Tuesday Tales

The body of singer Whitney Houston has been released to her family and has been transported  to New Jersey and the family has begun making funeral arrangements. The cause of death won't be determined until after toxicology tests results return in a few weeks. In the meantime, the singer's mother, Cissy Houston, and cousin Dionne Warwick, are reportedly at odds with the rest of the family, as some would like to have her buried in Atlanta, while others would like to have her buried in her birthplace, Newark NJ. No details regarding arrangements have been revealed as yet. Meanwhile, ex-husband Bobby Brown is in Los Angeles comforting daughter Bobbi Kristina. The 18-year-old was taken to the hospital twice and treated for stress. The film Houston finished, a remake of the 1976 classic "Sparkle" will be released as planned. Tonight's episode of "Glee" will be dedicated to Houston's memory. A performance of her hit "I Will Always Love You" had been planned before the tragic news of her death was revealed.   It seems while some may have forgiven Chris Brown for the incident involving he and ex-girlfriend Rihanna, others haven't. Several tweets went out on the night of the Grammy awards regarding Brown and the incident, but so far, Brown hasn't commented. The Catholic League is none too pleased with rapper Nicki Minaj's performance. The organization posted a letter on it's site blaming the Recording Academy for the performance saying it wouldn't have allowed Judaism or Islam to be disrespected. Singer Jennifer Hudson stated in an interview that being asked to pay tribute to Whitney Houston was the best moment of her life. The show's ratings broke a record with over 60 million viewers tuning in . No doubt, many tuned in to see the tribute to Houston. Sean  "Diddy" Combs is recovering after being treated and released from the hospital for a migraine suffered during an after Grammy party thrown at the Playboy mansion. He took to Twitter to thank fans for their concern. One more Grammy note. Rumor has it that Drake and Common got into a physical confrontation backstage at the Grammy awards. The rumor hasn't been confirmed or denied so far. On DVD: "The Rum Diary", "Take Shelter", "Tiny Furniture" and "The Son Of No One". On the tube: "Glee" on Fox, "NCIS" on CBS, "Last Man Standing" on ABC and "The Biggest Loser" on NBC. Happy Tuesday!
