Bobby Brown Speaks On The Life & Death Of Whitney Houston..FULL Interview
Bobby Brown is finally speaking out for the first time since the death of his ex-wife Whitney Houston. While speaking with Matt Lauer, he confirmed what I believed for years. He told the world that he was not responsible for getting Whitney started on cocaine. You can tell in this interview that Bobby LOVED Whitney and I could see in Whitney that she LOVED Bobby. They just were not good TOGETHER. Anywho, check out the full interview below.

"Sparkle" Remake Sneak Peek
Everybody should know that I'm super excited about the remake of the 1976 movie, Sparkle. It was and still is my most favorite movie ever. So, needless to say I was REALLY excited when I heard Whitney Houston would be in the movie. Fortunately, the cast had already wrapped filming when the legendary star passed away suddenly in February. I love that we'll get to see her on the big screen one last time. Check out the trailer below.
I can't wait... I'm gonna have to really control myself from singing all the songs at the theater. I know them ALL word for word. AND the routines, LOL. Anywho, will you be going to see the movie?

Bobbi Kristina Changing Her Name?
According to TMZ, Bobbi Kristina Brown is thinking about changing her name and dropping any name that associates her with her father, Bobby Brown. She's supposedly so upset with her father that she wants to change her name to Kristina Houston. Krissi (as her mother called her), wanted to change her name when her parents split, but Whitney talked her out of it.
I wonder what the relationship between the two is really like. Whatever the issue is, I really hope they work it out.

Oprah Winfrey And Bobbi Kristina Interview
If you missed last night's episode of Oprah, The Next Chapter, you missed a WONDERFUL interview. Oprah spoke with the Houston family and got them to open up as only she could get them to do. Take a look at her conversation with Whitney's only child, Bobbi Kristina.
I'm really glad to see that Krissi is doing well. I'll try to find the part of the interview when Oprah spoke with Gary and Pat Houston. I see why Pat was Whitney's closest friend, she was that REAL friend that everyone needs in their life.
UPDATE: Below is part of the interview with Gary and Pat Houston, Whitney's brother and sister-in-law. I'm still looking for the full interview.

Sneak Peek: The Houston Family On Oprah: The Next Chapter
Bobbi Kristina and a few other members of the Houston family spoke with Oprah about the life and death of the great Whitney Houston. The show will air on the OWN Network this Sunday, check out a clip from the show below.
According to TMZ, Bobbi Kristina stated to friends that "Oprah was loyal to my mom, and never did my mother wrong, or made her look bad. She always looked out for my mom.”
I'm sure Bobbi Kristina felt most comfortable with Oprah because of her mother's last interview with the talk show QUEEN. During that interview, Oprah asked some of the questions we all wanted to hear the answers to, but she never attacked Whitney (like some interviewers do). This is why Oprah always gets the exclusives, because people feel safe with her. I can't wait to see this interview. More Dish!

Whitney Houston Home Going Obituary... Full Program
On Saturday, February 11th the family of the legendary Whitney E. Houston held a private Home Going Celebration for their beloved "Nippy." While it was not open to the public, the family did however allow one camera in the building. That one camera was more than enough to show the world what a real celebration of life looks like. Ms. Cissy Houston put her baby to rest BEAUTIFULLY!! I was so glad that she took Whitney home and held the services in her original church. I think Whitney would have wanted it done just as it was.
The service was beautiful and so was the program. Check MORE DISH for the full program.

Aretha Franklin Speaks On Whitney Houston's Passing
Whitney's "Aunt Ree", Aretha Franklin spoke to TODAY about Whitney's death. Take a look at the interview below.
Since Whitney's death, I've watched several of her interviews and performances. It really hurt me to look at some of the recent videos, and it's no secret that "the voice" wasn't what it used to be. While speaking to TODAY, Aretha stated that she knew it hurt Whitney that she couldn't sing what (how) she wanted to and was used to. I know it had to have hurt her, because like I said... it hurt my feelings just watching it. There have been people making horrible comments about this legendary woman and it honestly ticks me off. One of the last songs she was heard singing was "Yes Jesus Loves Me", and it was obvious that she loved him too. So, who are we to judge? I've seen several posts about all the greats being in heaven ready to greet Whitney at the gate. If that's the case, I know they are all up there JAMMING.. and Whitney not only has "the voice" back, but she's hitting notes she didn't even know she could. More Dish!

Whitney Houston's Friend/Alleged Lesbian Lover Writes A Letter About Their Relationship
I've been watching old interviews of Whitney and was reminded of those lesbian rumors surrounding her back in the day. Before she got with Bobby, Whitney's close friend Robyn Crawford served as her assistant. Just like they claim Rihanna's assistant is her lesbian lover these days, they made the same claims about Whitney back then. Robyn has never really spoken about her relationship with Whitney, until now. Check out an excerpt from her letter below.
She was nothing like the Whitney Houston she became but at the same time she was already there. She knew, and so did everyone around her. She was doing shows in Manhattan with her mother, and she'd change her clothes in the car and get on stage and do her thing. She hadn't signed her contract yet. But she was modeling for Wilhelmina because she was discovered on the street. She was walking in front of Carnegie Hall and someone walked up to her and said, "There's a modeling agency upstairs that's looking for someone just like you." She walked upstairs and they signed her. That's what it was like, that's what she gave off. She looked like an angel. When my mother first met her, she laughed and said, "You look like an angel, but I know you're not." And she wasn't. But she looked like one.
I don't think it was anything going on between them, but if it was, SO WHAT. Anywho, read the full letter here.

Monica & Brandy Speak On Whitney's Life & Legacy
I never even laid eyes on Whitney Houston in person, but her death has hit me hard. Both Monica and Brandy have ALWAYS talked about how much they idolized Whitney, so I know this was tough for them to deal with. I was just talking to my sister yesterday and mentioned that Monica is the closest thing to a Whitney this generation will get. In my Whitney tribute, I posted the "Shoop" video that they discussed. In it, Whitney spoke on how great of of a singer Monica was.
Just cause I'm slick nosey, I'm curious about what that letter said. If I were Brandy, I wouldn't share it with the world either.
Funeral Arrangements For Whitney Houston
Funeral arrangements for the great Whitney Houston have been made and will be held in her hometown of Newark, New Jersey. Her remains were flown back to Newark on Tyler Perry's private plane.
Her family is planning a wake on Thursday and her funeral will be held on Friday at Newark's Prudential Center. This arena holds around 20,000 and is used for concerts and NBA games. I'll give more info as it is provided.
UPDATE: The Mayor of Newark stated that the city will NOT have a public memorial for Whitney. The family will however have a private funeral this Saturday at New Hope Baptist Church.

Wendy Williams Breaks Down When Speaking On Whitney Houston's Passing... Jennifer Hudson's Whitney Tribute At The 54th Grammy Ceremony
Y'all know I love Wendy and this is the reason why. She is always sincere in everything she says and does.
Jennifer Hudson sang Whitney's I Will Always Love You at last nights Grammy Awards.
I know we were all expecting a tribute and I was honestly a little upset about it. We have to keep in mind that they only had 24 hours to prepare something. I just wish it hadn't been hyped up as a tribute when in actuality it was only a 3rd of one of her greatest hits. Besides that, Jennifer did an amazing job and I'm glad they chose her for the job.
Whitney Houston Death Details, Plus My Mini Tribute.. Rest In Love!!
When my sister called me Saturday night to tell me that Whitney Houston was no longer with us, I immediately wanted to believe it was just a rumor. However, the hurt in my sister's voice let me know it most definitely wasn't. On February 11th, the world lost the legendary Whitney Houston, she was only 48 years old.
According to TMZ Whitney was found submerged in water in her L.A. hotel room. Initially, sources were saying that Whitney might have taken prescription drugs, fell asleep in the tub and drowned. Since those reports, the autopsy has been completed and family members stated that she died prior to going underwater. According to the autopsy, there was not enough water in her lungs to suggest drowning. Whitney possibly died from a combination of prescription pills and alcohol.
Regardless of how Whitney left, the world is definitely mourning her loss. While we're hurting, nobody is hurting more than her 18 year old daughter Bobbi Kristina. Since her mother's death, she's been rushed to the hospital twice. The night of Whitney's death, Bobbi Kristina got into a verbal altercation with police when they would not allow her entry into her mother's room. Please keep this family, especially Bobbi Kristina in your prayers. She and her mother were SUPER close, you could see Whitney's love for Bobbi Kristina every time she spoke of her. The above pic was one of the last photos the two took together.
I have ALWAYS loved me some Whitney Houston. You couldn't tell me I wasn't Whitney back in the day. She was beautiful and her voice always amazed me. Yesterday, an elementary school friend of mine posted a status on Facebook asking if anybody remembered when the twins (my sister and I) used to sing Whitney Houston songs on the playground and everybody used to crowd around. That brought back memories cuz like I said, I LOVED Whitney. Anytime somebody asked me to sing, I would break out in a Whitney song. Now that I'm older, I know better than to fool around with anything Whitney ever touched LOL.
I just wanted to take a minute and post some of my favorite Whitney songs and performances. Check MORE DISH to hear her angelic voice.
LOVEDDDDDDDDDDDD IT!!! And it was effortless.
When they showed this clip of her live Grammy performance from 1994 last night at the beginning of this years Grammys, I didn't think I would make it through the rest of the show. It broke me all the way down. This woman's voice, was beyond amazing!! And when she got to bouncing, I knew she would have me rocking. People can say what they want about this woman, but THIS is how I will always remember Ms. Whitney!! Rest In Love, we will ALWAYS LOVE YOU!! More Dish!

Bobbi Kristina Cocaine Pics...SMH
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, SMDH. The Enquirer has released pics of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston's teenage daughter, Bobbi Kristina possibly sniffing cocaine. I ONLY said possibly cuz I don't like to assume (but she's clearly on that ish). Check out the pics!!
This is a terribly sad situation and I can only see it getting worse. We've seen pics in the past of Bobbi Kristina smoking cigarettes and drinking, but this here is just wayyyyyyyyyyy too much, SMH. Bobby and Whitney need to step in and step UP to their duties as parents. If I were Whitney I'd have to tap that azz!! Say what you want about whooping a child, but I know first hand that IT WORKS!! #teamtapthatazz
I was about to ask who the hell she's kicking it with to be sniffing cocaine, but.... you have to remember who her parents are. She could have been on this mess since she was 8. I've seen some crazy True Hollywood stories on E!, you never know how this mess gets started. I pray that Bobbi Kristina can pull herself together.
