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

How ironic last week she was on the cover of a tabloid that said she collapsed and was broke and strung out. Whitney saw it and was like "when did I collapse?" Those magazines are so harsh. I never really knew anyone who buys something that is telling such blatant lies and so badly photoshopped pictures. :shrug:

So what's up with Whoopi and Dr. Drew?? Dr. Drew said she talked bad about him on The View. Also Stacy Francis is on Dr. Drew....talking about the night she had the incident with Whitney.

Aretha and Stevie Wonder are singing at the funeral, and other stars will be in attendance:

Stevie sings at EVERYBODY's funeral.

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.

You get your hat out the closet, ok? Iknow what you were sayin about Tequila. i've seen some people get totally crazy ass sh!tfaced on that stuff. I wanna know who would drink something that has a nasty old worm in the bottom? If a waiter in a restaurant brought you a worm in your dinner, you'd sue their pants off. I never understood the appeal of it.

LOL....He's the Marcie McBain of real life

BET will be airing the funeral for those who wanted to watch on TV.

Also Billboard has changed their rules and allowing old songs to chart if they are in the top 50. I Will Always Love re-enters at #7, I Wanna Dance with Somebody at #35 and Greatest Love of All at #41.

Yolanda Adams will be performing a tribute to Whitney on the Image Awards tonight.

And they're doing a special 2O/2O on her too @9.

Sure enough I went out today and she was everywhere. Some mags more classy than the other and I preferred those to the ones that had her on the cover looking a mess, highlighting her downfall.

And they're doing a special 2O/2O on her too @9.

thanks for that. I will check it out

Kudos to 20/20, this special is pretty close to fantastic. They're showing the bad, the good, the ugly and just letting the story speak for itself. Well done.

We're on to the ugly part. The looks Whitney is giving Diane in that old interview, heh.

Watching it as well....The Diane interview you can tell Whitney is totally hooked....to lose such a beautiful voice because of drugs...what a shame.....Whitney using a vocal coach in her last days...how sad...

Its too bad bc things looked like they were looking up for ehr. That Sparkle movie, more music and being a judge on X-factor. 2012 could have been her year

Anyone watching her memorial service?
