Following Jordin Sparks ' tribute to Whitney Houston at the Billboard Music Awards last night, where the singer belted out "I Will Always Love You" on stage at the MGM Grand, the pair's Sparkle duet "Celebrate" has premiered. This is the last song Houston is known to have recorded before her death in February at the age of 48. R. Kelly produced the pop track for the Sparkle remake, which hits theaters on [...]

Originally, we didn't have high hopes for this, but this trailer gave us goosebumps. Also, we can't believe one of the lines that Whitney Houston says in this film is "Was my life not enough of a cautionary tale for you?" Epic!

Even if Whitney Houston had not passed away in February , her appearance in upcoming Motown musical Sparkle would still be greatly anticipated, as this is Houston's first big-screen movie in sixteen years. (Her last acting role in a film was in 1996's The Preacher's Wife .) In the recently released trailer for the film, Houston shines as the mother of Jordin Sparks' titular character, an aspiring singer who dreams of making it big in a Dreamgirls -esque girl group. Watch the movie's official trailer below. [...]

The music world was dealt a serious blow last night when police confirmed that singer Whitney Houston was found unresponsive in her hotel room at the Beverly Hills Hotel Hilton in Los Angeles. Beverly Hills paramedics, who were at the hotel for music executive's annual pre-Grammy party, were on the scene almost immediately and found the singer unresponsive. After performing CPR for about 20 minutes, they declared the singer dead at 3:55 p.m. Houston, who sold over 170 million albums during her career and had a public battle with dependencey, was staging a comeback in the form of [...]
The last songs Whitney Houston recorded will be heard in the film "Sparkle," one on camera and the other during the closing credits. Houston sings the gospel classic "Eyes on the Sparrow" in the film and duets with Jordin Sparks, the film's star, on a new R. Kelly song, "Celebrate" over the end credits. The film is in post-production and on schedule; Sony Pictures has it scheduled for release in early August. RCA will release the soundtrack. Houston recently finished her recording of "Celebrate." Sony executives were pleased with both the way Houston looks and sounds [...]
Today I received an email from my friend Lori. Subject line: "Whitney Houston is dead." "What a way to break it to me gently," was my first thought. The second: "No way." I'd just returned from a morning run that Houston's "It's Not Right but It's Okay" (the nine-minute Thunderpuss Club Mix) had helped get me through. She couldn't be dead. It must be another hoax. In recent weeks, we'd "lost" Jon Bon Jovi and Eddie Murphy. Surely there'd soon be some press release insisting that Houston was alive and well, [...]
Off the crack and back to work, the WHITNEY HOUSTON SPARKS up on the set of her new film, 'Sparkle', with the JORDIN by her side. A whole lotta sparkling going down, just as long as none is going up. And in the other corner, photoshop continues to save lives.
Whitney Houston is back to movies because she didn't do so well last time with the music. Still, we don't think she put down the movie for a decade because Aaliyah passed away, diva had issues she had to sort out before she was all up on the red carpet. At any rate, let's hope a great soundtrack comes out of it. We wonder who was cast in Aaliyah's place, please don't tell me Christina Milian!

The upcoming Whitney Houston remake Sparkle , detailing the rise and fall of a group loosely based on the Supremes, may have been upstaged by the Beyonce-starring Dreamgirls several years ago, but apparently Whitney's Sparkle revamp has been in the works since long before the release of the film that won Jennifer Hudson an Oscar. The substance-abusing star recently spoke to Access Hollywood about her original intentions for the movie, which had Aaliyah playing the title role (now filled by Jordin Sparks). Watch the interview below. [...]
Whitney Houston will soon return to the silver screen in the remake of the 1976 movie musical Sparkle , and the diva dished all about shooting the film to Entertainment Tonight . Houston was joined by her co-star Jordin Sparks, whom was showered in compliments: "She's very quick, she's very good, she knows her cue, she knows how to look, she knows her voice is like an angel's," said Whitney.

When the tracklist came out for Sparkle , an album of remixes from electronic goth duo Austra 's debut, Feel It Break , it seemed like the prize would go to either superproducer Mark Ronson's signee MNDR or one of the collection's substantial DFA representatives. In fact, the album's most affecting remixes come not from established names in techno and electronica—though MNDR truly does magic with its echoing, ghostly "Nighttime Remix" of "Spellwork"— but from lesser-known artists still building their remix resumes. Legendary producer Mark Pistel of Hercules and [...]
