America's Next Top Model Yaya DaCosta Casted For Whitney Houston In LIFETIME TV Biopic

*Grabs karaoke mic, and channels Whitney Houston* "Thaaa greatest love, OF ALLLLL! Is happening to meee!"...and definitely to Yaya!

Season 3's America's Next Top Model runner up, Yaya DaCosta, may have recently hit the gig of a lifetime; playing legendary singer/actress Whitney Houston in a made for T.V. biopic!

The movie will air on LIFETIME, and will chronicle the late singer's relationship with her ex-husband, Bobby Brown, and also capture her meteoric rise to superstardom.

The yet-untitled biopic is aiming for a 2015 release, and will be directed by Angela Bassett, who is famously known for PLAYING THE STANK out of her role as Tina Turner in the 1993 American biopic, What's Love Got To Do With It.

Yaya is most recently known for her role in Lee Daniels, The Butler; playing the sassy student activist, Carol Hammie.

You know what A-Listers, I think this can work. There are definitely physical similarities there, and if Yaya can pull off the acting, this could be a good look! Still a little confused as to why a biopic on someone so legendary only made the small screen...Oh well, I'll still be watching!
