Beyoncé has her sights set on winning an Oscar, as she reportedly plans on writing and starring in her own movie about Saartjie Baartman, a South African woman who was displayed in London freak shows during the 1800s and nicknamed “Hottentot Venus” because of her large bottom.

According to The Sun, Beyoncé has recruited a staff of acting coaches and writers to help bring Baartman’s story to life. During her time as a performer, Baartman was involved in a court case where she felt forced to exhibit her body against her will. However, she ended up losing. It’s these moments of her life and more that Beyoncé plans to bring out on the big screen.

Sources say Beyoncé wants to be taking seriously as an actress. She believes that writing a screenplay and taking on the leading role will allow her to gain the respect of the film industry. Sources also note she’s been doing a lot of research through books on Baartman, and wants to make sure she tells her story the right way.

Beyoncé hasn’t announced when we’ll be seeing the project. But as an already accomplished artist in music, we know she’ll be striving for perfection to hopefully win an Academy Award someday.

Last night, a songwriter/producer by the name of Glass John took to Twitter and claimed the delay behind Rihanna’s ANTI album is allegedly because of Travi$ Scott. John wrote and co-produced on Rihanna’s “Kiss It Better,” a song you may remember from her posting a snippet late last year. According to John, Travi$ Scott also delayed “Kiss It Better” from being released and said the rapper “keeps putting doubt in her mind.”

Funny Or Die’s Billy on the Street with Billy Eichner is a pop culture game show that follows unfiltered and unapologetic comedian Billy Eichner as he hits the streets of New York City to test unsuspecting passersby. Billy gives contestants the chance to win cash and other prizes by playing games such as “Quizzed in the Face,” with lifeline options to “Beg a Stranger” or “Compliment His Hair.” Other games could include “Dead or Boring?” and “Name 20 White People in 30 Seconds.”

An Emmy nominee for hosting Billy on the Street, Eichner appeared in a much buzzed-about Billy on the Street segment with Seth Meyers on last year’s Primetime Emmys and was named People Magazine’s Breakout Star of 2014. Billy on the Street has garnered wide praise from critics. The New York Times called it “uproarious… Eichner is doing things within the confines of the television set that feel loose, unpredictable and appealingly wrong.”Entertainment Weekly named Billy on the Street to its weekly “Must List.” USA Today called it “your new favorite show.” And The Huffington Post heralded it an “LOL-worthy” series packed with “frantic hilarity.”
