Rihanna wants to play Whitney Houston (Oh, the irony)
Struggling singer, and substance abuser, Rihanna is being considered to play the part of Whitney Houston in a biopic produced by The Press Association.
According to theLifeFiles blog, “other actresses being considered for the part include Vivica A. Fox, Jennifer Hudson, Meagan Goode, Jordin Sparks and Brandy.”
But 24-year-old Rihanna is at the top of the list of stars who are competing for the plum role.
“That would be something that I would have to give my entire life to do because I would want to really pull it off,” Rihanna told The Press Association. “That’s a huge, huge role and whoever does it has to do a good job.”
We have no doubt that Rihanna would do an excellent job drawing from her experiences as a somewhat talented singer whose once promising career was derailed by her dependency on drugs and alcohol.
“My first song that I remember falling in love with was a Whitney Houston song — ‘I Will Always Love You,’” Rihanna said. “It was really inspiring and it made me develop a passion for music, so really she’s partly responsible for me being here in this industry.”
The only thing the producers have to worry about is Rihanna dying before the movie wraps.

Damn Sandra you went hard on this one
I said this when Whitney passed
RiRi is cute but the comment i had to say got sidetracked by the Cartoon character that is nicki m, so young money bought out space to promote that crappy album?
Wow sandra that was really harsh!!!! You use to be in love with her!!! So i thought anyway lol.
Can’t y’all see Riri saying “kiss my ass!” with a joint in her hand. In real life I may add
I thought Anika Noni Rose would have done well playing Whitney.
YOU CAN DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT BOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Puhleeze
I keep dozing off at my desk.
BISH PLEASE
Riri is a horrible actress,.. I would rather see Monica playing whitney
I don’t think she’s ready to do Whitney I don’t think she can act or sing!
GETCHO LIFEEEEEEEEEEE! *throws a camel*
her voice <<<<<<<< whitney's voice
Brandy looks nothing like whitney, I say Monica of Brandy all day, because i think ray j should play bobby brown i mean the family hates ray and bobby why not
She has too much face powder on.
THAT’S ALL I’LL SAY ‘BOUT THAT!
i do like the black hair
@TATTED_DIVA is my skrimp parm ready?
too bad Angela Bassett is too old to play her
I
her
Ion think she’ll be able to kill that accent enough…
viv is too old to be playing whitney
I still think Paula Patton needs this role….she would nail it and she looks kind of like a light-skinned Whit…
So nobody else thinks Anika Noni Rose would play the hail out of Whitney?
@ Frenchie Silk PIE – yesssss I had it ready hours ago, memba???
I think they should use a powerhouse voice but (relatively) unknown actress. That way it wont take away from the movie….
I like Anika Noni Rose I saw her in the all black production of cat on a hot tin roof.
Damn she is sexy…
I would sooooo beat that into submission.
sorry meant to say she is short!
Megan Goode would play the shyt out of this role and get Oscar in the process. Riri needs to stick to twit beefin and sangin burfdae cake songs
NO.
They better not ruin my girl Whitney biopic film like this
Angela Bassett=Dionne Warwick
Vivica Fox=Sissy Houston
I heard Paula Patton has admitted to having a drug problem! She seemed really amped in Jump the Broom
I Go There says:

Hey Choco. Did you move into your house, yet?
Somehow movie premieres with hot young actors does not scream “derailed career” to me. Am I missing something?
@ Igo
Bobby Brown
Why don’t they get a no name actor, and she lip sings the songs like they did Tina, Rhianna can go somewhere and get high or some ish

Oh and really
there is this YT guy here that I find kinda sexy. We ate lunch together today!
of the 5 black actresses that get roles i can’t see any of them playing her, they should do a casting call, maybe they’ll find some awesome talent
@Fe Fe
Thats just how Id be on her.
@ Choco-
Hershey
Thats the only person I would have Vivica play.
she would be a great Bobby Brown

Keke Palmer is the only person who should play Whitney, anybody else would not be believable
Hell if Beyonce’s name is being thrown in, let Ciara or Olivia do it

Um I think her hair is beautiful but her natural hair does not match that weave
But atleast its black, That what I like about having jet black hair 
They should just shelf this project until they can get it together!Project is temporarily
@yall
Whitney’s probably thinking “Uhh, hell to the naw”
I hate Igo and Yso and Hershey for her gravi. That is all.
Angela Basset is the most overrated actress alive. She played her azz off in two movies dayum near 20 years ago and STILL getting props.
In terms of Whitney’s life should could play…
H-town I
you and so does my gravi’s stomachS

Hershey’s gravi is so so wrong
If the muffin top is when the belly overlaps the waistline, what is it called when the azz looks like that 
@HTOWN
Whatido?
@Hershey
Is that a tramp stamp too?
Ignoring Yso as soon as I tell her the last of this juicy
@JMO
I bet she has a yeast farm down there.
It looks like a can of Pillsbury biscuits that burst!
