ADELE CHANGES MIND ABOUT QUITTING MUSIC FOR 4-5 YEARS.

Wenn reports that British singing sensation Adele has backtracked on comments she made revealing she's planning to take a break from music for "four or five years", insisting she's heading into a recording studio later this month.

The soul star, whose heartbreak songs won her six Grammy Awards on Sunday, is currently enjoying a new romance with Simon Konecki, and revealed in a magazine article she wants to take a break from her career in case working damages her love life.

She told Vogue magazine, "I am f**king off for four or five years. If I am constantly working, my relationships fail. So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy. And then I don't know what I'll do. Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch."

The singer also revealed she plans to use her break to gather material for her next album, the follow-up to her critically-acclaimed record 21.

She added, "I don't want to be disposable. You're only as good as your next record. I'm not scared of losing this. I won't come out with new music until it's better than 21."

But following publication of the interview, Adele has downplayed her comments, declaring she has no intention of turning her back on her music.

In a blog post on Tuesday, she writes, "I've a few days off now, and then it's the Brit Awards here at home and then I'm straight into the studio. BOYYAHH! 5 years? More like 5 days!"

And her representatives also insist the star has no plans for a hiatus, dismissing her remarks as "an off-hand comment".

BOSSES AT SONY APOLOGIZE FOR WHITNEY HOUSTON MUSIC PRICE HIKE!

Wenn.com reports that the Bosses at record label Sony have issued an apology to Whitney Houston fans for "mistakenly" bumping up the price of her albums since her death on Saturday.

Following news of the tragedy, the wholesale cost of two of the singer's records - The Ultimate Collection and Greatest Hits - went up by around $4.80 each, causing an automatic price rise on iTunes.

The price hike caused outrage among fans, who took to social networking websites to slam record executives for being "greedy" and brand the move "shameful".

Now Sony heads have issued a statement insisting the albums were "mistakenly mispriced" and they "immediately corrected" the error once it had been discovered.

Sales of Houston's songs and albums have received a major boost in both the U.S. and U.K. since her passing.

MY FAVE GRAMMY RED CARPET OUTFIT: SASHA'S GUNNER DEFENSE MECHANISM.

With all my Whitney coverage, it's been so hard trying to cover the Grammys. Sasha's outfit was my fave! She looks like some GI Jane on the red carpet. Better controversy. If Nicki Minaj and her switched outfits, there would have been no issue.

PASTOR WHO MARRIED WHITNEY AND BOBBY WILL DELIVER EULOGY AT HER FUNERAL.

Marvin Winans of the famous Winans family will be delivering the eulogy at Whitney Houston's funeral in New Jersey on Saturday. This was at the request of her mother Cissy Houston. Winans is a gospel singer and a Detroit pastor. You will remember Winans also married Whitney and Bobby in 1992. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told the media Tuesday that he planned to issue an executive order so that flags at government buildings in New Jersey would fly at half-staff on the day of her funeral. Now that's RESPECT.

Whitney will be smiling from above. However, I am still somber as never in my life would I expect what that front row pew would look like. I see Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Cissy Houston, Dionne Warwick, all these elderly gospel music icons seated with Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina, Clive Davis and more. There will be a big screen TV outside New Hope Baptist church on Saturday for the standing room crowd outside. Fans will probably tailgate them to the cemetery. That procession coverage will be available here thruout Saturday afternoon. Security will be tight as the main audience are going to be celebrities and executives in the music business. Truly sad.

SPECIAL REPORT: WHITNEY'S DAUGHTER BOBBI CHRISTINA FOUND ASLEEP IN TUB!

What is going on now? Sources are telling me that Bobbi Kristina, Whitney's beautiful 18-year-old daughter was also found asleep in the bathtub of her separate hotel room at the Beverly Hilton hotel just one day earlier before her mother was found dead in her room. Friends of Bobbi K tried knocking on her door repeatedly and eventually had to contact security to open the door to her room so she could be removed from the tub. I am so glad she did not even DROWN! This would have been a double tragedy in 28 hours.

I am not going to speculate on Bobbi K using substances but of course you remember these pictures that came to me of her allegedly to be underage drinking and that gray smoke 3 years ago many speculated to be weed at the age of 16. We mentioned these things to Whitney at the time. Bobbi K has always been surrounded by her friends all the time I have known her and I sure hope they are there for her now.

I attended her 13th "new teenager" iconic birthday party in Atlanta few years ago. She will be 19 this year. A few e-mailers asked me today where she will go live now. I can't tell you but it's not necessarily with her father or grandmother. Remember she is 18. Leave that to the family's privacy.

WHITNEY'S GOLDEN HEARSE: A GOLDEN VOICE GONE.

Mrs Whigham's was in the passenger seat and spoke to media this morning. She is very caring about this business and she is used to media attention as Whitney's family also used her services in the past when Whitney's father was laid to rest. However this funeral has been certified PRIVATE and invite-only. Mrs Whigham told the media :

"They have shared her with the city, State and the World, now it's their turn."

The city of Newark's Mayor Booker office also told the media that the family has not reached out to them in hopes for a public memorial. Oh well, if they want to mourn in private, they deserve to. I will have you all the pictures and coverage on Saturday Feb 18th 2012.

Update: There will NOT be a PUBLIC MEMORIAL.

CISSY HOUSTON SEES HER DAUGHTER FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE DEATH, AS WHITNEY'S FUNERAL WILL BE PRIVATE THIS SATURDAY.

Whitney Houston's body has arrived in New Jersey at last. She is home and now her going home ceremony has been announced to the media. This is going top be a ruckus especially with GLOBAL media. The church is going to be the one below at New Hope Baptist church where she began singing at 11-years-old. That church sits only 1000 people.

Whigham's funeral home picked up the body at the airport with a golden hearse along with heavy police escort. Tons of paparazzi were everywhere. Some are saying that Mrs Cissy Houston who has been in seclusion should have made the funeral PUBLIC due to how many fans Whitney had. She was seen escorted by Mrs Whigham, owner of the funeral parlor and security into the funeral home to see her daughter's body for the first time. The Whighams also handled Whitney's father John Houston's funeral years ago.

It's been more than 15 years since Whitney Houston starred in a big Hollywood movie – 1996'sThe 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?' "

No less excited is Houston herself.

"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 Aug. 10 and costars Derek Luke. Read the rest here

ANOTHER BIG ARTIST IN THE WORKS: MEET DWAINE THE POP SENSATION.

Ok, so lets review the people I've interviewed and they became FAMOUS!
Nicki Minaj-No album, nothing but background on other ppl's mixtapes.
Young Jeezy-selling mixtapes from trunk car.
Ciara-no album, kid still in studio with Jazze Phae.
Knaan-Ex Somalian gang member living in the tough Rexdale area of Toronto.
Classified-Small town white rapper from Nova Scotia Sony called me to come intv at an album photo shoot.

So I met another one called Dwaine! Bam, I rushed to Shoppers Drug Mart in my casual clothes, it's snowing and everyone's talking about Whitney in the long line and I am trying to get home before 6pm to cover that red carpet show. This dude says "I'm an artist." I said really? He had his tracks in his I-phone and played these hot dance tracks to me. It was incredible. I told him "I'm a music reporter." Right place at the right time?

Dwaine is a little known BIG secret Toronto based international artist and just shot a video with Diddy, Keri Hilson, Trina and even songs with FloRida. This video has reached almost 1.5 million hits and titled "U R a Millon $ Girl." OMG! This is the next BIG one. Watch out Chris Brown.

Originally from Trinidad, He is signed with Rage Ent/Bungalo/Universal Music. This video was shot in Italy and he is returning to do even more work over there. Dwaine is stepping up his game. Very humble and sincere. He's got the right team. There will be more coming from him. I will have his short video interview later in my collage of Toronto artists. We managed to take some phone snapshots with frozen KJ hardly smiling. He forgot his gloves at home and just wanted to go home quick as the snow started. lol.

KANYE, JAY-Z, BEYONCE ALL MISSING IN ACTION AT THE GRAMMYS.

Kanye West won 4 Grammys last nite but was a no show. Yeezy and Hovi won the Best Rap performance for "Otis," that video where they stripped an expensive car and did stuff to it. Jay and Beyonce was a no show combo too. The popular Tribeca couple were noticeable absent at this year's Grammy awards and I heard they were spotted at their favorite posh pizzeria Lucali in the Carroll Gardens section of Brooklyn eating a romantic dinner.

You will remember that they released their baby Blue Ivy's pictures at dinnertime Friday. Just finished watching E-Talk and it was all about Whitney. Sadly baby Blue did not get any airtime on the Canadian entertainment show due to the breaking news death of Houston on Saturday. O well, that's what Twitter is for.
