If you grew up in a Black household, you probably woke up Sunday mornings to the smell of Sunday dinner cooking and to the captivating voice of Mahalia Jackson.

We're already familiar with Jill Scott's singing and acting chops and now Queen Latifah and Jamie Foxx are giving her a shot to play the incomparable "Queen Of Gospel" Mahalia Jackson in a big movie coming soon.

R&B singer Fantasia may loose the role of her life, playing legendary gospel great, Mahalia Jackson. Apparently the creators of the film, including writers and producers are pissed that Fantasia is pregnant! And rumor has it that since Fanny neglected to reveal the truth about her sudden weight gain-and the face that she was preggo (4 months along) have movie folks all up upset.
