Rihanna RihannaNYC031409a.jpg We told you Rihanna was eyeing a movie role, and now it looks like she's following in the footsteps of Whitney Houston. Er...yeah, in more ways than one!

According to the NY Daily News, one of Rihanna's meetings in The Big Apple was about a proposed remake of the 1992 Whitney Houston/Kevin Costner film, "The Bodyguard." Obviously, Rihanna would take on Whitney’s role, and hunky GI Joe star Channing Tatum has been tapped to play Costner’s role as the bodyguard.

Do you wanna see Rihanna in this film? Or would you rather see another young starlet take her place?
