Billboard Whitney Houston Honor: DRAMA BEFORE THE AWARDS

Billboard Whitney Houston Honor: DRAMA BEFORE THE AWARDS

 

 

 

Whitney Houston is set be honored at the Billboard Music Awards tonight.  Her daughter will receive the Millennium Award on her mother's behalf. Whitney was found dead in The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills earlier this year.  This award has had a bit of controversy around it.  Apparently, Patricia Houston's Whitney's manager and sister-in law was trying to claw her way into the acceptance of the award.  TMZ reported:

 

Sources closes to the situation tell TMZ … Pat is trying to force herself into the spotlight by accepting Whitney's Millennium Award at the ceremony in Las Vegas tonight … and producers of the show are pissed. 
 
We're told the show really wants BK to accept the award and make the speech on the late singer's behalf … but Pat won't stand for it and is making life hell for them as she tries to worm her way into the segment. 
 
Sources tell us … the show's producers feel BK is the best choice to represent Whitney's legacy and they're convinced Pat is simply exploiting the situation to get publicity for her upcoming reality show. 

 

They reportedly have come to a truce and both Bobbi and Pat will appear on stage together.  Jordin Sparks and John Legend are scheduled to perform a tribute to the late, legendary singer.
