Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Bobbi Kristina brought her boyfriend Nick Gordon along to Sparkle premiere at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood while Jordin Sparks shares her views on Whitney’s last role.

Prior to heading out to the premiere Thursday evening, Bobbi tweeted; “Off to the premiere! Glammed and all! Time to walk this carpet&rep mommy like she would want me too (: god bless u all! nickdgordon enjoy!”

Whitney Houston’s only daughter was definitely glammed up looking gorgeous in a black Herve Leger dress and a pair of to-die-for shoes!! Nick kept it classic in a black suit. Despite announcing the end to their engagement earlier this month Nick and Bobbi are still going strong. Just last week Whitney’s daughter tweeted a photo kissing her boyfriend with the caption,

“1 of the main reasons why i even smile today.:) iloveyoubooboo , forever&always. “it’s just US now”..@Nickdgordon {<3}”

Meanwhile Bobbi’s father Bobby Brown is headed back to rehab. His rep released a statement earlier this week; “Mr. Brown takes his agreement very seriously and admitted himself three weeks after concluding his honeymoon in Mexico during a break from the New Edition tour. Bobby is doing well and receiving services that comply with his agreement with the State of California.”

After news of his rehab Bobbi wished her father well on Twitter; “W/e (Whatever) you hear, I love my father, very much & wish him well in all!! No beef at all.”

Whitney’s last film Sparkle premieres in theaters today August 17th. It’s lead star Jordin Sparks hopes viewers will leave with the sentiment that Houston was happy.

“Above all, I just want them to see and know how happy she was on this film. Every day we walked in and she was just glowing and she’s glowing on screen, too.  You can just see it exuding from her.”

Check out more photos from the premiere below including Tika Sumpter, Carmen Ejogo, Derek Luke and Mike Epps.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
