    I second that, people please DON'T GIVE UP YOUR DAY JOB! Rare is the person who is talented enough to dabble in more than one field successfully. Bette Midler, Elvis, Cher. It's time agents and support teams stop filling their stars heads with the horrible notion that they can do both.

    Beyonce, please stick to singing and your fashion line (oops my bad your mother's fashion line).

    What's that, Hollywood? You want to cast a singer/actress in a movie that requires her to act with depth and complexity? That's a great idea!! Why just look at the cinematic masterpiece that was "Glitter"!

    Beyond the name, does Beyonce even know the story of Wonder Woman?

    You know how bad of an actress Beyonce is? She was the lead actress in "Dreamgirls", and she was blown out of the water by a then-unknown Jennifer Hudson who went on to win a Golden Globe and an Oscar for just showing up and singing.

    Pop quiz: What was the song Beyonce sang for Dreamgirls? Don't know? Neither does anyone else.

    In addition to sucktacular performances in travesties like "The Pink Panther" and "Goldmember", I heard she'll be portraying Etta James in "Cadillac Dreams", and I threw up in my mouth a little.

    What's next, 50 Cent in "Macbeth"? Axl Rose in "Our Town"?

    Here's an idea, why not cast ACTORS? You know, the people who train and study the art of film and the stage? And by "actors" I don't mean deadwoods like Paul Walker, Jessica Alba, or Megan Fox (Yes, yes I know Jessica and Megan are hot. They just can't ACT.)

    I think it can be safely said that the fans are a "Hell No!" vote on this media begging/plea.

    I only read this in hopes of a Nicolas Cage jab. Thank you for that.

    Why anybody would ever think Beyoncé would make a good Wonder Woman when there's an actress out there who was born for the role (Claudia Black, I'm looking at you) is beyond me.

    I totally think Spider man would have been better without Tobey Macguire considering he followed up the role by playing a jockey!

    Oh well! Beyonce has now been cast in the starring role of a biopic about Eartha Kitt.
    So throw up some more.
    Can't you just see Beyonce butchering Eartha Kitt's unique Southern/Euro accent?
    mee---- Ewwwww....yukkk!!!
