With a hem several inches too long, the comeback diva had to keep hoisting the frock up to avoid falling on her face as she belted out the lyrics to “Million Dollar Bill.” Whitney even had to deal with the garb’s back fastening coming apart.

Despite the wardrobe malfunction, Whitney championed through her performance, telling host Dermot O’Leary: “I sang myself out of my clothes…”

Whitney Houston Tells Oprah: “Bobby Slapped And Spat On Me!”

Whitney Houston says ex-husband Bobby Brown was emotionally abusive during their 14 year marriage and at one point slapped and spit on her.

On Monday, Whitney — who is staging a career comeback with the release of her album in 7 years, I Look To You – told Oprah that the crooner wasn’t physically abusive but that “he slapped me once but he got hit on the head three times by me.”

Whitney, 46, says she “was horrified he spit on me, in my face” and that left her “very hurt, very angry.”

The star says she was attracted to Brown, who she married in a lavish ceremony in 1992, because he had control in their relationship.

“He was my drug,” Whitney tells Oprah. “I didn’t do anything without him.” “Something happens to a man when a woman has that much fame. … I tried to play down all the time. I used to say, ‘I’m Mrs. Brown, don’t call me Houston.’”

The star also opened up about her drug use, revealing that she abused cocaine and marijuana, but added that Bobby also drank alcohol.

Whitney Houston goes one-on-one with the Queen of Talk in a two-part appearance premiering on The Oprah Winfrey Show this Monday, Sept. 14.

Oprah Calls Whitney Houston Interview “The Best I’ve Ever Done”

Castina — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 14:29:29 +0000

Oprah Winfrey is calling her upcoming interview with R&B diva Whitney Houston “the best interview I’ve ever done.”

In a two-day TV event beginning Monday, Sept. 14, The Queen of Talk sits down with Whitney for a “jaw-dropping, open, honest and candid” conversation about her 14-year marriage to Bobby Brown, drugs, rehab and her journey back from near disaster.

Whitney’s new comeback album, I Look To You, which is expected to debut at #1 on the Billboard charts later this week.

“I think it’s the best interview I’ve ever done. But I guess you’re supposed to let other people say that about yourself. I can’t think of a moment, ever, when I had a stronger connection to the person I was interviewing,” Oprah said in a statement Tuesday. “My approach to this interview was to not be judgmental in any way, and not to go in trying to get her to say things to make a ‘moment.’ I just wanted to be able to have an honest conversation with her. One woman to another woman. And the day of the interview I literally prayed about that all day long. I just wanted a connection between the two of us. And that is what happened.”

O continues, “I think whether you liked or loved Whitney Houston before you will certainly have a deeper appreciation for what she has been through as a human being. And I mean, the fans are just going to love her even more.”
