RUMOR DE UN DUO ENTRE WHITNEY Y ALICIA KEYS

In my Thursday column I wrote: "Now actress Jessica Alba and boyfriend Cash Warren are preggers! As are Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry and Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. These out-of-wedlock scenarios coming out of Hollywood send the wrong message to young STUPID GIRLS and BOYS."
HERE ARE JUST a few of my readers' responses: Yeah, they said it! (Ha!)
"Ms. Foster, I want to hug you for your comments on Thursday re: out of wedlock babies.
It is so sad that it's ok to have sex outside of marriage. We always talk about God this or God that but do not live according to His Word. As much as I love Oprah, the hairs stand up on my neck when she has shows that condone shacking and sex. Our young people don't see anything wrong with sleeping around. They love talking about my 'baby daddy' or my 'baby momma' as if it is a badge of honor. When we see so many reports in the paper and children of the same family have 4 to 5 different last names. The news is full of entertainment drama. Stars get on TV and tell how they were pursued by another while still married. Sports figures change women and men like underwear. Kobe, Michael and Shaq have shameful episodes in their lives that were strictly caused by sex, unfaithfulness and that's just a few. Movie stars can't seem to get it together. And these are the ones our youth emulate.
Say it again and again my sister, it's hard enough out here without bringing a child in the world drama. When these children get in school there are more problems. Children need a mother and father who are married and committed to each other. I really thank you for putting it out there. Thank you again."
C. Howard
"I agree, these out-of-wedlock by choice of so-called powerful influence peddling people are sending the wrong message. At least you have courage to speak up while others such as Oprah endorses it."
A. Mauri
"Great call on the unmarried pregnant movie stars! . . . I teach 6th grade Sunday school and am very quick to point out to the 12- and 13-year-olds that this is not the way to go. I also point out that the baby is not the sin. What the people did to get that baby was the sin. Keep telling it like it is!"
M. Hauser
LOCAL BACHELORS off the market: Congrats to former ad exec Tom Burrell on his marriage to the lovely Madeleine Moore, a New York businesswoman. . . . Dr. Cuttie Bacon III, a bachelor for over 24 years, will marry Northern Trust Bank VP Juliane Batts on Saturday in a private ceremony in Louisville, Ky. Bacon also bought a new Silver Seraph Rolls Royce, one of only 170 made in the world, to tool around in with his lady love. . . . Longtime on the singles set, businessman Ralph Moore is engaged to education consultant/vocalist Marguerite Mariama and plans to wed in Vegas in August. . . . Long may they all love!
THE BEST TV commercials -- The very creative TJ Maxx holiday spots . . . and the new Nike spot with the NBA's LeBron James. He delivers a powerful message to kids. And, the worst -- still Geico.
INSIDERS ARE WHISPERING that Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys may do a duet together for the 50th annual Grammys Feb. 10 at the Staples Center in L.A.
GOSPEL diva Yolanda Adams puts in an appearance on WMAQ-Channel 5's "In the Loop with iVillage" on Wednesday. And on Dec. 26, noted local Chef Julius Russell will be cooking with host Kim Coles. . . . Congrats to Faye Watson and her Fanfare Catering biz celebrating 28 years of serving up tasty dishes.
HAVING FUN: The Bears' Greg Olsen and White Sox pitcher Bobby Jenks eatin' large and signing autographs at separate tables at Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse. On another night at the eatery, baseball's Randy Bush, Rick Stelmaszek, ESPN's Lester Munson and boxing champ David Diaz graced the eatery. . . . Cardinal Francis George hosted a private holiday party at the Holy Name rectory last Friday. The guests included Bishop Timothy Lyne, attorney Robert DeMeo and wife, Lynn, the Rev. Mike Novick and Joe Fosco. . . . Author/attorney Laura Caldwell celebrating her latest book, The Good Liar, with media friends Sherren Leigh, Christine Garcia, Jenniffer Weigel and Pat Colander at RL.
CONGRATS to WBBM-Channel 2 anchor/reporter Suzanne LeMignot and her hubby who are infanticipating their first child in March. . . . And is Connie Payton, widow of NFL great Walter Payton, heading to the altar again? Just asking!
BIRTHDAY BRAGGING: Mike Sheahan, Lettuce Entertain You's Ann Johnson, Marg Abrams, Brad Pitt, Katie Holmes and Christina Aguilera. On Wednesday: Cicely Tyson and consultant James Strong.

“The ultimate collection” Llega a ARGENTINA
Mientras se prepara para regresar en 2008 con un esperado nuevo disco de estudio, Whitney Houston aparece en las bateas argentinas con una placa compilatoria, “The ultimate collection”, que reúne los mayores éxitos de la diva.
En esta nueva antología, la tercera en su carrera, no faltan ni sus éxitos tempranos —como “I Wanna Dance with Somebody”, “Greatest Love of All”, y “Saving All My Love For You”— ni sus canciones más contemporáneas, como “I Will Always Love You”, “Exhale (Shoop Shoop)” y “When you relieve”, a dúo con su otrora rival Ma-riah Carey. Se trata de un recorrido por una carrera que nació en 1983 y que abarcó desde el soul clásico hasta el pop urbano y, por supuesto, las grandes baladas.
Gracias a una potente voz y una fuerte presencia escénica, Houston consiguió vender más de 170 millones de discos a lo largo de su carrera. En el último lustro, sin embargo, su figura se vio opacada por diferentes escándalos relacionados con violencia familiar y drogas.
Felizmente divorciada del rapero Bobby Brown, Houston se encuentra en estos momentos grabando un nuevo disco, que se espera esté a la venta a mediados del próximo año. “The ultimate collection” busca calmar la ansiedad de sus fanáticos y acercarle un compendio de sus éxitos al público en general.

RUMORES SOBRE POSIBLES ACTUACIONES O APARICIONES DE WHITNEY
"Before I could tell you about it, they were gone. It took less than 6 hours on Thursday for passholder tickets for the taping of the Walt Disney World Christmas Day parade to be snapped up. I knew they went quickly because I hadn't been able to secure reservations in past years. But 6 hours? Unbelieveable.
Earlier this week, a note appeared on the passholder Web site, indicating that in November we would be able to submit requests for the Nov. 30 taping of celebrity performances on the castle stage in the Magic Kingdom. That especially interested me because of the expected performers: 'High School Musical' stars, Billy Ray Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, Joey Fatone and Drew Lachey, Josh Groban, Harlem Boys Choir and Whitney Houston. The lineup has not been confirmed by Disney, but I did find it on an online source that has been accurate in the past.
If you were not one of the lucky ones and you want to see the taping, you still can.
The Magic Kingdom is open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. that day, which means you can arrive an hour after those with reserved tickets. Also, the following day, Dec. 1, Disney will be taping the Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin segments. The park opens at 9 a.m. that day as well.
Be forewarned: It might not be worth your while. My family went last year without tickets and it was incredibly difficult to navigate Main Street. Cast members were firm in not allowing anyone inside the ropes who didn't have a wristband, which meant we couldn't see much over the crowd of spectators that were a dozen or more deep.
Much as my husband and I thought we made a mistake going that day, my children would disagree. In the afternoon, we had a short, unobstructed view of Corbin Bleu, Ashley Tisdale, Monique Coleman and Lucas Grabeel practicing for the taping."

David Foster into a recording studio with Whitney

THE earlier mentioned Owen Wilson plus Mike Myers plus two giggling blondes at the Waverly Inn . . . Mel Brooks almost seemed fragile opening night of "Young Frankenstein." I asked what he'd done for luck. He said: "I ate chicken salad." . . . Nice that ex-WABC-TV anchor Steve Bartelstein, fighting cancer and all bald, is now a WCBS-TV anchor. Also nice that I reported all that info loooonggg ago. . . . Grammy-winning arranger David Foster into a recording studio with Grammy-winning Whitney Huston....

Ne-Yo birthday
Before heading to his birthday bash though, Ne-Yo enjoyed the models at the Hugo Boss Black Label fashion show where he told OK!, "I bought myself a 'Happy Birthday to Me' gift, the Bentley Coup, the convertible one." Also in the front row watching the show were Kate Winslet, Julianne Moore, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Kristin Davis.
Joey Fatone and three members of Boyz II Men – Shawn Stockman, Nate Morris and Wanya Morris – hit the "white carpet" and poker tables at the first Annual Vail Hold’Em Poker Event for Your Cause battling it out to win 100k for their charities. Unfortunately, they didn't make it to the final rounds.

APARICIÓN DE WHITNEY 18 DE OCTUBRE






Whitney Houston made a career comeback at the Fashion Rocks show in London last night.
The singer turned up at the live fashion and music event, at London's Royal Albert Hall, wearing a white Valentino gown.
She walked on stage at the finale to a standing ovation, and in a reference to her most famous song she told the audience: 'I will always love you - very much.'
Houston was there to make a speech about the good work done by the Prince's Trust.
An insider said the 44-year-old had 'demanded' white jewellery to match her dress which included exclusive diamonds from de Grisogono.

WHITNEY HOUSTON ACTUARÁ EN LIVE & LOUD KL 2007

Houston was able to handle big adult contemporary ballads, effervescent, stylish dance-pop, and slick urban contemporary soul with equal dexterity; the result was an across-the-board appeal that was matched by scant few artists of her era, and helped her become one of the first coloured artists to find success on MTV in Michael Jackson’s wake.
Like many of the original soul singers, Houston was trained in gospel before moving into secular music; over time, she developed a virtuosic singing style given over to swooping, flashy melodic embellishments. The shadow of Houston’s prodigious technique still looms large over nearly ever pop diva and smooth urban soul singer – male or female – in her wake, and spawned a legion of imitators.
Always more of a singles artist, Houston largely shied away from albums during the ‘90s, releasing the bulk of her most popular and award-winning material on the soundtracks of films in which she appeared. Whichever path she chooses to take, any step she decides to take, her status as an icon will never diminish.

ENTREVISTA A WILL.I.AM, DE BLACK EYED PEAS

"Cierro la cortina y me quedo en esta caja, sólo con mi computadora sin saber qué hora es, eso me permite ser creativo", explica mientras, con el control remoto, cierra herméticamente la ventana. "Tengo todo arreglado como para conectarme con el estudio y grabar desde Londres o México o donde sea", se agranda.
Aunque diseña las ropas de los hombres del grupo ("es que con Apl.de.Ap. y Taboo fuimos al secundario juntos"), el diseñador recibido en el Fashion Institute de Los Angeles se presenta de entrecasa: sombrero bordeau, jeans y chaleco negro sobre remera blanca. Will.I.Am tiene disco nuevo (Songs About Girls), y el mundo lo conocerá el 25 de setiembre, justo cuando él estará con su grupo en el Pepsi Music.
-¿Les gustó la primera visita a Buenos Aires, en noviembre del 2006?
-Estoy muy excitado con la idea de volver. Recuerdo que había muchos teens en las primeras filas, me caen re bien, yo fui adolescente alguna vez. Esta vez vamos por dos días, ojalá conozcamos más el país.
-¿Cómo será esta vez el show?
-Voy a presentar un par de temas de mi álbum solista y Fergie va a hacer por lo menos 4 temas del suyo y después haremos canciones de BEP. Lo importante es divertirse y pasar un buen rato.
Mientras habla, panea por los archivos musicales de su computadora y de paso exhibe su trabajo como productor. "Acá tengo temas que quedaron afuera del primer disco de Fergie, creo que haremos otro para Navidad; estos los hice para Mariah (Carey); me encantó éste que grabamos con Whitney (Houston). Estos son los del álbum de Taboo; estos van de cajón en el próximo álbum de BEP (saldrá a fines del 2008) y acá están los de Michael Jackson: tres terminados, cuatro en marcha".
-¿Timbaland dijo que se moría por producir a Jackson pero él te eligió a vos. ¿Cómo fue?
-Me llamó por teléfono. Yo le decia, come on, no jodan'. Y él con su vocecita (lo imita) decía no, en serio, soy Michael Jackson'. Grabamos en Irlanda y en Las Vegas. Quiero que sea un disco para que baile la gente, con buenas melodías y que se escuche muy limpio. Ese es mi aporte.
-Hablás del nuevo disco solista de Fergie. ¿La podrán retener en el grupo?
-Ojalá. Creo que sí, porque BEP tiene una dinámica muy especial, todos podemos ser solistas y a la vez seguir con el grupo. Pero ya éramos BEP antes de que ella llegara. Si no podemos, igual vamos a seguir sacando discos.
-Decís que "Songs About Girls" es autobiográfico. ¿Qué te llevó a hacerlo?
-Empecé a escribir canciones y todas me salieron personales. Necesitaba hacer catarsis. Tuve una relación muy larga, desde los 20 a los 27, que terminó muy mal. Y la última también. Necesito sacarme sentimientos de encima para seguir creciendo. Todos en algún momento tuvimos el corazón roto. Sólo que yo decidí hacer un disco para curar el mío.
PRESS CONFERENCE ON ‘WORLD PEACE TOUR 4 CHILDREN’

The “World Peace Tour 4 Children” is the brainchild of Wolfgang Hildebrandt, a well-known German vocalist and activist, and Lavika Bhagat Singh, Chief Operating Officer of Charity Network Inc., a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., which campaigns against trafficking in children.
“Children are the future, and when children have no future, nobody has a future,” said Mr. Hildebrandt, at a press conference sponsored by the Permanent Mission of Germany to the United Nations.
“We will start (the Tour) with the first concert on April 22, the official Earth Day, in Namibia,” he said. “We will go after this to South Africa. We will go to India, to South Korea, to Tokyo -- everywhere… We really want to be a light in the darkness.”
Joining the Tour would be Kool and the Gang, Peabo Bryson (who sang with Celine Dion on the soundtrack of Beauty and the Beast), Andrea Bocelli, Carlos Santana, Quincy Jones and Whitney Houston, said Mr. Hildebrant, adding that former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev would act as master of ceremonies. The actor Richard Gere would also participate.
Also at today’s press conference was Promod Sharma, a successful information technology entrepreneur, philanthropist, and founder of Charity Network, who explained that proceeds would go to both Charity Network and local organizations that reached out to disadvantaged children. “We want to have local artists, local governments, become part of the whole movement.” Funds raised in one area would be spent in that same area, “to help those kids in that area”. The Tour would be a long-term venture, he said, adding, “We want to be able to make sure we come through with this and that it stays with us for a long time.”
Namibia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Kaire Munionganda Mbuende, told correspondents it was “no coincidence” that the “World Peace Tour 4 Children” would begin in his country, as Namibia had been the first to enshrine the rights of the child in its Constitution.
He expressed concern that the situation for children has been “deteriorating”, saying: “We are not only dealing with the question of trafficking in children. We are having a situation of a lot of orphans because of HIV/AIDS. We are having a situation where children are actually heads of households because their parents have died -– you have children taking care of children… Unless you do something about the situation of children, the future would be very bleak for a lot of our countries.”
Also lending support to the “World Peace Tour 4 Children” was the United Nations former Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States, Anwarul K. Chowdhury. He noted how the Tour coincided with the United Nations-declared International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World, which runs through 2010.
“I think this Peace Tour will give the final years of the decade a big boost,” Mr. Chowdhury said. Turning to the organizers, he added: “The heart of the World Peace Tour is education… You will be bringing educational materials, opportunities for education for the children -- and I believe that that’s a wonderful thing.”

Akon Raves About Working With Whitney Houston
He did say that the tracks he records with Whitney Houston will reflect her real, personal life.
"I'm starting on Whitney's project," he said. "She's the truth. She's undeniable. She's got so much to think about, sing about. This album is going to be one of the biggest albums she decided to put out. She has so much energy, so much happiness and sadness to incorporate into the album. Her voice is strong enough to deliver any message she wants to sing to the world. It's outta here."

Time-Life & BET J to Release All Star Gospel Christmas CD Featuring Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys and Bryan Wilson
On September 25, 2007 Time-Life and BET J will jointly present Love's Holiday: A Gospel Christmas. The fourteen track compilation features both traditional and new gospel-inspired Christmas recordings by both established gospel artists and their R&B peers. It opens with Donald Lawrence & the Tri-City Singers funky "Love's Holiday" which also features the soul-savvy vocals of the quartet, Men of Standard.
There are soulful ballads such as pop star Alicia Keys' reinterpretation of "Little Drummer Boy" as "Little Drummer Girl." Dove Award nominated belter Ann McCrary gives a nuanced, jazzy performance on her self-penned, "Remember Not to Forget Jesus." Gospel heartthrobs, the Kenoly Brothers, turn in soulful harmonies on "Why I Love You (You Are My Joy)" while Patti LaBelle proclaims Jesus is the "Reason for the Season" on that dramatic cut.
For fans of traditional carols, there's Gladys Knight & the Pips' "Do You Hear What I Hear?", Vanessa Bell Armstrong's "The Christmas Medley", Luther Vandross' "O Come All Ye Faithful" and Coko & SWV's pristine rendition of "O Holy Night." The Grammy-winning Mighty Clouds of Joy, who are still going strong after over 40 years in the business, do a solid cover of the Temptations' evergreen version of "Silent Night."
Young gospel star Bryan Wilson rocks around the Christmas tree with his conga-flavored "The Savior Has Come"; sister act, Mary Mary, has the tambourines clapping on the festive retro-soul styled "Tis the Season"; and vocal gymnast, Cristina Aguilera, heralds the good news on "Angels We Have Heard on High". Arguably, one of the most influential women of the last generation (in both pop and gospel circles), Whitney Houston, closes the collection and takes us straight to church on her rousing "Joy to the World" which is backed by the Georgia Mass Choir."

WHITNEY ASKED TO PERFORM IN NAMBIA IN 2008 FOR CHILDRENS
A german news site reported that Whitney was asked to perform on this concert: www.worldpeacetour4children.org in Namibia in 2008.
They didn't say if she accepted or not, they only said they asked her (and Celine Dion) and were waiting for her reply.

Windhoek - Das namibische Kabinett hat am Dienstag die Konzertidee begrüßt und gebilligt, nachdem Vizepremierministerin Libertine Amathila das Thema auf die Tagesordnung der Sitzung gebracht hatte. Sie hatte am Montag Besuch von Wolfgang Hildebrandt, Vorsitzender des von den Vereinten Nationen (UN) geförderten Projekts World Peace Tour for Children, in dessen Rahmen von 2008 bis 2010 eine Konzertreihe stattfinden soll. Der Auftakt ist laut Hildebrandt für den 22. April 2008 in Windhoek (Independence-Stadion) geplant, weitere fest stehende Veranstaltungsorte sind Südafrika (Johannesburg oder Kapstadt, am 18. Juli anlässlich des 90. Geburtstags von Nelson Mandela), Kalkutta, Kiew, Los Angeles, Mumbai (früher Bombay), Seoul und Tokio. Während die Ausrichtung der Großveranstaltungen von Sponsoren finanziert würde, sollen die Eintrittsgelder jeweils gemeinnützigen Projekten vor Ort zugute kommen. In Namibia soll der Erlös an HIV/Aids-Projekte fließen, wozu die Vizepremierministerin entsprechende Vorschläge unterbreiten will.
„Der Termin für das Konzert in Windhoek ist nicht zufällig gewählt: Denn der 22. April ist der World Earth Day (Aktionstag für die Erde – wird seit 1970 begangen, die Red.)“, erklärte Hildebrandt gestern im AZ-Gespräch. „Bei einer Pressekonferenz am 21. September im UN-Hauptsitz in New York werden wir den Termin des Konzerts in Windhoek der Welt mitteilen“, führte er aus und hatte zudem noch eine gute Nachricht parat: „Heute früh hat Andrea Bocelli sein Kommen zugesagt.“ Damit sind nun mit Cool and The Gang sowie Paebo Bryson (er verhalf Céline Dion im Jahre 1992 im Duett mit dem Lied „Beauty And The Beast“ zum gleichnamigen Disney-Zeichentrickfilm „Die Schöne und das Biest“ zum Durchbruch) insgesamt drei Weltstars verpflichtet. Damit nicht genug: „Am Donnerstag erwarten wir noch die Zusage von Céline Dion oder Whitney Houston“, so Hildebrandt. Mit den namibischen Künstlern, die als lokales Pendant auftreten sollen, würden derzeit Gespräche geführt, darunter mit Gazza, Stefan Ludik und Sunny Boy.
Gestern hat Windhoeks Bürgermeister Matheus Shikongo seine Unterstützung für das Konzert zugesagt. „Ich begrüße die Initiative sehr und bin stolz, dass Windhoek als Veranstaltungsort ausgesucht wurde. Als Gastgeber werden wir alles tun, um den Gästen ihren Aufenthalt so angenehm wir möglich zu machen und das Projekt zum Erfolg zu bringen“, sagte er bei einem Treffen mit Projektleiter Hildebrandt. Er schlug zudem vor, eine Großleinwand in der Innenstadt zu installieren, auf der Interessierte, die nicht ins Stadion gehen, das Konzert verfolgen können.

Aretha Franklin Gets Crowned
Entitled Jewels In The Crown: All Star Duets With The Queen, the album will feature Franklin teaming up with a diverse array of performers including Keith Richards, Whitney Houston, Annie Lennox, George Michael, Mariah Carey, Frank Sinatra, Mary J Blige, and John Legend, just to name a few.
The first single from the album will be "Put You Up On Game," a duet with American Idol's Fantasia, which will be released to radio on October 1st.
Tracks on the album include: "It Isn't, It Wasn't, It Ain't Never Gonna Be" (with Whitney Houston), "What Y'All Came To Do" (with John Legend), "Doctor's Orders" (with Luther Vandross), "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves" (with Annie Lennox), "Jumping Jack Flash" (with Keith Richards), "Through The Storm" (with Elton John), "What Now My Love" (with Frank Sinatra), "I Knew You Were Waiting" (with George Michael), "Ever Changing Times" (with Michael McDonald), "Love All The Hurt Away" (with George Benson), "A Natural Woman (You Make Me Feel Like)" (with Bonnie Raitt and Gloria Estefan), "Chain Of Fools" (with Mariah Carey) and "Don't Waste My Time" and "Never Gonna Break My Faith" (with Mary J. Blige and with the Harlem Boys Choir on the latter).
The album concludes with Franklin's performance of "Nessum Dorma," the aria from Act III of Puccini's Turandot. Hardcore music fans may recall that Franklin stepped in at the last minute and performed the aria in place of ailing tenor Luciano Pavarotti at the Grammy awards world wide telecast in February 1998. With just eight minutes of preparation backstage, she sang it with the 72-piece orchestra in Pavarotti's key (three steps lower than her own) .
