What's this? Whitney doing a rare UK public appearance? A lovestruck Jon-Andre Holley was invited behind closed doors for a 1-1 with the mercurial pricess of pop/soul. On the agenda? Her new urban-based LP; her new movie project with Will Smith; her reported rivalry with Mariah Carey and close friend, Lauryn Hill.

Here a few quotes taken from the article that you will find interesting:

"As we speak Will (Smith) is with the writers trying to finalize the basic script."

"Will's extraordinary. He really is! He's the man that makes you feel really good...about life."

"Apparently, he (Rodney Jerkins) would come into the office (Arista) with his music, mainly, with the ambition of writing for me. His goal was to write a song for Whitney Houston. When he was 16 he wasn't ready. Then years elapsed,....as he hit 21, he brought me "INRBIO."

"I like to sing right across the board. I always wanted to reach as many people as possible. My next musical project is a country album."

"Both Mariah and I felt the same spirtual need. ... I got to know Mariah Carey and we fed off each other and became very good friends."

"Lauryn has got it all. She's one tough cookie. She's so talented and she's unique. Lauryn is my great friend. We come from the same home in New Jersey and I've known her since she was 14 or 15."

That's all the quotes that I thought that was interesting. Enjoy!!!
