ALBUM COVER !? Based on the fact that Arista has censured this picture, claiming that (...) the site has reproduced copyrighted artwork from a Whitney Houston album which has not yet been commercially released. This artwork is owned by Arista Records, and has not been authorized for reproduction and/or distribution by this web site operator.it basically confirms that this picture, now available on Manish's website, may very well be the album cover for "My Love Is Your Love".

Yet another article about BBBB. Does WH need this bad press?
Do you remember the EW article that put MC's name in front of WH's while referring to The Duet? Well, I got a response from the writer of the article. It turns out many of you were also miffed as his obvious mistake, but Josh Wolk (that's his name) has a good excuse. Read his e-mail response).

I found out
that the single will be different to the one getting played on radio (in Australia).
The one that has been released to radio is not the normal version,
instead it will be used more to link in with the movie. Apparently
Whitney and Mariah sing a bit of Boys II Men and Reba's songs from the
upcoming POE soundtrack as well in this version. The Australian radio
version may differ to the U.S. version because the movie gets released
at a different time. I got this info from Sony Australia. I will try
and record it tomorrow!

A Sony source talks to Miguel G. about the duet. New lyrics added: 'I Wanna Be Where You Are', 'Don't Cry', 'You Send Me', 'Stop To Love' and 'Sweet Love'. WH has sold 90 million albums.

The current VANITY FAIR w/Brad Pitt on the cover does a tribute to the 200 most influential women honoring the likes of Oprah, Diane Sawyer, and other female power brokers. There is a section on divas and Whitney is one of the selected few. She is the youngest diva honored along with Madonna, Tina Turner, Joni Mitchell, Aretha Franklin, and Barbara Streisand. Too bad Annie Leibovitz didn't do a photo of these music/pop culture icons together. Instead there is an illustration of the six divas. Whitney's new album is mentioned as is her streak of seven consecutive #1 singles. NOW IF ONLY VANITY FAIR CAN FINALLY GIVE WHITNEY HER LONG OVERDUE COVER!!! (submitted by: Arunesh R.)

I was searching through CDnow and I looked up
Faith Evans new album, "Keep the Faith," and the
tracklisting states that Whitney is featured on a
song entitled "I Got Five on It." I highly doubt
that this is a remake of the short-lived rap
group, The Luniz's song of the same title.

In romance news, the controversy-filled relationship of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown is as strong as ever. "They're doing great," Whitney's cousin, Dionne Warwick, tells the Daily News. "In fact, they've renewed their vows." The former Psychic Friends network talking head says she's "very proud" that Houston has stood by the recently jailed Bad Boy, adding, "It's takes a lot of courage, belief, and faith." (from Mr. Showbiz; submitted by: Charles H.) Tune in to Entertainment Tonight for a FIRST LOOK at Whitney in the studio with Faith Evans and Kelly Price + producers SoulShock & Karlin. If you missed it, read Rachel's Report for the LYRICS to the song entitled "Heartbreak Hotel"! The PC Club has tickets for sale for the Taj Mahal concert(s). The tix are $217. I dunno if that's for EACH ticket or for the pair. DO NOT E-MAIL ME FOR INFO! Call the Platinum Club yourself. Whitney will attend the GQ Men of the Year Award in NYC on Oct. 31!

In the November issue of "Sister 2 Sister"
with Toni Braxton on the cover, there is a short
article on page 18 about Whitney's birthday party.
It basically just said who was all there and that
Whitney and Bobby entered the party dancing :)
There is also a small but great pic of the party,
showing Whitney and Bobby getting down on the
dance floor. Whitney had on a nice black dress
with chanpange in one hand and her other hand in
the air. She had the expression on her face that
you know she was feeling the groove and gettin'
down! I'm so glad to see pics of her happy. The
little pic was worth the $2.95. It's the 10th
anniversary issue, so there's all kinds of good
stories and tidbits. Check it out! (submitted by: Pat R.)
