In Bobby Brown’s new tell-all book, he claims his whole relationship with R&B legend Whitney Houston was a hoax! Bobby wrote that the only reason Whitney married him was because she wanted to protect her “good girl” image. He says she was also in a “bisexual relationship” at the time, and she knew that being gay wouldn’t look good for her career.

“(The marriage) was doomed from the very beginning,” Brown writes in ‘Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But…’ “I think we got married for all the wrong reasons. Now, I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married… I believe her agenda was to clean up her image, while mine was to be loved and have children.

“The media was accusing her of having a bisexual relationship with her assistant, Robin Crawford. Since she was the American Sweetheart and all, that didn’t go too well with her image… In Whitney’s situation, the only solution was to get married and have kids. That would kill all speculation, whether it was true or not.”

Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston filed for divorce back in 2007 after spending 14 years together as husband and wife. They have one daughter together, 16 year old Bobbi Kristina Brown. And Whitney Houston is currently busy promoting her new album, I Look To You.

Legendary R&B singer Whitney Houston released her brand new music video for “Million Dollar Bill” this week.

As expected, Ms. Whitney Houston soared to the top of the Billboard 200 this week with her new album, I Look To You. With very little promotion and no music video, the album sold a very impressive 305k copies. This is Whitney’s best opening week sales since the Nielsen SoundScan began in 1991.

We expect that these numbers will go even higher in no time. With her tell-all interview with Oprah airing next week on September 14th and 15th and two new music videos on the way (”I Look To You” premieres this week and “Million Dollar Bill” premieres next week) we’re sure the album will soon go platinum.

In other Billboard chars news, Trey Songz’s newest album Ready debuted at #3 with 131k sold and Miley Cyrus‘ EP The Time Of Our Lives debuted at #2 with 153k sold.

Check out our album review of Whitney’s I Look To You here.

Music legend Whitney Houston took the stage Tuesday (Sep 1) at Rumsey Playfield in New York City’s Central and performed on ABC’s “Good Morning America” in support of the release of her new album, I Look To You, in stores and online now. The R&B singer brought out her 16-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina during her impromptu performance of “My Love Is Your Love.”

Many of her fans were disappointed at the quality of Whitney’s voice during her short concert, which was supposed to be her big “comeback performance.” Unfortunately for Ms. Houston, her voice was hoarse and she squeaked and cracked during her show, where she also performed her album’s title track, “I Look To You.” Check out a video of both performances when you continue reading…

The diva is back! Whitney Houston released her sixth studio album I Look To You today showing the world that she’s still got it. I Look To You is Whitney’s first album in almost seven years and it features production from Akon, Swizz Beats, Danja, etc.

Ranked as the fourth best-selling female artist in the US, Whitney’s career took a turn when she turned to drugs during the late 90s and early 2000s. With her suddenly becoming missing in action for interviews and performances, being fired from the Academy Awards, and losing many pounds due to drugs and stress, the legend that was once known for her amazing and powerful vocals became an object for negative criticism. When asked about her drug use in an interview with Diane Sawyer in 2002, Whitney dismissed the rumors, claiming that “crack is whack,” a line that would later become infamous.

But after years and years of controversy, Clive Davis announced in March 2007 that Houston would be heading back into the studio to work on a new studio project. The product of these sessions became I Look To You. I have listened to the album a couple times and below is my track my track review!

Million Dollar Bill: Whitney knows how to start an album. The beginning of the Alicia Keys penned track starts off with Whitney singing “Oooh…” before going into the groovy feel good dance track. Swizz really did his thing on this song. It will have you moving within the first few lines and Whitney sounds amazing on it. Even without having any high notes to reach, you will notice that the voice is still there. (4/5)

From the two tracks we’ve heard so far, it seems that Whitney’s new album is shaping up really nicely. We love the song and even though she doesn’t go into crazy notes like she used to, her voice still sounds amazing. It’s definitely good to have some real talent back in the game. Hopefully she will see the huge success she deserves with this album.

Here’s what singer Whitney Houston had to say to Rihanna, following the release of a graphic photo of the 21-year-old singer’s battered face after her alleged fight with boyfriend Chris Brown. She’s basically telling her to not take him back. Too late for that, right?

“Don’t make the same mistakes I did. Whenever you let your heart rule your head, you are bound to run into trouble,” Houston said in a statement to Hollyscoop.com.

This past Friday, legendary R&B singer Whitney Houston and her publicist put out a statement denying any allegations that she has plans to get back together with ex-husband Bobby Brown. According Houston’s publicist, Nancy Seltzer, the rumors, which originaly came from The Chicago Sun Times are “a complete fabrication.”

The official word from Camp Houston sticks to the old line about the divorced couple remaining separate, ‘but good friends whose primary interest is the well-being of their daughter.’ Yet, several Georgia sightings of Houston and Brown in recent days — clearly looking very romantic while dining together — seem to boost the reliability of what I’m hearing. I’m also hearing that the divorced couple’s daughter Bobbi Kristina is eager for her parents to remarry.

The official album cover for legendary R&B singer Whitney Houston’s latest release, Undefeated, has hit the internet. After becoming the butt of every joke involving a crackhead, does she still have the “it” factor to make this new release succesful? Let us know what you think about the cover in the comments!

UPDATE: We just got word that the picture at the top of this post is not an official album cover for Whitney Houston’s new album. I’m not even sure if they’ve given her new release a name yet. And if you questioned the look of the album, then your suspicions were correct because it is the product of a job done in Photoshop. Apparently a fan at a Whitney Houston fansite made this cover … and did a pretty damn good job! But we here at Gossip On This are here to tell you that it’s fake. We’ll let you know when the real cover hits the net. Keep it locked! Continue reading to see the original image.

As of yet, there is no set release date, but we’ll keep you updated. In the meantime, here’s an official statement from Houston’s camp.

The allegedly “new” Whitney Houston album cover circulating throughout the internet is not a legitimate

album cover for Ms. Houston’s forthcoming Arista disc. Ms. Houston is still recording and we look forward to unveiling new music along with the official

album cover in due time.

Whitney Houston and Ray J (pictured above) attended the Hopkins vs. Calzaghe “Battle of The Planet” boxing match in Vegas Saturday night (Apr. 19th). The fight was very close and Joe Calzaghe was declared the winner by split-decision. Bernard Hopkins obviously didn’t agree with the judges’ decision:

“The world knows, the fans know, other than the Brits, know I won this fight,” Hopkins said. “Look at my face. I don’t have any bruises. I busted him up. I hit him with short right hands and I controlled the pace like a true veteran.”

Other photographed celebrities who attended the event include Jay-Z, Tom Jones, and Simon Cowell. Follow the break to check out the rest of the photos!

Bobbi Kristina, daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, was photographed (see above) smoking with a friend. Well, I’ll tell you one thing. Judging by the candid snapshot above, she ain’t so “little” anymore! Guess how old she is! 18? Nah. 17? Lower. 16? Guess again. 15? Almost there. 14? Yes! Bobbi Kristina is only 14 years old and photos of her and a friend smoking weed are making their rounds across the ‘net. Monkey see, monkey do … right? Well apparently this monkey needs a belt to that ass! Nippy, get your child…

EDIT: A lot of people are saying that she’s smoking “Hookah,” and not marijuana like I originally stated. Nevertheless, she’s too young to be doing ANY type of smoking.
