According to PageSix.com Beyonce Knowles has been hand picked to portray Etta James 'Cadillac Records,' a biopic about the blues singer's life.

Producers have informed Etta that she'll get the chance to consult with the 26-year-old Destiny's Child star, giving her pointers on both the acting and the singing — the latter being something the "At Last" singer was most concerned with when she got wind of the casting.

You know what Etta James should be concerned with? Cedric The Entertainer being cast in a movie about her. This guy has the reverse midas touch when it comes to movies.
