On Monday Aretha Franklin Biopic Going Forward was a top story. Here is the recap: (The Blues) Aretha Franklin's biopic is set to finally go ahead after producers agreed to give her full creative control. The project has been in development for at least five years, with Straight Outta Compton producer Scott Bernstein at the helm.

She tells People: "I've talked to the person that's going to play me. I'm not going to say who I chose, but I've talked to her. She's ready and I'm happy with her." Read more - here.
