Whitney Houston’s family are said to be absolutely furious over a movie about her life.

The late superstar’s loved ones are livid that the Angela Basset-directed film depicting Whitney’s rocky relationship with her ex-husband Bobby Brown is being planned as a TV movie because they feel she deserves so much more.

Whitney’s sister Pat Houston said, ”Whitney is certainly worthy of more than a television movie. If Whitney were here today, this would not be happening.”

The singer’s family has reportedly already told Lifetime – the makers of the movie – that they are NOT happy and are said to be threatening a lawsuit if the network refuses to cancel production.

Whitney’s family are instead planning their own big screen movie in the style of Michael Jackson’s This Is It, which they feel would be a more fitting tribute to the musical icon.

Meanwhile, the Lifetime movie is set for release in 2015 and will see Oscar-nominated actress Angela, who starred opposite Whitney in Waiting to Exhale, make her directorial début.

Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston are said to be writing a script together – and hope it’s going to be the next big comedy movie to hit our screens.

The Iron Man 2 writer has apparently convinced his fiancée to pen a comedy with him, despite the fact she doesn’t have much experience on the other side of the camera.

The couple are said to have worked out a story idea and a list of characters for the movie.

Jen and Justin- who have been engaged for almost two years – have yet to walk down the aisle, although Jennifer recently hinted it could happen in 2015.

She said,”There is a lot of work that is happening this year. I’m working and finishing tweaking little bits and pieces of my house [in Los Angeles].

“But then its going to stop, and we’re just going to live there. 2015 will be nesting, 100 per cent, I’ve got to take a break.”

Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been added to the cast of the upcoming movie, Fifty Shades of Grey.

The news was confirmed by the movie’s director, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Aaron’s wife.

Sam was asked during an interview if she has found a way to get her husband into the movie yet and she answered: “Actually, I have.”

It was initially thought that Aaron would take on the role of Christian Grey in the highly anticipated adaptation of E.L. James’ book, but he has since stated: “I think it would have been the wrong kind of hype to bring towards us. It would have been kind of funny that this character that all these women fancy – he’s one in a million – and my wife picks her husband to play the part?”

We wonder what type of a role she has given him, guess we will have to wait until Valentine’s Day to find out!
