“I don’t care what nobody says that song is about me.”

The fight is fixed. Nick Cannon’s wife performs Em’s favorite song on his TV show. Let’s see: Six big Black back-up dancers lifting her up and down. Occasional use of signature high squeal.

A lil subliminal jab by Mr. Drumline at the end. Did he call her his soulmate? Did she grab his ass? New improved Sonny & Cher?

Miss Gucci Mane tho, mang.

Sony/Screen Gems sent out a Twitter “tweet” on Sunday that said the $28.5 million opening weekend for their Beyonce film “Obsessed” is the second biggest opening in the studio’s history.

The thriller stars Knowles and Idris Elba [click here to read] as a couple whose ideal marriage is threatened when a psychotic temp played by Ali Larter begins stalking the husband.

“Obsessed” also holds the title of the biggest opening ever for a last-week-of-April release, beating previous record holder “Mean Girls” ($24.4M). It also gives Beyonce the best opening of her career as an above-the-title star, topping 2003’s “The Fighting Temptations” ($11.7M) and “Cadillac Records” ($3.4M) from late 2008.

As previously reported, Terrence Howard’s “Fighting” came in third at the weekend box office with $11.4 million, and Jamie Foxx’s “The Soloist” earned fourth place with $9.7 million.

She’s one of the biggest-selling female singers in pop music today, and at last night’s “Obsessed” premiere [click here to read] Beyonce Knowles chatted about what it’s like being married to former playboy Jay-Z.

The “Crazy in Love” songstress stated, “I don’t really get jealous. I try my best to not be that way because I don’t really think it’s attractive.”

She continued, “I think I’m pretty good. I think naturally I’m not a jealous person — I don’t think that way.” And while she’s had overwhelming success with recording, touring, and film, Beyonce says she’d love to give Broadway a try.

Speaking of scoring a job onstage, she said, “I’ll be able to go to the theater every day and drop my kids off and maybe make some food — maybe I’ll know how to cook by then — and then go do what I love and have some normalcy and have a regular schedule… I definitely want to do Broadway.”

Idris Elba [click here to read] plays a happily married man to his former assistant, Sharon (played by Beyoncé Knowles) and all is right in his world. But when he meets the new sexy office temp Lisa (Ali Larter) a dubious game of cat and mouse begins.

Obsessed falls in line with those homewrecker thrillers that were popular in the late 80s/early 90s and this film follows the themes and formulas to a tee. The star power presented in this movie is what will pack the butts in the seats, all hoping to get to see the final battle between good and evil. But Obsessed is subpar in its execution.

Classic B-movie filler: mundane dialogue, too little pulse-quickening action and relentlessly lukewarm material show the gap between the casts eagerness to perform and the director’s and writer’s shortcomings. Knowles has yet to distinguish herself as a credible actress. Call it what you want, but when you see Mrs. Carter perform – do you see ‘Sharon’ or Beyonce just reciting lines [click here to read more]? Castmates Ali Larter and Idris Elba both have the chops to pull off their roles. With Larter playing crazies on Heroes [click here to read] and Elba honing his chops in the UK before his breakout role in The Wire.

But their enthusiasm is key and is what makes Obsessed one to go and see in the theaters. The script fails to raise the stakes, making it a half-assed thriller. For instance, Lisa emails Derek naughty pictures of herself… fully clothed?! She drugs him so that they can pretend to have sex?! There’s never even a hint of motive.

But it all comes to a head in the dramatic fight. No spoilers here, so you’ll have to go check it out – Obsessed – in theaters now!
