From Rihanna to Jennifer Hudson--Who Should Play Whitney Houston in a Rumored Bio-Pic?
I personally think she could nail this part. In the past year there were even rumors that Rihanna would star in a remake of Whitney's classic flick The Bodyguard—but Rihanna shot those rumors down because she claimed to hate when singers only do singing movies. A Whitney bio-pic, however, is way different than a remake and I think if Rihanna really committed to hitting Whitney's infamous high notes that she could pull it off.

Not only does Brandy look to Whitney as one of her greatest inspirations but also they worked together. Back in 1997, Brandy co-starred with Whitney in a version of Cinderella, where in my opinion, Brandy really did look and acted like a young Whitney. But, I love that just a few weeks before Whitney died, Brandy even said that she wanted the role because "no one can play Whitney like me."
