The big-screen remake of the 1976 film Sparkle just got a bit, more sparkly. Cee Lo Green has joined the cast, which includes American Idol winner Jordin Sparks in the title role of an aspiring music star, and Whitney Houston as her mother while actors Mike Epps amd Derek Luke round out the cast.
Meanwhile, R&B superstar R. Kelly has agreed to write original music for the Sparkle soundtrack. The film is set to begin shooting next month.
