I don't understand, what's the rush? 
All these damn hidden agendas.
I know exactly what you mean. Ray J. ain't special at all oh my Lord. Some people wanna romanticize him because of his "sorrow for Nippy". Fuck outta here.

Just like the Jackson family, there's a little too much chumminess with the media, IMO . I just saw the funeral pics in Hello magazine. I just seems like overkill considering the media made Whitney's life a living hell.
But then again, i'm sure her family wants to counter the bullshit that is out there right now. And at least they are giving the interview to someone who was friendly with Whitney. | |

OWN needs to boost its ratings, and a year from now the Whitney death story will not garner as much attention as it does now. | |

I can kinda understnand why it's so early. It's a new story up every up everyday. Myabe they just want to clear things up.
But I would rather see Cissy or Michael instead of Pat. | |

I rather it be just Cissy. Some folks are speculating Krissy might've called the interview but for some reason I don't buy it. [Edited 3/3/12 11:08am] | |

I still don't believe the Whitney was broke rumors, and her manager quickly shot that down as soon as the stories started to surface shortly before her death. If Whitney was broke, she could have easily made money. Whitney never really pimped herself out there to make money. She never acted like someone who really needed cash. Her last album was 2009 and the one before that was 2002. Whitney was "Just" getting back to movies. She could have done several movies by now since she left Bobby in 2006. Whitney could have easily wrote a book, did another album/tour, do plenty of movies, appear on a tv show, endorse a product, attach her name to songs she didn't even write etc. But she wasn't doing any of that, she lays low for the most part, not really on her grind to rget more coins. | |

Good performance, but I would have prefferred Whitney sing it herself. I can only take Mary J's screaming for so long. | |

^^^^ I know its only a snippet but it looks like big O is going to perpetuate the ol myth that Bobby corrupted Whitney Houston. I hope that's not the case. | |

has anyone seen this yet? ---------------------------------- Whitney Houston: First Woman With Three Albums In Billboard 200's Top 10
This week, the late Whitney Houston becomes the first woman to place three albums in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart at the same time.
"Whitney: the Greatest Hits" holds at No. 2 with 174,000 (down less than 1% according to Nielsen SoundScan), "The Bodyguard" soundtrack jumps 38-6 (47,000; up 176%) and "Whitney Houston" motors 37-9 (30,000; up 72%).
She's also found at No. 16 ("I Look to You," 19,000; up 109%), No. 30 ("My Love Is Your Love," 15,000; up 312%), No. 39 ("I'm Your Baby Tonight," 13,000; up 262%), No. 105 ("The Preacher's Wife," 5,000; down 30%), No. 126 ("Just Whitney," 4,000; up 57%), No. 133 ("Whitney," 4,000; down 43%). One more title is at No. 73. It's a three-CD bundle of "Baby," "My Love" and "Just Whitney." It sold 7,000 (up 423%).
HOUSTON'S ALBUM SALES CLIMB
In total, for the week ending Feb. 26, Houston's albums sold 320,000 (up up 29% compared to the previous week's haul of 247,000). She also sold 373,000 tracks this week -- down 75% compared to the week previous (1.5 million). Since her death, she has sold 668,000 albums and 2.76 million tracks.
As physical stock of Houston's albums are finally reaching retail outlets, we see some of those older catalog sets make moves up the list. Since her death on Feb. 11, the bulk of her album sales have come from digital downloads, as most retailers didn't have physical copies of her albums on-hand.
This past week, downloads made up 8.4% of her total album sales. That's a steep drop from her digital share the week previous, when downloads were 54% of her overall album sum.
A HISTORIC TOP 10
Houston's placement of three titles in the Billboard 200's top 10 amazingly marks the first time in almost 44 years that an act has accomplished the feat.
The last time an act scored three simultaneous top 10 sets was on July 6, 1968, when Simon & Garfunkel were at Nos. 1, 2 and 10. That week, "Bookends" was tops, followed by "The Graduate" soundtrack in the runner-up slot and "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" at No. 10.
Billboard launched its first all-encompassing pop albums chart on Aug. 17, 1963 -- which combined both mono and stereo albums. Previously, we had separate tallies for mono and stereo recordings.
Since then, aside from Houston and Simon & Garfunkel, the only other acts to net three albums in the top 10 at the same time were the Beatles; Peter, Paul & Mary and Herb Albert & the Tijuana Brass. (All did it on various weeks between 1964 and 1966).
Herb Albert & the Tijuana Brass holds the record for the most concurrent top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, with four (April 4, 1966).
DON'T FORGET THE KING OF POP & THE FAB FOUR
Presently, the Billboard 200 ranks the week's biggest-selling albums in the U.S. -- regardless of their age. Thus, this is why Houston's self-titled 1985 debut is among more recently-released in the top 10 this week.
However, as of the chart dated Dec. 5, 2009, the Billboard 200 altered its rules to let older albums -- also known as "catalog" titles -- to chart alongside newer releases.
Thus, it must be noted that had the Billboard 200 allowed catalog albums to chart previous to then, both Michael Jackson and the Beatles would have claimed three simultaneous top 10 titles that year.
On the now-defunct Top Comprehensive Albums chart (which ranked both new and old albums), Michael Jackson posthumously notched three or more of the top 10 for seven different weeks after his death on June 25. For two of those frames (July 25 and Aug. 1) he owned an incredible six of the top 10 best-selling albums of the week.
Later that year, on Sept. 26, 2009, after the Beatles' reissued and remastered its studio albums on CD, the fab four earned five of the top 10.

^ I love that B&W photo of Whitney. Man she had such a beautiful face. Every pic she took, she looked marvelous. Even her bad photos were pretty. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE UGLY. YOU JUST HAVE BAD LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO MIRRORS AND SUNLIGHT!
RIP Dick Clark, Whitney Houston, Don Cornelius, Heavy D, and Donna Summer.  | |

Exclusive Whitney Houston's Will -- Updated in 2004-- Other Reports WrongEXCLUSIVE- Whitney Houston updated her will in 2004. All reports otherwise today are wrong. The will names daughter Bobbi Kristina as her sole heir and mother Cissy Houston as executor. Today in Atlanta probate court, I am told by insiders, the family agreed to let Pat Houston, Whitney’s sister in law, become executor. Cissy Houston was appointed co-trustee. The 2000 codicil from “Inside Edition” picked by the New York Post “is not her latest will.”

Whitney Houston left everything to her 19-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina. The pop superstar's will doesn't mention specific assets, but leaves all of her furnishings, clothing, personal effects, jewelry and cars to her surviving children. Bobbi Kristina was her only child. Inside Edition first reported the will, filed in Atlanta, on Wednesday. Houston's money will be put in a trust. Bobbi Kristina will get part of it upon turning 21, more of the money at age 25 and the balance at age 30. Houston's trustees can give her money from the trust for various purposes, including tuition, to buy a home and to start a business. The will was signed on Feb. 3, 1993, about a month before Houston gave birth to her daughter. The 48-year-old died Feb. 11 in California.
