Beyonce Knowles has long been attached to Clint Eastwood’s remake of
musical classic “A Star is Born”. But today’s the day she’s decided to
disattach – well, the news that she’s distancing herself from the
long-gestating project surfaced today anyway – herself from the project,
Variety reports.
Knowles’ excuse for dropping out? “I’m gonna be a baby momma”.
Not a bad one at all!
But pregnancy isn’t the only excuse Knowles is likely using; the fact
that Eastwood has struggled to attract a male lead to the project –
despite courting such big-timers as Leonardo Di Caprio and Russell Crowe
– might also have spurred Knowles decision to look for a project more
stable (after she delivers her bub, of course).
The remake of the Judy Garland/James Mason film may have already
found a female replacement though; Eastwood’s said to be keen on jazz
musician Esperanza Spalding.
Let’s hope she’s a patient (and ideally impregnable) young thing.
