Keshia Chante to play Aaliyah in Upcoming movie!!

Shortly after the movie premiere of the late B.I.G's life story entitled "NOTORIOUS", sources are talking about the upcoming movie about the late r&b singer Aaliyah, due to drop sometime in 2010. R&B singer Keshia Shante is set to be the actress playing her role. you can see the huge resemblance in the pic below...

the movie is set to get real personal with Aaliyah's life

"It has been reported that Warner Brother Films will be creating the motion picture of the late singer and actress Aaliyah who died in a plane crash in 2001. Aaliyah sold more than 32 million albums worldwide before her career was cut short. The film will be a biopic of the singers life. Bill Condon, director of “DreamGirls” will be directing the film.

We are going to great extremities to make this movie perfect. We have Chante in extensive training studying, speaking with family members, watching personal footage and in choreography training with Aaliyah’s choreographer and dear friend Fatima Robinson. This movie will be seamless the same way it was for Selena fans who enjoyed Jennifer Lopez. I can promise Aaliyah fans that this movie will be ten notches higher.”

A source for the film reveals that they “will be going very deep into Aaliyah’s life” and will allow fans to see the “most intimate side of Aaliyah’s legacy.” Sources say the script for the film ‘holds no bars’ and will go as far as touching on the subject of Aaliyah’s highly debated and publicized marriage and annulment to producer R.Kelly.

It has also been confirmed Aaliyah’s colleagues will be featured in the film. Her choreographer Fatima Robinson, Producer and friends, Timbaland, Missy Elliot, Ginuwine, even world renowed music video director Hype Williams will be apart of the film and help re-create the “Rock The Boat” video set which was the last video Aaliyah ever shot. The movie is tentative to start production end of March and is rumored to have a production budget of over 80 million dollars."

BODY SUITS! LADY GAGA, KAT DELUNA & MORE

so about 3 months ago, i thought i should retire all of my body suits,after wearing mainly that for about 2 years now. i felt it was sort of like my signature for a while. BODY SUIT = 1st Lady, I later on grew kinda tired of them. but then after seeing several videos and pictures of celebrities rocking them, i thought " Hey its impacted many stylist & people to do the same, so why not bring it back and claim what, i had originally been wearing since 07"..

check out these hot new videos & pixx of these body suit wearing divas!..& shoutouts to the Dominican Princess herself Kat Deluna, (Def gotta hit u up again about that track =) )

GREAT WAY TO START OFF 09' !!

Not only is it great that we have our first African American President,(woot!! OBAMA lol) but it was a great feeling starting off the new years in L.A, on stage in front of 30,000 people, alongside our homie Junior Sanchez. Shortly after that it was also a blessing to arrive back in NY and see our music video "NEW ERA" being played as the new joint of the day on 106 and Park..

We arrived in LAX on the morning of DEC 31, I was super excited to get away from the cold weather in NY (felt like it was below 9 out here lol)...

As we arrived at the Sports center arena, we were directly escorted to our little v.i.p tent behind the stage. the walk to the stage was crazy as we walked around a crowd of 30,000 party goers, which at the time were mostly drunk already lol.

we then began having our own little party inside our cabana, and taking some flixx, as we waited for our turn to rip the stage..

Aahmek Richards And RKZ

Rocky & I

It was CRAZY!! you could see the crowd of people for blocks away, this was our biggest crowd yet, and we loved it, i was a bit nervous at first, but as soon as i hit the stage it all went away. When the crowd started singing along to our "YOUR TO COOL" track (produced by Junior Sanchez) i knew at that moment that we had acccomplished one of our many long awaited goals! the crowd loved us, and we loved them back just as much for that...

heres a small clip of a portion of the performance

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: MEET SQUARE OFF !

Hey there fellow bloggers! right now i have the pleasure of introducing you guys to 1 of the hottest hip hop trios coming out of Harlem New York & they go by the name of " SQUARE OFF". If you didn't know about them, well now you know! Sons of hip hop pioneer Doug E. Fresh, this group consists of Slim(left), Gleamz (center),& Trips (was sup punk!)

Check out their myspace page at myspace.com/squareoff
and some of their music inside of the post!
their edgy rhythmic tunes are sure to brighten up your mood at any time of the day..

BIO
This teenage rap group has opened shows for Lil Scrappy, Romeo and Doug E. Fresh. They have performed twice at the Apollo, Tom Joyner's Events at Walt Disney World,several times at Mount Vernon Week and Harlem Week. Square Off has been featured in XXL (Lil Wayne Cover) and the premiere issue of Hy Grade Magazine.

The first single “WE RIDIN” is a hot record produced by DJ CMS and features KRAYZIE BONE on the track it has a down south feel while still staying true to their New York style. "It’s a track that can be played anywhere and everyone will feel it”, states group member Gleamz. Plans for the future include starting their own record label, creating a clothing line and establishing a foundation for a non-profit school of music where future generations can go to learn aspects of the industry including writing, engineering, producing, etc.

Being the sons (Trips and Slim) and the brother-in-law (Gleamz) of the World's Greatest Entertainer and originator of the human beat box, these young men have a lot to live up to and undoubtedly expectations run high. A few things are certain... you can expect them to work hard to earn their place amongst the hip-hop heavyweights, you can expect them to uphold the high musical and performance standards set by Doug E. Fresh, and you can expect to be hearing a lot more from Square Off in the near future and for many years to come.
