Beyonce Taking on New Role

Beyonce, in New York with boyfriend Jay-Z, has been tapped to play legendary singer Etta James in a new biopic about the star's life, according to Page Six.

Although Etta was at first a bit wary about the Dreamgirl stepping into the admitted former heroin addict's shoes, not only because Beyonce was a bit too "bourgie" to play the bad-girl, but that Etta wasn't convinced she could sound like the bluesy songstress.

It was Etta's son that convinced her otherwise, saying "they're thinking about how she looks, but mama, she can really sing!'"

We're not so sure about her acting skills, but after her performance with Tina Turner on the Grammys, we're fairly certain Beyonce could sing anything!
