Aretha Franklin Wants Halle Berry To Play Her!?
September 15, 2007 / Posted by: Michael K
Oh shit! Halle Berry as Aretha Franklin? Aretha as a fetus maybe! Anyway, Aretha is currently working on the television movie of her life and said she's interested in Halle playing her. Aretha also said Jennifer Hudson (PLEASE NO) and Fantasia might be into it. Billy Dee Williams and Terrence "Baby Wipes Only" Howard are most likely going to be in it. Shooting will begin as early as this Spring.
Halle Berry?!
Why Queen Aretha is getting a TV movie and not a feature film is beyond me. I need to see that woman on the big screen, so I can take it in all that BBWness.
Aretha also said she's losing some weight. She said, "A lot of weight. I won't say the number, but I found the magic numbers on the treadmill. Slowly but surely. It's all happy. "
HALLE BERRY?! Boo Berry yes, but HALLE BERRY?!
