A Lena Horne biopic has been in the works for years and as far back as 2004 singer Janet Jackson was slated to play the role until Lena apparently had her booted because of the Superbowl scandal. Not much was heard about the project after that but now Page 6 is reporting that Oprah Winfrey has taken control of the project and cast Alicia Keys in the lead role.

However, this one seems to spend quite a lot of time showcasing her stunning new look and figure. I know most people couldn’t help but talk about Broccoli Spears after the VMA’s, but it was Alicia’s new booty body that caught the eye of most of the people I know. Don’t act like you didn’t see those hips when Alicia’s silhouette first hit the screen (lol). Me thinks Alicia has hit the gym and intends to show more of her sexy and feminine side on this new CD.
