In response to the report "For the Love of Whitney Houston" recently posted on Classic Whitney, A representative from Whitney Houston's office, Nippy, Inc., made the following comments in a call to me today: They expressed concern that the report overstates Whitney Houston's situation. Whitney has been in the studio and recordings have been going well, suspending work for only two days when she contracted a cold. Bobby Brown has been in discussions about a recording contract with Arista/BMG for the best part of a year. The fans' concerns have been registered, and continuing to address them is unnecessary.
