Mahalia Jackson's Family - Not Fans Of Fantasia Barrino


When former American Idol winner, Fantasia Barrino was first offered the role of gospel singer Mahalia Jackson, the heirs of Mahalia were pretty happy about the decision. Apparently though now that Fantasia is pregnant with the baby of a married man they are not so thrilled that she will be portraying the gospel singer. I could see why they would be upset, especially as this whole Fantasia being with the married guy has seemed to go on forever. Plus, Fantasia originally told everyone she was just gaining weight for the role and forgot to mention the whole pregnancy thing. It was only the fact that she just could not hide it any longer that she came clean about it. Because Fantasia did get pregnant, producers had to push back the start of the film by six months and now Fantasia is making extra demands for when she comes back which has producers maybe looking elsewhere. If I am Fantasia I get to the set as soon as I can because a movie beats a reality show or touring on cruise ships.
