NEW YORK - Oprah Winfrey has landed an interview with Whitney Houston's daughter and other family members for a TV special that will air on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

"Oprah's Next Chapter" will feature an interview with 18-year-old Bobbi Kristina, Houston's only child, as well as Patricia Houston, her sister-in-law and manager, as well as the singer's brother Gary. It is scheduled to air next Sunday.

The superstar was found dead in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Feb. 11. An exact cause of death has yet to be determined.

Winfrey was one of the guests invited to Houston's funeral in Newark, N.J., last month.

Houston was 48 years old. Her daughter turns 19 Sunday.

A lot of people picking on Whitney Houston.
She was an exceptional singer and performer. You can't couldn't find anyone who could sing and perform like her.
So she was a "druggie". I hate this term. A person has a drug habit. A lot of great people, brilliant people, geniuses have had problems with drugs. This does not mean their talent should be ignored when they've died and their names dragged through the mud.
Your comments are a disgrace to your own selves.

Look, thousands of women drink/drug themselves to death before they reach 50 like this one.

The only dif is this one could sing.

I'll give praise to those who do not kill themselves with their vices, thank you.

Put down your crack and pick up the Bible or any book for human beings.

You remind me of the fools running around after Elizabeth Edwards died aggrandizing her.

She was as much scum as is John.

Go ahead and aggrandize an alky/addict because she could sing if you wish........
