LOS ANGELES: The inspiring story of "American Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino is being put on film for the Lifetime cable network.The singer is expected to play herself in the story of how she overcame sexual abuse, poverty and illiteracy to win the Fox TV talent competition's third season, create a double platinum album and grab four 2006 Grammy nominations, The New York Post reported Thursday.
Barrino released a memoir last year called "Life is Not a Fairy Tale" and revealed she was functionally illiterate and working with tutors to improve her skills.
You can bet money that I won't be watching it!
Are you going to do a live thread? Bwaaahaaahaaaaa!!!
I should add all of the pathologies so "charmingly" celebrated by rap/hip-hop thugs, and by modern R&B performers like Fantasia -- and funded/promoted by mostly white limousine Leftist powers in the entertainment industry.
If Fantasia had really wanted to be inspiring, she would have put out one or more songs warning young girls to avoid the mistakes she made. Instead she puts out 'Baby Mama'. She's disgusting.
Is this why Paula has been so giddy lately?
Paula Abdul Has a New Man
She was spotted at a recent West Hollywood function with actor Tony Schiena.

American Idol judge Paula Abdul has bounced back on the dating scene a month after tearfully admitting to Dr. Phil McGraw on a TV special that she has trouble finding true love.
The singer was spotted at a West Hollywood boutique opening on Tuesday night hand-in-hand with handsome actor Tony Schiena.
The pair pulled up in a Jaguar and slipped inside for the opening of Australian designer Leona Edmiston's store, where they sipped pomegranate martinis and held hands.
According to sources at the party, at one point the actor stood behind the petite star and wrapped his arm around her.
Schiena, who is from South Africa, was a black belt world karate champ before turning to acting. He has appeared in CSI:NY and also had a small role in 2004's 'The Merchant of Venice.'
Abdul's representative says the two are "just friends," while Schiena's representative says her client's "friendship" with Abdul started a year ago, when they met socially.
