Beyonce Looks 15 Pounds Heavier
You can definitely see that Beyonce did, in fact, gain 15 pounds for her roles as the legendary blues singer Etta James in the upcoming movie, Cadillac Records.
The 27-year-old singer/actress also serves as executive producer for Cadillac Records, which opens in theaters everywhere on Friday, December 5.
You can listen to Beyonce’s rendition of Etta’s “At Last” at YouTube.com.
If you want to meet Beyonce, she’ll be at Bloomindales NYC (59th St) @ 6PM this Tuesday, October 28 to promote her clothing line, House of Dereon.
DO YOU THINK Beyonce will win an Oscar this time around? (Her costar Jennifer Hudson won Best Supporting Actress for Dreamgirls.)

Oh my gaawd, you can’t say she’ll get an oscar just from some pictures. And besides, i love Beyonce, but she is no Etta James
why would she win an oscar? becasuse she gained weight? please… she can´t act… she has a good voice…
Go Beyonce, do your thing girl, live out your dreams and keep making them other so called singers go crazy.
love you B
Seeing her in films makes me cringe, like it does with most singers who try to act. Eurgh. The only person I’ve seen who’s good in music and films is Will Smith - good rapper and good actor. Beyonce should stick to singing and stop over exposing herself everywhere, I’m sick of the sight of her at times. I WON’T be buying her album as a result!
I give her alot of credit for doing this film and not being glamorous. She does not look this bad in real life either, they made her look bad for the movie. A true actress will embrace the role even if it makes her look bad. I love Queen Latifa because she takes on roles where she is not glammed up. She was fantastic in the Secret Life of Bees.
We won’t know about an Oscar until we see the movie Jared!
bey is amazing and beautiful
Beyonce cannot act!!! Beyonce cannot sing!!! That was very clear in “Dreamgirls.” Now she is playing Etta James, one of the greatest blues singers of all time. Etta had a rough life and was a heroin addict. But the girl could sing through her pain. There is NO WAY that Beyonce will win, or even be nominated, for an Oscar. NO WAY!!! She can’t act and this story requires a REAL actress. Jennifer Hudson should have played the role. She can act and sing and was the only reason to see “Dreamgirls.”
First of all. JHUD did not outdo Beyonce. They were playing characters Jhuds character was abnoxious fat and had an uncontrolled voice. Beyonces Character was timid and shy and she had to play that part. While filming the director told Beyonce to bring it down a bit and not be so ferocious to stay in character.
Secondly JHUD was playing the character who was a beyatch from the start. Beyonces character had to evolve. Obviously taking more skill than the one dimensional over the top JHUD.
All those haters….you can say what you want. She is in this movie and yes she is playing Etta James. Yes she did a tribute to her on Fashion Rocks and Yes Etta James did approve of Beyonce portraying her in the movie.
Beyonce has been welcomed by the likes of Dianna Ross, Tina Turner and Etta James.
Please….like Rihanna could ever embody any of those icons
The same goes for Jennifer Hudson, Ashanti and Amerie.
Directors pick Beyonce to play these parts cuz she fits the part.
If you don’t like it…who cares. It’s more publicity for the movie anyways!
OSCAR TIME!
You gotta give it up. This woman knows how to play the game. She knows publicity and she knows how to run her business.
GO Beyonce!!!!!!
You can hate all you want people…..You’ll never win.
She is just going to keep coming back.
SORRY!!! HA HA HA HA
Sasha Farts is so not going to win an oscar, she’s over. that’s all.
please beyonce has always been a fat ass.
please beyonce has always been a fat ass.
to ndjj.
Well that sure is one pretty popular and rich fat ass.
ok that is INSULTING to Etta James. She looks like a beast!!!!!!!!
i hope she gets SOMETHING for packing on the pounds like this!!!
… AND 15 YEARS OLDER.
ewwwwww!!!
it was okay when she had some curves, but THIS is just EW!!!
God, you guys are shallow. She’s obviously doing a sad scene in the pictures and as for her gaining weight if that’s what she had to do for the role then great. It doesn’t really look like she gained all that much and you know what, this is supposed to be back in the day when curves were considered sexy. You know before anorexic hollywood chicks came and screwed up the world.
i love love love love love love you
She sounds good but she ain’t no etta james. I don’t know if she will get an oscar or not, but I know one thing she cannot act for sh%t.
im sure she will suck just like in DREAM GIRLS
First of all the movie isn’t out as of yet so we don’t know how her acting will be. If it’s any indication of her previous movies then it will be a longshot for an oscar. But if it’s for the song At Last - you can bet your bottom dollar that she will get it. She sounds incredible.
You go Beyonce!!
