Hmmm: Rosie Perez Weighs in on Bobbi Kristina and How the Whitney Movie [Must Have Killed] Her!


I can't sit here and say that Rosie Perez didn't say exactly what I've been thinking in reference to Bobbi Kristina possibly watching the "Whitney" movie, produced by Angela Bassett for the Lifetime channel. (I even said that on my post)Today on "The View" Rosie and her co hosts discussed what's going on with Bobbi Kristina.

Rosie said...
"No disrespect to Angela Basset (because I love Angela Basset), but an unauthorized biography of her mom...It must've killed her!" 

Man I can't get that movie out of my mind and the fact that it was shown weeks before Bobbi was found in a bathtub unconscious like her mother? Freakin eerie!!!

Update on Bobbi Kristina:

Police confirmed, after a more thorough search of her Roswell home they did find drugs at the scene. They also arrested a man that's been called a drug dealer at the home during their search.

TMZ Reports:

Police found drugs in Bobbi Kristina's house in the wake of her near drowning ... this according to her family.
We've confirmed ... over the weekend cops went back a second time to search the house. The first time they went they found nothing, but we're told they went a second time and seized several items.
Cops will not confirm they found drugs, but family sources tell TMZ authorities told the family that is indeed what was found.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... they believed from the beginning Bobbi Kristina ended up face down in a bathtub as a result of drugs.
As for why cops didn't find anything during the first search ... we're told they were only looking for items that were "out in the open." Law enforcement tells us the second search was more thorough.
Other than that, I've also heard that she's been moved to another hospital at her family's request. Her alleged husband (The family is claiming that the two are NOT legally married) has also been banned from visitation due to a scuffle he got into with security at her bedside. Just a lot going on right now. There are also reports floating around that Bobbi Kristina's condition has improved some. That she's opened and closed her eyes.

Entertainment Tonight Reports:
ET has learned that Bobbi Kristina Brown has been moved to Emory University Hospital after being rushed to North Fulton Hospital over the weekend. ET's Nischelle Turner was on the ground in Georgia gathering new details on Bobbi Kristina's hospitalization.
According to a source, Brown, who had reportedly been placed in a medically induced coma, opened and closed her eyes, which can be taken as a big stride forward.
Dr. Rachael Ross of "The Doctors"told us what this could mean for Brown.
"My take from this is that Bobbi Kristina has hit a plateau that typically the average person doesn't pull out of, but under the care of EU and physicians there the hopes are that they can work a miracle," Dr. Ross said.

Well that debunks that whole 2nd search theory!!

Will keep you posted. In the meantime please continue to keep her in your prayers.

Lifetime Presents: Whitney


The highly anticipated biopic "Whitney", directed by Angela Bassett, premiered on Lifetime over the weekend.
First of all let me just say that Deborah Cox slayeddddddd the vocals!!!She did not disappoint at all!
Unlike that crap of  an Aaliyah movie, it was refreshing to hear Whitney's original music!!! Let's be real the music is almost the most important element to any biopic about a musical artist aside from the artist. Deborah Cox nailed it. ♫ I'm Your Baby Tonight! #yessss I had to rewind that!!! 

The casting was much better too. Yaya did ok. I wasn't mad at her at all. For some reason something, about the guy playing Bobby Brown, was off too me. I don't know what it was but umm yeah lol 
Anyway another thing I noticed is it kind of felt like the movie was more about Bobby and Whitney was his costar. Not really sure what that was about but again the movie was much better [in MY opinion] than that trainwreck Aaliyah movie. What did you think?


You can check out the movie in its entirety below.

Bonus- Bobby Brown: Remembering Whitney

Lifetime Presents: 2nd Chance- Don't Mess this one up Starring Whitney Houston


After bombing the whole entire Aaliyah movie, the Lifetime channel has some making up to do. Once again after a family of another fallen star stood strongly against the production of a biopic movie, Lifetime took matters in its own hands and did it anyway.
The biopic,starring America's Next Top Model contestant, Yaya DaCosta, simply titled "Whitney" will premiere January 17, 2015 at 8/7c!!!

Lifetime's Synopsis of "Whitney":
Golden Globe® Award winner and Academy Award® nominee Angela Bassett makes her directorial debut with the Lifetime Original Movie "Whitney," featuring Yaya DaCosta (Lee Daniels’ "The Butler") in the lead role with Arlen Escarpeta ("Final Destination 5") alongside her as Bobby Brown. 
"Whitney" chronicles the headline-making relationship between the iconic singer, actress, producer and model Whitney Houston and singer and songwriter Bobby Brown from the time they first met at the very height of their celebrity to their courtship and tumultuous marriage. Throughout it all, difficulties followed the superstar couple while they dealt with the overwhelming rewards and consequences of the fame and fortune created by Houston’s meteoric rise that would soon overshadow them both.
Houston’s vocal performances in the film are sung by Grammy®-nominated and multiplatinum-selling entertainer Deborah Cox. The music featured in the film includes Houston’s hits “The Greatest Love of All,” “I’m Your Baby Tonight,” “I’m Every Woman” and “I Will Always Love You” as well as Brown’s “Every Little Step.”
Produced by The Sanitsky Company, "Whitney" is executive produced by Larry Sanitsky ("Betty & Coretta"). Shem Bitterman ("Betty & Coretta") wrote the script.
Following the movie’s premiere, Lifetime will air the hour-long documentary "Beyond the Headlines: Whitney Houston" at 10/9c, providing an in-depth look at the life and death of Houston. Interviews with friends – including longtime friend Darlene Love – colleagues and industry insiders will offer personal reflections and insight into the life and career of this American songstress and the tragic circumstances of her downfall. "Beyond the Headlines: Whitney Houston" is produced by Peacock Productions.
Ummm so yeah, good luck with that! After that Aaliyah debacle I'm a little worried. Why they keep going against these people's families when they say NO to these productions is beyond me. #fixitjeezus Hopefully they will win us over this time! If not I know instgram and twitter will get them together!!! LOL
