I don't know the girl personally, but from what I saw of her when she last appeared on O, she struck me as a child who was not as grown as she perhaps fancied herself. She may have matured in the short years since, but still, I see very much a child regardless of her chronological age who will be expected to give an adult interview that I don't think she's ready for. But I guess we'll see...

I'm not familiar with OWN's programming, but admittedly, I thought it was too bad that TOWS was no longer on the air when I thought of the inevitable family interview after Whitney passed. So I guess she'll get it anyway, just on cable. But damn, was NOT expecting it this soon. I can't help but wonder how this went down. I mean, I doubt she hugged Cissy at the funeral and whispered, "Hey, if you ever wanna talk..." but even having one of her people make that call, yikes, it would have to be approached so delicately... even given their past relationship.

She has a policy of not paying guests, so who knows... However, and I say this as someone who was left money by his mother who was not nor ever was a multi-millionaire... BK is now an adult. She still has a living father. Her mother had some money at the time of her death and will continue to get residuals. I feel for her, I truly do, but people lose their parents all the time, parents who didn't have two dimes to rub together. I find it a little insulting that such a fuss is being made about her financial stability. This is why children need to be prepared for the world.

Michael Buble (or some dude) did a nice remake tribute of Exhale (Shoop, Shoop) today on Ellen. ETA: It was Robin Thicke, not Michael.

Extra: Whitney's sister-in-law tells Oprah she can't say she believes Bobby introduced Whitney to drugs. That the worlds "reality" and the reality are two very different things.

I thought this was going to be all fluff, especially due to "Mother Theresa" SIL, but I guess not.

    • His original motives were unclear and all we knew was that he was working for Iris. But when it was revealed that Evan was Janice's son we found out that he had fallen in with Iris not because he wanted to follow Iris specifically but because he had his own anti-Rachel agenda. Charles Grant had more charisma than the later recast Eric Scott Woods who seemed younger to me. 
    • Throwing this out to the universe: finding Elisabeth Shue's episode of As the World Turns (which I guess would have been circa 1983, maybe just before RDJ started watching Search for Tomorrow).

    • I thought today was still good. Leo is always awful, but the characters treating him like he's a plague feeds my soul. Rafe in particular had been very passive about him, but today was wonderful seeing him put Leo on notice. I really think it's being written that Javi is going to have to eventually take the blinders off and see Leo for who he really is. Them having sex on Gabi's desk made me want to explode. Roman taking in stray Doug was nice to see. And the mention of Frankie and Max was unexpected, but good to know they're at least being thought of. Tate being petty and a bit vindictive by going back to Sophia's as soon as he saw Doug with Holly was entertaining for me. I think I actually like Tate the most out of all of them because he's so damn messy.  Is Holly about to be kidnapped? Her first time? Also, Gabi finally revealing what happened with her the night EJ was shot and the clearing of all the other main suspects, but Johnny made this still feel like an important episode. I think Johnny will be cleared soon enough leaving everybody at a loss for the hell shot EJ. How the real shooter will be revealed is going to be interesting.  Speculation: When Kristen finally puts together that her daughter Rachel shot him, she'll agree to frame her mother for the crime, while keeping her hidden away from Salem.
    • That would have saved the Anita singing segment -- having her by herself, singing quietly and reflectively. Belting it out like she was in church did not work. The black screens fade at the end was a mistake. BTG insists on being different with these fades for the sake of being different, and it's not working.   I thought all of that was just fine. Worked for me.   I'm going to disagree with this. Martin hasn't had many scenes with his parents, but he's been around family A LOT -- and that's what matters. We also know Martin is someone with a hair trigger response. He can be very emotional when discussing an issue before getting to the logic and reason of it all.  
    • My view of Evan is that he's smart but not as smart as he thinks he is, not a good guy but not an entirely bad guy - he's a lot of things, the show never quite knowing what to do with them. I never saw him as Iris' follower because Iris always seemed a bit in over her head from the start. 
    • She was the Town Historian, who knew a bit too much about Brandon and the infamous cottage.  SF was still a pretty normal place at that time, with Nola and Reva being the most outrageous citizens....seems that Carrie Pipper would have stood out a bit more for people.

    • Yes, I need to dot hat. Also on my list talking to the person I got these files from since they clearly have a mess, in terms of dates being wrong. And, unfortunately finding one date wrong, automatically means more are wrong, too.
