The people over at VH1 have announced their plan to produce a scripted biopic film based on the career & lives of popular “Waterfalls” girl group, TLC. Kate Lanier, who has written scrips for hit films like “What’s Love Got To Do With It,” “Beauty Shop,” and “Set It Off,” will be lending her penning skills to the project.

The three cops acquitted of killing Sean Bell were hit with disciplinary charges last week. Detectives Marc Cooper, Gescard Isnora and Michael Oliver were accused of firing their weapons outside of NYPD departmental guidelines – charges that could result in their termination from the force. Isnora was also charged with violating NYPD vice protocols by taking action as an undercover.
Al Sharpton, who is demanding that the Justice Department try the three cops for violating Bell’s civil rights, called the internal charges “a step in the right direction.”
“That’s good news,” Sean Bell’s father, William, added. “On a gloomy day like today, I need some good news.”
The three officers remain on modified duty, stripped of their guns and badges.

Rev. Al Sharpton and Nicole Paultre Bell (fiance of Sean Bell) were among approximately 200 people who were arrested Wednesday as demonstrators blocked traffic during New York’s evening rush hour to protest the acquittals of three detectives in the 50-bullet shooting of unarmed Bell on his wedding day.
Also arrested were Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield – two survivors from the shooting incident. CNN reported:
Police estimated that about 190 people were arrested, including Sharpton, two survivors of the shooting and the slain man’s fiancee. They lined up and put their hands behind their backs as police arrested them on disorderly conduct charges.
Sharpton, the two survivors and the fiancee were released about four hours later, said Sharpton spokeswoman Rachel Noerdlinger.
The demonstrators prayed, sang and chanted slogans including “no justice, no peace” as they converged on six heavily used bridges and tunnels that carry traffic to and from Manhattan. The protests were part of a coordinated campaign to urge federal authorities to investigate the shooting of Sean Bell in November 2006.
