Fantasia may not be portraying Mahalia Jackson after all



Fantasia may lose 'Mahalia' movie Role
Fantasia Barrino's personal life could cost her a job playing Mahalia Jackson in the gospel singer's biopic.
There's word that the estate of Mahalia Jackson is not happy with Fantasia because she's gotten pregnant by a married man, Antwaun Cook.
“The family thinks if Fantasia plays the role, it’s going to sully the name of Mahalia,” executive producer Adrian Taylor told the New York Post. “They think she’s got the wrong image, having a child out of wedlock.”

Reportedly, producers for Mahalia! also have a bone to pick with Fannie, as she neglected to inform them of her pregnancy until she was four months along.

“She [initially] claimed that she was putting on weight for the role,” 
a source close to the film said. When speculation of Fantasia's pregnancy first arose, the singer's camp denied the rumors by saying she was packing on pounds for the film. Now it seems the studio was fed the same line.
WHAT A DUMMY!
