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.

Selena Gomez pays Justin Bieber a PDA-filled visit! Hey there, I’m Karli Bulnes. See the young couple’s adorable backstage moment and hear our sit-down interview with Selena in today’s PopSugar Rush. Justin Bieber holds hands with a short-shorts-wearing Selena Gomez, proudly escorting his girlfriend around the set of his “Boyfriend” video in LA on Saturday. The young couple looked happy to share a break from their busy schedules together — after their cute courtside kiss last week, Justin’s been busy shooting while Selena’s been making the rounds promoting her first fragrance. Our own Katie Henry sat down with the pop star to talk about it. “So now where would you wear this, maybe on a date to a Lakers game?/(laughs) Anywhere, I mean that’s what I love about it, I mean it is it’s so for any age and it’s refreshing so you could wear it to work or you can wear it on a date night, it’s sweet.” Selena told us she actually didn’t receive any tips from fellow fragrance-makers Justin and Taylor Swift. Instead, she drew inspiration for her scent from another set of famous faces. “When I was younger I had like Mary-Kate and Ashley’s like little body spritz.” As for Ms. Gomez’s other projects, she just finished filming Spring Breakers alongside Vanessa Hudgens, who went blond for the role, something Selena says she’d never do. “Have you ever thought about going blond?/No I don’t think I could do that, I would be too nervous because I do like my hair so I wouldn’t want to hurt it …
