As you may know by now Beyonce will grace the cover of Essence Magazine where she finally talks about her relationship with husband Jay Z and her upcoming album, set for a Nov. 18th release. The singer has other projects under her belt as well, ABC news is now reporting that singer Beyonce Knowles has been cast to play singer/actress Eartha Kitt in an upcoming biopic about the singer’s life: “Singer and actress Beyonce Knowles recently received the greenlight to play legendary Eartha Kitt in a biopic of the singer’s life. Her sex-kitten nighclub act with that signature throaty performance helped Kitt rise to fame. She is perhaps best known for her role as Catwoman in the 1960s “Batman” series. During her career, Kitt endured a 10-year blacklisting owing to her sharp criticism of the Vietnam War. Today, the 79-year-old singer is battling colon cancer. She told the New York Post, “I never expect anything to happen to me. “I’m the healthiest person in the world.”
Seems like the singer is back and in charge. A film she’s already rapped filming for, where she portrays living legend Etta James, Cadillac Records will premiere on Dec. 2nd. Check out the cover of the upcoming film below. Starring Beyonce, Adrien Brody and Jeffrey Wright.
There will be a two-disc deluxe version, as well as a regular version. The soundtrack drops on December 2nd, via Sony Columbia.
