LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Andie MacDowell (news), Alfre Woodard (news) and Bryce Wilson are joining the cast of MGM's Queen Latifah comedy "Beauty Shop."


MacDowell will play a conservative Southern socialite who goes through a rebirth when she follows Queen Latifah's character from her fancy hairdressers, run by Jorge (Kevin Bacon (news)), to her new salon. Woodard is set to play Miss Josephine, the shop's Afrocentric stylist, who spouts Maya Angelou poetry. Wilson, meanwhile, will play James, a con/truck driver turned hairstylist. Nobody can figure out whether he is the ultimate metrosexual or actually gay.


~The cast makeup and their brief blurbs makes me "anxious" about how the movie will turn out in final product.~
I don't think that this movie will make it. Why are these people selected for the movie? Kevin Bacon? Andie McDowell? Alfre Woodard? What ever happened to the comediennes that were supposed to be in the film, like Mo'Nique? Bryce may be the only person in this present line-up besides the Queen that makes sense. This movie will not live up to the hype and anticipation that was surrounding it.
