TV Scoop: Cissy Houston Would Not Be Down If Whitney Was An Actual Lesbian, Whitney’s Brother Admits He Got Her Hooked On Drugs.

Tuesday, January 29th, 2013

TV talk show queen Oprah Winfrey sits down with gospel singer and maven to the Houston family, Mrs. Cissy Houston, to discuss her new memoir “Remembering Whitney”.

Cissy finally addresses the gay chatter that are LEGENDARY of the iconic pop star, particularly her relationship with a well-known lesbian Robyn Crawford. The in depth interview aired on Oprah’s new network OWN last night, and Cissy talks very candidly about her disdain for Robyn entering Whitney’s life, her rumored sexual orientation. And how Cissy would have disagreed if Whitney was in fact gay.

The fact Cissy is 102 her feelings towards gays, or more importantly her rumored gay daughter, doesnt offend me personally. She comes from a different time. But I will say it gives a little bit more insight into what Whitney was dealing with with the pressure of the world, and her family, on her shoulders.

New Jersey Tax Payers Scream Foul Over Private Funeral/Viewing Services For Whitney Houston

Friday, February 17th, 2012

As I feared, angry Whitney Houston fans are leaning towards the pissed off side of the untimely death now that Whitney Houston’s family had not only originally requested a six block barrier around the small family church. But, is also now asking for even more distance from the fans and the body of an American icon.

Per CBS N.Y.:

Security has been very tight around the funeral home in order to give the family privacy. Police have also closed down Martin Luther King Boulevard. Near the funeral home fans are no longer allowed near the inner perimeter that’s been set up around the church, 1010 WINS’ Steve Sandberg reported.

As three limos pulled out of the funeral home with a police escort fans were pushed away and moved up the street behind barricades. According to CBS 2’s Christine Sloan, that’s when tempers started to flare.

“I’m a taxpayer in the city … born and raised in this city … They should stop treating us like animals. We’re taxpayers … We made this lady who she is today,” resident Floyd Bishop said.

“Cissy Houston should come out and wave to us and say thank you. She shouldn’t have them keep us away. We bought her music. We helped succeed in what she had done over the years,” added Charlene Williams.

“Taxpayers paying for all this, treating us like we’re from the street or something. Make no sense,” resident Shawn Holsted said.

I understand the Houston’s feel like they’ve shared Whitney enough with the world, but it’s not wise to block out fans that have supported the wonderful star throughout the years.

Whitney Houston Was Tapped To Become A Judge On ‘X Factor’

Sunday, February 12th, 2012

Arguably one of the best voices of our generation, Whitney Houston has died. And though rumors continue to swirl regarding the cause, all evidence appears to show that Houston was on the path of cleaning up her life and taking new career opportunities.

The recent gossip over the past few weeks was that Creator of “The X-Factor” Simon Cowell, was trying to land Beyonce as a celebrity judge. And though Cowell came out to publicly denounce the news, it seems Whitney was primed and ready to join the singing competition.

Per The Hollywood Reporter:

The pop diva, who performed on the U.K. version of The X Factor in October 2009, is said to have been approached to join the Fox talent series, according to a source close to the show.

Mariah Carey has remained under consideration since the initial casting of the show, though Cowell has gone on record with assumptions that the singer is too busy with her family life to participate.

Reps for Houston and Cowell did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Fox declined to comment.

Sunday, February 12th, 2012

Last night the world lost a musical gem. Late yesterday evening, news swept the internet that legendary songstress Whitney Houston has died. While the world has sat back and watched the “I’m Your Baby Tonight,” singer succumb to the pressures of entertainment industry.

Though there’s been no cause of death rendered, here’s what’s known.

1. Bobbi Kristina showed up on the 4th floor of the Beverly Hilton several hours after Whitney’s death. Officers informed her no one was allowed to see the body — BK screamed, cursed and demanded to see her mother.

2. No illegal drugs have been found in the hotel room where Whitney Houston died — at least not yet — but prescription drugs were present, and it’s possible the singer drowned in the bathtub.

3. Paramedics performed CPR but it did not work and she was pronounced dead at 3:55 PM.

4. Whitney Houston “partied heavily” last night at the Beverly Hilton hotel where she was staying, drinking and chatting loudly with friends in the bar.

Industry Bit: Adele’s 21 On Pace To Become Bigger Success Than “The Bodyguard SDTK”

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

It looks like UK songstress Adele has plenty to be happy about. Not only has she collected accolades for having one of the best albums in quite sometime, she’s also now in the same speaking breathe as Whitney Houston.

Per Billboard:

And this week is no different, as her “21″ album hits its 17th week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart (95,000; down 9%). “21″ has been No. 1 longer than any other album since “The Bodyguard” soundtrack wrapped a 20-week run at No. 1 on the chart dated May 29, 1993.

Could Adele do it? Only time will tell. But man what a comeback.
