And now this...
Usher gets involved with Dreamgirl?
Usher has confirmed he's negotiating to co-star with Beyonce and Jamie Foxx in a big budget movie version of the musical 'Dreamgirls'.
Word is, Oscar-winner Jamie will play the role of Curtis Taylor Jr. - a Svengali-like manager who leads female singing group the Dreamettes to stardom.
Curtis Taylor is based on Motown guru Berry Gordy.
Eddie Murphy is being courted to play James 'Thunder' Early, who's character is one part James Brown and one part Marvin Gaye.
Usher will play choreographer C.C. White - if he decides to sign up for the role:
"There's been nothing solid, although you've probably heard a release in the press that's attached me to a movie with Dreamworks."
"It is not 100% confirmed yet, but it is something that I am entertaining."
"'Dreamgirls' is the name of it and it did actually touch Broadway."

Well is Beyonce playing the Effie role, which is patterned after Flo or is she playing the Diane role Either way I still say we keep casting; for both roles and for the role of the choreographer; why not Marques Houston- at least he has acted consistently and can dance

I think she might as well be ross, simply because she already has that part nailed in real life

They've started working on this one already, and it's supposed to be in cinemas for December. Have you guys seen the promo picture?? Beyonce Knowles looks extremely pale
