Bobbi Kristina, Whitney Houston Biopic: Teen Wants to Portray Mom on Big Screen

Since her mom, Whitney Houston, died in February, Bobbi Kristina has grabbed headlines for her alleged drug use and controversial romantic dalliances. If the stories are true, her life bears striking similarities to her late mother's, which may be why she's angling to play Whitney on the big screen.

According to TMZ, Bobbi is telling pals that she's the perfect choice to portray her late mother in a movie about her life. The 19-year-old's assertion follows reports that Rihanna wants the role, should a biopic about the doomed R&B legend be produced.

Who would make a better Whitney: Bobbi or RiRi? If you were casting this flick, who would you pick? What would you call it?

That daughter is a piece of work......she looks like her Dad and as far as I have heard- did not inherit the Houston family musical talent in either. I feel bad for her however from everything I have read- she seems to be making really poor -unhealthy choices...as in- the adopted brother etc. Does provoke the question- DId her Mom know about the relationship????Not to mention she is angling /wrangling to be"The next Whitney Houston"...just on her name- not putting in the work....I seem to recall that she is even wanting to change her name for Krissy Houston...or so it has been reported...The whole concept of her portraying her Mother- to me anyway just seems really wrong and I would even go a step further- It is unseemly and is really very creepy ...just my opinion...Unfortunately she seems to have been raised with a sense of entitlement and her family really needs shut it down and not enable her- The best indicator of future behavior is previous behavior and that would be ashame....

I don't think Bobbi should play the role. theres something about it that doesn't seem like a good idea. - I think RiRi or the other giril ( forgot her name) that Whitney actually hand piced her. She looks so much like her and could bring out Whitney's charm!!

Bahh...this is ridiculous. Who cares, she was crazy. Too many drugs, she did a lot to herself. Check out my website for some other music-related news, http://bit.ly/HZrWcC

Neither one can play that role. Bobbi is looking to a spot in acting with no experience at all. Riri can sing but is not an actor. Jennifer Hudson should play Whitney.

it sounds like bobbi kristina is still trying to ride on her mom coat tails for the money only. just because rhinna sings it doesn't make her a good actress, if they are serious about doing a great movie with someone who can give the role class and character, give the role to Halle Berry, she's a great actress and she can always lipsync. Now thats a movie.
