    Fans watched as Missy hobbled up the stage at the AMA's to accept her second annual award for Favorite Female Artist: Rap/Hip-Hop. What they didn't see is that backstage she was leaking plans for a new autobiographical movie.

    "I'm working on my own movie on my life, which probably a lot of people don't know."

    More eyebrows raised when she admitted that "It's a detailed [look at] Missy Elliott's life, 'cause I've been kinda like a character in the TV world as far as videos and stuff, so they really don't know my life story about my father being abusive, the rape [at age 8, by a 16-year-old cousin]. So y'all will see that soon."

    Due to her Achilles tendon injury, which she describes as the "worst pain ever", Missy has had plenty of free time to gather thoughts for the movie. Unlike her last film appearance "Pootie Tang", this should provide a more serious look into the life of the rapper.

    Missy has yet to decide if she will appear in the film or have someone else play her. Either way, the injury will have Missy literally "sittin' pretty until January.

    Twiddling her thumbs though, she is not. Missy is off to the Kora African Music Awards in South Africa, and in mid-December she'll return to Los Angeles to shoot her next video. She recently worked with Ashlee Simpson on the remix to "L.O.V.E.'. Also, look out for what recipe she will cook up next from The Cookbook album.

    Catch 'Teary Eyed', but don't cry because Missy is more outta control than ever.
