Whitney Houston

As we all know from the lovely people at Behind the Music, Bobby Brown has never been content to share the spotlight with his ex-wife Whitney Houston, even if she was/is a million times more talented than he is.

It's still yet to be seen if Whitney Houston's much-anticipated comeback will be a lasting success, but one thing is clear: the diva can still draw a crowd.

Houston's two-part interview with Oprah, which aired earlier this week and was the premiere of this season of The Oprah Winfrey Show, drew huge ratings.

Ratings for the episode were up 45 percent from last season’s premiere and were they highest they've been for almost two years.

If Susan Boyle isn't the woman of the year we don't know who is.

For a long time now, we've been hearing rumors about Whitney Houston's new album in the works. We've waited and waited and wondered if she still had it in her. The wait is over.

I Look to You, which is her sixth studio album, and the first in seven years, arrives today.

Ticketless fans have been warned to stay away from Michael Jackson's star-studded memorial service amid fears of riots.

Los Angeles police have urged people not to head to the Staples Center in the city's downtown area for tomorrow's event unless they are guaranteed entry.

Authorities fear that up to one million fans will descend on the city.

More than 1.6 million people entered a lottery to get tickets, but only 17,500 were successful.

And iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii…

For the first time in a long time, this is a remake we’d love to see.

Which probably means it won’t happen.

Rihanna is reportedly taking meetings this week about a proposed remake of 1992’s classic tale of love, obsession, duty and music; The Bodyguard.

Last night’s Grammys was a mix of good (T.I. and JT bringing all that baby daddy goodness to one performance), the bad (when is Katy Perry’s fifteen minutes of one-hit wonderfulness going to be up?) and the ugly (Natalie Cole, we need to talk).

U2 kicks things off with “Get On Your Boots” accompanied by a jumbotron with their lyrics. “It’s Karaoke. Alright!” our friend Natalie enthuses. We lack her keenness. The Edge is still jamming but the boys aren’t in Joshua Tree anymore. They’re starting to really show their age.

She may not have sang live at the Super Bowl in 1991, but Whitney Houston did take to the stage last night at a pre-Grammy party honoring Clive Davis. And apparently she rocked it.

She's already announced that she's not going back to ex-husband and life-long bad decision Bobby Brown, and last night's performance is apparently the next step in the singer's comeback.

We told you yesterday, we were a little disappointed to discover that J-Hud was pulling an Ashlee Simpson during the National anthem on Sunday. 

Then, this morning, we were awakened by an email from our dear friend Jennifer who told us that, like Jennifer Hudson, pre-crack Whitney Houston lip-synced her legendary performance at the 1991 Super Bowl too.

We would never want to belittle Jennifer Hudson after the tragedy she’s gone through...

But we’re a little disappointed.

During her performance of the Star-Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl, which was amazing and beautiful, we asked our friends Ana and Natalie if they thought she was lip-syncing and they both said "no." Wanting the best for J-Hud, we went with it.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
