The 24-year-old singer is a huge fan of the pop star, who died in February aged 48.

Although Rihanna has said that Whitney is one of her ‘big music icons’, she insists she has no plans to appear in a film about her life.

Following speculation about the biopic, the Bajan star revealed she has not been approached by movie bosses.

“[It was] just rumours. I never heard anything like that,’ she told MTV News.

Last month, Rihanna gushed that Whitney was someone she ‘looked up to’ and the superstar had inspired her to pursue a music career.

She also sent the rumour mill into overdrive by admitting she would love to portray the star on the big screen.

‘I didn’t get that call yet,’ she said about the movie. ‘That would be something that I would have to give my entire life to do because I would want to really pull it off.

‘That’s a huge, huge role and whoever does it has to do a good job.’

Rihanna recently made her movie debut in the action movie Battleship.

We were lucky that he shared the stage with so many musical luminaries, such as Adele who picked up her first award for ‘Music Most Performed Work’. To be fair she had a 50% chance on this one as she was nominated twice but ‘Rolling In The Deep’ rightly stormed it.

‘Thanks for telling me to put it out first [she nodded to her table] I just thought people wouldn’t like it.’ An impossible thought now clearly.

The predicted clean sweep was abruptly intercepted by the young, fresh and vibrant Ed Sheeran winning ‘Best Song Musically and Lyrically’ and dealt another blow with ‘Album Award’ going to PJ Harvey for ‘Let England Shake’.

Take That were in town (minus Jason) to pick up ‘PRS for Music Outstanding Contribution to British Music’ with the award for most honest speech of the night all Marc Owen’s:

‘Sometimes I was embarrassed to say I was in Take That, sometimes I was proud,’ as the 1000+ audience gasped he continued ‘come on you’ve just seen those videos.’

‘Songwriter of the Year’ went to Adele:

‘On my first album like a dickhead I read all the reviews, critics said my songs weren’t as good as my voice. I took note.’ Fantastic!

Music-News.com also mingled with the stars, tit bits were:

Boy George stating ‘the new Culture Club album is out next year, as soon as I’m allowed back into America.’ Oh dear we may have to wait a bit longer.

Michael Evis: ‘I’m off to a festival in Germany.’ Good.

And coolest man of the night William Orbit declared ‘Madonna gets better with age,’ yeah right, but the man also turned up at Audley’s pub around the corner and chatted all night with everyone. A ledge!

Great day had by all! Roll on Gambaccini and roll in Ivor.

The Australian singer had been in talks with bosses for the TV show this week, but the negotiations are believed to have ended after she turned down the offer. There was speculation that the star’s management team had demanded £5 million to secure Dannii’s return to the judging panel.

‘We made it no secret that we wanted Dannii to come back and we thought we could make a deal,’ a source told British newspaper The Daily Mail. ‘She asked for £5 million, which was silly money and clearly a negotiating tactic, a silly one at that.

‘We were in talks until late on Wednesday night and went up to £1 million for the series. Everyone thought she would take it, but she didn’t.

‘We then walked away ‘ as our feeling was that we wouldn’t be held to ransom.’

However, sources close to Dannii, 40, have branded the money rumours ‘ridiculous’.

‘A million pounds is a huge deal,’ the insider said. ‘There was never any bid made for £5 million. If she wanted to do the show, she would have done it.’

It has been claimed the beauty was ‘hurt’ by recent revelations about her secret affair with Simon Cowell when they both worked on the show. She was reportedly approached about coming back for the new season just weeks after the rumours surfaced.

This is believed to have impacted her choice not to reprise her role as a judge.

‘It was so upsetting for her to be described as one of Simon’s ‘toys’ and for him to talk about their fling in such a humiliating way,’ a source told British newspaper The Sun. ‘Huge sums have been put on the table and it’s not convinced her. It wasn’t about money. She could easily have got more than a million. They desperately wanted her.’

Dannii was tipped to re-join the show following the recent departure of Kelly Rowland.

Simon will not be a judge this year, but will remain executive producer.

Auditions are scheduled to begin next week and it is believed they will take place in front of three judges instead of the usual four. Take That star Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh have both confirmed they will be returning to the panel.

The singer revealed she had been hospitalised in New York City earlier this week after posting a photo of an IV drip attached to her arm on her Twitter account.

The 24-year-old had been complaining that she felt unwell last week, often posting messages on her Twitter account.

Rihanna is happy to report that she is now healthy again.

‘I”m a lot better, thank you for asking,’ she told E! News at the premiere of her movie Battleship. ‘I just had the flu and I never gave myself the chance to recover. But I took a couple days, rested. And now I”m here. I always deny myself [rest].’

Now that she has returned to vigour, Rihanna has different physical sensations to worry about. The singer-turned-actress is anxious about her new Hollywood career.

‘I”m very excited and very nervous at the same time,’ she explained. ‘I definitely have some butterflies. I can”t wait.’

Rihanna bonded well with one castmate in particular.

‘I love Liam Neeson,’ she gushed.

Battleship will be released in the US May 18.

The stunning songstress is thought to be dating Florence + The Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd, after they were seen smooching at a recent music festival.

Katy split from her husband Russell Brand last year and is said to be smitten with the musician.

“I think Katy’s marked out her territory with Rob. It’s clear she’s really into him, and wants to join him when the band returns to the UK next month. She must know that if Rob gets home and she’s not there with him, other things might happen,” a source told UK magazine more!

Katy is said to admire Robert’s down-to-earth nature, and has learnt a great deal from past romances.

“I’m sure she learnt a lot from trying and failing to make a long-distance relationship work with Russell,” the insider added. “So she’s willing to spend as much time in the UK as she can. Rob’s a proper British lad who loves going down the pub and watching football. He’s not Hollywood at all.

“That’s what Katy like’s so much.”

Meanwhile, Russell has revealed details of an encounter with Sir Tom Jones.

The British comic has joked that the meeting failed to impress the singing legend ‘ who is a mentor on the UK version of The Voice.

‘Seriously. Was just dragged into Tom Jones’ hotel room. In a way a great honour. He didn’t turn round (sic),’ he wrote on his Twitter account today.

The pop princess had been in negotiations for a while to join Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid on the panel of the American singing competition series.

And E! News has confirmed that Britney will get $15 million for one season on the show.

‘The contract is signed,’ a source close to the star told the site. ‘There’s been a lot of back and forth over the past few weeks as they negotiated the small details, but she’s on. It’s all completed and Britney is beyond excited.’

The vacancy came up at the end of the first season when Simon fired Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jones. The fourth judge and a new presenter for the show have not yet been agreed upon.

‘She’s ready for this,’ the insider added about the mother-of-two’s new post. ‘She can’t wait to sit down next to Simon at the judges’ table and give this everything she’s got. She is excited about showing the world that she can do this, and do this well.’

‘This is the perfect next stage in her career. Both Britney and Simon are very excited to work together.’

The singer revealed she had been hospitalised in New York City earlier this week after posting a photo of an IV drip attached to her arm on her Twitter account. Although she didn’t confirm the reason for her stay, it has been reported that she was treated for dehydration after attending the Met Gala on Monday. There is speculation that Rihanna’s hectic work schedule and late nights have taken a toll on her health.

‘[She became sick from] excessive partying and not slowing down. She has been travelling nonstop and going wild. Rihanna has been rebelling against her record label because she feels she has been made to work too hard,’ a source told New York Post.

‘She’s doing great now. She was super sick. She got some penicillin and an IV, and is better,’ another source added.

Although Rihanna dazzled in a Tom Ford black crocodile dress on the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art event, she wasn’t spotted at the after-party at the Crown restaurant or the Prada bash.

The 24-year-old had been complaining that she felt unwell last week, often posting messages on her Twitter account.

She also sparked concerns for her health last weekend after pulling out of a dress rehearsal for US TV show Saturday Night Live due to illness.

‘Rihanna did not do the dress rehearsal because of her throat, which was the first time that’s ever happened,’ show creator Lorne Michaels told the publication. ‘I think for the live audience, when they heard that – we announced it just before she would have gone on – that also sort of took the air right out of the room. It was a very difficult dress [rehearsal] to gauge.’

Despite her health scare, Rihanna shows no signs of slowing down.

It has been announced she will perform on the finale of American Idol on May 23.

Meanwhile, sources close to the Bajan star deny she is dating American football player Darren McFadden.

Yesterday it was claimed Rihanna had been spotted making out with the Oakland Raiders star in Hawaii last month.

‘Sources close to Rihanna tell us, the singer did meet Darren last month in Honolulu – while she was promoting her new film Battleship – but they kept things strictly platonic,’ reports TMZ.

The website adds that Darren was with his girlfriend when he met Rihanna and the trio relaxed on a beach over a few drinks.
