Rihanna Shuts Down Rumors She's Playing Whitney Houston In Biopic

Rihanna Shuts Down Rumors She's Playing Whitney Houston In Biopic
5/20/2012 8:30 AM ET

Rihanna has shot down rumors that she will portray Whitney Houston in a biopic of her life.

Though it was reported this past February that the pop songstress was to play Houston in a Hollywood flick, a representative for the late singer subsequently said there was "no truth" to the reports.

"[It was] just rumors," Ri-Ri told MTV News. "I never heard anything about that."

Though she shot down the rumors of portraying Houston on the big screen, Rihanna went onto to gush about Houston and her music, adding that "I Will Always Love You" is her favorite song of all time.

"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."
