lol, somehow I think he will be back. I can't see him giving up all that power and pay for a reality show. I see him doing both. Can't believe that he will be back with Whitney! ughhh!!! The record industry is so incestuous, everyone has been emplyed by the big 3 or 4 record labes at some time and they just go back and forth. Barry Weiss = NOTORIOUSLY cheap. LA REID = Throw money at albums then refuse to promote them. I don't know what's worse! Why don't they just promote Clive (AGAIN!) to the head of those labels until he wants to quit! The record industry gives me a headache!

(given she was a crack head at the time, it's could have been fair).

Whitney was not the only reason why he got sacked. He got fired for general mismanagement and misappropriation. I doubt that he hates her. His son, Aaron is Whitney's godson and his ex-wife Pebbles is one of her closest friends. Pebbles was also one of Whitney's bridesmaids. Reid was at Whitney's New York listening party and gave her support. I think he is cool with her.

He's messed up TLC, Toni Braxton, some of Mariah's releases, threw $ after Rihanna's RR etc. I just hope that whomever is over there i.e Doug Morris/Clive that they don't let this year go by without a new Nippy cd!

Jake Gyllenhaal Sings Along To Whitney Houston While Playing GamesWe love it when a hot man reveals his feminine side... We're not afraid to admit that we are 100 percent in love with Jake Gyllenhaal. However after his revelation about singing along to Whitney Houston, our love for him has just notched up to another 100 percent! The actor has revealed that the only way he can win a game on his games console is if he listens to Whitney Houston - with Dance With Somebody and I Will Always Love You being his favourites! Musicrooms.net reports that the actor, who is too shy to sing in public, saying: "I don’t really do karaoke that much! What’s that song I Just Wanna Dance With Somebody? I always want to do The Bodyguard soundtrack I Will Always Love You. I like that. “No, maybe just a bit of Wii tennis (on set), while I’m singing Whitney’s I Will Always Love You. That’s the only way to do it really. You can’t play Wii tennis when you’re not listening to Whitney Houston.” Everyone loves a bit of Whitney! www.entertainmentwise.com/news/58871/Jake-Gyllenhaal-Sings-Along-To-Whitney-Houston-While-Playing-Games

lol! She sure does! She always said she doesn't spend her money like crazy. I think she's cheap in that sort've way. She had bought a house in Atlanta with Bobby but has since sold it, and soon she'll be moving to los angeles, according to Bobbi Kris.

Oh I didnt know you were her accountant. Thanks Umm, last time I checked she played 46 shows in 37 cities which averaged around 900K per show. As frugal as Whitney IS she probably netted around 450K per. That puts her at around 20 Million for the year 2010 ALONE (on the LOW end), plus her 20M advance for ILTY, so yeah Whitney aint broke and.....ya welcome!

Yeah, she took home a big chunk of change from the tour last year. She's probably just spending it wisely, and has just been spending her money wisely overall since she got rid of all those hanger ons (Bobby and his family).

Whitney's tour was I believe #34 for international tours and grossed more than Alicia Keys, Maxwell, Mariah and Jay-Z. I believe she grossed $36million, she also did a private show, had a cd that sold over 2.5mil worldwide and her concert items sold very well- imo, her tour book was one of the best ones out there and her merchandise with her image was very beautiful.
Unless her contract was modified, she has one of the largest contract awarded to a female artist worth $100mil for 6 studio cds and 2 greatest hits.
Whitney has never been known to floss. She's very practical. She still owns her estate in NJ and a condo there as well that her step mom lives in. I'm sure if she wanted to live in a mansion she could but then again it's just her Krissi , Nick and the dog.

Her international tours should've did well considering this was her 'comeback' and she hasn't toured in years. I at least expected a very successful tour.

I'm sure she didn't tour the States because she realized her voice is too inconsistent to tour here and definately didn't need another round of bad press and bad reviews if her voice is having an off night. Her tour was financially successful, it sold out or was close to selling out in most cities, but the bad reviews overtook the good reviews which put a damper on it in the long run.

F em! We're so blessed that she did an album, tour, and makes enough appearances to keep her name out there. F'in critics act like it's 1985. But she still did her thang!!

I just think a lot of people overseas didn't realize her vocal change and were expecting Bodyguard vocals, so they were taken by surprise. People who weren't following her like true, huge fans probably weren't aware.......plus I was told the people overseas, especially Australia, are very rough and critical on every artist if they aren't perfect.
We all know she had some bad nights during the tour, but she also had some great nights as well. It's just too bad the public only chose to focus on the bad over the good, but that's the way it works in this world, unfortuanately.
I'd prefer it if she didn't tour the States, TBH. Not if she's not consistent every night. I'd rather her just do a new movie or release a new album. Homegirl needs to get her lungs and vocal cords correct before she tours again. No more coughing during live performances girlfrannn!
