Cissy Houston is said to be dead set against Rihanna starring as her daughter if the Whitney Houston story ever makes it to the big screen...
From The National Enquirer
"Over my dead body!" declared the 78-year-old, according to a source. "Cissy believes Rihanna celebrates everything she hated about Whitney's life -- the drugging, the boxing, the abusive relationship."
"Cissy does not think Whitney should be represented by someone like Rihanna," the source continued. "In spite of what anyone thought about Whitney, she sees her as a God-fearing Christian who loved the Lord."
Cissy is also dead-set against a movie being made about Whitney without family involvement because she fears outsiders would focus too much on the negative aspects of her daughter's troubled life. Cissy said IF there is a movie made about Whitney, she would insist on approving the actress," added the source. "And Rihanna certainly would NOT be on the list."

I'm sure Cissy Houston will want Beyonce starring as her daughter if the Whitney Houston story ever makes it to the big screen...
Here we go with these fake ass stories. NEXT!
I agree with Miss Cissy.
whateva.
Here we go again with the anonymous sources! They might as well quote us anons here and sell it! Damn!
RIP Whitney
You don't have to worry about who will play Whitney and whether or not family will be involved, Cissy. You'll be dead and gone before Whitney's biopic hits the big screen. The best you can hope for, in the near future, is a documentary on BET or TV-One. No disrespect. IJS.
UM....WHO DOES????? I DONT BELIEVE FOR A SECOND THAT ANYBODY IS CONSIDERING RIHANNA TO PLAY WHITNEY HOUSTON. AND BEYONCE IS TALENTED BUT SHE WONT FIT IN THE WHITNEY ROLE EITHER. THEY SHOULD JUST DO A CASTING CALL, IM SURE THERE IS A VERY TALENTED INGER OUT THERE THAT CAN PLAY WHITNEY, JUST LIKE THEY FOUND PEOPLE TO PLAY BIGGIE AND FAITH AND LIL KIM, THEY CAN FIND WHITNEY.
Please Cissy has nothing to worry about! No producer or studio would greenlight a bio of a legend played by that billygoat!!
"In spite of what anyone thought about Whitney, she sees her as a God-fearing Christian who loved the Lord."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#TRUTH
Just like with Biggie the best thing would be to get an unknown lookalike and use Nippy's vocal during the singing parts.
Not sure if this is true or not, but nobody wants Rihanna to play her. Except for Riri, who did say she would like to play Whitney which was disrespectful. The woman just passed away and she's trolling for a role to play her.
Keep dreaming Rih Rih.
1:54 is either joking or plain de.lusion.al
Cissy Houston seems like a cunt and I can understand why Whitney did drugs. Shut up and go sit down in your rocker. She seems more concerned about her daughter know that she is dead than she did when she was alive. No one who is intelligent will waste their money on this movie because it will be a puff piece.
I would love for Oprah to get ALL them together now for an interview now that we know how Nippy died. Lets see them answer the tuff questions.
Cissy Houston Doesn't Want Rihanna for Whitney Houston Bio-Pic -- NEITHER DOES WHITNEY'S FANS
Let Whitney's daughter play her. All they have to do is fix her gap, give her a little bit of make up and shell look just like Whitney
"AND BEYONCE IS TALENTED..."
LOL!
This story sounds completely fake. Who in the hell would be crazy enough to even consider Rihanna to play Whitney Houston. She doesn't in the least resemble her and has an accent. That's is pure bullshit. That casting would be even worse as the Get Rich or Die Trying kid playing Lil Cease in Notorious. That still gives me a WTF feeling...
Journalistic reporting in 2012..
A source of a trusted source that is related to a source very close to Cissy Houston reports that...
If this actually happens she won't have any say one way or another. They'll buy the rights and if they want the extra scratch from the movie getting made they'll whomever they think will make the most money. We'll get a better movie if the family's not involved. We need to see the real deal warts and all.
damn now im craving cheese
she better not use beyonce either because, i will not go see it. there's to many good black actress out there.
@4:40 i meant beyonce is talented in singing .NOT acting
Fuck Cissy Houston! She's jumping unto the Rihanna bashing, band wagon...just because she knew people love to hate on Rihanna. I bet she would want stank pussy Beyonce to play Whitney, even though the bitch doesn't have a great voice.
Cissy.. please take several seats. That entire list of similar traits is precisely why Rihanna could probably pull this off.
SO WHO THE FUCK DOES CISSY WANT TO PLAY WHITNEY? MOTHER THERESA? GTFOH!
@BeeGee: u a fool! lmao!
speaking of sources, what happened to the source awards?
What about Robin Thick's wife? What's her name? She was in Jumping the Broom and Precious.
Just like we don't need a Big Mike/King of Pop movie, we don't need a Whitney Houston/Nippy movie because we knew all we needed to know about these two people when they were alive. They are the only ones who could ever play them true selves. There's not a dancer/performer anywhere, whether famous or non famous, who can even come close to touching Mike's dancing. Likewise with Whitney. There's not a singer or entertainer anywhere, whether famous or non famous, who can even come close to Whitney's voice and personality.
Why don't they leave these people alone? When they were alive, they gave us great music, great shows, they struggled, they battled, sometimes they lost, sometimes they won. Then they went on to their afterlives. We already know what they went through in their lives and we don't need to see it on screen to understand it. Sometimes you gotta know when to move on and let things be.
They need to go somewhere with these fake ass stories 'cause we already know that Rhianna will not be playing Whitney Houston in any movie. Rhianna might be a clown, but she knows her limitations.
BTW: LOL. Yall know Beyonce ALREADY got this on lockdown. That bitch will shit bricks before she let another girl snatch this from her. Her peoples been on standby since day one.

How the hell beyonce got anything Whitney related on lock down when she wasn't even asked to sing a goodbye song at the Grammy's or the Funeral, and Um, since Whitney has a young daughter who probably reads the blogs I highly doubt Bobbi Kristina would sit silent and let it happen, especially if BK really wants the role herself, and in addition to that if Alicia Keys and Brandy and Monica really were true friends of Whitney I doubt they will sit silent and let that disaster happen.
Whitney doesn't have to be played by singer first of all, and any respectable person won't cast a f*cking singer with their own agenda to play Whitney, they will cast a TALENT, EMOTION FILLED ACTRESS, not a pu%%y popping ROBOT who poor diction and stiff movement.
And Make not Beyonce is no longer the IT GIRL.
She wasn't even asked t be apart of any part of Etta James goodbye and the Obama's have distanced themselves from them as best they can, despite having tried to initially use them for votes. Last time Jay-z went to a white house event he went SOLO. now beyonce writing retarded letters trying to get back in.
11:39 - Chill, boo boo, okay? My comment about Beyonce shouldn't be taken seriously. On RWS, we joke about Beyonce knocking people down and trampling over folks to be the first one to get a movie role.
If Cissy cared about her daughter like this while she was alive maybe things would be different. Stop worrying about movies and start worrying about your grand daughter fucking her brother/drug dealer. Whitney died coked up boiling like a hot dog in a hot ass bathtub. Its a little too soon to be sticking your nose in the air!
some people say the sickest things at the worst moments.
@11:39 If Brandy Monica and Alicia were true friends of Whitney's they never would have gone to that Clive Davis Party. Monica will probably try to get the role for herself if anything.
Cissy while i love your daughter with all my heart, you seem like you have got a attitude with Rihanna for living her life. Until Rihanna and Chris had that Knock out drag out fight and Chris tapped that ass Rihanna was cool. The only thing that was wrong with Rih and her life style and career climb was the fact that Beyonce was bitter after Rihanna out lasted her 15 minutes and you know the rest. Now if you want to buck and come screaming and kicking you or late because Whitney is resting now and its over for her. But perhaps Rihanna still have got time to get it right and hopefully so. Because if Rihanna will keep on Learning the tricks of the trade, Perhaps she have got time to get it right and become a even bigger artist in the Fabric of the entertainment world. Laying all of the hate that rihanna get for various reasons aside she seem to do well for a youngin whos still learning the tricks of the trade.
I AM REMINDED THAT PEOPLE WHO APPLIES THEMSELVES CAN DO WHAT EVER THEY PUT THEIR MIND TO, INCLUDING BECOMING PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS IN THIS CUREL WORL
PS WHITNEY'S FANS WHERE WERE YOU WHEN SHE WAS STUMBLING AND FALLING DOWN. Mind you i know these artist have got minds of their own but at the same time many of them did not and do not have the luxury of many. Withney she was born with it and it is wrong for any one to try and bash her for what happened in her life and for her not being strong to battle her demons. But perhaps there or others who have seemingly gotten off track can be helped. There is nothing wrong with people and their though process when they fill that Rihanna would be bad for speaking of being happy to play Whitney, is it too early ? yes it is and to me it will always be to early But the way that many or trying to treat Rihanna is Uncalled for. And many know that Rihanna gets more than her share of hate and shes not perfect and neigher am i or any of you. But whick one of us is without sin and where do we get off jumping the Hate on Rihanna Train for each and everything she is doing as it is related to WORK? Not trying to be smart because i am far from being a know it all but at the same time where i was raised they always gave those who worked hard a days pay for a days work. And Rihannas life has been played out a lot in the media and some by her own choosing and a lot by a blatant effort to hold her back since many seem to think that the wealth in the world is saved and perserved for certain people and some had better be on that welfare role from now till their dying day.
Keep trying to write Rihanna off while the first numbers just came in on Battleship where she's featured and the numbers or very Immpressive for three days.
@10:31 "I AM REMINDED THAT PEOPLE WHO APPLIES THEMSELVES CAN DO WHAT EVER THEY PUT THEIR MIND TO, INCLUDING BECOMING PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS IN THIS CUREL WORL"
^^^^"People who applies..." and "this curel worl" I couldn't make it past this illiterate-assed opening. Why don't you apply yourself to working on that GED then hit RWS when you can spell and speak English?
@10:45 AM
Ditto. I attempted to read the first sentence, then said fuck it.
it could be a good movie. but, i don't think it will. Cissy wants this movie to be the way she would have liked to see whitney.
What! Sissy looking for someone who is hooked on drugs to do it? I got an idea, Lets paint Linzy Lowhand << spelled wrong. ( I Know ) And let her play whitney.
please, tell me its not because she thinks Rhianna will taint Whitney's image?? I say this before I've read any comments....but if that is the case hun
#CissyPleaseHaveASeatInTheCornerSectionOfTheChurch 0_o?
Okay, after reading the comments @ 9:27pm
Paula Patton is a GOOD IDEA :) She kinda favors Whitney (in Whitney's younger days of course only she's a little lighter, but thats not a big deal). Plus I think her and Robin Thicke can relate to those cocaine issues (no offense to them or anything, but shyt it iz what it iz) *shrug*
#ILikeIT :)
And that is why Whitney is no longer her because her mom had on blinders. Whitney’s story should be told the way she lived her life. Her family hid everything and lied even when she passed. Tell the story and tell the whole story. In doing this maybe you can save some one out here who has a chance because Whitney is gone Ms Cissy no disrespect.
CJN in the LU
Why lie and make it seem like she was so good. You keep what you have about your dayghter because she was just that your daughter. The world will always see her different that you Ms. Cissy. So what you have control over do that her story needs to be told. And your to how you enabled her in the worst way so step back and let the story be told.
No disrespect cissy but you know the truth and you no doubt did the best you could, but like the others say step aside and let the story be told, mama. I hate to say it but you need to try and get a handle on your gapped thooth rebellious grandaughter with her spoiled behind mama. Now Whitney took that fellow in and kept him as her son and no doubt that little fellow who whitney was feeding has been molesting that child for years right under whitney';s nose. And now that she is gone he will still use her money and her daughter to his full advantage, and its shameful. I know that there is only so much that you can do mama but you need to live the rest of your life in Peace because i know you have gone through something losing your beautiful daughter while she was still so young mama.
People loved whitney and will always love her no matter what. She seemed like some one from your family or something. And a movie isn't going to make people hate her it's just a movie about her because shes a Legendof this century.
We all know by now how things got for her which will always be very sad. But life goes on and hopefully people will keep trying to open their eyes to a lot of the things that goes on in the Entertainment world.
I wouldn't mind a Whitney movie done the right way, I bet there are a lot of interesting things about her that we dont know. hell I'd like a Tupac, Aaliyah, and MJ (the later yrs) movie as well.
First of all bitch , Rihanna is probably the only celebrity that could even come close to the life style the Whitney Houston had. being that she has gone thru all that Whitney had, the drug and alcohol abuse, the domestic violence, etc. would make Rihanna a great candidate for the role of whitney. Oh and no offense But Cissy you need to tone the god damn attitude towards Rihanna the fuck down Kay, Rihanna is also a religious woman , I would know after working with her for 3 years how she is , know your facts before you talk shit about the BIGGEST celebrity in the industry Kay honey , honey suckle, honey motheafuckin bunches of oats.
