Like many singers who have gone before her, Rihanna has decided that music isn't enough for her career...she needs to be a big movie star too. People are speculating that she'll be playing a part in Mama Black Widow, co-starring Kerry Washington, Mos Def and Macy Gray.

Set in the 1930's, the movie directed by Darren Grant will be centering its story on the migration of a black family from the segregated southern Mississippi to the Chicago's degrading black community. The story resolves around Otis Tilson as he fights to keep his family together in spite of alcoholism, pimping, sexual deviation and racial degradation circulating around them.

It sounds interesting and possibly controversial. Might not be a bad idea for Rihanna to make her acting debut in a movie that could generate some buzz.
