Beyonce was almost overlooked for the role of Deena Jones in "Dreamgirls" - because she was too sexy.

Director Bill Condon has revealed he had reservations about casting the 25-year-old star as the Motown singer, even though she made it clear she desperately wanted the part.

Beyonce braved freezing temperatures to show off her curves and flash her armpits in a strapless dress at the London premiere of "Dreamgirls" on Sunday night.

The singer-and-actress dazzled on the red carpet in a shimmering, sequined gown created by top designer Elie Saab. However, Beyonce admitted she wasn't planning on wearing the revealing outfit all night as the temperature in London's Leicester Square plummeted towards zero.

Even though she's a star herself, Beyonce still gets star-struck in Hollywood and flashes her armpits when she greets other celebrities, instead of giving them a winning smile. The 25-year-old star was so overwhelmed when she saw Diana Ross - who Beyonce's "Dreamgirls" character is loosely based on - that she was too nervous to speak to her.

Some celebrities are so busy with life they don't even have the time to see their musical journal flash on the big screen.

Believe it or not, Diana Ross recently said that she hasn't seen "Dreamgirls" yet - the film based on her life.

Diana Ross could teach the rising starlets of today a lesson or two about showbiz and she would be more than happy to fill them in on the details.

Diana says she would love to give Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera singing lessons.

In case you're wondering what guy Lindsay Lohan has added to her list of boyfriends, it's another one of the rich - but not famous.

Sources say that LinLo has found blissful lust in the arms of her new boyfriend, an 18-year-old shipping master tycoon. His name is Arne Naess Evan and, although you probably may never have heard of him, he's the son of the big-haired "Miss Diva" herself - music legend Diana Ross.
