Last night Whitney
was on Monday Night Football at the beginning of the telecast. At
the very start of the opening you see a hand reaching for some popcorn
out of a bowl - and then you see Whitney munching on the popcorn!
At that point she says, "Are you ready for some football?" And then
they go to the music of the usual opening. It was a total shock to
see. Short - but nice. (submitted by Alan.B.) |

by the way, Whitney Houston was in 'n' out faster than you can say

I want to tell
the fans about this Big Korean Internet Music Store, located in
Los Angeles. You can visit their web site at www.music-plaza.com.
They deliver to the USA, possibly other countries, too. Go to their
webpage, and search using "Whitney", in the Artist Search.
Then your search results will yield "My Love Is Your Love"
album... It's only USD$13 -- really cheap! It's the same price as
the normal album. You can also see the picture of the album cover
and the track listing. The album has all the lyrics (not in Korean
language). Anyways, this store has an English system, so you can
communicate with them in English w/o any problems. So Don't Panic
At Some Korean Words! Then good shopping, everybody!! (submitted

Whitney was not at the Lady Of Soul awards. But they did show
a live performance (MLIYL) from Mannheim, Germany. During the performance
Whitney wore a black shirt, her long green feathered coa t(I think
that was the material, not sure) pink flower painted pants with silver
bealt attached to the waist and black boats, all Dolce & Gabbana.
Bobbie Kris also performed with her she wore a white baby doll dress
(it flares out at the end) with a white jacket over it. (submitted

Whitney is in Sheffield NOW!!!!!
I can't believe whats just happened... I thought that because Whitney
is playing Sheffield tomorrow night that she would be here already
so i thought i would check out The Stakis Hotel, a 5 star hotel
here in Sheffield. I walked in with a friend and within 15 minutes
of me being sat in the lobby, a large range rover pulled up and
in walked Whitney!!! She was dressed in an over coat and was wearing
a hat. Her brother Gary was constantly walking around... it was
so cool... I also saw her in the bar in the dorchester hotel in
London in February. [see Feb./99 nippy

I was going through
some of my tapes and noticed on one of them a show from VH1 called
"Mother Lode". It had Cissy on it, talking about Whitney and they

Gallery. (submitted by: Stacy X.?)
Back 2 School Tip: If you get new books for school, you
probably cover them with ugly brown paper bags you get at the super
market, to protect them from "ware and tare". Well, you can go to
your local record stores and ask for their old posters. Th ey may
have old posters of MLIYL, or even TPW OST promos lying around.
You can usually get them for free. (also try your local movie rental
place for TPW and Cindy movie posters) Then you can use these "nice"
posters to cover your books with and you'll be the coolest kid in
class! (submitted by: Rachel D.)

Chart update: MLIYL #4 in Holland.
Q: The USA maxi single for MLIYL has a remix by "Wyclef featuring
Dyme". Is this the same song as the other "Wyclef Remix" we already
know about? or is it different?
A: the two Wyclef Remixes on the two MLIYL single versions are
slightly different. When the Wyclef Mix starts with: "For
40 days and 40 nights", the Wyclef feat. Dyme Mix has a different
text. And in the end, they say something about Whitney (I didn't
already understand what). (submitted by: Dominik)
Did you know that the Single called: Part 2 of a 2 CD set
that they sell as a UK Import at Virgin Megastore is not the same
one as we have here in germany? The cover is the same but while
the "Virgin Import" has "Saving all my love for you" and "Didnīt
we almost have it all" as B-side tracks, the german single Nr. 2
contains:
1. Radio Edit
2. Wyclef feat. Dyme
3. Jonathan peters tight mix
4. Thunderpuss radio mix
5. Marvel & Eily south mix
(submitted by: Dominik)

selling more than 100,000 copies. The album is currently at #5 on

I ran across this in an entertainment news letter. They were dissing
Britney Spears and mentioned Whitney.
«If Britney really wanted to clean up her act, she would get
some calssy tour outfits. Possibly like Whitney Houston's new ones,
now that is classy. Actually, Britney would need some workout videos
before wearing clothes like Whitney. Unlike Miss Houston, Britney
has abs of flab.» (submitted by: Danielle X.?.)

OK, i really don't know if this was a publicity stunt by the tv
show Extra to get you to watch,
but I'm tuning in tomorrow. It's going to be on 9-3 and they were
talking about Whitney and Will Smith and dancing and then they mentioned
Fatima (the famous choreographer who is famous for workin with the
Backstreet Boys). I don't know how they tied this all in but is
she gonna work with them? I'll update you but don't expect for much.
It might be just a publicity stunt, like i said. (submitted by:
