Sneak Peek: Whitney Houst...n ‘ET’

Whitney looks beautiful as usual. I can't wait to see the interview tomorrow! Do you know what time ET comes on? I've never fully seen the original Sparkle, but I will def be going to see this on opening night! Looks like this decade is going to be a lot like the 90s, she's going to be doing a lot of movies/film. I'm pretty sure after Sparkle, she'll be jumping right into the Waiting To Exhale Sequal.

Check your local listings, ET comes on at 7pm in some areas and 7:30pm in others.

I really believe that this movie will smash. She is looking awesome and nothing but good things have been said about her working on the set.

After this movie, i do believe you're right and she is gonna go straight into exhale 2.

Entertainment Tonight calls 'Sparkle' a comeback for Whitney Houston

AP A healthy and reflective Whitney Houston appeared on Entertainment Tonight with co-star Jordin Sparks to promote "Sparkle," the Motown-era tale currently being shot on the streets of downtown Detroit.

And judging by a live clip of Houston singing on set, she's still got her pipes.

"We are putting our hearts and souls into the project," Houston says. "It's bigger than we thought, what we're experiencing as a feeling and a vibe."

Houston comes across as a motherly figure to Sparks, whom she touts as sharing plenty of qualities with lead character Sparkle (other than the name).

"That face, that smile, the innocence, the love for music, the love for singing, her personality," Houston raves, stroking the younger actress's arm. "Just being Jordan and transferring that to Sparkle, it wasn't a hard transition."

Houston isn't just a star of the movie -- she's also the executive producer of the film. It's taken Houston and her partner 13 years to get "Sparkle" back into production. Honestly, it's just nice to have her back, isn't it? Watch the clip below.

WHITNEY HOUSTON RETURNS TO THE BIG SCREEN IN ‘SPARKLE’ REMAKE

Whitney Houston is making a sparkling comeback to the big screen. The legendary diva is executive producing and starring alongside Jordin Sparks in a remake of the 1976 Motown-era film Sparkle. “ET” went on set with Houston for her first big-screen role since The Preacher’s Wife in 1996.

“I got a call from my partner Debra Martin and she said, ‘You’re not gonna believe this, but Sparkle‘s been picked up and they want to do a film.’ And I was like, you’re kidding,” said the 48-year-old singer-actress.

She explained why the “American Idol” winner was perfect to play the role of her musical daughter. “She speaks for herself—the face, the smile, the innocence, the love for music, the love for singing,” said Whitney of her 21-year-old co-star. “Her personality just being Jordin and transferring that to Sparkle, it was not a hard transition.”

Sparks picked up some pointers from her on-screen mother. “I listened to her and I watched her and for her to be standing here and just telling me different things, I definitely want to take it to heart ’cause she’s been through so much—highs, lows, ups, downs, successes, different things like that—and it’s just so amazing to stand here and she’s still doing it.”

After all this? 13 years later? Are you serious?’ On what it’s like to work with someone she grew up admiring: JORDIN SPARKS: There are a lot of parallels between me and her. Growing up in the church. I was singing in church a lot. I sang in school and then this one thing changed my life. So I’m sitting here going, “I listened to her. I watched her and I saw all this stuff and for her to just stand here and telling me different things”.
