Beyonce Pulls Out Of A Star Is Born

This would have been the perfect role for Beyonce, but she has told producers she is pulling out of Clint Eastwood's Star Is Born. The remake has been stalled and this might push it into extinction. I also think she did not want to have any part of doing anything with Bradley Cooper who is being talked about as the male lead. She has heard some things about him and when you are Beyonce, it is not like you need the movie to make your life complete. I have heard that Lea Michele is the top choice to replace Beyonce. Well, I predict if she does get the role and Bradley Cooper does too, that Bradley will be hitting on lea everyday, regardless of whether she is still dating Corey Monteith.

I think Bradley Cooper would make a great James Mason/Kris Kristofferson hybrid.

And Lea will totally lose her shit to play a role once played by Judy and Barbra.

MadLyb said...

I get the major greasy/douche vibe from Bradley Cooper.

Wasn't going to watch it anyway. I only liked the James Mason/Judy Garland version.

Thank God!!! We don't need another Star is Born. We've had 3 remakes already. They need to let this movie go and come up with more creative movie ideas.

I might be in the minority here but I liked the guy before everything started coming out about him here.

I find him attractive. I've seen him a few interviews and thought he was engaging, interesting articulate, etc.

I suppose it goes to show that you never know what lies beneath the surface...

Barton Fink said...

What foolish remake twist are they going to throw into the story to make it "contemporary"?

skimpymist said...

Movie sounds lame and I don't even know what its about. Hope lea gets the part so that she can see what happens when she's not the one running the show. Bradleys going to make her squirm.

Calla said...

While this movie is totally uncreative and unnecessary, I might have gone to see it with Beyonce; with Lea Michele, no way. Let it die.

MISCH said...

Maybe it's time for both the movie and Clint to retire.....

lostathome said...

It said something about Esperanza Spalding being looked at too. I hope this doesn't come off as racist, bc I don't mean for it to be, but why does he want to use a black actress for a "remake", if the other two actresses in the previous ones were white? Or is a "re-imagined" version?

Just asking.

Unknown said...

Hey, I still like Bradley.
He's from where I live and I've seen him a few times, always nice and never rude like other celebs I have seen around. I really don't believe any of the nasty things people say about him, at all.

nova said...

Maybe they were being considered for reasons other thank their blackness?

califblondy said...

I loved the Streisand version. Beyonce would have been a good choice, just not sure about Bradley. I like musicals, so I'll probably watch no matter who stars.

Clint is good at musicals...who remembers Paint Your Wagon? Haha

Cuckoo Armadillo said...

NOOOOOOOO leave Esperanza out of all this mess! Good for Beyonce for leaving, too.

cheesegrater15 said...

Should star Blohan and Charlie Sheen.

Glitter said...

Love Clint, but this sounds shiteous.

lostathome said...

Or is it supposed to be like the bodyguard as well? Because that was interracial. I just Wonder what his plans are. I think Spalding is a more appropriate pick than beyonce, and she's younger, so the premise would be more believable..

lostathome said...

I like her better than B, but she isn't an actress. Why can't people just let the singers stick to that genre? She's good at it.

Kloie said...

Why could I see Lea dumping Cory for Bradley? He is a "bigger star."

lazyday603 said...

Clint Eastwood will die having directed more films after the age of 80 than Terrence Malick will have completed in a lifetime. Eastwood is the hardest working geezer on earth.

Turkish Taffy said...

I can't for the life of me imagine B. Cooper hitting on Lea Michele "everyday". In her dreams, maybe...

Beta said...

there was a very controversial post of bradley cooper or zoe saldana were Himmmmm wrote something about the guy or their relationship... it blew up because there were lots of comments with genre violence issues. I was late to the party (himmm had already deleted the post), somebody could fill us in pliz? :)

eris hilton said...

serious question: does Lea Michelle have ANY appeal to anyone, whatsoever? I assumed she was on Glee so you could love to hate how annoying she was.

FrenchGirl said...

Enty ,stop coke! what you say is untrue

Eastwood wants to replace Beyonce for Esperanza Spaulding and Cooper only met Eastwood and said he was interested by working with Eastwood and now the studio eyes Johnny Depp
the trouble is not Cooper or Beyonce,the problem is the AWFUL script
totally OT:Cooper did 2 movies with Jennifer Lawrence this year

old ;ady said...

Only in Beyonce world can she act. It is painfull for me to even watch her on screen. She is no way an actress. Just because you can sing doesn't mean you can act. Get over yourself. I also think that this movie has been done to death. Are there NO orginal ideas in Hollyweird any more. Can't spell today.

Kelly said...

Lea actually did a fantastic acting job on last weeks Glee. It's the first time I've really seen her chops. She had me in tears at the end.

discoflux said...

@califblondy - Paint Your Wagon is one of my favorite movies!! Lee Marvin is brilliant!

Unknown said...

i head esparanza spalding is the top choice to replace beyonce not lea michele

Onyx Loathes Hydrangeas said...

OT but I loved the snl forgotten bond girls sketch. They nailed Lea Michele. And a bunch of others lol. But that sketch will now come to mind whenever her name is mentioned lol.

Mango said...

@ old ;ady - She's certainly no Meryl Streep but she was okay in Obsessed and that Austin Powers movie.

OT: Hi Vicki!

Worstcompanytoworkfor said...

Wonder if she didn't want to work with Clint because of his problems with Obama.

g.strathmore said...

Esperanza Spalding is an amazing musician but has she ever acted?

FrenchGirl said...

@ Worstcompanytoworkfor: Eastwood is republican since always and he worked with many liberal guys (Damon,Dicaprio,Robbins,Freeman,Penn...)
the problem is the script (too many A list actors aren't interested by acting in this movie :it's too weird)

figgy said...

Maybe Clint can cast an empty chair for that role?

Jason Blue Eyes said...

@Lazy - I think Woody Allen makes more movies than Clint - but he's not 80 yet.

auntliddy said...

Iam still laughing at the streisand/kristofferson version! Fav line-"you're scaring me, john norman" the orginal stands alone, no update needed.

Sherry said...

@Barton: The contemporary version will have the lead become a crack head instead of an alcoholic. Or meth.

Cuckoo Armadillo said...

@figgy is a genius and should be in charge of casting everything forever

feraltart said...

I think Jennifer Hudson should be cast. Loved her in Dreamgirls and having seen the trailer for Winnie -wow!

ms_goddess said...

A remake of a remake of a remake - oh joy!!!! Aren't 3 versions of this movie enough!!! Let it go already!!!

/rant

nevermindthat said...

I think she pulled out because Eastwood supported Mitt. Hey; I'm just saying.

Henriette said...

This movie has been remade enough!

All about Eve said...

Vicki! Good choices!

All about Eve said...

Stop destroying good movies with remakes with mediocre actors!! I have yet to see Bradley Cooper do a good drama, he just doesn't have what it takes! And Beyonce! Please!!! She disappeared in Dreamgirls next to the talented Jennifer Hudson who by the way would be a great choice for this role. I think a good choice for the male lead would be Joaquin Phoenix, he's got that self destructive thing down.

Chicky said...

Mine too...love it!

misspoppypants said...

Why was it postponed? Does Eastwood have cognitive impairments? Anyone seen the Trouble with Curve?

Flora Goforth said...

Who pray tell is the battering ram that has been trying to shove Bradley Cooper down our throats? BC is a character actor and/or a 2nd banana to a comic at best and chalk on a blackboard at all other times.

Whoever you are knock if off. There are plenty of others for you to glomb onto. Give someone else a chance to play you.
