Beyonce Knowles' Cadillac Emergency

Several days ago, R&B diva Beyonce had a scare on the set of her new movie, Cadillac Records. While shooting for the film, an ambulance was sent to Beyonce's trailer for her mother, Tina Knowles. Luckily, the condition of her mother wasn't serious enough to require hospitalization. From hiphop-elements.com: Tina Knowles had joined her daughter on location in New Jersey when she began to experience shortness of breath due to a stint of the flu - the same symptoms suffered by a sick Janet Jackson Monday (Mar 11). Paramedics arrived on the scene minutes before midnight on Tuesday and while the emergency medical technicians (EMT) refused to comment to waiting paparazzi about who they were called out to treat, TMZ.com claims Beyonce's dad Matthew confirmed it was Tina who needed attention, not his famous daughter. Tina was checked over by the EMTs and despite high blood pressure, her condition was not thought serious enough to transport her to local hospital. Beyonce will be playing Etta James in the upcoming biopic film Cadillac Records. According to early pictures of Beyonce exposed in character, she had to bulk up a bit for the role of a heavy set Etta James. Read more about Beyonce's upcoming role at afterellen.com.
