Good Advice: The night before she died, Whitney Houston warned her daughter, Bobbi Kristina, to stop partying so hard. A source tells the National Enquirer, “Whitney’s bodyguard would try to grab a drink out of her hand, and she’d spin around and laugh, ‘Just one more,’ Bobbi Kristina told her to slow down, and even took Whitney’s bodyguard aside and said, ‘Keep an eye on my mom.’ About an hour later, Whitney was out on her balcony screaming, ‘I’m tired of this s**t, I’m tired of this s**t! Hotel security had been called to her room twice and she was ranting and raving about being harassed.”
Another source tells US Weekly, "Whitney's passing is sending Bobbi off the deep end. Bobbi's problems are out of control."
It's My Prerogative: Hollywoodlife.com claims Whitney Houston's mom, Cissy, doesn't want Bobby Brown helping Bobbi Kristina. A source says, "Cissy wants him to stay as far away as possible because she thinks he is a negative influence. Bobby Brown talks a lot about how he wants to help his daughter but he never follows it up with action. Bobby is all about Bobby and if he really cared about his daughter, he would have stayed at the funeral. He is just trying to come across like this concerned father, but he isn’t."

A New York engineer, named Paul Sammut, recently raised $75,000 in just six days to create what he describes as the world's most "annoying" alarm clock. "In high school, I had a really good alarm clock, and it was my mom. She wouldn't stop annoying me until I got out of bed. I tried to think of something similar to that. You can't turn it off, you can't reset. It's going to go off. It's friendly. You just need to do what it says."
The dating site The Big and the Beautiful has offered Adele $1.6 million to be their spokesperson.

Britney Spears' upcoming wedding is stressing her out. A source tells NOW magazine, "Brit's been bombarded with instructions on where to have her wedding. Her family's pushing to have the ceremony in Louisiana, but Jason's family wants it back East. Britney wanted it in Hawaii or at Elvis's Graceland estate, but it looks like what she wants has to go on the back burner. She's flipping out."
Jennifer Aniston says doing a Friends movie doesn't make sense. "I can't imagine how you would do it, unless you did it years from now. I can't imagine what that would be. It's not normal. Friends is in your living room; Friends is not in a movie theater. It doesn't make sense to me. I think it would be going against its authentic self. I loved what I did for 10 years; it was pure joy and nothing but fun, and it'd be hard to top it. 'll never ever say never."
George Clooney's girlfriend, Stacy Keibler, has already started getting ready for The Oscars. A source tells UGO News, "In many ways Stacy could be an even bigger winner than George on Sunday - even if he does win an Oscar. Stacy has been one of the stars of awards season so far for doing nothing other than hang on George's arm. She is pulling out all the stops for Sunday. She's been on an intensive diet and fitness regime and will spend almost every waking hour having fittings and beauty procedures up until Sunday."

Adam Levine recently defended Christina Aguilera's weight gain saying, “Her clothes are tight, she likes to wear tight clothes! She clearly likes to talk about being comfortable with being a woman, and snapping her fingers and doing the whole (diva) thing.”
X Factor star Rachel Crow is getting her own show on Nickelodeon. She says, “We are in the early stages now. We haven’t figured out exactly what we will do with the show yet. I want it to be definitely very ‘Rachel.’ Something that shows who I am and who I want to be.”
Justin Bieber recently gave Selena Gomez a ring that features an intertwined "J and "F". A source says it means "Justin" and "Forever". “It was kind of a pre-engagement ring, really. They’re too young to get married, but they are just head over heels in love with each other and they want to spend the rest of their lives together. It symbolizes their intention to be together for a long time. They are 100 percent monogamous. Justin has girls throwing themselves at him all the time, but they are essentially invisible to him, Her never misses an opportunity to tell Selena how beautiful she is.”
