oh this just made my day! it's ms. whitney houston looking quite clean & sober at the 17th carousel of hope ball which took place last night in beverly hills! it's a semi-annual event that raises money for childhood diabetes - ms. houston was escorted by the ultra classy mr. clive davis who has been working with whitney since she was sixteen and now is leading her hopefully triumphant comeback! sometimes i have to ask myself 'did she really leave bobby?' and the answer is yes! i'm so thrilled that she appears to be back on track - y'all know she is one of my favorite people ever...so i've got all fingers crossed that we will soon see whitney back on top where she belongs! many special thanks to my pal kevon who helped me gather the images below! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
she's been through emotional trauma, and everybody's rooting for her. we're going to make a killer album. - clive davis
bobby brown speaks! he toldpeople magazine i'm really saddened by the whole situation - well he must be the only one! i'm still thrilled ms. whitney houston is finally ditching his ass and attempting to mount a comeback - she has gotta be fierce & right on the money - she has only one chance to do it right! below is a rockin' video from back in 2000 of whitney feelin' simply fine - i'd be putting my hands in the air too - woo hoo! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!

UPDATE 8:37PM
hey kids - i just got back from the beach near san diego - the water was so warm and i totally got my relax on which i so needed and yes...i did think of whitney today! plus i just had a ms. houston coincidence...i headed over to ralphs on sunset to pick up some groceries...the song playing as i walked in the door was whitney's i'm your baby tonight! i was like oh my gosh...even ralphs loves whitney today! even though i was a little tired from all the sun & surf - the tune perked me up giving my shopping an extra dollop of sass! i just wanted to run up to everyone and tell them about 'we love you whitney day' just to see the reaction...people would be like what...? i should have asked the manager to make a store-wide announcment - 'attention shoppers - today is...' of course i didn't harass anyone but i always enjoy thinking of crazy 'what if' scenarios!
many special thanks to fellow bloggers over at young, black & fabulous and juicy news who also got in on the whitney love today...and this just in juicy news posted about a report that whitney is in nashville hanging out with buddy cece winans and is still going to church - one step at a time girl you can do it - we are all pulling for you! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
----------
it's not only the first day of july but it is also national we love you whitney day - so whatever you do today please make sure to send out some good thoughts & vibes to our dear troubled diva...we do love you whitney - now get your act together girl! popbytes over & out...xxoo!
hey everybody - gosh i'm so stoked it's friday night! i wanted to post this bit of whitney news during the week but i just didn't have time - so here goes! thanks to the always fab ms. natasha (hey girl!) over at young, black & fabulous it seems whitney houston was spotted recently at a west LA church and someone took some video of ms. houston in attendance - looks like her daughter bobbi christina is next to her in a black dress however i don't see hubby bobby brown! as britney spears vows her love for kfed...wouldn't it be a great unexpected pop treat to see whitney dump mr. brown's ass...feels like a longshot but there is always hope! (and love as per brit)
i don't know about that hat & pink suit of hers but at least her being in church seems like a small step in the right direction...check out some of the pics below and also someone (not sure who) is organizing a grassroots campaign on july 1st for a national 'we love you whitney' day - which is a great idea and i already own the domain name weloveyouwhitney.com so mark your calendars and check back as the day approaches! and if any other bloggers maybe want to do a whitney post on that day - we could get some synergy going! natasha provides some more details below - popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
July 1st is the national 'We Love You Whitney' Day. Apparently a grassroot campaign has been in place to Save Whitney by letting her know how much we love her. Gather round, grab a lighter...or not...and support ya girl at a rally near you on the first.
ah it's friday night! so what is popbytes up to at the moment...worrying about whitney houston AGAIN! this week the national enquirer is featuring a story that claims whitney has a brain tumor - yikes! her reps quickly denied the whole thing and are talking about the possibility of a lawsuit (funny how they didn't deny those cracked den photos...) - my pal tabloid whore covered the tumor rumor (that rhymes!) earlier this week...who knows what is really up with our gal whitney?
certainly not oprah winfrey! tonight ms. houston's name popped up again when ms. winfrey was interviewed (either on extra or access hollywood...those shows start to blend together for me) for her upcoming (much hawked) legends ball 2006 special airing on ABC this coming monday night - they asked O if whitney had been invited and she said yes...she invited her last year and this year but by the look on her face & overall vibe - she hadn't received an RSVP for either ball...then they said something about oprah knowing she is ok and oprah was quick to deny that she had any idea how whitney really was!
alas there was someone around claiming that whitney was going to be ok...aunty dionne warwick who thanked the reporter for asking...oh when will this trainwreck finally come to a halt? for now the same old tune of 'houston we have a problem' keeps itself in the replay mode - my biggest hope is that whitney will attend oprah's 2007 legends ball...a boy can dream can't he? she has a whole year of recovery to get ready! oh whitney we still love you no matter what - girl try to be strong & get better! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
oh my goodness - what a wild day it was! i still can't believe tomkittensuri has actually arrived - it all feels so fucking surreal! i can't wait to see pics of the baby - we need to check her eyes! my head was spinning in about a million different pop directions today and one of those pop tangents included the news that whitney houston is back in rehab (there was even a plot to kidnap her into rehab! my dear dear partner-in-crime ms. tabloid whore has the scoop on that) let's hope this time around rehab sticks! no more cracked girl - it's so over - put the pipe down!
the story first came by way of the national enquirer - i do love what bobby's sister tina brown (apparently the person who sold her out with those cracked den pictures) - i hope this time it works. she can still come back and be the star she was, the singer the world adored. i pray to god she'll get herself clean for good.
yeah so selling her out might have been a complete bitch move but if it helps whitney get the help she so needs - i would have sold her down the river too! i am dying to see when the next public appearance, photo or statement involving ms. houston happens - hopefully between tina brown selling that shameful story and popbytes sending out good karmic blog vibes (still not sure what i will do with weloveyouwhitney.com) will really help whitney - i so can't wait to see how this plays out - in the meantime let's please just keep whitney in our minds - i know some people don't really care but again just think about losing her! i won't be the same without whitney - and to keep good vibes up & running - check out this awesome junior vasquez remix of her hit i learned from the best - she better be learning something these days! we love you whitney - popbytes over & out...xxoo!
ok since i still am not sure what to do to save our diva? i went ahead and purchased the domain name weloveyouwhitney.com - i am not sure what i am going to do with it - does anyone have any suggestions? a petition? like stop doing cracked (is whacked) kinda thing? i still don't know what we can really do except i will be post a lot on whitney - we must save her! - seriously it's such a shame! please leave any suggestions for what we can do with the weloveyouwhitney.com site! let us all make a difference - just think what it will be like to wake up one day and find out whitney was found dead! not good times at all - i think i would pass out on the spot! popbytes needing to calm his whitney ass down for now - but please do help!!! we cannot lose this one - the pop stakes are so damn high!
ok i know we have all been talking about whitney & her condition for quite sometime - i guess i am just having some issues on all this - i simply can't get my gal WH out of my mind - it's all so sad and i just want whitney houston to be okay...right now - things are just not right - it's so hard to sit back and watch her decline - i so want to do something - it was only seven years ago when whitney seemed to be on top of the world with her my love is your love album - that spawned a couple of amazing hits including the anthem it's not right but it's okay - below is an amazing remix by thunderpuss and will help you all to get your monday groove on - i just want whitney to pull through this but there is a lump in my throat that she won't weather this storm - this all says one thing - once cracked gets a hold of you - whether yr whitney or not - it takes over! what can we do but just try and send her good vibes and wishes - we do so love you whitney - please hear our cries! pull your shit together girl! please! popbytes over & out - i will be back tonight with my latest round of pop whatevers! xxoo!
