Keyshia Chante Set to Play Aaliyah in Bio Pic

I guess this biopic craze is no where near ready to stop. Aaliyah will hit the big screen again; and promises to be as honest and straight forward as possible.

It has been announced that Warner Brothers Films, has green lit a movie based on singer/actress Aaliyah's life, career and untimely death in 2001. Bill Condon, who will direct the film, and producers of Dreamgirls, have apparently been working hard with Canadian born singer, Keyshia Chante, to kill this role. Other familiars in her life such as choreographer Fatmia Robinson, Missy Elliot and Hype Williams, etc., will be there to fill in the blanks. I hear the film will even discuss her marriage to that perve R. Kelly. Press release below!

I first heard about this book over at Bossip.com and I really believe that finally people will listen to what I have been saying all along: Hollywood is Gay. Maybe not everybody, but surely a lot of people are swinging and involved in down low relationships. In a new book, by Terrance Dean everyone from Mariah Carey to Diddy seem like they can fit the bill.

I tried my best to identify the artists, from the excerpts below, feel free to leave your thoughts! His Interview is [HERE]. These are some exclusive passages.

Mariah or Not?

A few times, I spotted "Asia," a 1990s female R&B singer who had an amazing voice and a number of widely successful ballads during that time. She started as a background singer, but her powerful voice proved she needed to be up front as a solo artist. Her short body was topped with her huge, curly hair. Asia made a number of love songs, and her claim to fame was her rendition of a sexy remake of a song originally done by an '80s icon."

We all know that Mariah's claim to fame was that she was discovered while singing back-up for Brenda K. Starr. She spiced up the genre of R&B when she brought back ballads, at a time when uptempo pop tracks ruled. She is commonly referred to as 'The Voice' and one of her biggest hits early on, was a re-make of the Michael Jackson & The J5's "I'll Be There" with Trey Lorenz. Who was one of the biggest '80's icons: Michael Jackson. And plus, she is great pals with Da Brat and Missy Elliot; need I sat more!

Ashanti, I as I reported way back is slated to release her album, "The Declaration" on June 3rd, 2008; just a few weeks shy of her questionable boyfriend Nelly (June 28th). These are some hot off the press promo shots of the the R&B diva who will go head to head with Ciara no doubt, after her title of the "Princess of R&B" (which she got after Aaliyah's death) was given to Cici in Ashanti's absence.
