Whitney Houston Covers InStyle Magazine

Whitney Houston is looking gorgeous on the January 2010 cover of InStyle magazine. The six-time Grammy winner talks about performing live again, her 16 year old daughter Bobbi Kristina and a possibility returning to film.

The diva chatted about being a sex symbol at 46:
“Sexy can be sexual without having to expose a lot of yourself. Your body can express a lot without your having to take off a lot. I try to splash it in there a little bit, just by body movement. A smile, a little glance, the way you lean back says sexy without being too open or offending anyone. Because once they’ve seen it all, they go, ‘Man, I’m bored with that,’ instead of ‘Hmm, what’s she going to do now?’”

Get your hands on the January issue this Friday, December 18!

My Grammy Moments

To kick off the event, U2 premiered their new single 'Get Your Boots On'. Great performance I'd have to say but what do you expect its U2! Whitney Houston look AMAZING in a elegant strapless dress. Whitney presented the Best R&B Album that went to talented Jennifer Hudson, who almost cried thanking her family. Justin Timberlake looking fly, introduced Al Green (who he sang with), Boys II Men, and Keith Urban on guitar. The group all sang Al's Lets Stay Together. Amazing performance, I couldn't expect anything more from them. One of the highlights of the night was Coldplay playing 'Lost' just with piano accompanied with Jay-Z into 'Viva La Vida'. All this other stuff happened and then Katy Perry performed with large props of Strawberry's and bananas.

'Swagga Like Us' was a great performance. Donned in black and white Jay-Z, T.I., Lil Wayne, Kanye West, and a VERY pregnant M.I.A performed flawlessly. 

More blah blah blah

T.I. & Justin Timberlake (played the piano) performed 'Dead And Gone' accompanied by strings. That was the one performance I waited for and that concludes my Grammy moments.
