Whitney Houston dead at 48!

Who is Ray J? Is he the sex tape guy?

[Angela]

Yeah, he's Kim Kardashian's sex-tape partner and the brother of (former) R&B singer Brandy. (Well, I think they are brother & sister).

[DRW50]

Thanks. It all sounds like a mess.

[Soapsuds]

Did he have an album or sang on Brandy's CD?? I tell you pure trash....why would Whitney fight over a guy like Ray J?? First Bobby now him...talk about having low standards. Btw...off topic...I heard Monica and Brandy were doing another song together??

[ReddFoxx]

He's had a few albums and was on Moesha for a couple of seasons.

Brandy and Monica's new song is out, it's called "It All Belongs To Me".

Yeah it sure is. I was watching Nancy Grace and a caller called and Nancy asked her about her time she tried to counsel Whitney & Bobby about their drug use and the caller went on a full out attack on Nancy and others who were slamming Whitney...short while after the call was muted and Whitney music started blasting on the air and the show broke for commericial...Nancy returned to say that she wasnt slamming Whitney and that she was a big fan and sang to her songs..etc..etc...

[Soapsuds]

I thought so...I'm sure Whitney didnt know what she was doing during her confrontation with Francis. i did hear Francis posted something about it on Tweeter but quickly removed it. i do feel sorry for her too.

I've heard her funeral is going to be on TV on Saturday.

Anyone plan on watching?

[SFK]

I heard it'll be streamed over the net, but I could see one of the local Jersey channels or even New York One airing it, not sure. At any rate, I definitely plan on watching. And oh my God, I'm scared about whatever site that's streaming it totally crashing. Not to sound corny, but I was raised in the Baptist church and have been to countless homegoings like this one is sure to be and I almost feel like I need to dress up like soap fans used to dress up for weddings.

[DRW50]

I thought her family didn't want anything public.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

I am still a Baptist. Last funeral I went to though wasn't in the church though. Yet, I know what you're talking about. I feel like sticking on a pair of slacks and a nice top and a hat. (The Lord himself knows I'll never be a dress/skirt girl)

[Eric83]

They were going to have a public service in a stadium in New Jersey but decided not to. They are only allowing one camera crew in the church, so I guess they want her fans to say goodbye but have the service with the people closest to her.

[SFK]

Tomorrow evening they're having a private viewing at the funeral home. There will be a motorcade from Whigham's to New Hope on Saturday so the fans can say goodbye. I really don't know what to make out of these reports that Bobby Brown is unwelcome...

I was surprised when I went out to the grocery store yesterday and saw no tabloids with this on the cover. I could have sworn when MJ died, they were extremely quick to put that and I suspected they had something on standby just in case he did die
