Whitney, vice chancellor for student life and dean of students at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), will become the next president of Clarion University Thursday. She succeeds Joseph P. Grunenwald, who served Clarion in various positions for more than 30 years including the last seven as president. A perticular meet and greet with Whitney was held Tuesday."Clarion University is a great campus," she said, adding that it's a small university with a big impact. Throughout her 30 years in higher education, Whitney said she has met Clarion graduates. She said the students speak of the quality of their experience at the university.
Whitney has been vice chancellor and dean of students at the 30,000 student IUPUI since 1999. Previously, she was associate vice president for student life at the University of Texas at San Antonio. She began her academic career as an instructor at the University of Houston in 1980.She earned both a bachelor's of art degree in psychology and a master's degree in public administration from the University of Houston and a doctoral degree in higher educational administration from the University of Texas at Austin. Several reasons attracted Whitney to the area and the position, but a main reason was the stance the university took on its commitment to benefit the entire community. She said the fact the university is dedicated to continuing is commitment is what made her want to try for the position.

Also, Whitney added, she often hears people say, "I love Clarion.""It's personal and beyond anything I've seen," Whitney said.While she's excited to start her new adventure as president of Clarion, she can't help but to be nervous following Grunenwald."The guy is a legend," Whitney said, explaining that Grunenwald has played every position in the field. Before taking her new position, Whitney said she did research on Clarion. She said enrollment numbers for Clarion are growing and that could be attributed to thoughtful leadership."Clarion is a financially sound university, she said," Whitney said, adding "that doesn't happen by accident. It's a real quality indicator".

Whitney Houston at the MEN Arena, Manchester

2010-06-17T02:31:00.000-07:00

Diva Whitney Houston received a warm and highly motional welcome at Manchester’s MEN Arena on Wednesday night.

Fans had waited over two months to see the Nothing But Love tour after it was postponed in April when the singer was reported to have a respiratory infection.

And what should have been the UK opener instead brings the curtain down tonight on a tour that has certainly had more downs than ups.

It was a surreal experience.

What until recently would surely have been a sell-out performance filled only the lower tiers of the massive arena. Concert-goers were clearly nervous after poor reviews and the support acts tried in vain to warm up the wary audience.

Then the star herself took the stage.

Looking a shadow of her former self, the 46-year-old, dressed all in black with a long trench style coat, began with two songs from her new album before reminding us of her 25 years in music.

At times there were glimpses of the mega-star who has been one of the most successful artists over the last three decades. Her voice retains a lovely tone and on occasions the enormous power that she is so famous for threatened to win through.

However the singer, who has battled drug addiction, was visibly distressed, clearly breathless and there was a palpable relief in the auditorium when she reached the end of the set without serious mishap.

No-one could claim that this was a good performance - songs were interrupted frequently for the singer to compose herself - but there was an undeniable appeal in her vulnerability and spirit.

She was more comfortable with the up-beat pop numbers and I enjoyed her renditions of I Wanna Dance With Somebody and How Will I Know?

But it was her signature I Will Always Love You that will be remembered...the fragile star stopped midway through and just when it seemed she would leave the song unfinished, she was lifted by the crowd to continue.

2010-06-10T02:30:00.000-07:00

Looking sweaty and out of sorts, the singer was trashed by the country’s media, with one particularly harsh critic saying she ‘looked and sounded like a person who doesn’t have many years left to live’.

The 46-year-old also sparked gossip after her tight frock hugged around a suspicious belly bump. However, some ticket holders didn’t stick around long enough to notice amid claims that ‘many members’ of the audience walked out of the gig at the weekend.

Houston’s latest outing was slated by ‘all of the major media outlets’, said The Copenhagen Post. The poor show by the fallen star is the latest episode in a disastrous comeback which began on our shores last month, with many of her Nothing But Love shows dogged by illness and technical glitches.

Some British shows saw Houston abandon attempts to hit the high notes and move on to other songs, leaving fans demanding their money back.

Move over Tina Turner. Whitney Houston showed who the true diva was at the last of her London gigs - by poking fun at her ex husband Bobby Brown and throwing in some fancy footwork for good measure too.The singer, 46, who has battled through her recent gigs, stunned the crowd with a rendition of I Wanna Dance (With Some-body), giving her teenage dancers a run for their money with some pretty nifty moves.But she had the audience at the O2 in stitches when talking about her ex Bobby on Wednesday.
She said: "My daughter called me after hearing a rumour on the internet that he had died. But I said, 'Trust me, if that had happened, I'd definitely be the first to know.' "He called her and said I should tell the people tonight, it's not over yet."
Whitney then sent herself up when she later pointed to her throat.Referring to her voice in the third person, she said: "She's a little temperamental," before belting out her Bodyguard chart-topper I Will Always Love You. And it wasn't half bad.

The 46-year-old soul diva, who has fought a public battle against drug addiction, made her first UK TV appearance in 12 years on Sunday night's programme.

Questions were also raised about Houston's physical condition as she looked drowsy and did not speak clearly when being interviewed by host Dermot O'Leary.
Fans have inundated the show's official website to express their shock at the performance.
One fumed: "What a huge waste of her talent. People should watch and learn what harm one can do to ones self. I hope for Whitney and all her fans she gets a grip and rejoins this planet."
Another, using the name _kelcee_, said: "Not sure what was going on with whitney what a huge let down."

Her performance came a week after former Take That idol Robbie Williams sang his latest single Bodies in a wide-eyed and very heated performance.

X Factor judge Cheryl Cole also performed her new song Fight For This Love in the studio following a week of strong debate about whether or not she would sing live. Simon Cowell described her routine as "incredible".

Rikki Loney was evicted from the show this evening after losing out to Rachel Adedeji in the live head-to-head. Irish duo John and Edward Grimes won through to the next round of the competition but were booed vociferously by the studio audience.

Whitney Houston — I Look to You

2009-10-22T02:35:00.000-07:00

The queen of all big voiced songstresses is back, but unhappyly not in true diva form. Her voice hasn't totally crapped out on her after years of substance abuse and a tumultuous marriage to Bobby Brown, but the same can't be said for her production crew. I Look to You takes a page out of R. Kelly's manual for generic R&B and the results aren't pretty.
The few successes on this mediocre album tend to be the dance songs — particularly the first track, “Million Dollar Bill,” written and produced by Alicia Keys. It's a solid callback to days of Earth, Wind & Fire and it's a hopeful sign that the real Whitney Houston is back and ready to retake the throne from the likes of Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson.
And she is — but not really.
She can still out sing 80 per cent of the population and she sounds so happy to be singing again that it tugs at the heart, but getting R. Kelly to produce her tracks — creating barf-inducing ballads instead of sultry guilty pleasures, and making her sound like Mariah Carey circa 2006 — overshadows it all. When you're copying the diva songstress who, a decade ago, was copying you, clearly something has gone terribly wrong.
But for many of Whitney's older fans (Hi Dad!), she'll likely sound as fierce as she did 10 years ago. The title track, “I Look to You,” might very well cause middle-aged mothers and fathers to uniformly mortify their children by leaping off their sofas and weeping at the overwrought vocals and 10,000-piece orchestra.
Suffice it to say, the queen is back. It's just too bad her throne reigns over a mound of mediocrity.

At X Factor Wardrobe Malfunction Whitney Houston ‘Furious’

2009-10-20T08:04:00.000-07:00

The X Factor in Whitney Houston was left furious after her dress almost fell down during her appearance on Britain’s this past Sunday.
The pop superstar was belting out new song Million Dollar Bill when the strap on her long silver gown popped open.
Although Whitney quipped that “I sang myself out of my clothes”, the incident left her reeling — insiders say.
“She had steam coming out of her ears,” a source said. “One of her massive entourage covered her up in these enormous towels and took her away. It was odd, as though she couldn’t bear to be seen in the dress anymore.”
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!
Whitters apparently had Simon Cowell – who’s a judge on the X Factor – quivering in his boots!
Apparently the pop diva gave little Si a little telling off about his choice of song for one of his contestants.
Cowell gave Danyl Johnson Houston’s song I Didn’t Know My Own Strength to sing — before she’d even had a chance to perform it live herself.
“You’d never guess that anyone could leave Simon speechless — he usually has contestants quivering in their boots. But he got a taste of his own medicine with Whitney,” a source told Britain’s Daily Mirror.
“They had a lot of playful chemistry and got on like a house on fire,"

I am Tired Of Failin, Mike Tyson To Oprah

2009-10-13T11:58:00.000-07:00

In an emotional interview with Oprah Winfrey, Mike Tyson claimed to be a new man - one focused on his family. The former heavyweight boxing champion feared that the erratic behavior that has dominated his life for two decades would kill him within two years if he returned to it. Tyson opened up about most of his headline-grabbing actions over the years, including his years in prison, his tempestuous eight-month marriage to Robin Givens, his long addiction to drugs, the $400 million fortune he squandered, the 1997 comeback match in which he bit Evander Holyfield's ear, and -- for the first time -- the death of his 4-year-old daughter earlier this year. The key development in Tyson's life stems from what seems to be a newfound self-awareness following his participation in the movie "Tyson," a documentary about his life filmed as he went through rehab two years ago. "If I'm not conscious of who I am, I'm just going to let myself run (wild), and I'm going to destroy my beautiful family, and I'm going to destroy myself, and I don't want to go down that road any more," he said.Tyson ranged from terse to surprisingly candid as Winfrey asked the fallen champion about his checkered past, and he delivered eye-opening quotes about Givens and Holyfield while remaining somewhat tightlipped about the specifics of his daughter's death.On choosing not to know the details of his daughter's accidental death: "I don't know. I don't want to know. If I know ... [then] somebody's to blame for it, and if somebody's to blame for it, there are going to be problems." The quote seems to insinuate that he doesn't want to be mad at his ex-wife or any of his other children who might be found at fault for the freak accident in which daughter Exodus was found unconscious and tangled in a cord hanging from an exercise machine.On the "20/20" interview in which he sat idly while Givens called him manic-depressive and said that life with Tyson was "pure hell" and "torture": Tyson explained that the marriage was abusive "both ways" -- that he battered Givens, but that she abused him emotionally.On the Holyfield incident: "I was pissed off that he was such a great fighter ... I was just mad at him." Tyson said that after the incident, "I didn't feel guilty at all," and that the apology he delivered "wasn't sincere."On why he hasn't spoken to Holyfield since: "I see him sometimes, I think he's a little leery of me." Tyson added, "I just want to apologize. I've known him for such a long time, and I was just undisciplined. I was in a very competitive mood and I wanted so desperately to beat him for my own self-aggrandizement, and I was just upset."On whether his recent family-oriented, monogamous life is boring: "I know I don't have two more years to live if I live this life." (By "this life," he means his former hard-living world of drugs, women, and bankruptcy.)In all, Tyson was more candid than most athletes are willing to be in today's professional-sports landscape. But then, Mike Tyson has a lot more baggage to unload, too.

Whitney Houston tells Rihanna Not to Take Chris Brown Back

2009-09-25T03:30:00.000-07:00

Whitney Houston has just spoken out about theChris Brown incident, urging Rihanna not to take him back under any circumstances. It’s common knowledge that Whitney had a pretty volatile relationship with Bobby Brown for many years, but despite her misfortune in her love life, she doesn’t want Rihanna to make the same mistakes she did.

The National Enquirer reports, “When Whitney heard what had happened to Rihanna, she was close to tears. Right then she knew she had to contact her and urge her to get out of the relationship while she can. She made it clear that Rihanna should dump Chris.”

Whitney also made a public statement saying, “Don’t make the same mistakes I did. Whenever you let your heart rule your head, you are bound to run into trouble.” Wow. That’s probably the most succinct statement we’ve ever heard Whitney make. She may have been through the ringer, but she seems to know bad relationships when she sees them. We think this was a really nice gesture for Whitney to reach out to Rihanna like this.

Whitney Houston sued by stepmother

2009-09-25T03:22:00.000-07:00

Whitney's Daughter Convinced Her to Divorce Bobby Brown

2009-09-21T16:08:00.000-07:00

The votes are in...no one likes Bobby Brown. During a two part interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Tuesday Whitney Houston confessed that she finally left Bobby Brown after daughter Bobbi Kristina convinced her to.

She told Oprah, "She was just a kid - 13, learning to be a young woman - and I'd give her bits and pieces, but that Internet and that computer, man... She was like, 'Mum, did you see dad?' And she saw him with (other women), just crazy things, and she said, 'Oh no, no, divorce him, just let him go.'

"She said, 'You stay here with me, you love me, you take me to school, you do things with me; you don't just play me, you don't lie to me, you're there for me. When he comes and tells me he's coming, he never comes.' She was far more intelligent that I had ever imagined."

When your daughter is convincing you to leave her father you know that relationship is bad news! Whitney finally left Bobby's broke useless a** in 2007.

About Whitney Houston

2009-08-07T09:04:00.000-07:00

Whitney Houston was born in August 9, 1963. She is a Grammy and Emmy Award winning American R&B/pop singer, actress, former fashion model, record and movie producer. She is generally known for her soulful coloratura soprano voice, vocal power, range and melismatic skill. Houston is one of pop music’s largest selling artists, having sold over 145 million albums and 85 million singles (as of 2007) making her record sales over 230 million worldwide. She was labeled the “Queen of Songs” by Arsenio Hall, who described her as “the first lady of song”. She is also known to millions as “The Voice”, a nickname given to her by Oprah Winfrey.

Her debut album was launched in 1985 to critical and commercial international success, and she went on to launch 7 successive number-one hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. She was one of a handful of African-American artists who received heavy-rotation on MTV during the network’s early years in the 1980s.

Houston sustained her success into the 1990s with the release of several films and their corresponding soundtrack albums, the most popular of which was The Bodyguard (1992), which shaped the globally number-one hit single I Will Always Love You. Houston’s albums in the 2000s have been less successful.

Her personal life became the subject of argument because of allegations of drug abuse, especially after repeated cancellations of public appearances and erratic behaviour. Houston has since undergone an intense treatment process and is at present recording an album that will be launched early this year.
