Beyonce Knowles has told MTV she is to record a single from the new Pink Panther movie starring Steve Martin. The singer appears in the film as Xania, a pop star and murder suspect.
Knowles also hopes to record music for another movie - 'Dreamgirls' - which she will begin filming with Usher and 'Ray' star Jamie Foxx at the end of the year. As previously reported, Beyonce will play the leader of a trio of female singers, in the film, which is based on the hit Broadway musical. She told MTV: "I grew up listening to the soundtrack and hearing about that play. I wish I could have seen it in the flesh, but they're redoing it, and I'm so excited. For the first time, I feel that I'm going to be challenged."
