Now Everybody Admit It, Knowles is your DREAMGIRL!

Hey folks, Harry here... I've known Bill Condon for years now - ever since that screening in that frozen shoebox of a theater at Sundance where GODS & MONSTERS first unfurled. Even then I think Bill was stunned by how much I looked like a young Diana Ross. After years and years of training and vocal classes he finally announced that I'd be singing and danc... what? Oh. OH! DAMMIT! Bill Condon cast Beyonce Knowles instead of me in the lead of Dreamworks' film production of DREAMGIRLS. Now Bill did a brilliant job of adapting the stage version of CHICAGO into the film it became - just in the power of his wonderful script. KINSEY reaffirmed his chops as a director. Personally, Bill helming DREAMGIRLS is very exciting. And Beyonce? Well after spending 3 of the Oscars' 5 hours on stage singing songs that never really deserved to be being sung on that stage - it'll be nice to see her talent behind Tom Eyen's lyrics and Henry Krieger's instrumentation! This broke in Variety, they made no mention of Bill passing over me for this part. DAMN THEM! DAMN THEM ALL!!!
