Crave Worthy: Brenda Houston's Agate Wood Root Table

CasaSugar — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 10:00:00 -0700

I just got a sneak peek of some new lamps, tables, and jewelry that Texas-based designer Brenda Houston is debuting at the Architectural Digest Home Show, which kicks off today in New York - the words crave worthy don't even begin to describe her work! I'm completely head over heels in love with her natural wood root tables topped with slabs of polished agate. They're perfect parts organic, raw, and indulgent. I'd love to use one as a bedside table, but really they'd look fabulous beside any sort of seating.

Houston also expands her collection of mineral table lamps with a new Honeycomb Calcite Lamp made with a mineral from Utah and a Rainbow Fluorite Lamp from Argentina, among others. All of her products use eco-friendly and organic materials, steel, and LED lights. You can peruse her website for store locations, and one-of-a-kind items are available at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. Take a look and tell me what you think!

Whitney Houston’s Daughter Tried To Stab Her Mom And Kill Herself

justingirl1989 — Thu, 01 May 2008 09:30:24 -0700

This story is so sad. Whitney Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina tried to stab her mom during an argument and then slit her wrists in a suicide attempt. This was just a few days before her 15th birthday. Part of Bobbi Kristina’s problem is that she doesn’t want to live with Whitney anymore. She is now in a psychiatric ward in Atlanta, hopefully getting the help she needs.

Whitney Houston Sued – by Her Stepmom!

justingirl1989 — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 07:41:50 -0800

Christmas dinner is gonna be so awkward!

Whitney Houston is being sued by her own stepmother.

According to the lawsuit, Barbara Houston claims the singer pocketed a $1-million life insurance payout from her late father's estate, E! Online reports.

But, Barbara claims, $723,000 of that was supposed to go toward the mortgage on the New Jersey condo she shared with John Houston, who died in 2003. (Once the mortgage was paid off, the suit alleges, the rest of the cash would be given to the stepmother.)

Lawyers for both sides refused to comment on the pending suit, E! said.

Meanwhile, Whitney Houston continues to work on her comeback with music mogul Clive Davis. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20247590,00.html

Dionne Warwick: Whitney Houston Will Overcome Everything

justingirl1989 — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 07:30:03 -0700

With a new album in the works, Whitney Houston is standing strong against allegations from ex-husband Bobby Brown, says Houston's aunt, soul singer Dionne Warrick.

"Whitney Houston is back!" Warrick told PEOPLE before taking the stage to perform some of her own songs at Muhammad Ali's Celebrity Fight Night XIV event in Phoenix on Friday night

"I'm thrilled that she's in the studio and working on her new album," Warwick, 67, said of her niece. "No doubt she's overcoming everything that has been put in front of her even this week."

Last week, Brown, 39, dished on their marriage – making allegations of her drug use – as he promoted his autobiography due out next month.

But rumors are nothing new to Houston, 44, who was working on her new album when she heard the news, according to music mogul Clive Davis.

"She was just in the studio this week working on a song called 'Nothing But Love' when she heard of all this mess in the papers," Davis says.

Davis adds: "I'm sure that this week has been traumatic but she's committed and looking forward to her new life."

Bobby Brown’s son says Whitney Houston was a poor stepmother

justingirl1989 — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 10:30:43 -0700

Bobby Brown’s son Landon has revealed his former stepmother, Whitney Houston, treated him like an employee when he went to stay with the former couple.

Landon Brown says Houston was a “nightmare” to grow up with, refusing to accept him as a member of her family.

He tells the National Enquirer that his former stepmom insisted he slept in a guest house when he came to stay - and refused to let him spend time with her daughter - his half-sister - Bobbi Kristina.

He says, “Whitney and I never really got along. She didn’t necessarily hate me, but she wouldn’t really speak to me either. In Whitney’s eyes, I was the stepchild.”

He adds, “She decided to turn me into one of her security personnel. I was a teenager but I was walking around dressed up in all black with a Security shirt and she’d have me work for her. I was just another one of her staff.”

Ray J Sings About Sex With Whitney Houston

justingirl1989 — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 07:13:09 -0700

Ray J’s latest CD All I Feel is hitting store this week. If you are at all interested in hearing him sing about sex with former girlfriend Whitney Houston or talk smack about her ex husband Bobby Brown, then you are in for a real treat.

Here is just a bit of what you will hear on Ray J’s newest song that is supposedly about Whitney and Bobby:

“Is that your wife, is that your shorty, well I’m her boyfriend….I think the problem is you don’t beat it right….Making love is so cool, just pull her hair sometimes.”

WOW! He sounds like a real romeo. The girls should be lining up now for a shot at getting their hair pulled by the young Casanova. BLAH!

Houston, who has had her share of front page drama over the years, has got to be sick of these losers going back and forth. Bobby, who just came out with a tell all book, threw Whitney to the curb time and time again. First by saying that she turned him to the hard drugs and that he only smoked a little weed until he met the diva. Brown chimes in on Ray J in his book. He was ok with the 20 year age difference as long as his daughter was happy.

With Bobby looking out for the good of his daughter, expect to see a Father of the Year award coming very soon!

Bobby Brown’s new autobiography dishes on flawed marriage to Whitney Houston

justingirl1989 — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 06:46:02 -0700

Bobby Brown has written his autobiography, in “Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But,” out in bookstores next month. Brown apparently mostly focuses on his wildly flawed marriage to Whitney Houston.
Brown writes that as far as his 15-year dysfunctional marriage to Houston is concerned:

“It was doomed from the very beginning. Within the first year we separated, with several more to follow. 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.”

Whitney, he alleges, had been getting bad publicity and was under a lot of pressure:

“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. In the short, I think I got caught up in the politics and ended up marrying one of the biggest stars in the world.”

Brown seems to also blame the troubled, Grammy-winning diva, for driving him into a nightmare of drug addiction:

“I never used cocaine until after I met Whitney. Before then, I had experimented with other drugs, but marijuana was my drug of choice,” Brown writes “At one point in my life, I used drugs uncontrollably. I was using everything I could get my hands on, from cocaine to heroin, weed and cooked cocaine.”

But Brown does admit he was no saint in the marriage either, confessing in his book:

“I am guilty of sleeping with other women. Women are always throwing themselves at you. I’m only human, so I would make the mistake and bite the hook sometimes . . . I let the testosterone take over.”

One of Brown’s most well known public indiscretions was an affair with former exotic dancer Karrine “Superhead” Steffans:

“Yes, I’ve slept with her,” he confesses. “Yes, I’ve spent several nights at her house. But she was only good for what her nickname stood for.”

Bobby Brown, what a guy, and what a marriage.

Whitney Houston Comeback Album Set for Holiday Release

justingirl1989 — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 08:12:30 -0800

Celebrate Christmas with Whitney Houston.

Her long-awaited comeback album is "on track for a holiday release," BMG Label Group chairman/CEO Clive Davis revealed at Billboard's Music & Money Symposium on Thursday.

"We're not going to compromise who she is to fit into today's hip-hop radio market," he added. "The public wants Whitney material."

Four songs have already been completed for the as-yet-untitled album, he said, and four more will be finished this month.

Black Eyed Peas' Will.i.am, songwriter Sean Garrett and R&B singer Akon have penned and produced tracks.

It will be Houston's first album of original material since 2002 and since her 2006 split from husband of 14 years, Bobby Brown.

Whitney Houston plans London live comeback

justingirl1989 — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 07:15:53 -0800

Whitney Houston is set to make her live comeback in London on May 8th. Organizers of the Caudwell Children’s Legend Ball in Battersea have revealed they’ve booked the diva for a charity show. Charity founder John Caudwell tells Britain’s Marie Claire magazine, “We are thrilled to have an artist of Whitney’s calibre to headline the event.”

The comeback concert isn’t a big surprise - Tina Turner came out of retirement to perform at the charity’s 2007 gala, which helped Caudwell raise over $2 million for disabled children. Houston is currently recording a new album with her mentor, music mogul Clive Davis, who claims the comeback project will be released in November.
