Whitney Houston in Talks for “Sparkle” Role

Posted Tuesday September 13, 2011 11:09 AM GMT

Looking to once again revive her career, Whitney Houston is in negotiations to star in a remake of a 1976 musical drama titled “Sparkle.”

According to a report, the “I Will Always Love You” songstress is keen to get back on the silver screen, and this could be her big chance.

“Sparkle” already has stars like Jordin Sparks and Mike Epps on the roster, as well as “Jumping the Broom” director Salim Akil.

“Sparkle” is inspired by the true story of The Supremes, with Sparks playing Sparkle, Epps taking the role of a stand-up comedian, and possibly Houston as Sparkle’s mother Effie.

Whitney Port: Fashion’s Night Out Flirt

Posted Friday September 9, 2011 9:56 AM GMT

Stepping out for an enjoyable evening , Whitney Port was spotted at the Giuseppe Zanotti Boutique in New York City last night (September 8).

Joined by Sam Plouchart, the “City” chick hammed it up for the shutterbugs as part of the Fashion’s Night Out festivities.

As for her Whitney Eve Fall 2011 collection, Whitney blogged, “I along with the entire team at Whitney Eve really poured our hearts and souls into this collection and I am so proud of the final results.”

“The prints and colors were inspired by my trip to Africa last October and the collection offers a variety of pieces—long skirts, cute funky t-shirts, rompers and of course beautiful blazers, amongst many more items. The line is hitting boutique racks now so keep an eye out!”

Peep Whitney Port’s African-Inspired Whitney Eve Fall 2011 Lookbook

Whitney Port has just released images from the latest Whitney Eve lookbook on Celebuzz. The former reality-TV-star cum fashion designer–or her favorite personal assistant–took to the blog herself to announce the collection. Quoth she: “Hi tootsies, I am beyond thrilled to finally be able to present to you the Fall 2011 LookBook!!!”

The collection features a lot of colorful graphic prints, which Whitney says were “inspired by [her] trip to Africa last October,” although no doubt the influence of buzzy up-and-coming label Suno, whose collections are often inspired by traditional African textiles, can be seen. However, Whitney definitely puts her own spin on the trend, and the result is a colorful collection that’s more California surfer girl than African anything.

One thing we especially like about the collection is that it features a lot of clothes we could actually see Whitney wearing–indeed, the young starlet has been snapped in a couple of the pieces, from an orange patterned blazer to graphic short shorts.

See the full lookbook below.
