A few more details have been released regarding Whitney Houston’s funeral on Saturday, and one is especially troubling for Bobby Brown. First, though, we can confirm that gospel singer Marvin Winans – who officiated the 1992 wedding of Houston and Brown – will eulogize the legend at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, while New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says government building flags will fly at half-staff that day. But will Brown even be in attendance at the memorial? Insiders tell TMZ that certain members of Whitney’s family do not want her ex-husband there, presumably due to his negative influence on Houston when they were married and the belief that he introduced her to a world of narcotics. Bobby, of course, wants to pay his respects to Whitney and also wants to be there for daughter Bobbi Kristina , who is struggling mightily – she’s been hospitalized twice for anxiety – with her mother’s passing.

In an effort to educate students about the dangers and effects of bullying, the Hot 107.9 family along with local celebrities, community leaders and school officials host the Bullying Is Not Hot School Tour at various schools around Georgia. These events highlight the recent trend of bullying as well as what each school can do, or is doing, to curb this negative movement at their respective institutions. With this “open forum” style event, each participant shares their individual stories and/or expertise and students are encouraged to share their thoughts and experiences in a safe and supportive environment. This event is a collective effort by the Hot 107.9 and the Atlanta community to encourage students to be less indifferent and more empathetic towards their peers. The Bullying Is Not Hot School T our will show the effects that bullying has had on students, their peers, the school and the community. We hope that at the conclusion of each event students leave educated, entertained and most importantly empowered to spread the word that Bullying Is Not Hot in their school or in their community!
Peggy Tanous, who has been open about her battle with postpartum depression and thoughts of suicide, is no longer a Real Housewife of Orange County. In a Facebook posting today, the reality star resigned from the Bravo franchise. “After months of negotiation and soul searching, I have declined their offer to return to the show,” Peggy writes. “I just felt in my heart that being around the negative energy of certain cast members, being forced to have ‘dramatic’ confrontations and the time it would take me away from my family was just not a healthy path for me.” That’s about as honest an answer as Tanous could provide, especially the part about how Bravo scripts “dramatic” confrontations. In other franchise news, the network swears no cast member is leaving The Real Housewives of New Jersey . But you’ll forgive us if we don’t exactly believe anything at all about these supposedly Real programs. [Photo: WENN.com]
Marriage is a commitment, and not only to your spouse. In addition to marrying your one true love, you’re also marrying their family and their friends. And, while a man’s relationship with his mother-in-law and/or father-in-law can vary from BFFs to bitter enemies, you have to get along with them. They’re family! The trickier situation is often the spouse’s friends, or, as I like to call them, “friend-in-laws.” Now, if you and your significant other share all the same friends, and everyone can sit together and sing “Kum Ba Ya” without killing each other (or the use of alcohol), then great. However, more often than not there is that one friend that is just a worthless waste of human existence (at least in your eyes) that your wife or husband hearts. Whether she’s the cackling sistah girl who didn’t think you were worth shit to begin with or that “big brother” guy pal YOU know always wanted to be more than that, these are people you will have to deal with, right? I mean, they have been friends forever. They have passed out on your couch. They were in your wedding. And, if you’ve married this woman or man, you on some level have accepted them as “friends”…right? If you’re not sure, here are 5 types of friend-in-laws and my advice about how to best handle them: The know-it-all sistahgirl . Hook her up with one of your “good guy” friends (see below). Just make sure that he doesn’t screw her over. It will be more trouble than it’s worth. The space cadet . The chick who just seems late…to life. Have patience. She is usually also really hot, so it makes her a little more tolerable. If you’re not patient (and she is cute), kill her with kindness. Your wife will likely get really jealous and she will disappear. The snob . Ignore her. Snobs hate that shit. The wet blanket . She is sometimes No. 1 as well, but more often than not she is afraid…to do anything. The good guy . That male best friend that used to listen to all her problems. There’s no easy way around this one. You just have to grin and bear it. Sorry. And, if all else fails, just call in your dumbass friends that she hates. Yes, believe it or not, you have at least one… Yup, that one. Could A Man’s Single Friend Have A Negative Effect On A Committed Relationship? 5 Ways To Keep Your Man From Cheating
Royce Reed’s “boyfriend” may not be the catch she claimed him to be on “Basketball Wives” this season. And Jennifer Williams is happy to tell us all about his lowlife ways. Jen wrote a blog for HollywoodLife about Monday night’s reunion episode and cleared up details about the infamous drink-throwing incident, her dating life, and Meeka & Royce’s “irrelevancy.” On Royce: Let me just get this topic out the way! Royce is irrelevant! I refuse to waste another ounce of breath on her. She just doesn’t get it! Royce is always starting some drama and I am at a point in my life where I am trying to get rid of drama and any negative influences. It boils down to myself, Shaunie and Evelyn not wanting to film with her because she is so full of drama. Other than her “movie role” with Eric, she doesn’t have much of a story line. I am certain she doesn’t want to talk about her new boyfriend that just had a baby with another woman while we were filming and we all know Dwight Howard has a gag order on her! Ok moving on… On Meeka: As far as Meeka goes she just needs to shut the hell up! Her mouth is what got her in trouble in the first place. She claims she doesn’t want to be in “the circle” but isn’t that the very reason she came on the show? She should start thinking and choose her words more carefully so she can stop putting her foot in her mouth! On Eric’s drink-throwing incident: The incident with Eric is very unfortunate, however it was just a firm confirmation that I am moving in the right direction. Everyone wants to say, “Well I would have done this or what took you so long?” No one can really say what he or she is going to do and/or react until they are in your shoes. I feel Eric ended our relationship with a coward move. Yes, yes I did throw a drink first. I was frustrated our discussion didn’t resolve anything about our impending divorce but I never hit him with the drink nor did I intend to hit him with the drink. The manner and forcefulness in which he threw that drink at me, not to mention hit my chin surprised the hell out of me! Again, another negative aspect and chapter of my life I am ready to close. I could have retaliated and threw a chair or flipped a table but I prefer to bow out gracefully. On dating: Closing one chapter and opening up another one, DATING!!!! I am having fun dating. Will and I had fun at my divorce/independence party but that is where it started and ended. He is a friend, nothing more. I don’t have a boyfriend at the moment. My main priority is business and myself! I am focusing most of my attention on my new lip gloss line, Lucid Cosmetics available at www.lucidcosmetics.com. But a girl deserves to play a little bit and go on a few dates.

Hoes Hating cause I through HOE-LY Water on a Woman who had a Demon in her. I tried 2 Cast it out!” I hope Eric realizes how much cornier he has become!
