Oprah Winfrey to interview Bobbi Kris.... March 3, 2012 | 9:00 am
Oprah Winfrey probably won't need to beg for Nielsen ratings later this month, when she sits down with Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only daughter of the late pop diva Whitney Houston.
Winfrey nabbed an exclusive interview with Bobbi Kristina -- who turns 19 on Sunday -- along with Whitney's brother Gary Houston and the late singer's sister-in-law and manager, Patricia Houston. The interview will air March 11 on OWN, Winfrey's cable network, as part of the "Oprah's Next Chapter" series.
According to an OWN news release, Bobbi Kristina will share "personal memories of her mom and how she would like the iconic superstar to be remembered. The family also addresses the rumors and speculation surrounding Houston's death."
PHOTOS: Whitney Houston, 1963-2012 Bobbi Kristina has been the subject of speculation herself, with numerous reports suggesting that she has spiraled downward since her mother's death.
During a Winfrey interview with Houston in 2009, the once chart-topping singer admitted buying "kilos" of cocaine, which she would freebase with her then-husband, Bobby Brown. Winfrey remained close with the Houston family and was among the celebrities invited to the singer's funeral in February.
OWN has struggled in the ratings and undergone behind-the-scenes strife since it premiered in January 2011. On Feb. 12 -- the day after Houston's death -- the former syndicated talk queen tweeted that followers should tune in to "Oprah's Next Chapter" "especially if you have a Nielsen box." Nielsen, which measures TV ratings, considered the tweet a violation of its rules. Winfrey promptly apologized.
Looks like she's found another way to get viewers.

******************************************************************************** This interview ought to be GOOD...I'm glad she chose Oprah. Oprah's last "sit down" interview with Whitney was on-point and real....It's got to be hard for Bobbi-Kris turning 19 on Sunday without her Mother being there...

Oprah tried to help Whitney, and now she's doing the same for Bobbi. I bet that girl is getting a LOT for this interview, even if she doesn't say much, which is what I expect. "You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

Is she going to ask her how she feels about her grandmother kicking out her adopted brother of 10 years after only weeks after her mothers funeral? | |

As info keeps coming out about this family they look more and more dysfuntional and more than the average family. | |

Ya know, I haven't been following this story much, but I have to say I question Oprah's judgement here. It was bad enough w/ MJ's kids, but at least they had the huge and (mostly) united Jackson clan watching her every move (do I have to mention Joe? ). This girl seems so alone and ripe for the picking. This just doesn't sit well for me. | |

Does this really surprise anyone? She was raised by two drug addicts and surrounded by family that looked the other way. [Edited 3/3/12 17:24pm] The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. | |

The Jacksons were trying to cash in on Michaels children... I will NEVER understand why any of them would sit down with someone who implied their family member was a pedophile and was not fit to be a father.. NEVER and were AWARE of her comments on him | |

It was hinted the family was really dysfunctional years prior to Whitney's death. | |

I said I questioned Oprah's judgement in these matters...after all, we're talking kids here. Whether the Jacksons were trying to cash in or not is rather besides the point for me, my point is that this girl seems to have even less protection than MJ's kids here and Oprah knows this; hence her moving in so quickly on an interview w/ her.
Whitney's only been dead a matter of weeks...let's not forget that.

definitely-I think the only sane one is Cissy and I know as old as she is it has to be extremely hard to hold all this together. I mean she's trying to straighten out Bobbi, deal with Aretha's headline stealing ass(and I love auntie rere, but it is what it is), deal with this casket photo thing and still try to keep her daughter's legacy intact. Damn shame! Oprah needs to call it quits! | |

The hints were definitely on point | |

I think she has people the same as Michaels children but the motive is different and that makes a different. She has her grandmother, she has her father etc. To me she exactly has alot more immediate family members than MJs kids... such as a father figure.
Either way... its very very sad. Oprah does not care she is just looking to make money. | |

Not to mention Dionne-God knows she's had her share of unfavorable headlines over the years | |

Tina Brown has been quiet. Leolah Brown has said "Bobbi Krissy is in danger" on TV. Bobby has been quiet. | |

Frankly how does anyone know what the motives are in either case for the families? Oprah wants ratings, that's clear enough.
The fact is, BK's father is an addict and frankly the grandmother raised Whitney, so that's hardly a ringing endorsement for good judgement IMHO. | |

Im not trying to throw Bobby under the bus cuz he and NE are favs of mine, but something tells me that with all this money at stake and with Bobbi being so young that Bobby will be in the mix some kinda way and not in a good way | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
You know what's telling though? Bobby's kids haven't gotten in trouble with the po-pos or gotten into drug addiction like their father once did (Bobby himself hasn't been in trouble with the law since about 2005). | |

Yes, they've all been quiet FOR NOW...call me cynical, but I don't think that will last. I hope it does for her sake, but it looks like this sitch has tons of crazy from all sides. | |

I can't see it...for some reason. But something bothers me about Whitney's in-laws (Pat and 'em). | |
