Beyonce = Wonder Woman
The Hollywood buzz is that producers are once again drooling around the celebosphere for a sexy starlet to play Wonder Woman, the Amazonian crime-fighter with a heart of gold and thighs of steel. American Idol hottie Kat McPhee has been mentioned; scarily enough, so has 52-year-old Kim Basinger.
But here's a little advice for those cigar-chomping boys in the boardroom: If you can’t get Beyonce, scrap the whole damn thing.
La Knowles is the ONLY person worthy of flying Wonder Woman’s invisible plane and twirling her golden lasso. She has the hair, the muscle, the looks. And do I need to mention those coconut-cracking gams? With her classy rep and smoldering strength, Beyonce is a pop-culture superhero.
Hell, she even has her own theme song. The new Ring the Alarm is a siren wail of rage and recklessness, with the normally composed Beyonce ferocious at the idea of infidelity messing up her shot at love and luxury. The song allegedly stems from rumors that hottie popper Rihanna is cozying up to her boss, and Beyonce's beau, Jay-Z. That's a bad idea for sure. After all, hell hath no fury like a Wonder Woman scorned.


Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
Beyonce is so overrated--I'm sick of her. She can sing and dance, but she certainly can't act. You need Jessica Alba as Wonder Woman. The movie will be a blockbuster with her. Enough said.

Beyonce is a good singer but she isn't a very good actress. I really can't picture her as Wonder Woman. I think Monica Bellucci would make the perfect Wonder Woman. She has the Amazonian body, the long flowing hair and the goddess-like beauty.
