Keke Palmer
has been cast as Chilli
from TLC, for the upcoming
biopic on the superstar 90’s
R&B group. Here’s what she had
to say to the stans/haters who say
she “doesn’t even look like Chilli…”:
“People kill me, I don’t remember Angela
Bassett looking ANYTHING like Tina Turner.
And she RIPPED that role…People need to
realize that movies aren’t casted by people
looking like who they’re playing. They’re
casted by who can do the role…”
