Beyonce to Play Eartha Kitt?

Beyonce is in talks to play the late great Eartha Kitt in a new film.

After portraying Etta James in "Cadillac Records" and emulating Diana Ross in "Dreamgirls," the singer/actress is hoping to complete a trilogy of diva roles by taking on original Catwoman Kitt on the big screen.

She says, "I was going to do a film about Eartha Kitt. It's a great story, but I don't know if it's still happening.

"If it does, it'll just fall into place."

Kitt died on Christmas Day 2008 after losing her battle with colon cancer, aged 81.
