Rihanna would give "her entire life" to play Whitney Houston in a biopic. The "You Da One" hitmaker - who makes her feature film debut this summer in Battleship - admits she would love to play the late singer in a possible movie, because she was inspired by her as a youngster.

"My first song that I remember falling in love with was a Whitney Houston song, "I Will Always Love You." 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. That would be something that I would have to give my entire life to do, because I would really want to pull it off. That's a huge, huge role and whoever does it has to do a good job," she said.
