Beyonce Ditches Lead Role in Clint Eastwood Film, ‘A Star Is Born’

In June, news hit that Beyonce was set to star in a Clint Eastwood-directed remake of "A Star Is Born." Now it looks like Queen B has pulled out of the movie's lead role and left Eastwood hanging without a leading lady.

But before you go jumping to conclusions about the two stars' political allegiances contributing to the failed film collaboration, both parties have released statements on the matter.

"I was looking forward to the production of 'A Star Is Born' and the opportunity to work with Clint Eastwood," Bey tells E! News.
