Hold my lip gloss and cue the chaos— rumor has it Kim Kardashian might star as Whitney Houston’s iconic Rachel Marron in The Bodyguard remake. Yes, you heard right.
Kim K. The same Kim who once struggled through “Jam (Turn It Up)” with less rhythm than a microwave trying to beatbox.
So let’s get this straight—Hollywood wants to remake a classic film that once showcased Whitney’s legendary vocals and heart-wrenching acting… and replace her with a woman whose most dramatic performance was crying over losing a diamond earring in the ocean?
According to Daily Mail, Kim is a front-runner. Not a walker. Not a casual name on the list. A front-runner. This might be the biggest cinematic scam since Cats.
Look, we get it. Kim is famous. Like, change-the-internet famous. But unless the Bodyguard remake comes with heavy auto-tune, zero singing scenes, and plot twists written by Ryan Murphy on caffeine, this casting makes no sense.
Can she act? Slightly. Can she sing? Not unless the movie comes with a built-in karaoke machine and subtitles.
Now, Twitter’s in flames. Fans are screaming for Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, or Halle Bailey to take the role. And honestly? Valid. Give us pipes. Give us talent. Don’t give us a perfume mogul with a PhD in paparazzi.
Tyra Banks even pitched the idea of Taylor Swift and Idris Elba in the lead roles. Bold. Confusing. Weirdly intriguing. But Swift as Whitney? That’s like casting Martha Stewart in Fast & Furious.
Bottom line: if this remake happens and they cast Kim, it’s gonna need more than a good bodyguard—it’s gonna need protection from the BeyHive, the Swifties, AND the spirit of Whitney Houston.
