supposed to be her friend?
‘
If Beyonce was to say yes to this, well…take it away Mary

I’m not really a Beyoncé fan like that, but she deserves better than a weak Jezebel role. FOH offering black women roles like this when Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, Being Mary Jane, Empire, and more are the highest rated shows on right now.
I can’t wait to see her in a movie we her fans have brine waiting for long time she is good actor
Beyonce really isnt a bad actress she just needs a POWER ROLE and im tellin you she needs to play a s*** catwomanesque villain in a movie a real witch with a capital B

slay Queen….
Not here for Bey doing this role! Gwen can keep this shYt!
Hell no! I hope this aint true shes above this kinda role.
I think she should do it, its a break from the “musical only” roles folks says she partakes in. This role may show off her range of acting skills.
I’m sorry but wtf. How do we know this isn’t all bs?? where’s the emails? Where’s the details?? Oh wait there aren’t any…
Performance wise Bey can slaughter anyone but acting is not a skill for her let’s call a spade a spade. If Bey was anyone else the truth will be told.
Who is this white girl?
Bring it on Bey, i’m here for it.
Stick To Singing Bey. Please!!!
Singing is best for Beyoncé knowle Carter better then her acting out in movies
