There is talk of her being linked to the 'Sparkle' remake either as one of the producers or actress. She owned the rights to the remake speculated and wa set to produced with Aaliyah starring when trajedy struck.
I agree she should have done more movies and she had several scripts that she came close to do , i.e working with Will smith, Lena Horne Biopic and a few others. she is one of the few singers turned actresses including Diana Ross who have done amazingly well plus little known fact, she owned her onw production house, 'Brownhouse Productions' that produced the hits:
The princess Diaries I and II starring Anne Hathaway and Julie Rothers The cheetah Diaries I nad 11 Cinderella.
It's quite a feat that she is an artist of many talents and have done well in various aspects of her career from being one of the first Black models on Seventeen Mag, modelling, singing, acting and producing. | |

I asked why Whitney Houston wasn't mentioned with Madonna, Prince and MJ. Not Why MJ wasn't mentioned with Prince, Madonna and Whitney. We all know Michael collected 8 Grammys in one night.
Nobody cares about Awards and crap. It's about the music. | |

Oh lawd . This thread will never end now.
We all know how much MJ has achieved, I think a lot of us MJ stans on here remind the orgers on here ad nauseum actually lol but this aint about Mike.
Let Whitney and her fans enjoy talking about Whitney and her achievements . People are always giving Whit a hard time on here, let them gloat a little lol.

why would someone want a discussion to die? if you are not interested in it, avoid it like the plague, seems the sensible thing to do than to come into it to bitch about why it won't die. lol! | |

gotcha but I didn't expect that on a Prince bbs where most of the people who post at least to me are music snobs re that someone has to either influece style or play an instrument to matter in the music world!
But you are right, there are alot of 'undercover' Nippy fans. Thats why she has been so successful and can continue to sell 30yrs into a career. | |

"Sparkle" would be great, but what role would she play if she were to actually take part in the movie as an actress I wonder? She is a bit old to play one of the sisters. She would have been perfect for it about 15-20 years ago though.
And yes I did know that Whitney was involved with the "Princess Diaries" movies. Smart business move. Whitney aint no dummy that's for sure! lol
About Whitney's modeling career, it seems to be overlooked. I often forget she was a model but I really think her looks are underrated. She was SO beautiful when she was younger, she still is, but she was so pretty when she was younger. I remember being like 8 or 9 years old and telling my Mom I wanted teeth like Whitney Houston lmao. Her teeth are perfect.

Yes, her many varied careers are oftentimes overlooked or not known. A sampling of some of the comments in this very thread is indicative of that as well as many h ere still thinking she sings pop/ac tunes. Interesting that so many like to give opinions of her and are clueless about her Grammy winning cd, 'My love is your love' or her gospel cd'The Preacher's wife' sndtrack.
Sparkle Yes, she's too old to play any of the sisters. Perhaps the mom or a part created. She owned the rights to the movie via her BrownHouse Production but I'm hearing the script may be reworked. | |
