Jamie Foxx really thinks Fantasia is his DREAMGIRL!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with an update on Bill Condon's DREAMGIRLS. Jamie Foxx has spoken out about his desire to have singer Fantasia in the cast (playing Effie in the adaptation of the musical). It's been talked about at places like Zap2it and now the New York Post has run a story on it.

I am a modern pop music illiterate, so I don't know anything about Fantasia, but I do know that I fully trust Bill Condon to cast his movies. He made both Brendan Frasier and Chris O'Donnell turn in great performances (especially Frasier) in GODS & MONSTERS and KINSEY. If Condon agrees with Foxx on this, then I'm in. What about you?
