The sad thing is no one knows how or where she was found dead as of now, but reports are coming in.  All we know is that according to breaking news, the singer is gone.

UPDATE: 8:03 PM- Paramedics were called to the Beverly Hilton today when Houston was found unresponsive in her hotel room … sources tell TMZ.

We’re told police arrived to the scene within minutes and fire was already there on another call. According to our sources, paramedics performed CPR but it did not work and she was pronounced dead at 3:55 PM.

UPDATE: 7:41 PM- Ray J found the singer’s body in the hotel room, and is visibly upset according to CNN. Ray J says, “I’m tripping right now.”

UPDATE 7:40 PM- According to our sources, Houston died at the Beverly Hilton hotel. A police crime lab vehicle was seen outside the hotel just moments ago.

Soon as more information comes in we will update this post, but prior to this information Whitney Houston’s behavior was described as erratic.  RIP! You can see that she needed help, I just don’t understand Hollywood sometimes…They had to know she wasn’t healthy. Here’s what TMZ is reporting:

 Whitney Houston died this afternoon … a rep for the singer told the Associated Press.

According to our sources, Houston died at the Beverly Hilton hotel. A police crime lab vehicle was seen outside the hotel just moments ago. So far, the details surround Houstin’s death are unclear.

UPDATE: This post was written just shortly before we found out Whitney Houston has dies. These are the last public moments of the singer, and unfortunately they were not good publicity moments. RIP Whitney Houston! I really hope there’s peace…

First let me give props to iLuLu Online for having the courage to post this story, while fighting the Whitney stans on twitter…

Whitney Houston attended Kelly Price’s Pre-Grammy party, and decided to get on stage to sing a special version of Jesus Love Me to Kelly Price. When I saw the video my first thought was, and I am being honest, “I hope Whitney is not back on that stuff!” An hour later, I saw this picture below, and I was wondering aloud, “Why does Whitney Houston look as though she’d just been in a fight?”

Well it turns out that Whitney was fighting X factor contestant, Stacy Francis, over Ray J in the club. Yes, a cougar on cougar smack down of words over Brandy’s little brother Ray J. Sadly, Stacy Francis wasn’t even checking for Ray J, she was just saying hello because she’d known Ray J for awhile,  but Whitney wasn’t trying to hear that.  Details when you continue…

Obviously, this is not a laughing matter and Whitney Houston needs help. There are too many people in denial around her. It may not be crack drugs, but you can’t tell me…that this is normal behavior for a grown woman:

According to a source, after Francis performed an Etta James tribute and Houston joined Price on stage, the two were reintroduced in the VIP section. “It didn’t seem like Whitney remembered her, but she was cordial at first.”

The scene changed minutes later when R&B star Ray J, who Francis had met over the years, stepped into the conversation. “Whitney just got belligerent,” an eyewitness tells The Hollywood Reporter. “Ray was trying to defend Stacy, telling Whitney, ‘Stacy’s family!’, but Whitney was feeling crowded out and hands were raised.”

Fortunately, the situation was diffused without any punches thrown, but says the source, “You didn’t know which way it could go there for a minute.”

When contacted by THR, Francis didn’t deny that the incident happened, but would only say, “I have the utmost respect for Whitney Houston and her talent.” {via The Hollywood Reporter}

 

In case you think this is not a true story or that the tabloids are making this up, Stacy Francis has already confirmed the story via twitter, and you can check out those tweets at iLuLu Online…

BTW, here is the video of Whitney Houston singing Jesus Loves Me:

I want to see more pictures of Beyonce post-baby like the one below, and I want to eventually see pictures of the beautiful Blue Ivy. The main people hating on the Knowles or the same people flocking to the internet to see more pics. *scratches head*

It seems like Beyonce has done everything right, and for some reason that’s so hard for people to love. I read an interesting article on Huffington Post by Rev Michael Water, about Jay-Z and Beyonce and how they have re-established the traditional family unit in the hip-hop culture. I’m scared that all of this negative baby-bumper talk is just another way to tear down the black family.  I understood the outrage with Alicia Keys and Fantasia because families were broken apart, but in this situation, Jay-Z and Beyonce are creating a family with both a mother and father together in matrimony, without cheating on or tearing apart another black family.  So why are you so mad?

Honestly, I hoped that my generation, the hip-hop generation (or Generation X), deeply scarred by the absence of their own fathers, would not repeat their fathers’ mistakes. Increasingly, I see my hopes dashed. As a pastor, I recently came to the grim recognition that of the last fifteen children that I have baptized, only four times was the father present to participate in the celebration of the sacrament. Of those fathers present, only one father was married to the woman with whom the child was conceived at the time of the baptism. And for me, it appears as if the trend of fatherless baptisms will continue in the near future.

Today, many families are “redefined” at the very point of conception as marriage is no longer considered a prerequisite towards beginning a family. I applaud Jay-Z and Beyonce for accomplishing what many in my generation have failed to do, breaking the cycle of absenteeism established by their parents’ generation. {Read the rest at Huffington Post}

I had never had Chanel before,” she cooed over the bodysuit he bought her for the occasion. “I’d never had anyone go out and buy me a really expensive outfit. When I told him I was an [exotic] dancer, he was like, ‘I don’t care if you’re a crackhead. I don’t care if you’re a prostitute. I just want to be with you.’ That’s what made me love him.” {via NY Post}

Amber Rose reveals that Kanye West cheated on her, not with one woman, but with several women:

He is your typical rapper in the industry,” Amber told The Post over dinner at The Lion, a celebrity hot spot in the West Village. “He can’t be faithful, and it’s not just with one person. He’s just unfaithful with a lot of different women. I got to the point where I thought, my heart can’t take it anymore. I don’t deserve this. I don’t care when people say that I owe him my life because I’m famous now. I don’t owe him nothing.”

There has to be another way to sell this album other than giving Kanye West interviews. I heard her new single Loaded is actually kind of good. BTW, Wiz Khalifa is still the love of Amber’s life, and he is very secure in loving her:

I was scared, because he’s four years younger than me, and he’s in the same industry as Kanye and I was so over all that,” said Amber. “All odds were against him, but I couldn’t fight the feeling. Wiz is the better man.

We both travel a lot, so when we do see each other, we lay up in the bed, get sticky with each other, and watch movies,” said Amber. “If Wiz felt insecure about me dating Kanye, I wouldn’t be with him today. Everyone is someone’s sloppy seconds, unless you’re a virgin. {Amber Rose Talks Kanye’s Cheating Habits}

In almost every interview, each cast member said Mona intentionally took things out of context to edit the narrative for ratings, and against their best wishes put the cast-members in hostile environment to provoke a fight. The only person that didn’t have a problem with the editing was Yandy. O_0 How convenient!!! Considering Yandy was at the center of every fight, and the only cast member that was buddy-buddy with Mona on screen.

One scene that almost broke my heart was Erica Mena’s break-down during her exit interview with Mona. Obviously if you go on a show like Love & Hip-Hop you’re on your last leg as far as career options, and you just need a boost to your career. Well Erica Mena broke down in tears because she felt like she wasn’t accurately portrayed. Although you can’t make a woman do anything she doesn’t want to do on camera, you can manipulate the story line so that her character is one dimensional. All I am saying is that Mona, if she cared about these women in any manner, could have made these stories more balanced and featured the good and the bad, and not just the evil. Mona intentionally left out the good stories in the lives of these women as she accidentally revealed while interviewing Somaya, and focused mostly on the things that were negative.  Mona, also had the nerve to tell Erica Mena that she could learn a lesson from this experience, and become a better person. Now, go make my money!!!

The only thing that scene above proved to me is that this mess was a set-up, and that the producers could have prevented the fight. It also proved that Erica’s role was to start drama. I can’t believe Mona said off camera, I thought you were going to introduce her first, not just jump in, let’s reset. How could Mona think that if the show wasn’t scripted ?

From abusive men to abusive women. At least Shaunie tries to balance the lives of the women on her show. But hey, I hope Mona gets nominated for the Pimp of the Year award at the 2012 Players’ Ball. Sadly, Love & Hip-Hop Hotlanta is coming soon!

Penny Olay/Nia Crooks may be petty and shady for filing the police report, but at least we know she’s not lying. If this is scripted they covered their tracks as far back as March 2011. Now all we want to know is what happened?? What made Penny Olay turn on Jennifer Williams and jump on team Evelyn Lozada…

This is Jennifer and her BFF Penny Olay/Nia Crooks partying together. Just in September the two were buddy-buddy.

And fast forward a few months later, Penny and Evelyn have kicked Jennifer out of the circle. Things have become so bad, Evelyn and Penny Olay were caught attacking Jennifer Williams on camera.

Scripted or not, this whole mess just looks shady. No amount of money could cause me to act a fool on television, and turn on my so called best friends for ratings. Remember when Evelyn and Jennifer were inseparable. My how things change in less than a year.

You know, New Birth is becoming more and more “cult-like” to me, every time I hear about some foolery going down over there. And why he’s even still leading a church after the whole sex scandal and the congregation is still chillin in the cut is beyond me. But I digress…

According to CNN, after the video went viral, Long received a lot of backlash from the Jewish community and has since written an apology letter to the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish group that fights against anti-Semitism.

“The ceremony was not my suggestion, nor was it my intent, to participate in any ritual that is offensive in any manner to the Jewish community, or any group. Furthermore, I sincerely denounce any action that depicts me as a King, for I am merely just a servant of the Lord,” Long wrote in a letter dated Saturday.

The entire ceremony is pretty questionable anyway, as other Rabbis have said that there is NO such “coronation” ceremony, that Ralph Messer is NOT an ordained rabbi and that the Torah scroll probably isn’t 312 years old. GIRL WHAT?!? So then why are…you know…nevermind. Just watch the hot mess of a ceremony for yourself, when you continue…

I am saddened that these untrue stories about me have people questioning my commitment to my family. For reasons that are between us, I have not seen my mother in 11 years and outside of a random call here and there have had little to no contact with my sister. We all have personal family issues that we have to deal with in life, but I choose to deal with mine in private and not through the media.

Seriously Tracy Morgan, can’t you afford some therapy to work out these family issues with your mom and sister? I am not sure what lies his family members are telling. They simply said Tracy Morgan is refusing to help. Maybe a poor word choice, but the fact of the matter is Tracy Morgan’s mom’s house is facing foreclosure, and she owes $25,000. He’s allegedly offered her $2000 through his assistant, which would carry her for a month or two, but she turned it down out of pride. His sister, Asia Morgan, says Tracy is a douche bag, which he has proven publicly through his gay rants, oh and remember the time he brought another chick on the red carpet after taking his ex-girlfriend’s kidney. Publicity wise, it just didn’t look good. Publicity wise this looks just as bad. Anyway, Tracy’s mother responds to her son, and it sounds like she’s ready to fight back this time:

There’s nothing for me to lie about. People are saying that we’re airing our dirty laundry, but he’s the one who wrote about us first. He can’t keep telling lies and expect me to be quiet about it. People don’t know me. I want to tell my side of the story. He hasn’t seen me in a long time. Now he sees how I look.

His mother sat down for an extensive interview published in Vindy.com, where she talks about her past relationship with Morgan:

I’m trying to find the answer,” she said. “What did I do to him? In my heart, I don’t know what I ever did to him to make him hate me. We were always a close-knit family. Give me an answer, Tracy.

“I called Tracy last March or April to ask him if he would help pay my mortgage,” she said. “I never gave him an amount — I just sent him the [billing statement], and he said he would do it. But he never did.”

“I pay my bills to keep the lights on and the heat on,” said Warden. “I’ve gone without my medicine. My doctor told me Monday my blood pressure is up so high I look like I’m on the verge of a stroke.”

My windows got shot out last year,” she said. “My car has been shot up. Two of my former foster children [she has had 20] have been killed. I fear for my life, and I don’t tell anyone who I am.”

In 2001, “Saturday Night Live” did a Mother’s Day special, and Warden went to New York and appeared on the show. But what could have been a warm reunion went bad, and harsh words were passed between mother and son. Warden said the distance between them actually had started a little before then.

“He had some attitude and treated [her and her daughter, Asia] like dirt when we did the show,” said Warden. “I still don’t know why.” Still, a photo of Warden and Tracy from the “SNL” shoot sits on her mantel.

Warden visited her son again in 2002 for the funeral of her ex-husband. Warden said her ex was a drug addict who died of AIDS.

“Tracy felt like if I hadn’t put [her ex-husband] out of the house, he might still be alive today,” said Warden. “I said, ‘You’re being selfish … Would you have wanted us both to be dead?’” {Read the rest of the interview with Tracy Morgan’s mom , this is just sad!}

Dayum Tracy!!! Did she boil your rabbit? Did she steal your checks? What can make a grown man hate his mom so much, and turn his back as she slums it out? Maybe she told him he will never amount to anything, I have no clue, but 11 years of not talking, is not good.

According to Nia, she loaned Jennifer Williams keys to her house and is upset that Jennifer hasn’t returned them. Why would anyone give their “boss” a set of  keys to their house? Sounds like scripted television to me, just like Gloria meeting Draya in “acting class”. Why would anyone file a police report instead of changing their locks ? Police reports now equal free publicity on TMZ. Why would anyone work for Evelyn as an “assistant”? That’s like working for Naomi Campbell or Foxy Brown.

Anyway, here is a pic of Nia Crooks aka Penny Olay and Evelyn Lozada acting BFF-like. JUST a weeks ago, Nia was doing the same pose with her other BFF Jennifer Williams. A few months prior to all of this, Nia Penny Cooks Olay, Jennifer Williams, and Evelyn Lozada were all hanging out together as one big group of BFFs.

These chicks have no loyalty or respect for the word friend. Two months ago Nia and Jennifer Williams were so close, Nia was giving Jennifer keys to her house. Now, Nia is working for Evelyn and hates Jennifer so much, that she is slapping her in the face while cameras are rolling for Basketball Wives Season 4. What is really going on behind the scenes? When did Nia Crook become a “Basketball Wife”? So many questions, but I bet you I will find some answers. Stay tuned!!!

The assistant — Nia Crooks (right) — filed a theft report against Jennifer Monday with the Hallandale Police Department, claiming JW is refusing to return the house keys Nia loaned her two months ago … back when they were still friends.

According to sources, Jennifer has been making thinly-veiled threats to Nia since the racetrack scuffle — things like “watch your back” — and Nia doesn’t feel comfortable with Jennifer having a key to her house.

We’re told Nia has repeatedly asked Jennifer to return the keys to no avail — so she’s turning to law enforcement for help, completely baffled by Jennifer’s behavior. {Jennifer Williams Accused of Stealing House Keys}

Pilar has filed an emergency motion in a Texas courtroom … claiming the NFL legend has canceled her credit cards and left her without any financial means to support herself and their children … and she needs the judge to force Deion to give her money so she can survive.

In the docs, Pilar claims, “Since [Deion] filed for divorce on December 21, 2011, he has given [Pilar] $300.00 and offered her money in exchange for sexual favors.”

She then notes, “Pilar turned down the money.” {TMZ}

LOL, that the lawyer notes Pilar turned the money down. Well Deion’s reps have responded to the allegations. Check out his response when you continue

Deion Sanders says his estranged wife is straight up LYING … telling friends he NEVER offered her cash for sexual favors … and insists Pilar is simply trying to extort him for millions.

Sources close to Deion tell us the accusations are entirely untrue … and claim the NFL legend recently sent her a cashier’s check for $10,000 … which Pilar REJECTED.

Pilar’s lawyer, Larry Friedman, tells us she refused to accept the money because Deion presented the check as a “partial payment” towards the prenup … a prenup she believes is invalid.

We’re told Pilar was only promised $1,000,000 in the prenup … but Friedman believes she’s entitled to MILLIONS more … saying, “The offer does not reflect the assets in the estate and does not account for the time, effort, devotion, and faithfulness Pilar has invested in the marriage.”

A close adviser to Deion tells us … “Pilar has continued to make false statements in an attempt to extort additional money, in spite of the generous pre-nup that she voluntarily signed. Deion is going to allow a judge to resolve this privately, then he looks forward to setting the record straight publicly at the appropriate time.” {Deion Sanders Denies Offering Pilar $300 For Sex}

A gag order and sealed court documents are needed at this point. Pilar is leaking way too much information to the media, but luckily no one is falling for her act.Similar Posts:
