Overheard At The Cadillac Records Premiere: Akon To Act, Mos Def Has Soft Lips


A lot was learned from Monday’s premiere of Cadillac Records — and not just that Beyonce nails her performance as a tormented Etta James. You see, we had a little spy jotting down observations as stars like Jay-Z, Mos-Def, Diddy, Ne-Yo and Adrien Brody walked the red carpet. The juiciest tidbit of the night: Akon is in talks to land a supporting role in Clint Eastwood‘s upcoming movie about Nelson Mandela. Get all of the gossip by checking out our photo gallery below.

Beyonce Wears Spanx
Beyonce sometimes wears Spanx to tame her bootyliciousness! Asked if she'd used the popular undergarment to help her squeeze into her body-hugging gown, she answered, "I do wear Spanx all the time but I'm not wearing them tonight because I don't think I could fit them anymore [because of all the food she ate during the Thanksgiving holiday]. She also said she initially joined the naysayers in dismissing her ability to play the heroin-addicted Etta James in the film but willingly accepted the challenge thanks to her mother's encouragement.
