In the world of celebrity news, there’s no shortage of hits and misses. This week, Jennifer Lawrence is flawless after snagging an Oscar, One Directioner Harry Styles gets hit with a shoe and diva Mariah Carey gives us an eyeful.
HIT: Jennifer lawrence jokes around with the press.
We were all on the edge of our seats when the gorgeous Jennifer Lawrence had a little tumble on her way to accept her Oscar for best Actress for her role in Silver Linings Playbook. But instead of breaking down and having a total biotch-fit, the actress commented on her slip. When she was later asked what was going through her head when she tripped, the actress said, “a bad word that I can’t say that starts with ‘F.’” Well Jennifer, you made that fall look so good and who could blame you? That dress you were wearing was pretty redonkulous.
MISS: Harry Styles gets hit with a shoe.
On Tuesday our favourite Brits performed in Glasgow, Scotland when Styles got hit in the crotch with a flying shoe. Ouch! Fans have expressed their condolences in the twitterverse by hashtgging, #Pray4HarryBalls. We’ll be sure to keep them in our prayers. Hmm… Maybe someone should check if T-Swift has any missing shoes in her closest. LOL.
HIT: FLOTUS presents Best Picture
While the Oscars try their very best at keeping us entertained and guessing, nothing was more unexpected and surprising than the First Lady of the United States’ Oscar appearance. Via satellite, The FLOTUS helped present Best Picture to Argo. According to Deadline, Michelle’s involvement was so top secret that she wasn’t even included on the production schedule.

For the whole world Whitney Houston was an icon, but for Bobbi Kristina Brown she was just “mom.” The 19-year-old opened up about her mother’s Feb. 11 death to Oprah and the interview aired last night on OWN.
Bobbi said she feels her mom’s presence everyday and that sleeping in the house right after her death was impossible.
“I can hear her voice in spirit talking to me, ‘Keep talking to me. I got you,’” Brown said. “She’s always with me. I can always feel her. I can always feel her with me. She always asked me,’Do you need me?’ And I caught myself, out of nowhere, I didn’t even know I said it, I said, ‘I’ll always need you.’”
Although it’s still difficult to listen to her mom’s music, Bobbi said she hopes to carry on her mother’s work through singing, acting and dancing. “I have to carry on the legacy,” she said. “We’re going to do the singing thing. Some acting, some dancing.” That’s a lot of pressure for a young girl, but Bobbi has been in the spotlight since she was young, even performing on stage at her mother’s concerts.
Although Bobbi was composed throughout the whole interview, I still think it was too soon. The girl just lost her mother and has survived a media storm of accusations about her supposed drug use and relationship with her father.
Do you think it was too soon?
Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown reportedly wants to change her name because of its association with her father. TMZ is reporting that she can’t stand the connection and wants to simply change it to “Kristina Houston.”
Apparently she’s told friends that she has wanted to change it for years, ever since her parents split in 2000, but Houston wouldn’t allow her to do it. After her father made a scene at his ex-wife’s funeral last month over seating arrangements for his huge group, Bobbi decided she’d had enough.
It’s unclear whether she plans to make the change official. For now, it’s being reported that the 19-year-old is in a good state of mind.
Target pulled this Whitney Houston card off the shelves nearly TWO WEEKS after her death. The creepy card cheerily warns against following Houston’s example. We’re not sure why they were carrying it in the first place Bobby Brown, but it took a whole new meaning after her death — don’t date the bad boys or else death will come knocking at your door.
Creepy. And we’re not sure what occasion the card could be used for. Perhaps after a bad breakup? At the early stages of dating a rebellious character? Your guess is as good as ours.
I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to deal with the death of a friend or family member while the whole world is watching and scrutinizing your every move. That’s why I feel for Bobbi Kristina Brown. After making headlines last week for falling asleep in a bathtub in the same hotel where her mother died, she is back in the spotlight for allegedly getting high after her mother’s funeral.
A couple hours after the funeral the family went to eat at a nearby restaurant but couldn’t find Bobbi. Two sources told The Daily Beast that she was found using drugs and that her family didn’t find her until just before the burial on Sunday morning.
Since then, the media has erupted with questions of whether she has a drug problem. Although her family won’t say she has a problem, it was reported well before Whitney’s death that Bobbi was photographed snorting cocaine.
Her spiral downwards is not uncommon with celebrities so it’s true that her behaviour shouldn’t be treated lightly. However, the girl’s mother just died and constantly berating her in the press isn’t going to make the situation any better. I can understand what lengths someone might go to to neutralize such fresh pain. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not condoning drugs in any way, I’m just saying that she has been through a lot and it’s not nice to kick her when she’s already down.
I’d love to hear your thoughts about the situation. What do you think?
Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, has been rushed to Hospital, according to TMZ.
Brown was reportedly seen on a stretcher outside her hotel and taken to Cedars-Sinai hospital.

BOBBY BROWN still fears for his life, after discovering OSAMA BIN LADEN wanted him dead so he could marry WHITNEY HOUSTON.
Although he and Houston are no longer together – the singer is convinced he is still on the Taliban leader’s hitlist.
Speaking on British TV show 24 Hours With Bobby Brown – which aired in Britain last night – the star said, “Osama bin Laden wanted me dead. He was in love with Whitney. He wanted to make her one of his wives.
“I feared for my life. I’m still on my guard. The most wanted man in the world wants you dead.”

Troubled singer BOBBY BROWN has paid back the bosses of a Washington, D.C. radio station that bailed him out of jail last week for not paying child support.
The DON’T BE CRUEL star, 38, was arrested in Massachusetts on February 25 and spent three nights behind bars before radio station chiefs at Hot 99.5 FM posted $19,150 bail.
The radio station paid the money in exchange for the singer’s services as a co-host on THE KANE SHOW for one week.
The station claims the singer broke the agreement after 10 minutes when he hung up during a live on-air phone interview on Friday – and never called back.
Brown got into an argument with the host of the show over whether he would discuss his child support woes and what his actual agreement with the station was.

BOBBY BROWN hung up on a Washington, D.C. radio station on Friday that allegedly paid for him to get out of jail in exchange for him appearing on their morning show.
The DON’T BE CRUEL singer was arrested last Sunday in Massachusetts for failing to appear in court and failure to pay back child support and court fees.
The radio station posted $19,150 to bail the singer out of jail on Wednesday night and expected him to be a guest-host for one week.
Brown did call the morning program THE KANE SHOW, but hung up after 10 minutes after getting into an argument with the host over whether he would discuss his child support woes and his actual agreement with the station.
The conversation started badly when host KANE asked Brown about his repeated troubles with the law for not paying child support.
A furious Brown shot back, “I’m a father and as far as not paying child support, that’s personal!”
After more heated discussion, the two engaged in a lengthy argument over Brown’s alleged agreement to appear on the show and he hung up.
The station says it plans to rescind the hosting offer and will attempt to get their money back.

LATEST: A Washington D.C. radio station funded BOBBY BROWN’s release from jail on Wednesday, in exchange for the singer’s forthcoming appearances on air.
The DON’T BE CRUEL hitmaker, 38, was arrested in Attleboro, Massachusetts on Sunday night for failing to pay two months worth of child support to his ex-girlfriend KIM WARD, mother of his children LaPRINCIA, 17; and BOBBY JR, 14.
On Sunday, Brown was taken to the Norfolk County Correctional Center where he was ordered to remain for 30 days, but was released on Wednesday night after the owed $19,150 was paid.
Originally it was thought Brown’s brother TOMMY had paid the fees, however D.C. station Hot 99.5 FM admitted they had funded the singer’s release, on condition he worked for them for a week.
DJ KANE, who hosts morning broadcast THE KANE SHOW, explains, “In exchange for the money, he agreed to be an employee of our radio station for one week.
“Certain news stories have stated incorrectly that Bobby’s brother fronted his bail. Those stories are false. Hot 99.5 has entered into a binding contract with Bobby Brown.”
An arrest warrant was previously issued for the star in October when he failed to attend a child support court hearing, but he swiftly paid $11,000 fees to avoid arrest.
In June 2004, Brown was sentenced to 90 days jail after failing behind child support payments for three months. However, Brown paid $15,000 and the sentence was suspended.
Brown is currently in the middle of divorcing superstar WHITNEY HOUSTON after 14 years of marriage.

WHITNEY HOUSTON’s estranged husband BOBBY BROWN has been arrested again in Massachusetts for failing to appear at a child support hearing in October.
The MY PREROGATIVE singer was apprehended at Attleboro High School on Sunday night, on a warrant for failing to appear at the hearing.
He was in town to watch his daughter BOBBI KRISTINA at a cheerleading competition.
In October, Brown paid $11,000 in delinquent child support after being threatened with arrest if he stepped back into Massachusetts.
He owed over two months of payments to KIM WARD, the mother of two of his teenage children, LaPRINCIA and BOBBY III.
In June 2004, Brown was sentenced to 90 days in prison for missing three months of child support payments, which was suspended after he immediately paid the $15,000 he owed.

A family judge in Massachusetts has ruled that Bobby Brown is to be arrested should he set foot in the state.
The court order came after the singer didn’t show up for a hearing on Monday. Brown was to face the court over allegedly failing to keep up child support payments, according to the Associated Press.
The 37-year-old has been in the spotlight lately after estranged wife Whitney Houston filed for legal separation earlier this month.
“Whether or not he’s going through a divorce doesn’t negate the fact that he still owes child support relative to his two children that he had prior to his marriage,” said Judge Paula Carey in her ruling.
According to Kim Ward, the mother of two of Brown’s children, he owes her $11,000 U.S. for two months of support payments.
Back in June 2004, Brown was sentenced to 90 days behind bars after failing to pay three months of child support, but the punishment was put off when he put up the cash.
If you thought Britney and Kevin were bad…it’s about to get much worse. The notorious husband-wife duo of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston is the latest celebrity couple to take on the small screen with their very own reality series, “Being Bobby Brown.”
Just in case reading about the pair’s drug busts and domestic abuse didn’t already send you reeling, you can now watch every scandal unfold in Technicolor each week on Bravo.
For six months, cameras trailed Brown and his wife for the show, which premieres this Thursday (10 p.m. ET). As for why the two singers would so readily give up their privacy, Brown told Dateline NBC that it’s because he wants to set the record straight and show the world what he’s really about.
“It’s easy for people to just have the freedom to be able to say things about me, and me not say anything. That’s the easy part,” he said on the interview that aired yesterday night. “But the hard part is to show them me, because I’m scared of being myself, sometimes.”
Brown first landed in the music scene with R&B group New Edition in the ’80s, before marrying singing sensation Houston in 1992. Drug and alcohol problems and spousal abuse accusations put the couple under much media scrutiny in the ’90s.
In December, 2003, police were called to the couple’s Georgia home. Houston alleged that Brown had hit her in the face. But Brown was quick to dismiss the abuse issue on Dateline: “Me and my wife play a lot. It was just a misunderstanding. I mean, we slap box, and she hits hard, hard.”
