That and Take A Bow were listed on the Sony/ATV site when I looked years ago. The webpage doesn't even list everything they have, just a small selection.

Did ya know that Sony/ATV own the Neighbours theme tune? lol

This story just gets sadder and sadder. Never in a million years would I imagine Whitney Houston in this position. You would think with all the stories we've heard in the las 50 years since Rock and Roll started by the times we go to I'd say the late 80's came around, stars would now how manage their money but they keep falling into the same traps. Such a damn shame. disbelief


"A fool and his money shall soon part." Where is the common sense?

For real
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

It doesn't matter who released it. The publishing is a different thing. Time/Warner administer MJ's Mijac catalogue of his own songs for example. If you look at album credits a lot of the time individual songs on the same albums are licensed by 2 or 3 different publishing companies. I think it's the songwriters that determine who or what gets those rights.

I dunno if Madonna has any hand in publishing of her material now.


she has for some time... webogirl publishing


Actually, Madonna did not fully get into the publishing game until the late 1980's; however, when Warners gave Madonna her own record label (Maverick), she was savvy enough to treat it as a serious label deal and signed artists like Alanis Morissette and Barenaked Ladies, so she got a massive cut of all those artists record sales. This doesn't even include the money she got from touring, from sponsorship (Versace), and from her actual book publishing deals (for her "Sex" book and later for her children's books).

That article mentioned Celine Dion getting royalties as a songwriter, but to my knowledge, she doesn't write any music either. However, she has made up for that with her Vegas shows.

Now Janet and Mariah are both raking in songwriting royalties by the boatload. That's why they both haven't had to tour that extensively over the years (though Janet has toured more often than Mariah).

I regret not having been a songwriter myself. I could have written crap like "Laffy Taffy" or LFO's "Summer Girls" and raked in "zillions of dollars", or at least had created something that gave me enough royalties each year to replace my income from my job. Then again it's not too late; I have an idea for a song which I was going to call "Plumber's Crack." It would be about hot bootylicous babes whose thongs can be seen over their jeans.

WEBO Girl has been around since the first Album all of Madonna's Writing credits on that Album carry that publishing company.

and ATV only owns the publishing share of Babyface... Madonna owns her share of Take a Bow

Houston still owns a beautiful home in suburban Atlanta, but moved in with Cherelle at least temporarily for an extended party last fall eek



My sister lives in the area of Whitney's home, and has seen her occasionally at the neighborhood gas station, filling up like a normal Jane. She apparently always is extraordinarily polite and smiles at everyone, a pleasant lady...but what struck my sister is that she is nearly always dressed "casual" to the point of being totally disheveled, her wig always looks crooked and matted, the Mercedes that she takes out has been dented for the past 2 years, and the one time she saw Whitney with her daughter, that chile's hair wasn't combed, and looked like it hadn't been for a couple of days sad ...that is just NOT the beautiful Whitney I remember and used to be inspired by...what the hell happened???


Awhile back,I saw a photo of Whitney at a gas station in Atlanta.A fan approahced her and she allowed him to take a picture with her.Needless to say,she wasn't looking her "best" disbelief
