The Houstons "On Our Own" Season 1 Episode 1

Last night (October 24, 2012 ) the first episode of THE HOUSTON's reality television show ( ON OUR OWN) premiered on lifetime. The show follows the Houston family after Whitney Houston's death. The cast includes

Bobbi Kristina (Whitney Houston's daughter)

 Cissy Houston (Whitney Houston's mother)

Gary Houston (Whitney Houston's brother)

Pat Houston (Whitney Houston's sister-in-law/manager)

Rayah Houston (Whitney Houston's niece/Pat and Gary's daughter)

Nick Gordon (Whitney Houston's extended son/Godson)

The first episode of the new show was filmed in May 2012 and was focused around Mother's Day weekend. Krissi and Nick announced to the family that they were engaged and the news did not sit well with Gary and Pat.  The family flew to Newark, to spend time with Grandma Cissy for Mother's Day. The plan was to go to church with grandma, brunch, and then visit Whitney's grave site. Bobbi Kristina chose not to attend the church service that morning, because she felt as if she was not ready to go back in the church only 3 months after her mother's funeral. She stated, "I would have flash backs of her casket being at the front of the church." I definitely can understand why Bobbi Kristina does not want to go back to New Hope Baptist Church just yet. Alot of tears were shed in that church on February 18.2012, and there is still much healing left for her to get through. This show seems as if it will be filled with love and drama, I look forward to the next 13 episodes.

You can check out the first episode here on  LIFETIME's website. Pictures of the cast can be found below

Brandy's 6th album TwoEleven

BRANDY IS BACK

 Today is an exciting day for the music industry, as most Tuesdays are, due to the fact that it is the day that new albums are released. October 16, 2012 marks the release of 33 year old Brandy Rayana  Norwood's 6th album entitled (TWO-ELEVEN) . The title of this album hits close to home for this Mississippi native and is very personal. 

Two Eleven is significant to Brandy because it is her birthday and the day that her mentor the late Whitney Houston passed away. Brandy is dedicating her album to THE VOICE herself Whitney Houston. The singles that have already been released off of TWO ELEVEN are doing well, especially her song PUT IT DOWN feat, the popular Chris Brown. It is one of my favorite songs, I just hate that Chris Brown is in it. (moving on from him), check out their video below

Brandy literally has me jamming every time I hear (Imma put it down, you gone fall in love) 
The album has a total of 17 songs on it, with her singles being (It All Belong To Me, Put It Down, and her latest song Wildest Dreams) 

She is such a talented music artist and such an inspiration to women all over. I will definitely be running (not literally) to the store on my lunch break to get my new TWO ELEVEN album. Thank you for sharing your gift with us Brandy. 

I have my COPY now go get yours

Rihanna's Cover for her 7th album UNAPOLOGETIC

Rihanna seems to be the music artist that keeps on giving. This young songstress has yet to take a break since she has hit the music industry 7 years ago with her hit "Pon De Replay". This morning Rihanna released the cover of her 7th album entitled UNAPOLOGETIC. 

UNAPOLOGETIC

Unapologetic will be Rihanna's 7th album in 7 years and is set to hit stores November 19, 2012. On the cover Rihanna is rocking her newly cut short black hair, with a dark (maroon/brown) lip. She is displayed topless with words such as Victory, #Navy, Diamonds, Faith, ROC, Chalice, Fearless, Happy, Censore, Love, Side Effects, #R7, and Unapologetic written upon her body. Her most recent tattoo is also on display, this tattoo is a picture of Goddess Isis. Goddess Isis stands for Complete Woman and is a model for future generations. Rihanna got this tattoo in honor of her grandma Dolly who passed away this summer.

Unapologetic looks to be another winner for Rihanna. She currently has released one single off this album, which is entitled DIAMONDS.
