Dionne Warwick sat down with GMA’s Robin Roberts on March 8 to talk about her relationship with Whitney Houston and her last conversation with her iconic cousin on the day she died. “She was so up and happy. She had everything in the world to live for,” Dionne told Robin.

Dionne spoke lovingly of Whitney, referring to her as the “little girl” she never had. “Whitney will be very much alive in here,” she said touching her heart.

Listening to Whitney’s “Saving All My Love For You” brought tears to Dionne’s eyes, saying that song was “the reason Whitney became Whitney.”

Whitney dearly wanted her cousin to be there for her on the day she died. And even though she’s gone, Dionne will continue to be there for Whitney.

Bobbi Kristina, the 18-year-old daughter of the late Whitney Houston, is “still in a state of shock” following her mother’s death, a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “She’s now wondering what she could have done to help. She’s feeling guilty, like if she had been with her mom in the hotel room, this wouldn’t have happened. She’s pretty much inconsolable.”

Bobbi is currently staying with Dionne Warwick and Whitney’s mom Cissy Houston, who isn’t so sure Bobbi should be spending a lot of time with her father, Bobby Brown. In fact, they’re determined to have Bobbi remain with them in New Jersey.

“Cissy doesn’t think Bobby is a good influence,” our source reveals, adding that Bobby has tried to get close with his daughter on several occasions since Whitney’s death. “When Bobby arrived in Los Angeles, he went straight to Cedars-Sinai to see Bobbi Kristina but Whitney’s family didn’t let him see her because she was sleeping. Bobby has spoken to his daughter but still has not seen her.”

Our heart goes out to Whitney’s entire family, but especially to poor Bobbi Kristina. It would be hard enough to handle her mother’s death without all of this familial turmoil.

Before Whitney Houston is laid to rest, her family members will have to find a way to settle their differences. Whitney’s cousin Dionne Warwick and mom Cissy Houston are battling the rest of their family over the right place to bury Whitney’s body, TMZ is reporting. Dionne, 71, and Cissy, 78, want her put down in Atlanta, while everyone else seems to favor Newark, N.J.

Whitney, 48, was discovered dead Feb. 11 in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel.

We wish everyone in Whitney’s family could put their differences aside and realize what’s really important here: honoring her memory.

It’s the ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ season finale — Click to find out the winner!

Donald Trump had to say “you’re fired” one last time this season. Get all the info on what went down between country star John Rich and actress Marlee Matlin – it was such a close call!

Marlee’s team of LaToya Jackson, Meat Loaf, and Richard Hatch, finally secured the help of 1970′s 7-Up spokesman Geoffrey Holder, making their team much more competitive with John’s

John Rich’s team included Lil’ John, Star Jones and Mark McGrath, and thankfully John was able to put his ego aside in order to make amends with Def Leppard. The band got their way when John decided to nix the kick drum idea.

The entire cast came back to sit and watch the finale, but also to talk smack about each other in front of a studio audience. Everyone, that is, except Richard Hatch who is now in jail again for tax evasion.

Donald asked Gary Busey the question everyone was wondering all season: ‘Are you crazy?’ He answered that he is mysterious, but was actually way funnier and seemed more normal than he ever did on the show. He even made fun of himself for his terrible pitch for Omaha Steaks.

Marlee did a great presentation on her charity, The Starkey Hearing Foundation, but the commercial she produced was pretty cheesy. The Harlem Globetrotters were the finishing touch and even Donald looked like he was satisfied with the finished result. Overall, her event went smoothly and she seemed extremely confident when it was over.

At John’s event, the 7-Up executives were disappointed that no one met them at the door like Marlee did, but his commercial featuring Dee Snider was a huge hit with the audience. Then disaster struck — John Rich introduced Def Leppard at 6:40 but didn’t have them scheduled to go on until 7:00 p.m. It was a total cricket noise moment while Donald looked around in utter disbelief.

Somehow he was able to refocus and come on stage to perform a few songs before Def Leppard actually did come out and play.

Donald’s meeting with the 7-Up people went well and they announced that both team’s soda cans will be available nationwide.

Maybe the best part of the episode was the montage of Nene Leakes throwing temper tantrums throughout the season. I have to hand it to her for sticking to her guns and not taking back a word she said.

Marlee and John had a chance to sit down with their teams in the board room with Donald, Ivanka, and Donald Jr. They had a chance to hear how their opponent’s event went and critique their can designs. There was no doubt about it that John Rich’s 80′s zebra print can was more impressive. Marlee also found out that John Rich had been raising money for his charity, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, despite the fact that this project was not based on fund raising.

After forty-five minutes of filler, Marlee and John made their final plea to Donald about why they should be the winner. Marlee argued that she has struggled with barriers because of being deaf and never took ‘no’ for an answer, while John argued that the winner of Celebrity Apprentice should be judged based on the contestant’s overall body of work.

In the very last second of the show, Donald decided — it’s John Rich’s win! Are you thrilled or did you think Marlee deserved it more?

It’s the final battle between Marlee Matlin and John Rich!

Celebrity Apprentice fans will be on the edge of their seat during the final episode, airing tonight at 9 p.m. on NBC. Last week we learned that not only did Donald Trump secure the help of the Harlem Globetrotters and Def Leppard, but there were other surprise guests as well!
Joining Marlee Matlin‘s team was LaToya Jackson, Meat Loaf, and Richard Hatch, while John Rich had the help of Star Jones, Mark McGrath, and his bestie Lil Jon. While John’s team initially seemed to be stronger, I don’t think Marlee can be counted out yet — you’ll have to tune in to find out! Plus even more of the cast returns, like fan faves Gary Busey and Nene Leakes!
