Whitney Houston’s Comeback On GMA

Written by: Julie on 2 September 2009 | 2 Comments |

After nearly a decade of not performing, Whitney Houston surfaced for a concert in Central Park, taped for Good Morning America. She performed four songs off her latest album, “I Look To You.”

After performing her opening number, “Million Dollar Bill,” which was written for her by Alicia Keyes, Whitney had this to say to her fans:

“I love you all saying hello to me. I never left, I never left.”

WhenDiane Sawyer asked Whitney what brought her back to entertaining, she said,

“My faith, the love and support of my fans, which I do have. That’s basically what it is.”

During the concert, Whitney serenaded her mother, singer Cissy Houston, with “I Look To You.” She also pulled her sixteen-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina up on stage to sing “My Love Is Your Love.”

At the end of the concertWhitney apologized to her fans, saying:

“I’m so sorry. I did Oprah. I’ve been talking for so long. … I talked so much, my voice. I shouldn’t be talking. I should be singing.”

Congrats to Whitney Houston on her comeback!

With a voice like that, why was she away for so long? Why lose all that time?

I’m guessing it’s because when she was married to Bobby Brown, he really messed up her life. I know she had problems with drugs for awhile because of him.

Life & Beauty Weekly: Expert Q+A

Q: "My co-worker frequently buys me coffee but won’t let me treat her. Should I insist on repaying her? "

A: "This sort of kindness is rare, so it’s natural you’d want to reciprocate. But if you have offered to repay (or treat) her and she resists, there’s no need to insist on giving her money.

Also try not to feel bad that she always pays. Coffee isn’t a big expense, and it sounds like she enjoys treating you. She may do it because she appreciates your friendship or support at work. Or perhaps she likes having an excuse to get out of the office and doesn’t mind shelling out a few extra dollars for you. Regardless, just thank her each time she pays. Then, every once in a while, surprise her with a tin of cookies or muffins. Or once a month or so, tell her you are taking her out for lunch. "

Men’s Life Today: Expert Q+A

Q: "What’s the deal with ingrown hairs? Why do I get them, and more importantly, how do I get rid of them?"

A: "There’s no easy answer as to why you get them. Ingrown hairs are more noticeable in men with really thick hair -- as ingrown hairs are more prevalent in people with thick hair -- or dark hair with light skin. However, there are a couple of key things you can do to heal them and prevent future outbreaks.

First of all, it helps to understand the evolution of an ingrown hair: After hair removal, as the hair starts growing back, the sharp tip of the hair curls back in on itself and digs into the skin, leading to inflammation and irritation. If you do get one, remember this mantra: Put down the tweezers. Plucking ingrown hairs invariably fails and causes additional irritation. Instead, try applying an over-the-counter cortisone cream to help relieve inflammation, then head to a laser dermatologist for laser hair removal (no, not removal of all your hair -- just the problem ones). Realistically, laser’s the only long-term solution for ingrown hairs.

Electrolysis isn’t practical because of the number and thickness of hairs involved. And as for waxing, well, remember the 40-year-old Virgin? Enough said."
