Beyonce's Beef is a Family Affair

Beyonce's not creating the supposed catfight with "Dreamgirls" costar Jennifer Hudson – her daddy Matthew is.

As E!'s Marc Malkin reports, during the filming of "Dreamgirls," the ever-overbearing Matthew tried to sign Hudson as a management client, only to rebuffed by the former "American Idol" contestant. Despite her rejection, Matthew went around telling people he'd been representing the breakout star.

What's more, after an early screening, both Matthew and B's mom (Tina) flipped over Hudson's screen time, arguing with writer/director Bill Condon that the flick needed to be recut and include more B and less J -- Condon refused.

Of course it's not the first time Matthew has gone ballistic over Beyonce. Back in June, when TMZ posted video of PETA confronting Beyonce over her fondness for fur, Matthew tried just about everything in his quiver to get it taken down. It didn't work.

1. Good lord this whole family is a joke. Her dad is a di&k, not to mention a liar and her mom can't stand the fact that her daughter has little true talent. Thanks for posting the story TMZ, let's see how long it takes daddy dearest to try to get this post down too. (And fail in his attempts again I'm sure)

3. Beyonce's father is not helping her any he's making her look like a stuck up snobb because what every he does or says peolpe are reporting it was B that said it or did it! B needs to pull a Janet at let her father go as her manager! She is a really sweet and supportive girl but she's been looking very bad in the press lately thanks to her father!

6. I sure hope that Jennifer Hudson gets the awards, not Beyonce. She claimed that she's ALREADY a star and has money and fame and blah blah blah. Really cocky on her part, wouldn't you say?? Seriously, enough of Beyonce.

7. absolutely right jane doe. with all that has transpired did he really think hudson was stupid enough to sign with his duplicitous ass? what an insult to hudson, who is by FAR the more talented of the two. i find this revelation hysterically funny.

8. I cannot stand Matthew. I am so glad somone said no to him, who does he think he is? Know he is trying to take credit for Jennifer Hudson. I was really starting not to like Beyonce because of all the rumors going around that they are give Jennifer attitude, but I really think Jennifer can handle herself. We'll see how it plays out.

13. Beyonce I Hope you are reading this bitch. Although I doubt you can actually read. You suck! I don't think you are talented at all! You sound like a howler monkey when you sing Deja Vu and Ring the Alarm. Jennifer Hudson has more talent in her pinky finger than you in your entire body!

14. i cant stand beyonce! come on! transfer the fame to other colored ppl who deserve it

15. Matthew let somebody other than your meal ticket have the spotlight for a change. Respect what Jennifer did in the movie and if you don't like Beyonce's role in the movie than cast her in another part where she can be the star next time. I take it the studio told you exactly what Beyonce's role was going to be in this movie, but you didn't listen and thought you could bully your way into making her the star. Kudos to the director for staying true to what he wanted to do with the movie. Maybe Beyonce should stick to Ausin Powers movies. Or that lame MTV movie she was in.
