What Did You Think About Oprah’s Interview With Whitney Houston’s Family?


The NY Daily News reports that the former Queen of talk, Oprah Winfrey has landed the first interview with Whitney Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown.

According to the NY Daily News, the 18-year-old will share her “personal memories” of her mother and how she’d like her to be remembered. Oprah also sat down with Whitney’s most trusted confidants, her brother Gary Houston and sister-in-law, Pat. The interviews took place in Atlanta, where Bobbi Kristina once shared a townhouse with her mother.

Winfrey’s team also said the family addressed the “rumors and speculation” that have surfaced in the wake of Houston’s death on the eve of the Grammy Awards in February.

Houston was found unresponsive in the bathroom of her suite at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Feb. 11, the night before the Grammys.

The special will air on Oprah’s OWN cable network on March 11.

Funeral Home Knows Who Took Photo of Whitney Houston in Casket


Funeral home owner Carolyn Whigham says she knows who took the photo of singer Whitney Houston that was displayed on the cover of the National Enquirer. Whingham, who has known the Houston family for decades, held a press conference yesterday in Newark, NJ, to clear her name.

“I want to clear my name and my funeral home,” said Whigham, who said she had received dozens of threatening emails and was also spit on following “false and unsubstantiated rumors.”

The photo showed Houston wearing a purple dress and resting in an open casket. It ran under the headline “Whitney: The Last Photo!” The issues captions declared Whitney was buried in $500,000 worth of her favorite jewels. The gossip rag sold out quickly, and some say the photo may have earned the photographer a quick $500K.

Whigham (pictured left) was the flamboyant figure at Whitney’s opulent funeral, wearing a gold jacket and white pants, in the live video feed from New Hope Baptist Church on Feb. 18.

She said the funeral home’s investigation revealed that the picture was taken on Feb. 17, a day before the homegoing services. Whigham said a security detail from Nippy Inc., the singer’s management company, was with the singer’s body around the clock while it was at Whigham.

Wingham is considering taking legal action.

Bobby Brown’s Sister is Claiming “Foul Play” in Whitney Houston’s Death


Bobby Brown’s sister, Leolah Brown is not believing Whitney Houston’s death was accidental.

According to Access Hollywood she said: ”I believe Whitney’s death was not accidental. No.” However, she refuses to speculate about who she thinks is responsible by stating: ”My attorney has advised me not to get into that at all, but, it’s very important to know that she did not just pass away like that. No. And if it’s the last thing that I do, I’m going to find out what truly happened to my sister.”

Sounds like Whitney’s former sister-n-law wants to launch an investigation and apparently, she isn’t the only one who suspects foul play. All kinds of stories are circulating the internet since Whitney Houston passed away on February 11, hopefully in the end the truth will prevail.

According to E News online, the pop icon’s death will be ruled an accident. The pop icon’s sudden death on Feb. 11 is expected to be officially ruled an accident, a source with knowledge of the ongoing investigation confirms exclusively to E! News.

And that appears to be just what those close to Houston suspected would happen.

While the actual cause of death was temporarily listed as “deferred” on Houston’s death certificate pending the result of toxicology tests, “nothing suspicious” has been found to connect any physicians or other people of interest to Houston’s case and the inquiry is nearing completion, the source says. Plus, “she had no marks on her body whatsoever to indicate a struggle, and she was the furthest thing from trying to kill herself.

Sources have told E! News that Houston had prescriptions for antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications, and a handful of pill bottles were reportedly found in her room at the Beverly Hilton, where she was found dead in the bathtub.
