Tom Cruise Might Be in 'A Star Is Born' Remake

Beyoncé's scion expelled and already prepared to challenge Willow Smith for nepotistic radio dominance, Beyoncé herself can get back to the business of being an actress now--which is good news for Clint Eastwood, who has been wanting to direct her in a remake of A Star Is Born but did not want that remake to be a pregnancy fetish film. Now Eastwood just needs someone to play an elder singer/songwriter to mentor Beyoncé character's rising star, and having given the last Mission: Impossible the stern grimace that indicates his approval, Eastwood is reportedly considering Tom Cruise for the part.

Beyoncé Contains Too Much Baby To Do 'A Star is Born' Just Now, and DiCaprio Won't Do It at All

With Beyoncé's VMA pregnancy announcement came the promise of a new Destiny Child that could one day be forcefully shoved into the spotlight, where the young autocelebrity could thrive and hopefully eventually create a super-spawn with a Smith kid. But it wasn't all good news if you're Clint Eastwood. Unfortunately for him, the pregnancy likely means a delay for his plans to do another remake of A Star Is Born, as his updated script for the musical romance will not allow for Beyoncé to always be carrying around a laundry basket.

As it turns out, though, Eastwood may have needed the extra time anyway. According to Deadline, the director's plan to woo his J. Edgar star Leonardo DiCaprio into the male lead didn't take, and an apologetic DiCaprio has run back into the waiting arms of Martin Scorsese, and the reunited couple can't wait to do a remake of The Gambler together. Don't be mad now that you see that Scorsese want it, Clint. Beyoncé told you what you needed to do.

Clint Eastwood Directing Beyoncé Musical Remake

Well, there's this now: Clint Eastwood is going to direct Beyoncé in another musical remake of A Star is Born, which seems like an odd match until you've seen Eastwood belt out a tune. The film--which has already been made three times, last in 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson--tells of a rising star (to be played by already-established star Beyoncé) and her relationship with a self-destructive falling singer/songwriter. That role has yet to be cast, but Deadline mentions Will Smith, Jon Hamm, and Robert Downey Jr. as possibilities, because when isn't Robert Downey Jr. an option? As for why Justin Bieber and Usher aren't even being considered for the parts, I have no clue.

'Obsessed' Poster Lost Some of String's Head

Cinematical has debuted the poster for the Fatal Attraction/The Temp/Probably Several TV Movies knock-off, Obsessed. If I were this translucent, near-shadowless, obsessed temp worker, I'd be fearing the wrath of Beyoncé. You can tell when Beyoncé is about to attack when she has her assistants carefully rotate the head on her mannequin body so that it's looking slightly more towards you.

'Obsessed' Trailer: The Movie YouTube Commenters "Can't Wait" For

Stringer Bell thought he had it all: the perfect Beyonce wife; the perfect job with Jerry O'Connell; the perfect hot temporary office worker. But no! At least not the last point. It turns out his temp is OBSESSED. She infects his computer with the TEMPGIRL virus, keeps seducing him, and has catfights with his wife:

Sony has released the trailer to Cadillac Records, the story of Muddy Waters (Jeffrey Wright), Chuck Berry (Mos Def), Etta James (Beyoncé), Big Willie Dixon (Cedric t. Entertainer), and Chess Records owner Leonard Chess (Adrien Brody). If most single-musician biopics have a decent chance at a big award, imagine what this chewed up wad of them will do when it gets spat into theaters. Time for Beyoncé to win those trophies she missed with Dreamgirls and Austin Powers in Goldmember!

Beyonce as Etta James in 'Cadillac Records'

I had my doubts that Beyonce would be able to pull off the role of such a legend, but she really does look the part of Black Harpo Marx. Is there nothing Beyonce and a wig can't do?
