Rihanna is to star in a remake of "The Bodyguard." The 21-year-old pop star - whose boyfriend Chris Brown has been charged with felony assault and making criminal threats following his alleged assault on her - has reportedly been looking at various scripts in New York, including a remake of the hit 90s film which starred Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Before the situation with Chris, Rihanna was getting a lot of scripts. She has been wanting to do movies for a while now."

Whitney Houston has urged Rihanna not to take Chris Brown back. The legendary singer reportedly warned Rihanna to cut all ties with Chris after the "Run It" star was arrested for allegedly beating her up.

Whitney - who had a violent relationship with ex-husband Bobby Brown - is believed to have spoken to Rihanna, telling her: "Don't make the same mistakes I did."

Whitney Houston made her stage comeback at a pre-Grammys party on Saturday. The 45-year-old singer looked in good health as she performed in a figure-hugging animal print dress at the 2009 Grammy Salute to Industry Icons show, in honor of record industry boss Clive Davis.

Her return to the stage has been hailed a triumph, with Whitney - who has publicly battled addition to crack-cocaine and endured a bitter break-up from singer Bobby Brown - told the crowd "I got it! I got it!" before launching into her hits "I'm Every Woman" and "I Will Always Love You."

Beyonce Knowles hates going to parties. The 27-year-old singer - who is married to Jay-Z - admits she dislikes attending social gatherings because she always feels like the other guests are spying on her.

She said: "I don't really go out much. If I wasn't a celebrity then I don't know how I would feel, but it's not that much fun for me - it feels like I'm in a cage and everyone is watching."

Amy Winehouse's husband is planning to appear on her favorite TV show to win her back.

Blake Fielder-Civil - who has been in rehab since leaving prison last month - reportedly thinks starring on reality series "Celebrity Big Brother" would be the perfect way to prove his love for the troubled singer and show he has quit drugs.

Whitney Houston and ex-husband Bobby Brown are reportedly getting back together. The former couple - who married in 1992 and divorced in 2007 - are said to have rekindled their romance after being encouraged to remarry by their 15-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina.

A report from the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper claims Whitney, 45, and Bobby, 39, were "looking very romantic while dining together in Georgia recently."
