The worldwide search for an actress to play the role of the late and legendary Aaliyah is over.

Her name is Keshia Chante and I guess it helps that she slightly resembles Aaliyah and she’s a so so R&B singer.

She’s not drop dead gorgeous like Aaliyah was though.

Aaliyah was truly a one-of-a-kind superstar and can never be replaced. Keshia will play Aaliyah in a movie about the singer’s life, career and untimely death. The movie is slated for release in 2009. (Source)
