Bobbi Kristina’s got competition from Rihanna

According to reports, Whitney’s daughter Bobbi Kristina is keen to portray her mother – who tragically died in the film biopic, which is currently being discussed by a number of studios.  The biopic will depict Whitney’s rise to superstardom in the 80s then her descent into drug abuse in the 90s when married to singer Bobby Brown, Bobbi’s father.

A source said: ‘Bobbi feels like she is the perfect person to play the part of Whitney telling friends that no one knew her better.’

Rihanna and Jennifer Hudson are also apparently considering the role. Of the possibility of landing the part, Rihanna said recently: ‘That would be something I would have to give my entire life to do, because I would really want to pull it off. Whoever does it has to do a good job.’
