Halle Berry????

Aretha Franklin has revealed that Halle Berry is one of the three women she's considering casting to play her in an upcoming biopic.

For real.

The Respect singer says, "I'm still thinking of several people, and that would be Halle Berry, possibly Fantasia, she'll be through on Broadway in January, and it could be Jennifer Hudson — you never know. There's no final on that yet. I'm still observing them and their projects. Dreamgirls I've watched a couple of times lately, and I'm still just trying to arrive at the right decision."

You better hurry, girl. Get Halle while she's pregnant!

      In all the pictures I've seen of her recently she has this look on her face like she just isn't present. And it looks like someone else is trying to dress and style her. I wonder if the Alzheimer's is setting in…

      Jennifer Hudson would be the better choice seeing she looks more like Aretha. Now, how in the heck can Hallie play her? She doesn't look like her and she sure not her size. Aretha is smoking something.

      JENNIFER HUDSON, DEFINITELY. (FANTASIA NEEDS TO PLAY GLADYS KNIGHT!)

    41. honeydoo says – reply to this


      41

      Fantasia looks way too much like a cheap whore who can't stop yelling and screaming,forget singing long enough to be considered!
      as for Hudson,she's fat like Aretha and can sing but that jackass who said Husdson could act and Berry couldn't;you're fucking crazy bitch or what?
      Hudson won for best supporting actress,not BEST ACTRESS idiot!
      Hudson won't ever get to the level of Berry,not in this mother fucking lifetime!
      I'll remind of of Dorothy Dandridge played by Halle Berry,a role for which she had to dance and sing and that got her an Emmy,Golden Globe awards!

      Aretha was actually pretty and thin when she was younger.

      No Halle. But she was attractive.

    43. MEEEEEEEE says – reply to this


      43

      100% should be Fantasia…. the girl is so much like a younger Aretha it is astounding

      Hudson is wonderful, I love her but she is more a DIana Ross type…. Fantasia has the ass kicking of Aretha

      Re: Jamaican Girl – First Bitch, you number 11. Stop talking smack about Aretha and Halle Berry. Get over yourself. Don't hate, congratulate. I bet you and your nasty ass don't even know the words to Respect.

    45. asil421 says – reply to this


      45

      First of all, if it is a biopic than I'm sure it will cover her early years when she was a lot thinner than she is now. This is Aretha Franklin we're talking about right??? She used to be thin in her early career. I guess no one writing these comments knows anything about her prior to now.

      I don't think she should be played by Halle, or Jennifer Hudson, or Fantasia. I don't think anyone in the biz right now could handle this role.

    46. Robert says – reply to this


      46

      Does anyone really want to see a movie about her???????

    47. asil421 says – reply to this


      47

      Aretha Franklin use to be thin do any of you all know who she is? Her career started back in the 60's. And none of them should play her. There isn't an actress out now that could pull this off.

      And Jennifer Hudson would have to lose some weight to play Aretha in her early years. You may want to do some research.

      50

      The question is, do any of these women WANT to portray such a loser? Aretha over-estimates interest in her life. She was famous years ago, but she's laughable now. It's not the weight-lose the diva, get some humility and get a stylist. Take a page or two out of Stevie Nicks' book on How To Treat People.

      54

      The ONLY things who could portray Re Re in a movie are: the Michelin Man, The Goodyear Blimp and Jabba the Hutt. She was never skinny and never beautiful, therefore Halle should not play her. Fantasia sucks ass and no one will pay to watch her. Jennifer Hudson's 15 minutes are up and she can't act worth a shit, just scream on camera and snort her nostrils like a water buffalo. Watching Re Re's life story will be like watching The Food Network for 24 hours.

      67

      Aretha is delusional. Never, in her life time, was she close to being Halle Berry pretty. As I recollect, ReRe has always been the opposite. Also, Halle Berry can not belt out a tune let alone a soulful one. Jennifer Hudson is the best bet. Jennifer will always play the role of the fat Black woman who can sing.

      Making fun of someone's weight is a low shot to begin with, but she has really really let herself go. I'm not skinny by any means, but she is a damn blimp. When it gets to the point where instead of pounds, they tell you, you weigh 3 baby elephants, its time for a stomach staple!

    69. What a fucking cow says – reply to this


      69

      Re: YoYoMama – LMFAO! You hit the nail on the head! There's a difference between being fat and being MORBIDLY OBESE. This cow is MORBIDLY OBESE and a bitch to boot. She's broke as shit and skips out on her dinner tabs and hotel rooms. They need to put this cow in jail the next time she does. Maybe she'll lose weight behind bars. Disgusting human being and disgusting to look at all rolled (no pun intended) into one.

    70. Holy Cow! says – reply to this


      70

      Who does this fat bitch think she is? Halle Berry? Is she so delusional that she thinks people will part with $10 to see a movie about her overeating? I bet she shows up in a Hoveround to the premier since she too fat and lazy (and entitled) to walk. What a beast.

    71. Pissed says – reply to this


      71

      First off you fat ass bitch don't try to act like you skinny and shit and second of all when Aretha was young she was the shit and looked like a fuckin mkodel. And seconde of all you aren't even worthy enough to wipe Aretha's Ass you stupid ass prick go choke on a cock and die

      Aretha should consider John Travolta in drag and black face.

      IT IS SO SO APPARENT THAT MOST OF YOU CONTRIBUTORS ARE UNDERAGE.
      MOST OF THE COMMENTS ARE UNINFORMED OPINIONS OF IGNORANT TEENAGERS.
      ARETHA FRANKLIN WAS A VERY BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY IN THE 70S AND 80S.
      SHE IS OBESSED AND NOT FAT. OBESSITY IS A WEIGHT PROBLEM AND DOES NOT RESULT FROM COLLESTEROLS AND CALLORIES.
      AT 65 YEARS OF AGE, PEOPLE, SHE HAS DONE WELL FOR HERSELF.

      YOU GUYS SHOULD GET INFORMED AND STOP DISPLAYING YOUR IGNORANCE FOR ALL TO READ.
      HALLE BERRY LOOKS MUCH LIKE HER IN THE DAYS OF YORE.

      93

      The first time I heard of Aretha was in the 80's when "Freeway of Love" came out and I was in high school. I remember the video very well: she was fat and had a haircut like Florida Evans. She screamed her way thru the entire (awful) song. The only song I like is "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" with George Michael and even then she almost ruined it with her screeching. Halle is way to beautiful to play her. J-Hud cant carry a movie as the lead. Fantasia is ghetto trash and no one will pay to watch her (her latest CD was a flop too). Put a wig on Sean Kingston and let him play Re Re.

      Re: FUPA – The world of music did not begin in the eighties. In my estimation, that's when it ended. Check Aretha out in the sixties, her heyday.

      95

      Re: Remember Duane Allman – I am familiar with and also like the music of the 60's and 70's. I remember "Respect" and Aretha's older songs too. This heifer screamed her way thru the 60's, 70's and 80's. Give me Stevie Nicks, Smokey Robinson, Tina Turner, Heart and Fleetwood Mac over this fat, rude, overrated slob anyday.
