Surely they mean that she NEEDS and ACTUAL bodyguard right? No?

Luckily, this source is a bit fishy…

From NY Daily News:

The battered pop star made an impromptu trip to the Big Apple over the weekend to have some meetings about impending projects: one of which is a proposed remake of 1992’s Whitney Houston/Kevin Costner flick, “The Bodyguard.” Rihanna would be taking on Whitney’s role in the updated version, which an insider says would be a “young and sexy take” on the favorite film. “GI Joe” hottie Channing Tatum’s name has been bandied about to take on Costner’s role.

“Before the situation with Chris, Ri was getting a lot of scripts. She’s been wanting to do movies for a while now,” our insider reveals. In addition to a proposed “Bodyguard” remake, Rihanna is also considering working on a “Charlies Angels” sequel, as well as potentially starring alongside Justin Timberlake, with whom she released her hit single “Rehab.” Rihanna’s camp denied the songstress has taken any meetings with any directors, producers or production companies.

In addition to talking about her acting career, Ri is working on her new album, which will be released by year’s end. Two new tracks have already been cut - “We Own the Night” and “Pretty Girl Blues.”

Sweet God. And Channing Tatum? Tatum of Step 2 The Streets and She’s The Man fame?

It sounds like a lot of these “rumors” were started by Rihanna sitting in some executive’s studio as he threw out every popstar and black girl idea he could possibly think of. Like that Justin Timberlake rumor? What are these two going to star in? I would make a joke about a Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner remake, except Ashton Kutcher actually made that one (joke and movie).

So damn. I mean, I guess a Bodyguard remake could be cool. But do we need one?

And do we need a pitch corrected “AND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-IIIIIIIIIIIIII WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYUYUYUYUYUYOOOOOOOOO?”
