HER CHARACTER Lounge singer Lilly, who's a love interest for advertising hotshot-turned-smalltown choir director Cuba Gooding Jr. and a choir pariah for having borne a child out of wedlock.
HER QUALIFICATIONS The Destiny's Child frontwoman certainly has the pipes -- and the melisma -- to be a gospel soloist. And she showed off her ''Foxxy'' side in her film debut, ''Austin Powers in Goldmember.''
FUN FACT Beyoncé isn't ready to dominate film as she has music, at least not yet. Of her ''Temptations'' role, she said to Time magazine, ''I didn't want to star... or at least I wanted another star around to take the pressure off. I need to wait a couple more movies to make sure I know what I'm doing before I take over.''
WHAT'S NEXT A possible fall tour to promote her solo debut, ''Dangerously in Love,'' then a return to the studio in early 2004 to record the next Destiny's Child album.
