Rihanna to Play Whitney Houston in Upcoming Film?

posted in: Music News

Following the tragic death of pop icon Whitney Houston earlier this month, many sources are reporting that producer Clive Davis is now pushing for a movie about the singer’s life. Who is set to play the role if Whitney herself? Why, none other than Rihanna, who has been the subject of many a scandal these past few weeks. Other stars on the short list for the role are Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks, and Brandy. Ironically, Rihanna previously rejected an offer to play Houston in the remake of the film The Bodyguard, and has also said she would rather challenge herself with an unfamiliar movie role instead of playing another performer.
