Watch the Trailer For Whitney Houston's Final Movie, Sparkle

Becky Kirsch — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:40:17 PDT

It's been less than three months since Whitney Houston's tragic passing, but her legacy continues to live on in her music and film. Her final project, Sparkle, is a combination of both of those elements: the film stars Houston as a former professional singer who stands by as her three daughters (including Sparkle, played by Jordin Sparks) in their quest to stardom in the 1950s. They succeed in forming a girl group, but of course they run into the typical perils that go along with fame.

Though the film is a remake of a 1976 film of the same name, it also feels a lot like Dreamgirls to me. Still, seeing Whitney in something new pulled on my heartstrings a little - especially when she shows off her signature pipes. It's also fun to see Cee Lo Green looking practically unrecognizable in one of his first film roles. Check out the trailer and weigh in when you

A Style Ode to One of the Greatest Singers of All Time: Whitney Houston

Noria Morales — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:54:54 PST

We don't know anyone who didn't spend part of the '80s singing Whitney Houston songs (for me, "How Will I Know" got me through my first 8-year-old crush). The only artist with seven consecutive multiplatinum albums, Whitney had one of the most unforgettable voices in music and was incredibly beautiful to boot. Whitney passed away Saturday, just before the Grammy Awards, in an unexpected death that came far too early. Her passing is a tragedy, but we'll be eternally grateful for the music - really, the soundtrack to so many parts of our lives. That said, we're honoring Whitney the best way we know how: with a look at some of her most gorgeous moments on and off the red carpet. Note: one image is NSFW.
