New Music: Whitney Houston, Jordin Sparks – Celebrate
New music, “Celebrate,” from the upcoming film remake of Sparkle, featuring the late Whitney Houston and Jordin Spark singing a midtempo duet. “Celebrate” is being promoted as Whitney’s “final” song. But we already know that Whitney’s estate (managed by PAt Houston) will somehow “find” other “final” songs recorded by Whitney in the days before she died.
Sparkle, the remake of the 1976 film starring Irene Cara, opens in theaters on Aug. 17.
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.

Bobbi Kristina to honor Whitney during Billboard Music Awards
Bobbi Kristina will take part in a tribute to honor her mother Whitney Houston during the upcoming 2012 Billboard Music Awards.
The program, which airs Sunday at 8/7c, will feature a musical tribute, and Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina is scheduled to participate. As you know, Bobbi Kristina is working on an upcoming album and she will likely perform one of her mother’s hit songs during the tribute.
Bobbi Kristina, who reportedly dropped her father’s last name, will also appear in a reality show on Lifetime network featuring members of the Houston family including Whitney’s mother Cissy Houston.
Whitney passed away on February 11 of a drug overdose and heart disease.
In Case You Missed It: Brandy – Behind The Music (Full video)
As you know, Brandy is not a friend of this blog. For that reason she gets no love from your auntie on this blog or in the streets. Unlike her gullible fans, I know a fraud when I see one. In this episode, she finally addresses the lie that she was married to her baby daddy. She basically admits that she was a slut who slept around and got pregnant.
To this day, Brandy refuses to take the blame for the tragic car accident that took the life of a mother — even though cell phone records shows she might have been on her phone when she slammed into the back of a woman’s vehicle at 65 miles per hour.
Through fake tears, Brandy said, “regardless of whose fault it was, I was in [an accident]… I didn’t wake up that day to be involved in a fatal car crash. I didn’t plan for that.”

Whitney’s Final Coroner’s Report Gives Rise to Misinformation
Yesterday, Whitney Houston’s final autopsy report was released to the media and others who immediately began misinterpreting the coroner’s findings. There is so much misinformation surrounding the autopsy report. Where do I begin?
First and foremost, Whitney died as the result of accidental drowning, meaning there was enough water in her lungs to interfere with the delivery of oxygen to her brain. The singer’s entourage found her face down and unresponsive in the bathtub of her suite at the Beverly Hilton hotel on Feb. 11.
According to the report, Whitney’s drowning death was preceded by a cocaine overdose. Cocaine was found in her system, and cocaine residue was found on a spoon and on a rolled up sheet of paper in her hotel suite.
Someone supplied Whitney with that cocaine, since she obviously didn’t procure it for herself. Many in the industry believe a close friend of hers supplied her with the drug.
Whitney was a chronic cocaine snorter, as evidenced by the finding of a perforated posterior septum, which means a hole in her nose caused by chronic cocaine use.
Whitney was also vain about her appearance. The coroner had to pry a brown lacefront wig off her head which was “firmly attached to her hair.”
The coroner’s report also noted Whitney’s McGhan breast implants (size: 230 cc).
A sex assault kit was performed on Whitney in the hotel room where she died. If she had sex prior to her death, semen might have been collected. But that’s not likely since she was found submerged in water.
Now let’s get to the misinformation that is circulating.
This morning, an Atlanta area radio morning show reported incorrectly that Whitney’s body was scalded in 93 degree water that caused her skin to peel off. That’s not true.
Full Sparkle Trailer featuring Whitney Houston

Rihanna wants to play Whitney Houston (Oh, the irony)
Struggling singer, and substance abuser, Rihanna is being considered to play the part of Whitney Houston in a biopic produced by The Press Association.
According to theLifeFiles blog, “other actresses being considered for the part include Vivica A. Fox, Jennifer Hudson, Meagan Goode, Jordin Sparks and Brandy.”
But 24-year-old Rihanna is at the top of the list of stars who are competing for the plum role.
“That would be something that I would have to give my entire life to do because I would want to really pull it off,” Rihanna told The Press Association. “That’s a huge, huge role and whoever does it has to do a good job.”
We have no doubt that Rihanna would do an excellent job drawing from her experiences as a somewhat talented singer whose once promising career was derailed by her dependency on drugs and alcohol.
