Still alive: CHRIS BROWN.
   Another day, another Twitter death hoax. This time it was rapper Chris Brown, who is very much alive and spending quality time on the social network, flaming people who sent tweets about his performance at Sunday's Grammys, since he attacked his former girlfriend, RIHANNA, three years ago at the Awards.


   One of his tweets, later deleted, reportedly was pulled down by the blog Mashable, and read: "Strange how we pick and choose who to hate! Let me ask u this. Our society is full of rappers (which I listen to) who have sold drugs (poisoning). But yet we glorify them and imitate everything they do. Then right before the worlds eyes a man shows how he can make a Big mistake and learn from it, but still has to deal with day to day hatred! You guys love to hate!!! But guess what???" HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now! That's the ultimate (Eff OFF)!

Waiting to Exhale: A "devastated" Whitney Houston fan recently burned her house to the ground during a candlelight vigil for the star. Anne Lomax had been playing Whitney's hits and saying prayers when her tribute candle ignited some curtains. The blaze quickly spread to the TV and her appliances. Lomax and her three dogs escaped as the Greater Manchester, England fire department extinguished the blaze. Lomax says her house is destroyed. "I was a big fan and I was just devastated when she died so I thought I'd light a candle. "I thought I had blown it out when I went up to bed but the next thing I knew the smoke alarms were going off. "I dread to think what would have happened if I didn't have smoke alarms. I could have died.

 

Premonition: TMZ claims Whitney Houston had a premonition she was going to die. A source says in the days before she passed she told friends she "really wanted to see Jesus" and claimed she had a feeling the end was near for her. When discussing a bible passage involving John the Baptist and Jesus, Whitney said, "You know, he's so cool ... I really want to see that Jesus."

Clive Davis plans to attend Whitney's funeral. Bobby Brown will also attend.

 

Guilt Trip: Hollywoodlife.com claims Whitney’s teenage daughter, Bobbi Kristina, is feeling guilty about her mother's death. A source says, “She’s now wondering what she could have done to help. She’s feeling guilty, like if she had been with her mom in the hotel room, this wouldn’t have happened. She’s pretty much inconsolable.”

Whitney's mom, Cissy, doesn't want Bobby Brown consoling Bobbi Kristina. Another source tells Hollywoodlife.com, "Cissy doesn’t think Bobby is a good influence. When Bobby arrived in Los Angeles, he went straight to Cedars-Sinai to see Bobbi Kristina but Whitney’s family didn’t let him see her because she was sleeping. Bobby has spoken to his daughter but still has not seen her.”

Whitney will be buried next to her father.

NBC says Aretha Franklin will perform at the funeral. It will be streamed live. 1 million Whitney Houston CDs have been sold since her death.
