Alexandra Shipp will star in "Aaliyah: Princes of R&B" Movie! | Wendy Williams produced Biopic! 2014 Film Debut!

There has been a load of controversy surrounding the upcoming Aaliyah biopic. Keisha Chante, the co-host of BET's 106 and Park was said to be starring in the film at one point. Then, the world was informed that Disney star, pop singer, actress and dancer, Zendaya Coleman, was cast as the leading role, and fans were in an uproar! The fans were very vocal when expressing their disdain for Zendaya getting the part for a number of reasons!

Including her ethnicity, claiming that she may not be talented enough for the part, and stating the fact that she looks nothing like Aaliyah! The naysayers participated in online protests and signed petitions to not only get her removed from the role, but to get Actress, Film Director and Aaliyah look a like, Lolita Price the gig starring as Aaliyah! And some fans and family members of Aaliyah wanted the movie to disappear altogether!

All of this controversy caused the film to come to a standstill and thankfully production is back on!

Despite the major backlash and protests from the fans, an actress has been chosen for the role! And Wendy Williams was hired as the Executive producer, along with Debra Martin Chase, who will act as the co executive producer. The film will air on the Lifetime Network in the fall of 2014. And the leading lady for the project is Alexandra Shipp! Now, I still wish that Lolita Price could have played the role. However, I am okay with this choice, because, worst case scenario would have been if the rumor about Rhianna playing the role came true!

Thank Goddess that didn't happen!

Anyway. Here's a few things that you need to know about Alexandra, that should shed some light on how she was chosen for the role! She plays guitar, piano, sings and writes her own songs. So, she is musically inclined! And her acting credits, according to her IMDB page, include movies such as, Drumline 2: a New Beat, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squekquel, to TV shows like Victorious, Switched at Birth, Awkward, Ray Donovan, and Your Family or Mine!

Now with all of that said, this Alexandra chick also starred in a TV show titled "House of Anubis"!
And Anubis is the God of the Dead from Kemet, so called "Egypt"! And I'm not saying that there's an ILLUMINATI connection that got her the role. But you never know nowadays!

Anyways!

All I know is that every woman that was rumored, or reported to play Aaliyah in the movie was fine!
Except Rhianna, she's alright!


So are you happy with the final decision for the film? Will Alexandra ruin the movie? Does Wendy , the Gossip queen Williams producing the movie offend, shock or disturb you? Should they just quit the darn thing right now?
