Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

UPDATE-Beyonce will reportedly join her BFF Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz and Saturday Night Live’s Adam Samberg in a musical film called “One Hit Wonders” by Ryan Murphy.

According to Deadline, the musical comedy will follow Witherspoon, Paltrow and Diaz as former 90’s pop stars who hit it big then fizzled with one-hit wonders. The trio comes together and forms a super group of sorts with Samberg coming up with the movie’s songs.

Beyonce’s role in the musical is currently a mystery.

According to reports the film idea came to life when Cameron, Reese and Gwyneth met with Murphy for lunch at West Hollywood’s Soho House late last year and decided they wanted to do a fun project together. Sony allegedly picked up the project within minutes of the pitch – hmm – who knew it was that easy!

Beyonce who gave birth to her first baby Blue Ivy Carter in early January is also working on two new albums in addition to her already agreed on starring role in the remake of a ‘Star is Born’ with Clint Eastwood.

Deadline has received an update from Beyonce’s rep stating she will NOT star in ‘One Hit Wonders’ – baby Blue’s mother still has plenty to keep her busy!

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
