"WHITNEY"

A new documentary on the life and career of singer [url HREF=" https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/05/whitney-houston-documentary-abuse" TARGET="_blank" REL="nofollow"]Whitney Houston [/url] levels serious allegations against a deceased family member. In the documentary, Houston's brother, Gary, claims he and Whitney were sexually abused by their cousin, Dee Dee Warwick, who died in 2008. Dee Dee is the sister of singer Dionne Warwick. Gary's wife, Pat, and Houston's former assistant, Mary Jones, back up the claims saying Whitney discussed the abuse with both of them, but it was a dark family secret that no one wanted to discuss.

"Whitney" hits theaters July 6..

SNL

The season finale of "Saturday Night Live" is this weekend. Former head writer and cast member Tina Fey will be back to host for her sixth time. Nicki Minaj will be the musical guest.
