But don’t worry, this isn’t a new celebrity feud: it’s for their movie ‘Obsessed,’ which opens in theaters this Friday. Beyonce and Ali Larter co-star in the movie, which includes Ali’s character, Lisa, becoming obsessed with her co-worker (Derek, played by Idris Elba), who is married to Beyonce’s character, Sharon.
‘[My character] starts off in a great relationship with her husband –
very charming, sweet — but when tested, she gets really gangsta,’ says
Beyonce, who admits that in real life she’s been known to break out her inner
Sasha Fierce. ‘I’m a professional person, so I don’t really get too
gangsta, but I am a businesswoman — and I am quite gangsta, I should
say. So whenever I have to, in my own way, I have to turn on the
gangsta, yes.’‘[This role] was so much fun,’ says the singer-actress. ‘I had just finished playing Etta James
in ‘Cadillac Records’ and it was so different. I gained weight for the
movie, and a couple of weeks later I had to play Sharon, so it was hard
for me to make the mental adjustment, the physical adjustment — so I
immediately went right into work trying to transform into this woman
who basically fights for her family.’ "
It seems like I’ve been hearing about this movie, off and on, forever! From what I’ve seen of the previews, the husband basically steps out of the way while the women are the two who duke it out. Every guy’s fantasy, right?
Does it sound like something you want to see?

I just finished watching the movie. I thought it was very good. People were comparing it to Fatal Attraction but it had it’s own plt to stand on. The whole point of the movie was that the woman was a psycho. I’m happy that he didn’t actually have an affair and then the woman retaliated. I thought the acting was great.
The plot seems good but i’m a little skeptical about Beyonce’s acting skills. If you see it can you write a review and let us know how it was?
Isn’t this Fatal Attraction all over again?
It’s “Fatal Attraction” meets Lifetime movie. You know, a psycho woman trying to destroy a family.
Nope, not in the least.
For one, I’m sick of movies and TV shows pushing the notion that women have to fight over men (“Bachelor,” I’m looking at you). It’s as though we’re forced to believe that without a man, we are incomplete. Puh-leeze.
Second, Beyonce’s acting is about as bad as that black and gold monstrosity she wore to the awards.
ill pass thanks.
Vera, I am a girl and feel comfortable stating that this is not every guys fantasy!
Vogue t.r.a.s.h.e.d. it when she was on the cover. Capital T. So no, I don’t have any interest. I don’t like that stalker type of movie anyway, I had a stalker, it is never entertaining for me.
This is going to be in theaters? I thought it would go straight to video.
i think this movie looks slightly hilarious.
