    Aliciakeysfan you must be the most ignorant person ever. Are you a teen or what? I'm sorry, but were you there? Your views are quite twisted hon but just wait, when you grow up things will change. By the way, you might want to learn how to spell before you start trying to trash talk.

    LMAO roll eyes LMAO This girl need sot pack it up. She couldn't do a remake justice. Any remake....even an original would be shameful. We do not need a role model for our young girls like her. Getting the crap beat out of you and then taking him back....whatever. Dump him, be independant and move on. That is the only way to save your career now. there will be other men

    Rhianna should go to hell, I won't watch anything she does. she beat up on Chris, then cry victim. But now she has to tell a judge that she HIT Chris first after snatching his cell phone from his lap while driving, he should have pressed charges on her violant ass!

    She can't sing and she can't act. What she is good at is getting her ass kicked. She should take care of that first.

    Who would remake "The Bodyguard"? That movie shouldn't have been made in the beginning!

    I hope they separate it from the last one, because I like Rihanna but she is no Whitney. A whole new type of Bodyguard would be fitting for Rhi Rhi.
