Raffles Van Excel Not Suspicious In Whitney Houston Death Investigation?

Raffles Van Excel Not Suspicious In Whitney Houston Death Investigation?

 

 

 

Raffles Van Excel, the man who some have suspected of selling Whitney Houston's photo in the casket and susposedly wiping down the room  the day Whitney died is presumably free and clear of any suspicions or removing cocaine.  A few weeks ago, it was reported that van Excel told a Dutch newspaper that he did clean the room the Whitney died but didn't say what was removed.

 

Apparently TMZ is reporting that van Excel is not under any investigation for removing cocaine from the room as some cocaine was found in the room.  Some reports had surfaced last week that cocaine was removed and van Excel was being tagreted by police.  It is not the case.  He will go to the Beverly Hills PD next week with a lawyer to clear up everything.

Hello, My Name Is BOBBI KRISTINA BROWN, Not So Much?

 

 

 

Whitney Houston's, 19-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, is already making adult decisions for herself.  TMZ is reporting that she wants to change her name to Kristina Houston.  She has reportedly been telling friends that she wants the name change because of its association with her father, Bobby Brown.  She has been telling friends that she had been wanting to make the change since her parents split, but Whitney would not allow her to do so.

 

Now that her mother is gone she feels that now is the time to make the change.  She has made this decision with a clear mind and there is no word when she will officially make the change.

Whitney Houston Death Investigation Update

Whitney Houston Death Investigation Update

 

 

 

The coroner the did Whitney Houston's autopsy has yet to release the official cause of the death of Whitney Houston.  There has been much speculation that Whitney may have died of a deadly mix of prescription pills and alcohol.  Some reports were stating that her death would be ruled an "accident".

 

Now the L.A. Coroners Office is receiving calls and emails from people claiming to be Whitney's family and some claiming to be from Bobby Brown's family claiming that Whitney may have been murdered.  TMZ says at least one person says they have information to support the murder theory.  

 

The person claims that a family member may have been the cause of Whitney's demise, but had no proof to support the claim.  The Coroner's office hasn't confirmed if the calls came officially from Whitney's family

 

The Coroner has previously said there were no signs of foul play.  An official cause of death can't be determined until toxicology reports are returned.

The Movie Sparkle Headed For Fast Release

The Movie Sparkle Headed For Fast Release

 

 

 

 

Whitney Houston's last on-screen performance, 'Sparkle', is in the editing phase and and TMZ reported that  Sony Studios is trying to make sure that nothing gets leaked..  The movie may also be getting an earlier release date than August 17, 2012 and reports are surfacing that they may release it as early as May 2012.

 

This was supposed to be a part of Whitney's big comeback along with making an album, which was also being worked on by the singer.  Whitney is getting rave reviews of her performance from other costars of the movie.  Jordin Sparks talked about working with Whitney this past week at the Essence Luncheon:

 

'The first day she got [to the set] she’s scolding me, and I’m thinking, this is the best day ever,” she said of their time on Sparkle. “She went from being this unreachable supernova pop star to my costar, friend and someone who was like a mentor to me. It was a gift and an honor to play opposite Whitney Houston in the film.”

 

Co-Star Derek Luke reflected on Whitney Houston's performance in 'Sparkle' at the Independent Spirit Awards:

 

"The beautiful thing about being in 'Sparkle' is that we had something that was recorded that I can hold onto, and in that time, me and my wife and Whitney … the other cast, we really bonded," he shared. "Whitney did an amazing job, so I can't wait for people to see it and there's no great way to go out, but what a performance she had."

 

 

'Sparkle' was set to originally begin filming in 2001 with Aaliyah starring in the movie but the singer's untimely death put a hold on to production of the movie at the time.   In an interview with The Insider back in November 2011, Whitney said:

 

 

About Aaliyah: 'God has his own time…and I have to put it in that perspective".  She continued, "Aaliyah was absolutely perfect..and we were gonna do this thing…and then {it} just happened". " Very sad and very memorable moment for me."  "I remember crying fiercely and profusely".

 
 

She went on to say that it plagued her for 10 years  and she knew when the time was right, it would come back together.  She said American Idol alum Jordin Sparks was 'perfect'.

 

The movie loosely based on the singing group 'The Supreme's.  Some have even said that Whitney's performance was so good that she could get an Oscar nod!
