December 27,2001-Movie News
Queen of the Damned which was pushed back from October 5,2001 to February 15,2002. Now after all is said and done and the movie is now ready for promotion, expect to see the movie in theatres on February 22,2002. This movie was rumored to go straight to video which Warner Bros. quickly denied any notion of doing so. Out of over 1300 participants in a poll, the movie took first in most anticipated for February 15th. Of course it's not coming out that day, but still an impressive posting.

Sparkle is speculated to be terminated. Developement of the film never started which would of been under Warner Brother's and Whitney Houston's "Brown Productions" that was also in charge of The Princess Diary's. Aaliyah was the only cast member casted, so the diva-filled movie is likely gone from te table.

December 24,2001-Time Magazine
The 10th best in music according to Tie Magazine is Aaliyah's third Blackground self-titled release, Aaliyah. Here's what the short description on page 82 had to say:

A siren of subtlety, never wailing when a whisper would do, she blended genres with alluring ease. For her, hip hop/soul and muted alternative rock came together as easily as lovers interlocking fingers. A plane crash claimed Aaliyah's life in August, but on her last CD her soul is forever in flight.

December 24,2001-Launch.com
If you are a member of the Launch/Yahoo network, make sure to go to their top 104 music video list and vote for Aaliyah's Rock The Boat that is currentl in the top twenty. Other videos of Aaliyah on the countdown include: More Than A Woman, We Need A Resolution, and Try Again which are available in Media Player format.

December 17,2001-More Than A Woman

December 17,2001-The Matrix Sequels
Aaliyah was listed in a magazine as being replaced by a New Zealand singer turned actress for her roles in the Matrix that could not support the second or third sequol roles.

December 17,2001-Album for the future
A few months ago, Rashad was on TRL and he did say that Aaliyah had a few videos and songs in her for future releases.

December 17,2001-Autograph Scams
Many of us know that people are trying to scam us by forging Aaliyah's signatures on printed pictures on Ebay.com. Though some may be real, other signature companies are providing more autographs than Aaliyah could of signed in 22 years. And some have visual photo proof but they use the same picture for a thousand different auctions. I'm sure that Aaliyah didn't spend hours signing autographs for a company at a movie premier.

December 17,2001-Losing Aaliyah
I don't know the legitimacy of this information, but many people recieved priate emails about the Losing Aalyah video/dvd. The person claimed to be a person who knew Aaliyah who didn't like the video. She said it was rather distasteful because it was not presented by Blackground(Aaliyah's People), mispronounced song names and couldn't say Aaliyah's name right.
