Taylor Swift likes smelling her fans! Posted February 22, 2012 by Phil O'Reilly

 

Taylor Swift tells UGO News, "I love that feeling when I know someone is wearing my perfume. We worked on it for such a long time and I really love it. I wear it every day. So when I walk past someone who's wearing it too, or I go to a party and smell it, it's like, 'Ah! Someone is wearing Wonderstruck,' and I feel really proud."

Whitney's dress for sale Posted February 21, 2012 by Phil O'Reilly

A black velvet dress that belonged to Whitney Houston and a pair of earrings she wore in "The Bodyguard" are going to be auctioned off next month. The Houston family removed everything they could from Whitney's hotel room including bed sheets, towels and trash because they didn't want hotel employees or fans selling any items on eBay. Police are turning fans away from Whitney's grave. Whitney Houston's movies have been removed from Netflix and other streaming sources. Hollywood studios are hoping the removal spurs DVD sales.

Houston fans and other collectors can bid online, by phone, or in person during the Hollywood Legends auction on March 31 and April 1. Lots will be shown during a free public exhibition beginning March 19 at Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills, Calif., just blocks from the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where Houston died at age 48.

Governor Christie orders half staff flags for Whitney Houston Posted February 17, 2012 by Phil O'Reilly

Governor Christie of New Jersey ordered flags at half staff in honor of Whitney Houston.  Jersey is Whitney's home state.  The governor did the same thing for Clarence Clemmons of the Jersey based E. Street Band.  Some are upset by the action because of Whitney's durg addiction problems.  Would they have said the same thing about Elvis?  I wonder.  I support the governor's order.  R.I.P Whitney.
