There's good news and bad news for the actors and behind-the-scenes folks of LIFETIME's "Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B. The bad news: Most people think the film sucked. The good news: the film averaged 3.2 million viewers during it's Saturday night premiere, making it the No. 2 cable telepic of 2014, behind Lifetime's Flowers in the Attic.
Going beyond the small screen, the film was also a social media hit garnering 997,000 tweets and a unique audience of 3.4 million. SIDEBAR: A tweet is a tweet, even if it's tone isn't positive or favorable. So...you can see why producer Wendy Williams was UNBOTHERED!
