Beyonce Returns To The Big Screen In New Thriller

Beyonce Knowles is set to return to the big screen as one of the stars of a new stalker thriller. The pop superstar, who won acclaim for roles in Dreamgirls and Austin Powers In Goldmember, will play the wife of a successful businessman, who becomes the target of a stalker - played by Heroes stunner Ali Larter - in Obsessed.


American Gangster star Idris Elba will play Knowles' husband in the film, which will start shooting this summer.


The singer will executive produce the thriller along with her father/manager Mathew Knowles, according to Daily Variety.


Knowles is also producing and co-starring as Etta James in upcoming biopic Cadillac Records.

Beyonce's Mother Gets Emergency Medical Treatment On Film Set

Beyonce Knowles' designer mum TINA sparked fears for her health on Tuesday night when an ambulance was called to the singer/actress' trailer on the set of Cadillac Records.


Tina Knowles had joined the "Ring The Alarm" singer on location in New Jersey when she began to experience shortness of breath due to a bout of influenza - the same symptoms suffered by a sick Janet Jackson Monday.


Paramedics arrived on the scene minutes before midnight on Tuesday and while the emergency medical technicians (EMT) refused to comment to waiting paparazzi about who they were called out to treat, TMZ.com claims Beyonce's dad Matthew confirmed it was Tina who needed attention, not his famous daughter.


Tina was checked over by the EMTs and despite high blood pressure, her condition was not thought serious enough to transport her to local hospital.

Beyoncé's Father Fires Back at Aretha Franklin

The queen is getting stung back.

Beyoncé's father/manager, Mathew Knowles, has now lashed out against Aretha Franklin in defense of his daughter over a remark she made at the Grammys.

"Something this ridiculous – it's childish, it's unprofessional," Mathew Knowles said in a statement Thursday. "And it's a sad day when egos get bruised because somebody used the word king, queen, prince or princess."

Franklin – known as the Queen of Soul – was offended after Beyoncé introduced Tina Turner as "the queen" during the duo's Grammy performance.
