Oprah Lands 1st Interview With Whitney Houston’s Daughter
The NY Daily News reports that struggling talk show titan Oprah has landed the first interview with Whitney Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown.
According to the NY Daily News, the 18-year-old will share her “personal memories” of her mother and how she’d like her to be remembered. Oprah also sat down with Whitney’s most trusted confidants, her brother Gary Houston and sister-in-law, Pat. The interviews took place in Atlanta, where Bobbi Kristina once shared a townhouse with her mother.
Winfrey’s team also said the family addressed the “rumors and speculation” that have surfaced in the wake of Houston’s death on the eve of the Grammy Awards in February.
Houston was found unresponsive in the bathroom of her suite at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Feb. 11, the night before the Grammys.
The special will air on Oprah’s OWN cable network on March 11.
Oprah’s crown has been tarnished by poor ratings and traitors who jumped ship from her failing network OWN. In the past, the media seized upon the term “Oprahfication”, to describe Oprah’s powerful influence on pop culture. But it seems that Oprah has lost her magic touch.
Oprah walked away from her syndicated talk show Oprah, in May 2011 on the advice of a terminally ill boy who told her to end her show’s successful run at an even number of years: 25.
Now, the 58-year-old media Guru is trying to save her struggling OWN network by doing more of the face-to-face interviews that made her famous.

Essence Mag Blames Bloggers for Evelyn Lozada Criticism?
Yesterday I received an email containing a “pre-bridal” video of ‘Basketball Wives‘ cast member Evelyn Lozada preparing for her manufactured wedding to NFL player Chad Ochocinco this Summer.
I immediately sent the email to the trash bin without viewing the video. But Essence magazine posted the video on the front page of their website, where my good blog friend Gina viewed it.
Gina, owner of Whataboutourdaughters.com, wrote a scathing editorial about Essence magazine’s decision to post the video on its front page.
In her post, Gina blasted Essence.com for promoting a “bridal” photo shoot of Evelyn Lozada on the front page of the website. Gina referred to Lozada as “a hyperviolent, Black woman hating, foul mouth scourge.” And she asked where was the logic in highlighting the non-black Ms. Lozada on a website whose tag line is “Where Black women come first.”
In Case You Missed It: T.I. & Tiny: Family Hustle, episode 11
In last night’s episode of ‘T.I. and Tiny: Family Hustle‘ the OMG Girlz shoot their first music video for their hit single “Gucci This”. But the concerned father in T.I. objects to the girls’ skimpy attire, excessive makeup and wedge heels. “When I was fifteen, girls who wore wedges had smeared lipstick,” said T.I.
In this episode we finally get to see what’s really behind the obvious tension between T.I. and Zonnique, Tameka’s 15-year-old daughter by another man. It’s apparent that “Nique Nique” isn’t comfortable with T.I. trying to control her life, especially when she already has a father.
Khloe & Lamar’s Sex Swing Mishap
No one can deny that reality TV star Khloe Kardashian and NBA star Lamar Odom have a successful marriage. Unlike other people Kim Kardashian who fall in love on a whim, Khloe and Lamar got married for all the right reasons.
But even the most successful marriages hit a bump in the road. So how do they keep the fires burning? One good way is to try something new in the bedroom. Men are adventurous by Nature. They love to try new positions (and flavors) in bed.
In last night’s season 2 premiere of ‘Khloe & Lamar,’ Khloe hooks up a sex swing over her bed, and then invites her husband to take a ride with her. Click the link below to see what happens!
Khloe & Lamar airs Sundays on E! at 10/9c
In Case you Missed It: Braxton Family Values, Ep 14
On last Thursday’s episode of WE tv’s ‘Braxton Family Values‘, Mama Evelyn Braxton broke the news that her short term boyfriend, Doc, had proposed to her.
Evelyn first broke the news to her eldest daughter, Towanda Braxton — the responsible one — who grilled her mama about the proposal. “Well, what did you say?,” asked Towanda.
“I said, uh, ‘well, okay… it sounds good to me,’” Mama Evelyn replied.
“Mommy,” said a skeptical Towanda, “Who says ‘that sounds alright with me?’ Who says that?”
“He got the point,” said Evelyn. “He would take a ‘yes’ any kinda way he could!”
