Pop icon Whitney Houston sat down with Access Hollywood in an exclusive interview on the set of her latest movie ‘Sparkle’ (also featuring Jordin Sparks).  The first time the Grammy-winning diva has made waves on the silver screen in over a decade, she dished on everything from late R&B starlet Aaliyah‘s involvement in the film to her co-stars in this two part interview (airing Monday and Tuesday).

However, fans were particularly happy when reports from earlier this year suggested  that ‘Getting To Happy:  Waiting To Exhale 2‘ would be in the works featuring prequel co-stars Angela Bassett, Lorretta Devine, and Lela Rochon.

Mum on the topic until now, find out what Whitney had to say about the movie and if she’ll be involved.  This and more after the jump:

Pop imposter Rihanna unveils the latest set of promo shots from her forthcoming ‘Talk That Talk’ album.  The album, which hits stores next Monday (November 21st), has suffered somewhat of a setback due to a leak that has made its rounds on the net.  Needless to say, even if that ever-so elusive #1 album is no longer within grasp, her ever-so faithful Navy will certainly keep the lifted singles afloat (with two currently in the Top 20 and ‘You Da One’ sure to follow).

Are you ready to ‘Talk That Talk’?  More from the ‘Man Down’ mannequin smoking away what little voice she has below:

Dance commander Kelly Rowland dropped by Alan Carr last night with fellow X Factor UK judges Tulisa Contostavlos and Gary Barlow.  Covering quite a number of interesting topics, the ‘Down For Whatever’ diva went down a list of her latest happenings including making a few hints at her love life (which she rarely does).  Needless to say, her responses had the audience buzzing.
