Beyoncé Turned Down a Part in Beauty and the Beast Because It Was Beneath Her

Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is known for many fabulous talents, but acting isn’t exactly one of them.

Heath Ledger Wanted Christian Bale to Actually Beat the Crap Out of Him in The Dark Knight

If you thought people accidentally socking each other in genre shows and movies was a distinctly 2017 phenomenon, well, turns out stars have been actually smacking each other around on screen instead of pretending for a while. But in The Dark Knight’s case, it wasn’t accidental: it was at the request of Heath Ledger. The…
