Lee Daniels is still editing "Shadowboxer," which filmed here over the summer. Next up, he says, is a musical called "Ladies Night," to start filming here in May.

"It's like 'Waiting to Exhale' meets 'Chicago' meets animation," says Daniels.

He says he's cast Indian actress Aishwarya Rai, Mo'Nique, Macy Gray, Missy Elliot, Alicia Keys,Mariah Carey, and Patti LaBelle and hopes to cast Beyonce.

Why does this sound good in theory but horrible if it actually goes through? Maybe I shouldn't buy into the too many divas in the kitchen, but damn!!

Yeah, this'll happen.

I sure hope Ms. Rai isn't intimidated by co-starring with such a strong cast of American "actresses"! Just add Ashanti it's another "Steel Magnolias!"

Wow, my favorite celebrity AND Aishwarya Rai, the queen of Bollywood, the most beautiful woman on planet Earth (at least that's what they said on 60 Minutes)...what a combo.

Anyway, I don't know if Aishwarya Rai is the most beautiful woman in the world, but she sure looks hot.
