Beyonce Knowles is headed back to the silver screen. The 29-year-old superstar will play the leading role in A Star is Born, a film directed and produced by Oscar winner Clint Eastwood, Deadline reports.

The movie will be a musical, scheduled to begin production in the fall. While a male lead has yet to be cast, names like Will Smith, Diddy, Eddie Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., and Jon Hamm have been floating around.

This will be Hollywood’s fourth version of A Star Is Born, the last being the 1976 version starring Barbara Streisand. The basic premise is a singer turned superstar, a role Beyonce has played before in the 2006 film Dreamgirls.

Beyonce Knowles claims she only had one boyfriend when she was a teenager, and their relationship never got too intimate. And she has never dated anyone else apart from her rapper husband Jay-Z, who she met in 2002.

The pop superstar told MediaTakeOut.com: “People would be surprised as to the lack of experiences I’ve had. When I was 12 or 13 I had my first boyfriend, and he was my boyfriend until I was 17. At that age, that was a long time. I’ve always been very loyal and a little more mature.

“Though I was too young for it to really be a boyfriend — we didn’t live together, we didn’t, you know . . . That was my only experience with a guy, and since then I’ve only had one other boyfriend in my life — Jay.”

Beyonce, who married Jay-Z in 2008, has revealed in the past that her friendships with women have stopped her from getting tied up in unhealthy relationships with men.

Congratulations to Beyoncé for having the highest selling DVD of 2010! I AM…WORLD TOUR sold 132,000 copies, on its way to going double-platinum, and has outsold Rush’s Beyond the Lighted Stage and Michael Jackson’s Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour

Beyoncé Knowles and her mother and business partner in the House of Deréon fashion line, Tina are getting into the home decor business. Their House of Deréon and Deréon brands have expanded into bedding through a license with Arrow Home Fashions.

Home Textiles today reports that the new lines feature European inspired prints and colors, bohemian patchwork pieces, metallic threads, shams with diamond quilt stitching and feminine dressmaking details. Pieces will be presented to department stores and major retailers.

House of Deréon is the higher end line with retail prices ranging from $149.99 to $199.99. The Deréon line skews younger and more inexpensive with prices ranging from $49.99 to $99.99.

Tina Knowles has designed custom window treatments and bedding for her home and is quoted as saying that she has been excited about doing a home line since they started House of Deréon.

She likes pin-tucking and beading and those details will be present in the line. The House of Deréon began in 2004 and is named for Beyoncé’s grandmother’s maiden name.

She may always be promoting Samantha Thavasa handbags, but Beyonce’s got plenty of love in her heart for Botkier too. The singer hit an airport in South Korea with her Botkier Noa handbag in tow. I love the purse’s metallic sheen, and I also think B looks very adorable in her uncharacteristically playful tee and cardi. All in all, it’s a fun look.

Last time Beyonce hit up Japan to support handbag line Samantha Thavasa, sister Solange was in tow. But this time B pulled a solo act, shining onstage with her pretty Rock & Republic frock and her glitzy metallic Samantha Thavasa purse. Just what every diva’s heart desires!

Now that’s what I call a bad case of hat hair. Beyonce’s new wavy, mushroomy hairstyle may have been a major hair don’t, but her purple Dior Samourai 1947 woven handbag is a definite DO. The upscale purse some Sasha Fierce-ness to Beyonce’s Katy Perry-esque polka-dot playsuit, though I’d love to see her pair that gorgeous bag with something a bit more formal. Either way, the look is a winner…from the neck down, at least.

Solange Knowles and her big sis Beyonce (no last name necessary) headed to Japan and did what every celeb does when they’re in Japan: play around with Samantha Thavasa handbags. The flashy metallic purses they’re carrying are from the new Disney-inspired collection, and if you look closely you’ll see matching Mickeys hanging from each bag. The girls look lovely in their girly get-ups, and the purses are fun, if not a tad too playful for my taste.
