Article: Whitney Houston is back in the princess business.

Happy birthday, Whitney!

Contest winner = the Paul from Pittburgg who sings totally off-key. Why? Because he showed the most courage by putting his voice to Whitney's music, despite not being the best singer in the world. Many of us chickened out. This guy gave it all he had, and U can tell when you listen to his version of "You Were Loved". Congrats! The rest of the contestants were so incredibly terrific! I was blown away by all the entries. Who knew we had such talented Whitney-fans online. I really didn't expect to like the submissions that much. Since you all deserve a prize, you're all getting one!

Today, in "Future Rocks" program, on Future TV-Lebanon, they showed a newly released album called "Ladies Only" or something like that. As the title indicates, the cover has (Half-faces) of many female artists. Some of the artists in it are: Spice Girls (yuck!), Shanaya, Mariah, and of course our one and only, Whitney Houston. I don't know the songs, but after that, they played the first part of INRBIOK. I wonder whether it is an international album, or only in the middle east??!! (submitted by: Nimer R.)

(From www.planetjackson.com) Quote from Missy Elliott
American rapper and producer Missy Elliott was recently interviewed by "Interview" magazine. Here's an excerpt from the article.
— Do you ever take a second to look back and appreciate all the great things that have happened to you?
— Oh, yeah. I remember in school writing Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson and asking them to come get me out of class. I would imagine them running down the hall and asking my teacher, "Ms. Daniels, can we get Missy out of class? We're here to see Missy." My imagination was always wild like that. So when I got a call from Janet, just to hear her say she loved my music, it was like a blessing. It was a dream come true to get a call from Mariah, to get a call from Whitney. Those are major people I've always dreamed of working with, and now I'm just waiting on Michael Jackson to call...
— What about LaToya? You never wrote LaToya?
— [laughs] No, I didn't get a chance to write LaToya.
