While this is from June 5, 2008, I figure if I missed it so did most people.
From the NY Daily News:
Wonder Woman is still fighting crime, after all these years.
Lynda Carter, 56, who played the superhero on TV, discovered the dead body of a woman floating in the Potomac River while canoeing Thursday.
The actress flagged down nearby boaters and they called rescuers, who pulled the body from the river, a spokesman for the Washington D.C. Fire Department said.
Paramedics performed CPR on the victim, but she was pronounced dead.
Carter abruptly left the private Potomac Boat Club on Water St. in northwest D.C. without commenting to reporters.
The body was discovered near the Virginia side of the river and authorities think the may have slipped and into the water while hiking.
The unidentified victim is described as a white woman, around 40-years-old, 5 foot 4, with brown, shoulder-length hair. She was wearing pearl earrings and a silver wristwatch, and had keys to a Chevrolet in her pocket.
From the LA Times:
"Beyoncé is ready for an Amazon-sized challenge -- the pop superstar wants to be the first actress to wear Wonder Woman's famed red, white and blue bathing suit on the silver screen.
"I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman? It would be great. And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It's time for that, right?"
Beyoncé says that she has met with representatives of DC Comics and Warner Bros. to express her interest in a major role in one of the many comic-book adaptations now in the pipeline following the massive success of "The Dark Knight," "Iron Man" and the "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" franchises. Beyoncé's acting to career to date has included a comedic role in "Austin Powers in Goldmember" and two notable music world roles, the first as a quasi-Diana Ross character in "Dreamgirls" and as the defiant and heroin-addicted Etta James in the upcoming "Cadillac Records."
"After doing these roles that were so emotional I was thinking to myself, 'OK, I need to be a superhero,'" Beyoncé told me this week when I met her for an interview in a suite atop the Rivington Hotel in New York. "Although, when you think about the psychology of the heroes in the films these days, they are still a lot of work, of course, and emotional. But there's also an action element that I would enjoy.""
*sigh*
No, Bouncy. You were not meant to be Wonder Woman.
It's not because you're black, it's because you're a mediocre actress.
