NEW YORK (AP) — Recording artist Zendaya will portray Aaliyah in a Lifetime film about the R&B sensation who died in a plane crash at the height of her stardom.

The biopic will be filmed this summer and is scheduled to air this fall, the network announced Monday.

It will trace a career that began with Aaliyah's debut on "Star Search" at age 10. In August 2001 her life was cut short when her plane crashed after takeoff from a Bahamian runway. She was just 22.

Zendaya will record four of Aaliyah's songs for the film. She recently released her debut album and its first single, "Replay," has sold 1.1 million copies. She starred on the Disney Channel series "Shake It Up!" and was a runner-up on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars."

What happened to keisha chante? She was geared to have the role for years. Well guess ever since she started hosting 106 she's not as believable as Aaliyah

Same reason Will/Jada had to 'fire' Willow from the lead in "Annie" - she's too old now. Aaliyah's story ranges from teens to 22, Keisha is now closer to age 30 than age 22.

Ne either she's black and just as talented.

 

[Bluelaser]

Zendaya is mixed or mullato.
Her mom is white and her dad is black.
So the bottom line is that she's Black

 

[ThaBurgerPimp]

just wondering who they going to cast as R.Kelly.. unless he lobbying to play as himself

it's not going to take a lot of talent to play Aaliyah....

 

[Brother Blaque]

Good to know she's Black

Disney has a reputation of racist acts against Black people as evidenced by....no Black People in those Tarzan cartoons....the CAc is in Africa and no Black people.
Also...that Black princess movie...she was Black but no Black male prince?
Song of the South...happy slaves singing, dancing and shit.

Fuck Disney up they ass. ​

How does that work.

Black people always trying to claim these half breeds. The girl is as much white as she is black. Fuck the one-drop rule

BTW, the casting seems fine.

True. They can't even TRY to write R. Kelly out of her biography. He put her on. First time I even heard Aaliyah was a snippet of her 1st single at the end of an R. Kelly single cassette that I bought.

They gonna act like that ain't Kellz lurking in the background?

 

[freshnclean]

she is just as white as she is black. facts not fiction

 

[MistaPhantastic]

I could see if they were casting her to play Cassie in a movie.
She don't look shit like Aalyiah.

At the same time black folk get mad if they say they aint black.

 

[ThaBurgerPimp]

wonder will they actually depict the plane crash,or will they just do a scene where she is about to get on the plane,then stops to wave and there a freeze-frame..next scene someone's saying to turn on the news,and they show everyone's reaction to the report that Aaliyah died in the crash

 

[SLY]

Mean while, gotta half breed in his avatar.

yeah, cos she gets my dick hard.

try again

 

[Money Machine]

Lol, those are the same courts that said a black man is 3/5's human, and you want to quote them? Half breed? lol. yall niggas is lost. mixed people are the most discriminated people on the planet.

 

[Rocky Miavia]

Who's gonna play DMX?

 

[veritech]
