Rihanna Has made It To The Casting Couch!

It was inevitable, so pick up your lip, don't be surprised! Let's jsut hope that Rih-Rih is a better actress than her arch-nemesis (just kidding!) Beyonce. Rihanna is set to star in a new film adaptation of Iceberg Slim's book, Mama Black Widow (according to IMDB.com). The details are as follows:

"Mama Black Widow is the portrait of a black family's migration from the southern Mississippi fields of the segregated south to the ghettoized black underworld of Chicago during the 1930's. The story follows Otis Tilson's struggle to keep his family together as they navigate through a world of alcoholism, pimping, sexual deviation and racial degradation. Told in the gut level language of the original novel by Iceberg Slim, the family's journey is a harsh testament of lives lived on the margins of a racist and predatory world."

The cast also includes: Mos Def, Kerry Washington, Macy Gray, Anthony Anderson, and Brian J. White. It sounds interesting, dramatic and cool. The cast is great! I love Mos and Kerry. I wouldn't be surprised if Jiggaman had something to do with her getting the gig-- he always compared himself to Iceberg Slim-- it's just so fitting! Look out for the movie coming soon....
