Watch: Tyler Perry On Whitney Houston: 'I Sensed... A Death Day Coming'
23 May 2013 7:22 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Before she passed away tragically in February 2012, Whitney Houston had been a good friend of Tyler Perry's. Whitney was open with him about her struggles and addiction, and, as her friend, Tyler wanted to help Whitney in any way he could -- and he certainly tried. But his attempts to help couldn't save the troubled singer.
In this clip from Tyler's upcoming appearance on "Oprah's Next Chapter," he opens up about his friendship with Whitney and reveals how he tried to help her through her addiction, beginning with the first moment she spoke candidly with him while the two were dining at a restaurant.
"I felt a huge responsibility for her," Tyler says. "From the first day we sat down in that restaurant and had a conversation where she was so open with me, I felt a responsibility to do all I could to help her."

19 May 2013 7:49 PM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Los Anegles, May 20: Singer Beyonce Knowles says she always wanted to be rich and famous like late singer Whitney Houston.
Knowles, 31, often told her mother that she would grow up to become like Houston, who died after drowning in her bathtub reportedly following a cocktail of marijuana, cocaine and prescription drugs last year.
Knowles, who performed at Us Super Bowl 2012, was starstruck when she saw the late singer when she performed at the same event in 1991.
"I turned to my mom and said, 'Oh my God, she's awesome!' My mom said, 'Yeah, baby, she is.' And I said, 'One day I'm going to be like that too.' My mom said, 'Yeah, baby, whatever.'" Hello magazine quoted Knowles as saying.

Amber Holcomb may have gotten precious little screen time leading up to Vegas Week on Season 12 of American Idol, but rest assured there were plenty of musical moments percolating in the Texas teenager’s car.
Amber stopped by TVLine HQ to talk about how she prepared for her breakout Top 40 Week performance of “My Funny Valentine,” why she didn’t break a sweat tackling Whitney Houston’s “I Believe in You and Me” and what her struggle to remember her lyrics during Beatles Week meant to her song-choice strategy later in the competition.

Getting labeled as the female version of One Direction, the ladies of Fifth Harmony have been keeping busy since coming in third place on The X Factor last season.

I recently caught up with the group (Lauren Jauregui, Camila Cabello, Dinah Jane Hansen, Normani Hamilton, and Ally Brooke Hernandez), and we chatted about their most challenging and favorite cover songs they performed on the Fox series, and if they would ever collaborate with the other group that got noticed--the boys of Emblem 3!

Woman kicked off plane for singing Whitney Houston song -- non-stop
14 May 2013 12:57 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Everyone has had the experience of sitting next to an annoying person on a long plane flight.
But has anything ever been as bad as a woman singing Whitney Houston's classic song, "I Will Always Love You"? Keep in mind, the woman didn't just sing this love anthem once -- she sang it repeatedly, to the point where the plane was forced to make an emergency landing.
The American Airlines flight from Los Angeles to New York City was diverted to an emergency landing, where law enforcement personnel escorted the woman away. Frighteningly, the woman was still singing her ode to Whitney as she exited the aircraft. There is no word as to whether the woman was drunk or otherwise incapacitated at the time.
Although it's fortunate that there is a video to record this insanity, the person behind the footage might want to stay quiet. There are plenty »

Woman Kicked Off Flight for Singing Whitney Houston Nonstop
13 May 2013 11:36 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
This is an American Airlines flight, not a damn karaoke bar! Or a Southwest flight! One passenger learned this lesson the hard way, when she was removed from a cross-country domestic flight after she would not stop singing Whitney Houston's 1991 hit "I Will Always Love You" (or Dolly Parton's 1974 original "I Will Always Love You." It's hard to decipher to nuances of her performance as she was being dragged off the plane.) The six-hour flight from Los Angeles to New York was forced to make an emergency landing in Kansas City in order to eject the Whitney Houston of coach.

Grammy Awards Set for Jan. 26
13 May 2013 6:12 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
The 56th annual Grammy Awards will air live on CBS Jan. 26, as expected.
The calendar move had been anticipated as the Grammys, like many other winter awards shows, move out of the way of coverage of the Feb. 7-23 2014 Winter Olympics. The most recent Grammys took place Feb. 10.
Jan. 26 represents the last Sunday on the calendar before the Feb. 2 Super Bowl, with the Olympics beginning the ensuing Friday.
CBS and the Recording Academy confirmed that the move to January was temporary, setting the 57th annual Grammys in 2015 for Feb. 8.
Last year’s Grammys drew 28.3 million viewers, a year after the kudofest garnered 40 million, the weekend of Whitney Houston’s passing. »

"The Voice" results are in and Justin Rivers, Karina Iglesias, Cathia and Caroline Glaser are going home.
It was the first live elimination ceremony for "The Voice" Season 4 and coaches Blake Shelton, Shakira, Usher and Adam Levine each had to choose one of their team members to be eliminated. "The Voice" results revealed which two contestants America saved from each team and then the coaches had to choose between the remaining two.
But before "The Voice" results were revealed, there was a strange moment. Host Carson Daly admitted that there were some issues with the online and text votes this week. The CEO of Telescope, the company that handles the voting for "The Voice" and many other reality competition shows, joined Carson on stage and said that because of the inconsistencies in online and texting, the votes cast via those methods were not counted for any contestant.
