In Case You Missed It: Billboard’s Underwhelming Whitney Houston Tribute

Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina paid tribute to her late mother Sunday night during the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. Whitney died of a drug overdose on Feb. 11.

The tribute was underwhelming according to feedback on Twitter.com last night. Despite the pre-show hype indicating that Bobbi Kristina, a budding entertainer, would sing — she didn’t.

BK shed tears during Jordin Sparks’ stirring performance of “I Will Always Love You.” Afterwards, Bobbi K. took to the stage with her aunt, Pat Houston.

“I’m just blessed to have been in such an incredible woman’s life,” said Bobbi K.

HONEYMOON OVER: Facebook Opens BELOW IPO Price

Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, 28, married his longtime girlfriend, Priscilla Chan, in a secret ceremony at their $7 million Palo Alto, CA home on Saturday — one day after his Facebook IPO made him $10 billion dollars richer.

But the Zuckerbergs’ honeymoon is already over.

Just 2 days after Facebook’s Wall Street underwriters scrambled to purchase over 300 million shares to keep Facebook’s IPO afloat at $38, the stock opened 2 percent lower in pre-market trading this morning.

The social network made history with it’s initial public offering on Friday, but Morgan Stanley, Facebook’s chief underwriter, was forced to buy millions of shares to keep the stock at it’s opening price. While that type of stock manipulation may sound illegal, it is perfectly legal according to Wall Street analysts.

Now there are new concerns that Facebook stocks will start trading at below it’s IPO value when the bell rings on Wall Street at 9:30 a.m. If that happens, small time investors who purchased the stock on Friday will lose big.

Holly and Rodney Peete to renew their wedding vows

Please note that the following is a positive post…

Actress Holly Robinson Peete and her husband, former NFL quarterback Rodney Peete, will renew their wedding vows after 17 years of marriage atop the Empire State Building on Monday, reports Page Six.

Celebrity event-and-wedding planner Colin Cowie, who designed the couple’s 1995 LA nuptials, will also coordinate the private affair.

When Holly hits the red carpets in Hollywood, she is often photographed with only 3 of her children; Ryan, 12, Robinson, 7, and Roman, 5.

Holly and Peete are also parents to an autistic child, RJ, 13, who was diagnosed when he was 3. RJ is Ryan’s fraternal twin.

The Robinsons said RJ’s diagnosis hit them both very hard.

Holly said: “We went through this emotional connection, and we just cried in each other’s arms. We didn’t know what the hell this autism thing was. We were both in denial for a few weeks.” Rodney added: “I stayed angry and blamed the doctor and was still in denial—while Holly basically rolled up her sleeves and did what needed to be done.”
