First Look At Beyonce As Etta James

Beyoncé debuted her retro 'do today on the set of Cadillac Records, where she plays legendary soul singer Etta James. Last month Etta spoke to PageSix.com about the hurdles Beyoncé would have to clear to walk a mile in her gold heels. "Etta James ain't been no angel!" she said at the time. "I don't think she looks like me, but that's all right. They can fix that up," Etta told us. And by the looks of things, Beyoncé is slipping into the role just fine. [x]

That was quick. Didn't they just announce this movie like two months ago? I really hope Beyonce can pull this off. I'm tired of the lackluster acting and the constant singing roles but somewhere deep down I know that she can act. I just know it. I'm really looking forward to her role in the upcoming thriller Obsessed. Now that is something I want to see. Until then...
