April 23, 2003 April 22, 2003 April 18, 2003 April 17, 2003 Whitney had a ball on the set and she had the chance to meet Tamyra Gray
from American Idol with whom she had a scene. She also had a chance to sit
with Tamyra and tell her about what to expect in this music industry and how to
deal and handle herself, but Whitney knows that she will be fine with Clive Davis
looking over her project. On the finale, Whitney also sings her new single, "Try It On My Own." Be sure to tune in and set those VCR's!
April 17, 2003 Houston will also work with former "American Idol" finalist Tamyra Gray, who's wrapping up her recurring role as the shy but talented student Aisha. She's set to sing at the prom, but when she hears Houston -- her idol -- will be there, she gets stage fright.
Houston does her best to help Aisha get over her nerves, giving an unplanned performance of "Try It on My Own," her latest single.
A six-time Grammy winner, Whitney Houston has sold more than 120 million albums in her career. Her acting credits include "The Bodyguard," "Waiting to Exhale" and, most recently, ABC's 1997 musical "Cinderella."
"Boston Public" is an American drama based on the lives of students and faculty at a High School based in Boston and tackles issues such as drug abuse, teenage pregnancy and racism. Guest celebrities are a fairly common feature to the series.
The "Boston Public" season finale is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET Monday, May 12.

April 9, 2003 April 7, 2003 And here are a few details about the video from the etonline web site :
"Entertainment Tonight has the new footage you've never seen from Whitney Houston's brand-new video for "Try It On My Own." The newest release from her "Just Whitney" album is classic Whitney. The diva traveled to Miami to shoot the video at the city's historic Lyric Theater, one of the oldest African-American owned venues in the country. And her husband, Bobby Brown, even makes a cameo appearance. David LaChapelle, the director responsible for Chrisitna Aguilera's raunchy romp in "Dirrty," also has the helm for this Whitney ballad."
Whitney in New York! April 5, 2003
The troubled diva - radiant and healthier-looking than she has been in a while - became
misty-eyed after singing "I Will Always Love You" at a benefit dinner in the New
York Sheraton. She dedicated the song to her father, John Houston, who died two months
ago.
Houston was the surprise performer at the Rev. Al Sharpton's Keepers of the
Dream Awards dinner, where honorees included attorney Johnnie Cochran, (who
Sharpton affectionately called "Superman"), Democratic Massachusetts State Sen. Dianne
Wilkerson, Anheuser-Busch exec Johnny L. Furr and California Dem chieftain Art
Torres.
"I'm so full tonight," Whitney told the crowd, which gave her a rousing
standing ovation. "Today was the first time I've been back since my father died. I
sat with my brother today and we just cried."
Houston began tearing up after a song from her new album, "Just Whitney," and
was visibly moved as she left the stage with an assistant who struggled to carry the train
of her body-hugging dress.
The other highlight of the evening was Sharpton's 16-year-old daughter Dominique
singing "The Wind Beneath My Wings." Papa Sharpton also honored Arista Records
CEO Antonio (L.A.) Reid and top music attorney Joel Katz.
