The film is produced by John DeLuca, Marc Platt and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Director Rob Marshall released a statement on Halle landing the role and he couldn’t be happier, even if rancid racists are questioning the casting. “After an extensive search, it was abundantly clear that Halle possesses that rare combination of spirit, heart, youth, innocence and substance — plus a glorious singing voice — all intrinsic qualities necessary to play this iconic role,” said Marshall. The news caused a bit of confusion, however, fans at first thought Halle BERRY would be playing the iconic character. Halle has since congratulated her namesake on the role. In case you needed a reminder… Halles get it DONE. Congratulations @chloexhalle on this amazing opportunity, we can’t wait to see what you do! #TheLittleMermaid #HalleBailey pic.twitter.com/z0Rik2nxRe — Halle Berry (@halleberry) July 3, 2019 this means the world. happy to share names with you love you lots https://t.co/Wzkj8Mgsze — chloe x halle (@chloexhalle) July 3, 2019 Congrats Halle!

All Hail King Bey! Yoncé Gives Three Teens Record Deals… The Next Destiny’s Child Or Nah?

Beyoncé Signs Three Teen Artists To Deals Totaling $1.5 Million You may recall video footage of the Bailey sisters which we posted. Well apparently Beyoncé was so taken with Chloe and Halle that she signed them!!! But that’s not all, she also signed another young talent. According to Page Six reports : Beyoncé has found a group of three aspiring singers and signed the teen crooners to contracts totaling $1.5 million. The superstar is asking a Manhattan judge to approve the five-year deals, a requirement because the girls are minors, The Post’s Julia Marsh reports. The first contract covers LA-based sisters Chloe Bailey, 17, and Halle Bailey, 15. Beyoncé’s manager came across a YouTube video of the duo belting out “Pretty Hurts,” a song from Beyoncé’s last album. The video has over 10 million views. Their father, Douglas, gushes in court papers, “We cannot think of a better person to help guide the girls,” adding his daughters “worship” Bey. Their $1 million contract provides for up to six albums over five years. It awards Beyoncé 15 percent of the sisters’ gross earnings. Beyoncé also signed a third singer, 14-year-old Sophie Beem of New York, to her Parkwood Entertainment company. Beem inked a $560,000 deal after she wowed Parkwood executives. Beem finished in the top 40 contestants on “The X Factor” in 2012. It should be interesting to see how these kids do but it seems like signing the Bailey sisters was a no-brainer. Those girls are something else! Hit the flip for video footage of all three girls. GettyImages/WENN
