Clive Davis is BiSexual… Did y’all know?
Clive Davis used his autobiography, “The Soundtrack of My Life,” to let the world in on a little secret. At 80 years old Clive comes clean about his bisexuality in the book. Married twice, and many times a father, he has, it seems, been exclusively involved with men for the last past 20 years. That’s one of the rare personal glimpses into Clive’s life. He’s more so credited as being the man who discovered Whitney Houston and he’s the current chief creative officer of Sony Music Entertainment.
Clive says he slept with both men and women during his sexual renaissance period. But he spent the past 20 years in stable relationships with just two men: a doctor for 13 years, and for seven years with another man he won’t name (probably a celebrity).
“He tells me bisexuality is ‘maligned and misunderstood’ but that it is his truth and he decided it was time for him to say so publicly,” writes ABC News anchor Cynthia McFadden, who interviewed Davis for “Nightline”.
A Year After Whitney Houston’s Death:
February 11, 2013, marks the one-year anniversary of the tragic death of singer Whitney Houston, which left both her fans and family devastated. Whitney Houston’s death at the age of 48 was shocking, but when the toxicology reports came back on March 29, the results were not. It was determined that the “I Will Always Love You” singer, who struggled for years with substance abuse, had traces of cocaine, marijuana, and several prescription medications in her system at the time of her death. Her drowning was credited to the effects of chronic cocaine use and heart disease….
A year later and is anyone else still shocked that Whitney Houston is gone?
Cissy Houston Out Promoting Her New Book
Just two weeks shy of the anniversary death of her daughter Whitney Houston, Cissy Houston is making her rounds promoting her new memoir, “Remembering Whitney”.
The elderly mother of the late singer makes no qualms about how she thought Bobby Brown wasn’t good enough for her daughter.
“I tried to tell Nippy [Cissy’s nickname for Whitney] that I didn’t think Bobby was good for her.”
Cissy not only disses about her feelings regarding Bobby, but she chimes in on Bobbi Kristina as well. Bobbi Kristina is said to be a bit upset about how her grandmother writes of her worries that Whitney’s only child could possibly be lured into the trap of addiction. It’s well-known that Cissy Houston has been unhappy with stories about Bobbi Kristina’s hard partying — and allegations of drinking and drug use.
And although Cissy wrote the book as a loving reminder of what a great talent Whitney was, she also don’t want the way she died to define how she is remembered. Unfortunately “it will” because Whitney gained the world, only to lose her soul to drug abuse.
Cissy’s interview with Oprah airs tonight on OWN. Check your local listing for detailed show time.
Betty & Coretta Premieres Feb. 2 on Lifetime
With Black History month approaching, Lifetime television have rolled out their movie premiers for the month. Angela Bassett will star as Martin Luther King Jr.’s widow Coretta Scott King, who expanded his message of nonviolence and equality to a global audience until her death in 2006, in a Lifetime movie which will premiere on February 2nd.
To kick off black history month, Bassett stars as Mrs. King opposite singer Mary J. Blige as Dr. Betty Shabazz in the Lifetime original movie Betty and Coretta.
The film tells the converging stories of two very different young women united by a commitment to social justice and their struggle to raise their children alone while forging legacies from those of their slain spouses. It’s an angle that the mom of two (with actor husband Courtney B. Vance) particularly appreciates.
Both women were equally significant in their own right.
Ruby Dee narrates the film, as the film opens up with her semi-fictional character commenting on President Obama’s 2011 dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Betty and Coretta premieres Feb. 2 at 8/7 CT on Lifetime.
