BEYONCÉ spent some time in a drug rehab facility last year – but not for an addiction of her own. The squeaky-clean singer wanted to research her role as drug-ravaged R&B legend Etta James in the upcoming movie, “Cadillac Records,” and spent lots of time talking to recovering addicts at Brooklyn’s Phoenix House. As a result of her experience, next week’s premieres of the film in New York and Los Angeles will benefit Phoenix House.
