Comment: That's Beyonce?...Too skinny child!

Name: bigchassie
Comment: that's alright, Jennifer represent the big guls! and she looks real good! i can't wait for this movie to come out. but..."it's not finished yet??" what does that mean? not finished with the editing or something? i thought they were finished with actual shooting. it supposed to be comming out this christmas. that will be a great treat for this season.

Name: Snicker
Comment: --->TJthemilitant i agree with you, beyonce is too skinny on that picture....i thought she looked fine before and i don't believe she did that on her own because i know how hollywood can be about making somebody boney as ever.....but i hope beyonce doesn't fall under that kind of pressure because she looked great before not saying she looks bad now though.

Name: DCGG
Comment: I agree Beyonce looks a hot azz mess - she is wayyyy too skinny...and I don't give a damn what they say this movie will never compare to the original Dreamgirls - none of them can hold a note to Jennifer Holiday!!

Name: Angel
Comment: If she's suppose to be portraying a character based on Diana Ross, she's not too skinny because Lord knows that Diana was a dayum extra small toothpick back in the day (and still today).

Name: TJthemilitant
Comment: Then they should have picked skinny azz Michelle to play the role....Beyonce said it was her idea to shed the pounds...they didn't force her..She looks anorexic in every photo I've seen her in since..Eat child!

Name: AquaBoogie
Comment: Much love to my fellow South Sider Jennifer Hudson! I saw the previews on the news this morning...it looks like a winner, FO SHO

Name: TMan
Comment: A 20 minute preview of a blockbuster musical star studded movie that is due to hit screens 7 months from now in December. Is the movie totally finished already? It's amazing the pace with which they finish these movies these days. How many months did they work on it? Seems like we just heard the news they were doing it not so long ago.

Name: Snicker
Comment: --->TJthemilitant you're right they should have picked somebody else for the role because beyonce is naturally curvy and i don't think her body is made to be super skinny.....she looks good without being all anorexic looking.

Name: Gurlfrand
Comment: I think Be looks great that thin. She really does look like her lil sis, Solange, in that photo, cause Solange is skinny. I wish them all great success with this film, and hope that it is a great success here in the states when it premiers in December.

Name: thechocolate10
Comment: i think B looks great. She is gonna be even a bigger star when this hits

Name: Priceless
Comment: I'm looking forward to this movie but Jamie ain't winning no Oscar for this .... pankie would never do that

Name: Priceless
Comment: Bouncy may look thinner in that pic but she never looks skinny to me ... she has curves even when she is thin

Name: Priceless
Comment: RETRACTION! I just took another look at that pic and Bouncy look like a bobble head ... gain them pounds back as soon as all filming is complete ... Kelly was probably more of a natural skinny look for this role ... Michelle just looks like a witch cuz she too skinny

Name: MOTHERSHIP
Comment: DCGG, on the real. Jennifer took that mutha and blew the bytch out!!!!

Name: ImJustAsking
Comment: Why was Dreamgirls screened at Cannes? I thought the point of those festivals was to see original non-big budget features?

Name: ImJustAsking
Comment: Priceless< you just made me think of something. I actually think that Kelly would have fit that role very well, and I enjoyed her acting on Girlfriends and back when she was on the Hughleys. Beyonce's acting is subpar to me. I hope the standing ovation for this movie was for whatever scene they saw instead of people just applauding b/c of the ensemble cast. And how many times is Beyonce goin to say this is the first role where I really act...she said the same thing about Fighting temptations and pink panther. No matter how small or one dimensional a part is, for someone to say they didnt 'act' in it just shows that they aren't an actor. That irked me.

Name: NJBLKGUY
Comment: I wonder if Beyonce was shown in the footage that resulted in the standing ovation? If so, then her acting has truly come a long way.

Name: Angel
Comment: ImjustAsking - Girl, they showed The DaVinci Code at Cannes and that movie cost $125M to make, so that theory is way wrong. LOL

Name: Angel
Comment: Now why would they choose Michelle or Kelly for the part over Beyonce? It ain't about acting skills or who better fits the body size. Beyonce has more star power which equates to more pull in the money department. I'm sure they would have preferred Beyonce to starve herself down to the right size than take either one of those 2 Beyonce wannabes.

Name: ImJustAsking
Comment: angel< LOL Clearly. Maybe I'm thinking of the Sundance festival or something. I heard DaVinci Code got bad reviews, I should go read some.

Name: ImJustAsking
Comment: Angel< Speaking of the starving issue, I'm not understanding why Beyonce says she went against the director's orders. If he said, eat for continuity (which makes sense) then why would she chose to lose weight on her own? Either she has more influence than he does or they encouraged her to lose weight, either way somethin ain't right about that. I'm mad she compared Dreamgirls to Castaway LOL

Name: ladybyrd
Comment: I think Beyonce looks beautiful. I can't wait to see the movie.

Name: OSUN
Comment: I like Beyounce and she looks nice, but I think she was beautiful they way she was before. She will probably put some weight back on b/c this is not natural for her. She is built like her mama except her mom appears to have breasts. She will not be able to sustain that diet regimen she was on. Popeyes will start caller her name.

Name: MER82
Comment: I just can't see getting excited about this movie....good luck to them though, I hope it does well.

Name: lovinlife
Comment: That pic almost looks like it was photoshopped. She looks better in the pic with all the other cast members. Her arms look like she's been using some weights. Curves and Hollywood don't go together, unfortunately.

Name: Angel
Comment: ImJustAsking - I'm with you. I guess Beyonce missed the part in Castaway where he was stranded on a deserted island.....hence, the need to look hungry. LOL I have no idea why Beyonce decided she needed to be a size 2 to play that part. I guess if her acting sucks she can hype up her size transformation. LOL

Name: TMan
Comment: I hope she isn't following Nicole Richie and Paris and them's diet.

Name: Priceless
Comment: Imjustasking, the DeVince Code was screened there too ... I thought any movie could be screened at CF

Name: Snicker
Comment: -->MER82, i'm with you i just don't get all that thrilled about this movie...maybe once i see the previews and if somebody i trust sees it first and says it's good i'll go see it.

Name: soulmusic101
Comment: Take as long as you want, this flick will be worth the wait. I have seen some of the previews. The film will get at least 2 (minor or major) Oscar Award's. Like a Poster said Diana Ross was skinny so it makes sense for B to follow suit. This will be the highest grossing all African-American film of all-time. This will also be Eddie Murphy's best role in decade's.

Name: OSUN
Comment: Soulmusic101, where have you been. I thought maybe you had joined a sleeper cell. ( just a jokey joke)

Name: sultry
Comment: First of all let me say that Beyonce is my girl and I think that she is a beautiful young lady wwho is triple talented . But I must say that I think that she is telling a fib about not being forced to loose weight by the directors. I think that she wasforced to do so but she is still beautiful now ans well as before she sheded the 20 lbs. Trust me she will put it back on because she is naturally a big bonded girl and she is not skinny like her sister.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: As someone who's seen Beyonce on four different occassions, 2 of which were pretty much w/in a 1ft range, she's NEVER been a "thick" girl. Michelle IS waif thin, Kelly is thin..and then there was Beyonce. Angel you're right, considering that Diana was rail thin back in the day, she'll be fine. Actually B is still bigger than what Diana was. Of all the pics EUR could've chosen from her time in Cannes..they chose that one. Not like I'm a fan, have the site saved in my fav's or nothing like that, but if you wanna c the actual photos plus some.. go to ..www.beyonceworld.net.As for Jennifer Hudson, that's right J, keep telling urself that. I'll catch ur "what's wrong w/my size" self a couple of years from now and see do u look any different and if your career has prospered.

Name: soulmusic101
Comment: OSUN, so you got jokes for a brotha, that was a good one. Getting ready to move from N. Cali to the Northwest (gonna miss the flavor), I will peep my head in from time to time, to holla at peep's like you and Mothership. Had to put Chimpy Bush AKA 2006 Hitler on the back burner. It is good to see America wake up but this Country is still too passive when it comes to the NeoCon's. (climbing down from my soapbox.)

Name: OSUN
Comment: Musb why does it bother you when there are women out there who are fine with their plus size. It appears you have a slight obsession with that. Why do you care that she and others like Tocarra don't feel like they need to lose weight.

Name: ImJustAsking
Comment: Musb< First of all, I don't want a grown man to go to beyonceworld.net. And I swear, sometimes when you talk about Beyonce is sounds like you want to BE her and not BE WITH her. MER82 and Snicker, this movie doesn't thrill me either b/c I don't like to see things when I already know how they will end. However, I will probably still go see it b/c by December I will be starved for some blacks onscreen and at least the music will be good. I just hope that Jamie Foxx and Eddie Murphy don't overact like they tend to do sometimes.

Name: Gurlfrand
Comment: >musbdherbs - Diana Ross once said in one of her books that the reason she was so skinny back in the Supremes day was that she was always under so much pressure that she sometimes just didn't eat - she said she realized that she had what we now know as "anorexia."

Name: Priceless
Comment: I could be 1 inch away from Bouncy and see that she is thick ... heyell she even coined the term "bootylicious" to describe herself, WTF?! ... IJA you might be on to something

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: OSUN, you cant possibly take my post as reflection of a problem I have w/women who are fine w/their sizes? This is not the local office..it's hollywood and like it or not..they pretty dictate how large a woman can be. In fact, it's been discussed on this board too many times to name. I have no idea who Tocarra is but depending on her size/industry, she will only make it so far. That's a reality that doesn't seem to be changing. Imjust..we usually don't direct comments to each other but since u need some attention, I'll oblige. I'm sorry please post the appropriate sites that a grown man should be visiting. In fact, nevermind, I'll call my girl and ask her so she can say, "did one of those dumb women on eur say that to you?" BTW, don't you have a car, home, college education or a career to talk about today. *good e'ning*

Name: OSUN
Comment: Mus I could certainly be wrong. You don't watch ANTM??!!! She was the pretty plus size model that has been one of the most visible models since the show if not the most visible despite her plus size.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: OSUN..if she is doing well then that's a good thing for her and a rare one at that. I've only watched maybe three episodes of ANTM. IT was when Eve was on there. I actually don't watch much reality tv...Extreme Home, College Hill, and most recently Countdown to Lockdown is it for me. Other than that, nothing else captures my interest. Survivor, flavalove, BBB, etc...just not my thing.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: uh-oh..I did watch the complete season the Apprentice when Kwame and Omarosa were on there...whatever season that was, I haven't watched it since.

Name: Snicker
Comment: --->musbdherbs if you saw antm when eva was on there then you should know who tocarra is because she was on there the same time eva was.

Name: Angel
Comment: OSUN - I thought Eva was the most visual of the ANTM alum. The only place I saw much of Toccara since the show was as......a plus size model and ......that Celebrity fitness challenge show. Hmmm, for someone so comfortable with their weight, why the need to be on a weight loss show? Musb is right. Unfortunately, Hollywood only leaves a few spots for anyone over a size 2 and typically those spots are left for folks that are loud and obnoxious that tend to play the "funny fat best friend". It's sad but true. I hope Jennifer makes it being the size she is, but the reality of Hollywood will probably either force her to lose weight, leave or hang around and fight for the few "funny fat best friend" roles that are turned down by the better known actresses. If she waits around long enough, then she may get cast as the "Big Black Mother Figure"....oh wait, Tyler Perry and Martin Lawrence have cornered the mkt there. LOL

Name: Angel
Comment: Musb - Toccarra was the one that Miss Jane said "had 2 big puppies hiding in her bikini top". Girlfriend's boobs are huge and in that swimsuit it was like POW in yo face. LOL

Name: OSUN
Comment: Angel why does anyone go on Celebrity Fit Club. The operative word is celebrity. I am sure some want to lose some weight, the rest is exposure. Most of all the contestants that have been on the show lost weight but they gained it back ie Kim Coles Ralphy May.

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: Snick...the only person I remember from that period was Eva...I think i prob watched the last 3 episodes. MAybe I don't watch enough TV cuz I googled her and still don't recognize her. Angel..I think everbody "get's it" it's just an unfortunate reality to "get" But oh well

Name: Angel
Comment: OSUN - There are plenty of reality shows to choose from. The fact that she says she is comfortable with her weight, but then goes on a show to lose weight seems like a huge contradiction.

Name: Snicker
Comment: --->musbdherbs ok if you only saw the last 3 episodes then tocarra had already gotten voted off so you didn't see her then.

Name: yunvme
Comment: she's too thick, no.... she's too thin. This girl will never be able to satisfy some of you. The girl lost 20 pounds, big deal. It was for a movie.

Name: Beezyuu
Comment: Beyonce is in a business where 20 pounds can be lost in a week, and this was no Tom Hank's diet either. I think she get's pressure like all the rest of the actresses in hollywood. This girl is going to play the hell out of Dreamgirls and just might be nominated for an oscar.

Name: essie
Comment: i love beyonce but honestly the girl can't act her way out of a hefty bag. anyone who needs to constantly keep proving and saing how good they are at something are phony to me. her acting talent remains to be seen. i'm sure she'll do well, but i know a lot of more deserving and more talented ACTRESSES who could've done that role a lot more justice. whatever side she is, whatever. i'll just be glad when someone new comes along for everyone to talk about.
