Jordin Sparks & Whitney Houston

 

The late Whitney Houston starred in her last film "Sparkle," which she filmed last year before her untimely death in February.  The singer recorded the single with Jordin Sparks for the film.  The song was written and produced by R. Kelly.  The video is more of a tribute to Whitney and has clips of her from the movie.  Sparks said of the song:

 

"I would have loved to be in the studio with her, but with Whitney's schedule it got so crazy [we never] found the time to get together, so we recorded it separately," she told BET. "But it was amazing to be able to go in after she had already finished her part… It was so cool because you could just hear the smile in Whitney's voice when she was singing it."

 

The movie is scheduled for a August 17, 2012 release date.

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.

Whitney Houston News: Body May Be Encased In Concrete Bobby Brown Says Don’t Blame Him

Whitney Houston News: Body May Be Encased In Concrete Bobby Brown Says Don't Blame Him 

 

 

 

 

Whitney Houston, who was 48 when she passed, died more almost three months ago and news surrounding the singer continues to make headlines.  Whitney Houston, who was buried in New Wark, New Jersey, next to her late father, was reportedly buried with $500,000 dollars worth of jewelry.  Reports have surfaced that Whitney's mother, Cissy Houston, has been paying for 24-hour security of Whitney's grave to prevent grave-robbers from trying to rob her grave and she can't continue to affored this.  According to a source:

 

 "Cissy can't afford to keep paying guards forever. A concrete encasement is the only answer."A burial expert at Hollywood Forever, which houses the remains of a number of celebrities, believes encasing Whitney in concrete is a "sensible move."  They said: "It makes robbery virtually impossible. It would take a long time to get through, even with a pneumatic drill."

 

 

 

In other Whitney related news, Bobby Brown has done an interview with Matt Lauer for The Today Show in which he insists he is not to blame for Whitney being gone.  The interview is slated to air in two parts on Wednesday and Thursday.  Here are some excerpts from the interview:

 

 

Bobby Brown spoke about the last time he saw Whitney:
 
"She had this glow about her that was just, you know, incredible. I'm saying to myself, you know, 'She must be … she must be doing really well,' because she looked really well…[she] looked like she was in a good place."
 
 
When asked about Whitney's cocaine use being the cause of her death, Bobby answered: 
 
 
"I was hurt. I was hurt … because, you know, me being off of narcotics for the last seven years, I felt that she was, you know, I didn’t know she was struggling with it still. But at the same time, you know, listen, it's a hard fight.  It's a hard fight to, you know, maintain sobriety that way."
 
Based on his own feelings and how she appeared when he last saw her, Brown theorizes that that one day of cocaine use — not the effects of longterm use — was enough to kill Houston. "It had to be that one, because that's all it takes," Brown said. "One hit, you know … it could definitely take your life away from you. And, unfortunately, that was it."
 
 
 
Matt asked Brown about the rumors that it was he who got Whitney hooked on drugs, Brown says those offenses are "not true."
 
 
"I didn't get high [on narcotics] before I met Whitney," Brown said. "I smoked weed, I drank the beer, but no, I wasn't the one that got Whitney on drugs at all." He says drugs were a part of the singer's life "way before" they got together.
 
"It's just … it's just unexplainable how one could, you know, [say that I] got her addicted to drugs. I'm not the reason she's gone."

Report: Ray-J To Seek Help To Deal With Whitney Houston’s Death

 Report: Ray-J To Seek Help To Deal With Whitney Houston's Death

 

 

 

 

Radaronline is reporting that singer Ray-J has agreed to get counseling to help him deal with the death of Whitney Houston.  Whitney Houston, who was found deceased in the Beverly Hilton Hotel on February, 11, was Ray-J's on-again/off-again girlfriend.  The pair never publicaly acknowledged the relationship.  Since the singer's death, Ray-J has had a very difficult time coping with it.  Ray-J is saying Whitney was the love of his life and he apparently can't come to terms with the loss.  

 

Brandy, his sister, has been a shoulder for him to lean on during this time, but she can only help him so much.  Ray is saying he doesn't know if he can ever listen to her music again, especially the song, "I Will Always Love You".  Since he is having such a difficult time dealing, Brandy has asked him to seek counseling and he has agreed.  He is surrounded by family.  He doesn't refer to Whitney in the past tense and doesn't know what to do with this void in his life.
