It’s been more than 15 years since Whitney Houston starred in a big Hollywood movie – 1996′s The Preacher’s Wife – and while fans may be rejoicing about her return to the screen in the upcoming Sparkle, the happiest person of all seems to be the pop diva’s costar, Jordin Sparks.
“She was so cool and very motherly toward me,” says the former American Idol winner, 22, who marks her film debut in the remake of a 1976 movie that originally starred Lonette McKee and Irene Cara. “If I ever looked like I needed something, here she came saying ‘Are you okay?’ “
“Part of the fun of making this movie is definitely the costumes and the hairstyles,” says the star, 48. “The movie is set in 1963, and we had a great wardrobe, hair and makeup person and I loved wearing the outfits.”
The film, which chronicles the challenges faced by group of singing sisters once they hit it big, is due out Aug. 10, 2012 (7 months from now) and costars Derek Luke.

To those of you who gets to choose who’s washed up and a has been, I Thank God you are not my savior or any one else’ savior for that matter. God is in control, not you it is, He who decides who will be blessed and cursed, He decides who will live and die, not you. As long a human being is still living on this earth., restoration has the ability to happen to all even to PERFECT PEOPLE like you.
No one is ever washed up forever if they choose to turn their life around. I am routing for Whitney & looking forward to this movie. She is a talent that should not be wasted.
I am proud of her and admire her courage to change. It isn’t easy, but it looks like she is headed UP in the right direction!!! God Bless you Ms Houston!
YAY Whitney!!!!!
Keep going UP Whitney you can do it…tell that crack to STFU and keep on steppin.
Whitney looks fab, i hope she does well in the movie. I love her music so much. This movie looks to be good.
As long as whitney is still here and working on her life n not hurting anyone and trying, I will always support her. None of her movies have disappointed me and I expect nothing less here.

was aretha in sparkly y’all??
was aretha in sparkly y’all??
***************
Aretha Franklin wasn’t in Sparkle; Mary Alice played the mother. Curtis Mayfield had Aretha sing the songs from the film on the soundtrack rather than the actresses who sang them in the movie.
get it right! Aretha Franklin was NOT in the original. It was Mary Alice who played the mother
I’m looking forward to the movie.
Also @Angelhair, Aretha Franklin was not in the original Sparkle movie.
was aretha in sparkly y’all??
****************
The 1976′s Sparkle’s soundtrack album featured Aretha Franklin in place of the actresses in the film.
Aretha Franklin was not in Sparkle. She sang the soundtrack.
Aretha did’nt play in the original Sparkle, she and Curtis Mayfield did the killer soundtrack.
Since when was Aretha Franklin in the original Sparkle? She was featured on the soundtrack, but was not in the movie.
Wow! So great to see Whitney looking so good. Maybe this will be a new start for her, hope so anyways.
Good to see Bobbie Brown gone from her life, she looks great an healthy
“givin him something he can feel”
“do let em know your love is real”
sound track was off the hook.
“Giving Him Something He Can Feel” “Jump,” “Hooked on Your Love,” “Look into Your Heart”…classics all of em…
Irene Cara and Lonette McKee did a great job singing the songs in the movie but Aretha put that extra SOUL in them
Can’t wait to see Sparkle. I love whitney. She looks great and I just know she will slay in this film. She seems much happier and at peace right now.
Go Whitney.
Where are you BOBBY!!!!!!!
