Lifetime's ‘Whitney’ Trailer Delivers

[Little Star]

A new trailer for “Whitney” has been released and, from the looks of things, viewers are in for a salacious treat when the film premieres Jan. 17. There's the meteoric rise to fame. The tumultuous personal life. Randy bedroom romps. Powdery substances. Yelling and fighting. Tears. In short, everything that you'd expect and hope for.

“Whitney,” which was directed by Angela Bassett and stars Yaya DaCosta (“Lee Daniels‘ The Butler”) as the ill-fated singer, tells the tale chronicles the headline-making relationship between Houston and singer and songwriter Bobby Brown from the time they first met at the very height of their celebrity to their courtship and tumultuous marriage.

1. I don't think I can watch that when it comes on....

too painful,, still... Seeing celebrities who brought enjoyment to me throughout the years self-destruct over time (or be brought down for past behavior decades later) is just so sad... And seeing the kids of these lost celebs (like Whitney's daughter, Michael Jackson's children) seemingly repeat the pattern or at least be at risk of doing so, just adds to it.

Still, with Bassett directing, I suspect it will be worthwhile for those ready to view...

2. She was the greatest female vocalist of our time, imho....

Pretty talented & absolutely beautiful actress too!

I can't listen to her singing without getting chills. Just loved her!!! She was gone way too soon.
