It looks like legendary singer Whitney Houston could be making a return to the big screen with the help of producer/actor Tyler Perry. Houston auditioned for the leading role in Perry's upcoming movie "A Jazz Man's Blues" where she plays a jazz singer set in the 1940's. Rumor had it that the role was originally written for Diana Ross, but those plans fell through so the script was re-written for Whitney Houston. Actor Ben Kingsley will play Houston's love interest.
Hopefully this role will relaunch her career back to the way it was back in the early 90's, when she played in "The Bodyguard" because that was the biggest movie of her career.
