Wow some B-Lister is going to Broadway and it is not for Chicago.

In one word this movie is PAINFUL. Do not watch it. I watch all those movies on Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network and I hated this film. Yes I admit that I am not a fan of Fantasia, but I have seen other autobigraphies of people I don’t like and liked their movies. This was just bad. The acting was horrible, the story did not flow, the editing was choppy and it just looked cheap. I found myself wanting to fast foward through most of the movie because I was so bored out of my mind. And Fantasia’s speaking voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.
The lies with promoting this movie. The opening scene in which she was told to quit American Idol is denied by Fox. I remember when she was on Idol there was very little backlash of her being a teenage mom. And then all I have been hearing is how her daughter came out of rape, but if you watch the movie her ex-boyfriend was the father. I am sure there are more lies, but I just don’t care.
The best part of the movie is the PSA after the movie with Fantasia campaigning National Center of Family Literacy.
Are her 15 minutes up yet? 

Hello everyone,

How cute is that picture? 

KELLY Clarkson is starting to take this whole "rock star" thing a little too seriously. The "American Idol" winner showed up the other night at Hollywood’s Key Club for the Metal Skool concert and got "wasted," our spywitness reports. Clarkson climbed onstage with Metal Skool and Ryan Key of the band Yellowcard, toting a bottle of liquor and "ended up tearing off her vest and throwing it into the crowd before playing a lot of air guitar."

You always knew this girl was a wild child waiting to be let out!

The Envelope’s Tom O’Neill got Dreamgirls costar Jennifer Hudson to tell him about the filming of the scene in which she sings "And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going" — the classic tune that Jennifer HollidayBill Condon fretted so much over shooting it that he saved it up for last and shut down the set so no one could spy on the scene," O’Neill writes. "All early buzz indicates that sang in the original B’way stage version that ran in the early ’80s, and which won more or less won her a Best Actress Tony Award.For Hudson’s performing of "the most anticipated scene in one of the most eagerly awaited movies of the year, director Dreamgirls is about to transform Hudson into a superstar," he adds. "[And] she’s already the frontrunner for the Supporting Actress Oscar."
