Big Apple Beyonce

Singer Beyonce, flanked by a beefy bodyguard, and her long-time boyfriend Jay Z were spotted leaving Bar Pitti in New York's West Village after having lunch together. The "Dreamgirls" star's next big screen project is "Cadillac Man." In the film, Beyonce will play blues legend Etta James in the story of the rise of 1950s-era Chicago record label Chess Records and its founder, Leonard Chess, played by Adrian Brody, who started out selling albums out of his Cadillac. Beyonce is also serving as executive producer of the film, with some of her profits going to her family's Survivor Foundation, which supports recovering addicts. She'll also be recording 4 songs for the soundtrack. Just please, please don't let her cover my all-time favorite Etta James song, "At Last!"
