Beyoncé will be returning to big screen comedy for the first time since she co-starred alongside Mike Myers in the third (and so far) last Austin Powers film. Loop21 reports that the pop star and new mom is joining her pal Gwenyth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz in One Hit Wonders:

Looks like Beyonce is about to wrap up her maternity leave. Deadline reports that the new mommy has signed on to star in the upcoming musical comedy “One Hit Wonders.”
