Beyonce Move over Tyler Perry, Beyonce has her eyes set on Hollywood, even if she's not starring in the film.

Speaking on the heels of receiving Billboard's Woman of the Year award, Beyonce expressed interest in filming documentaries.

"I also want to continue to produce films -- even if I'm not in them -- as well as a documentary on my life," says the "Obsessed" actress, who aided in production (executive producer) of the 2009 flick starring Idris Elba and Ali Carter.

While the prospect of doing such work may be a few years away, according to Beyonce, one documentary subject she definitely has her eyes set on is none other than her father, Mathew Knowles.

"I'd like to do a film loosely based on my father's (Mathew Knowles) childhood and school years. He's had an interesting life. But that will probably be in a couple of years."

For now, Beyonce will continue to tour in support of the 2008 album "I Am... Sasha Fierce" with no specific plans to record a follow up. In fact, the diva is set to tour through March of next year while reading scripts in hopes of claiming an Oscar (Academy Award).

As previously reported, Beyonce was honored at Billboard's annual Women In Music brunch Friday. Created to celebrate the accomplishments of women in entertainment, Women in Music also crowned MTV Video Music Award winner Lady Gaga a 'rising star'.

Past honorees include Ciara and Deborah Harry.

    Bey, give it up! You did not win, JHud did because she is a better actor and also it was in GOD plan. You can plan your steps but give GOD will finish them. Stop wanting everything and appreciate what you have, Brat. Work on your acting first and them maybe you will get an Oscar. YOU CAN NOT ACT! That is not your calling. You are a half ass singer with great stage performance, with your clothes off.

    I am a fan of Beyonce!..But, there are areas she needs to work on and both go hand-in hand and they are her acting and her interviews! For years, Matthew had her so focused on the performance aspect of her career, in that her grammar, her vernacular pronunciation and vocabulary did not receive nearly as much attention! Kelly Rowland and Letoya have the same charastictics, but Michelle doesn't! Beyonce herself often admits to being horrible at acceptance speeches and interviews and it shows! Even in her songwriting for a woman in her mid 20's, is very simple for the majority of her hits! So while, she now has her eyes on producing, I'm hoping that she takes some screenwriting/journalism classes and or let someone else write, because she is one of the best live singers and entertainers, but she needs to put just as much time into perfecting her overall speaking and her acting as she does rehearsing for her videos and her tours!

    Beyonce really needs to stop it with her Oscar begging and desperation.

    I hope she produces an elegant porn. It could star Jay-Z, Beyonce and myself. Give it to mama!
