Beyonce Knowles Overshadowed In 'Dreamgirls'

...more Beyonce Knowles »

Rumour has it that Beyonce Knowles is not as nice as she pretends to be.

Beyonce and her controlling parents Tina and Mathew Knowles were all geared up for the release of new film ?Dreamgirls? and are horrified that another actress is receiving all the attention.

Beyonce acts alongside Jennifer Hudson in the forthcoming film and they are making sure Hudson knows exactly how the Knowles family feels about her.

An insider told The Bosh: "Jennifer attended the screening of the movie and (acknowledged) Tina & Mathew Knowles, but they pretended not to see her ... and Mathew threw Jennifer the ugliest look."

After the screening, Mathew Knowles reportedly called up the films director and "let him have it" over his little girl being overshadowed and the fact the Beyonce?s character in the film is portrayed so badly.

Things came to head between Beyonce and Hudson when the diva refused to speak to her co-star prior to their appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show.

"Backstage, Beyonce hugged/greeted everyone, but did not say a word to or even look in Jennifer's direction. Jennifer was used to Mathew (who was always on set) being shady to her, but this was the first time Beyonce expressed any dislike or discomfort toward her.

?Finally, Jennifer went and spoke to Beyonce, but Beyonce acted just as distant and shady as her parents did at the movie screening."

Maybe Beyonce should just stick to singing and shaking her booty as all the critics have been raving about Hudson?s performance with little to be said about Beyonce.

Ha ha!

IF this rumor is true, it would be very sad that such a trailblazing achievement such as ”Dreamgirls”would be overshadowed by such diva-esque behavior. Furthermore, in the Broadway play , it was Jennifer’s Holiday’s portrayal of Effie which steals the musical- she won a tony for it. Having heard Ms. Hudson’s vocals , she is a consummate singer, which is vital to portraying Effie. Therefore, she deserves the attention she receiving. Beyonce, I would hope, is more gracious than this rumor suggest

Sorry to say I can see Miss Beyonce being a little snooty. These actresses Know how to smile in front of the camera and be nice. But let me tell you there is no way she’s going to give up her spot as diva. She’s used to living a certin way and that means constantly being raved about. Poor Beyonce, are we feeling threatend?

If this is true I will have to change the way I look at Beyonce, I believe she is a hard worker but to be upset with Jennifer is ridiculous, everyone DESERVES a chance to shine and Beyonce has been shining for a long time. Beyonce you went into the recording studio without your father and produced a good album and that said you were being an adult so you need to continue to be an adult and let Jennifer have her time and enjoy it. Remember god don’t like ugly.

I think people like the internet print media is trying to stir up something between the Knowles family and Jennifer Hudson. Beyonce has been performing too long to be treatend with Jennifer Hudson. Again Beyonce is a hard worker and she has a great competive theatrical bond with the cast. If you want to compare two women how about kelly clarkson and Faith Hill. (an rookie and professional).
