At Future Love With Whitney Houston, Ray J Hints

R and B star RAY J has hinted he could rekindle his romance with WHITNEY HOUSTON, explaining the pair 'understand each other'.

In 2007 the stars shocked showbiz when it was revealed they were secretly dating - an on/off relationship that is rumoured to have continued until this year (09). Their separate ways for now the singer have gone, while Houston, 46, masterminds her return and Ray J, 28, promotes the second season of his dating gig For the Love of Ray J. But the star - who famously shot a sex tape with socialite Kim Kardashian - insists they're still close.He tells Us Weekly magazine, 'We still hang out, we're friends.'And he hints their close bond means a romance is always on the cards: 'We understand each other and always will.'

Whitney Houston — I Look to You

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’

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

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.
