Aaliyah

Aaliyah,Family Vows To Torpedo Biopic,Aaliyah's family is on the attack against "Lifetime" ... vowing to stop production on her biopic.

Lifetime plans to start filming this summer .... chronicling the R&B singer's life and tragic death. 17-year-old Disney actress Zendaya has been cast as Aaliyah -- who died in 2001 in a plane crash.

Aaliyah's uncle and former manager, Barry Hankerson, tells us the family is pissed that no one from the network contacted them about the movie.

Aaliyah.

Hankerson says the family will block any attempt on Lifetime's part to use any of Aaliyah's music.  He says the family has hired a lawyer and will do everything they can to block release of the flick.

The family is not opposed to a big, theatrical film, but thinks a TV movie is too small for someone as big as Aaliyah.  We called Lifetime ... so far no response.

Scott Disick

Scott Disick,BOMBS,In 'Lifestyles' Audition,Scott Disick was only slightly better than Kendall Jenner when it came to reading a teleprompter ... for his big audition to host the new "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous."
Celebrity got hold of the audition tape -- shot last year -- for the panned Style Network show.  It's painful to watch his deer-in-the-headlights read.  At one point his pitch gets so high you can almost hear the fine china break in the dining room hutch.

Suffice it to say ... Scott didn't get the gig.  It went to Nick Cannon.  Problem is ... the Style Network went under ... and the show mercifully never saw the light of air.

Halle Berry's

Malia Obama. Fetched Coffee for Halle's Crew,Welcome to Hollywood, Even for President Obama's daughter ... breaking into Hollywood comes down to 3 words: cream or sugar?

Sources on the set of Halle Berry's new TV show "Extant" ... tell 15-year-old Malia Obama got very little special treatment during her week-long stint as a production assistant.

We're told Malia spent most of her day going on runs for coffee and drinks for the cast ... like every other no-name peon. She also helped the crew by blocking people from walking through scenes during shooting.

Of course, MO did get something not even Halle got -- Secret Service protection. We're told a few agents were always on set, but they gave her space.

Best of all, we're told one person innocently chatted up Malia one day about sports -- just to be friendly -- but never realized who she was.

Kinda cool that she never blew her cover.

Hank Williams III

Hank Williams III,Blasts Hank Sr. Movie,Only An AMERICAN Can Play My Granddaddy
The grandson of honky tonk legend Hank Williams says his family's blood runs red, white and blue ... and that's why only a true American should ever play Hank in a movie.

Hank Williams III tells. producers cookin' up a Hank biopic blew it when they cast British actor Tom Hiddleston to play the legendary country crooner. Hiddleston's best known for his role as Loki in "The Avengers."

Your Cheatin' Heart" and "Hey Good Lookin'

 Hank Sr. -- known for hits like "Your Cheatin' Heart" and "Hey Good Lookin' -- died Jan. 1, 1953 at age 29 ... after years of abusing booze and Rx drugs.

Hank3 says producers should have cast Matthew McConaughey as Hank because Matt represents the South both in movies and real life.  Hank3 singles out 'The Dallas Buyers Club' to prove Matt has the acting chops to get the job done well.

Meek Mill ruined the career -- and maybe the sex life -- of a former Philly cop who now wants the rapper to pay dearly.
As TMZ first reported, Mill was arrested in 2012 for allegedly having weed on him, but when cops came up with zilch he sued the city of Philadelphia. Meek lost the case, but one of the involved officers claims he lost a lot too.
