She was offered to spoof Brandy in Scary Movie. It's original script had a parody of "I Still What You Did Last Summer" She turned it down because she didn't want feel like she was disrespecting her.

This brought me here.
Aaliyah spoofing Brandy would've been a mess. I'm happy she denied the role.
Aaliyah's, "Are You That Somebody?" would've peaked at #5 on the Hot 100 at the very LEAST, had they included Airplay-only songs all along. It peaked at #17 because Hot 100 didn't allow Airplay only songs (you had to release them Physically) and when they finally took away the rule, AYTS? had peaked on Airplay already.
In this article on the Hot 100, the editor reveals AYTS? would've been #5 on Hot 100 that week if they used the secret upcoming new chart formula, which was allowing Airplay only songs.
Also had AYTS? been released Physically the chance for it to go #1, would've not been bad AT ALL.
Most of her singles were sadly, Airplay only - her biggest single "Try Again" was the first ever song to go #1 based only off Airplay and no sales.

Slay Aaliyah.
And they claim the KWEEN was irrelevant....
Aaliyah slaying the airplay scene with the gangsta lean
One of the very few times they did release a single Physically was, "The One I Gave My Heart To".
It was #48 on Airplay, and #8 on Sales the week it peaked #9 on Hot 100. That tells you how much she would've been slaying if they'd actually released singles while she had songs doing well on Airplay like AYTS? which peaked #4 on Airplay.
