The first photos have been released of the upcoming movie Sparkle which stars Jordin Sparks and Whitney Houston as Jordin's mother. I realize that Whitney is wearing a pound of makeup and the photos have been airbrushed, but she looks good and I really hope this role really forced her to confront herself and her actions and that maybe it got her off crack permanently. This is probably a pretty good first role for Jordin. She has been working on Broadway so she is not a complete novice and the role is primarily singing so there is not a lot that can go wrong. There sure are a bunch of musicals out lately. Glee is turning the world into one big Broadway show.
I did not realize she was off crack. huh! That's great and she does look good.
ReplyDeleteWhitney is barely recognizable (to me at least).
ReplyDeleteThis movie is a remake Irene Cara was the first sparkle....great great soul music from the 70's
ReplyDeleteHighly recommend you watch the original..philip michael thomas, lonette mckee, irene cara and good music.
ReplyDeleteThere was a story a couple of years ago about Whitney and Bobby hanging out in a bar (post their breakup). Whitney was so wasted and loud and out of control that Bobby was telling her that she was embarassing him. Can you imagine what you must have to do/say to make Bobby Brown feel uncomforable?
ReplyDeleteShe obviously has many demons. I hope that she's quietly working with someone to make her demons go away. I will always love her, and I root for her recovery.
I did not recognize Whitney at all either.
ReplyDeleteSame with me, kept looking to figure out which one was Whitney, knowing full well it couldn't be the woman on the left.
ReplyDeleteJordin Sparks looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteShe does look great. I hope she stays clean and saves that VOICE of hers!
ReplyDeleteShe looks great!! Keep giving her movie roles to keep her busy (and away from the crack)--please!
ReplyDeleteIt is easier to stay clean when you have a project like this to focus on. Hopefully she has a support system for her down time to help her stay clean.
ReplyDeletethat's good for her, she is a beautiful woman!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see her looking ALIVE. Keep it up, WH.
ReplyDeleteShe does look great there. I just can't believe what a mess this woman's life has become. Will her voice ever be the same after that many years of drug use? It's so sad. Such talent wasted.
ReplyDeleteWhitney was so beautiful and so talented back in the day. I hope she stays off the crack. It is great to see her back at work.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why she looks like Stacy Dash in that photo. Perhaps it is the angle.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me??
Nolachick, I admit to watching the old show and honestly Bobby seemed the saner and nicer of the two.
ReplyDeleteI still have a hard time picturing Whitney without a doodie bubble coming out of her butt! #damnyoubobbybrown

ReplyDeleteWendy Williams said something about her dating Shemar Moore. It was funny the way she talked about it. By seeing Whitney here I could almost believe it.
ReplyDeleteShe looks good, but oddly ooooold around the eyes. But still, otherwise fit.
ReplyDeleteSo again, my question is, HOW can she abuse drugs for so long and STILL have a body that looks that good and face that looks at least pretty good??!!
Jordin looks a lot like Sara Ramirez (from Grey's) in that pic...
ReplyDeleteCrack is whack.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jordin looks AMAZINGLY beautiful here. Wow.
Bobby is sober now, so I can understand how he must have felt. Since I've been off the sauce I have so much less patience for drunk people. My own fiance annoys the shit out of me now after he's had a couple. It's just different when the other person's not wasted any more.
