You won’t believe the movie Beyoncé rejected a role in 

It’s Beauty and the Beast.

Director of the live-action adaptation of the 1991 fantasy film, Bill Cordon recently revealed that he tried but failed to get Beyoncé to be a part of the movie.

Cordon said, “I tried to get her into Beauty and the Beast, but it wasn’t a big enough part. She would have been a good feather duster.”

Actress, Gugu Mbatha-Raw was later cast for the role.

 

Blac Chyna sues the entire Kardashian family 

Because nothing stops anyone from dragging a “powerful”, “vindictive” family to court if need be.

Chyna is accusing her former in-laws of squashing her reality show, Rob and Chyna. She claims the Kardashians interfered with the production of the show hence causing E! Network to pull the plug.

The network has denied Chyna’s claims with documented evidence that says it was practically impossible to film as Chyna would not sit in the same room as Rob.

According to TMZ, she’s also alleging battery against Rob who she says “grabbed her phone, knocked her to the ground … and she ended up calling her son King’s nanny for help. She claims Rob flipped out and tore her bedroom door off at the hinges.”

Chyna also accuses Rob of being suicidal. TMZ got a series of text messages the former couple exchanged.
