Beyoncé may have a new job soon. The L.A. Times is reporting that the pop star has been shopping around some documentary footage following her life and career. With a celebrity as private as Beyoncé Knowles, it's a little surprising she'd be interested in working on a documentary about her life, so it makes sense that Knowles wants to direct the project. Her resume already includes singer, dancer, fashion mogul and actress, why not add documentary director to the mix?

Twentieth Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios have released the first trailer for the animated fantasy Epic (formerly Leaf Men) online. While the movie isn't due in theaters until next year, the studios behind Rio and the Ice Age likely want to spread awareness of their upcoming project before their latest, Ice Age: Continental Drift hits theaters in July.
Very loosely based on the children's book The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs by William Joyce (who co-wrote the upcoming Rise of the Guardians), Epic is a labor of love for director Chris Wedge (Ice Age), who's been working on the movie for years.
The voice cast, includes Beyonce Knowles, Amanda Seyfried, Josh Hutcherson, Colin Farrell, Johnny Knoxville and Aziz Ansari, and was only announced last month. With voice-work probably still being worked out the trailer is filled almost entirely — appropriately and ominously — with the song "The Lightning Strike" from the band Snow Patrol.

Lauer, who has been on Today since 1994, could become the longest-serving host of the 60-year-old show. “Truth be told, I was developing an idea for a new show, where viewers could tune in every morning and see someone they know lose a little more of his hair every single day right in front of their eyes,” Lauer said on Friday. “I thought, ‘I don’t have to do that, I could just stay here and do that! ... This is my family. I love this job. I love working with you guys and all the people behind the scenes. I’m excited.
