THE FACTS
A video of Fantasia Barrino and Kandi Burruss dancing was taken down from Kandi’s YouTube account.

THE SPIN
A video of Fantasia and Kandi Burruss embracing their inner Ronnie and Tricks surfaced, but was quickly taken down once Team ‘Tasia took issue with the video floating around the internet.

Seems like her management felt the stripper bit would tamper with her image and mess with her funds.

Well, Kandi’s a trooper because she took the video down once asked and had this to say via Twitter:

“Fantasia & I thought the video was funny but her manager didnt approve & I dont wanna do anything that would b hurtful 2 her career. Oh well!”

She also said:

“Fantasia management  just didnt think it was a good look. I understood. gotta keep yo self marketable. some people may not think its funny like us.”

If Fantasia’s 79 tattoos and rapper boyfriend hadn’t scared them, I don’t get how this video would have but whatever.

But here’s the funny part about all of this: The video is still up. Once something is put online it’s there forever.

THE FACTS
Marlon Jackson spoke to U.K. tabloid The Mirror about Michael Jackson’s burial.

THE SPIN
I guess it’s Marlon’s turn to collect a check off his brother’s name. The Jackson I forgot existed (no offense to you, Marlon, it’s just you never had a solo hit like Rebbie and the others) told The Mirror that the King of Pop will buried in gold.

Per the Mirror:

Lying in state in an £18,000 gold-plated casket, the drug-ravaged singer has been fitted with a special wig to give him flowing shoulder-length locks, Marlon says.

CCTV cameras linked to sensors will activate an alarm to warn security guards of any would-be trespassers at the grave.

Drug-ravaged singer? Really?

Disrespectful tone aside, Marlon did provide further insight in the funeral by adding:

Marlon, 52, said: “This will be Michael’s final curtain call – the last show. His shell will be gone but his spirit lives on.”

Jackson will be buried in Holly Terrace Grand Mausoleum at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park, five miles from Hollywood in North Los Angeles, alongside stars including Humphrey Bogart and Clark Gable.

Good to know Michael will get the privacy he never got in life for once.

THE FACTS
Whitney Houston’s new album is released today.

THE SPIN
This hasn’t been the decade for Whitney Houston.

The 00’s kicked off with Whitney mysteriously bailing on a planned performance at the Academy Awards. Though she cited a soar throat as the culprit, rumors sparked that she showed up acting the fool at rehearsal.

Of course, we all remember her infamous “crack is wack” comment in her interview with Diane Sawyer.

Then there’s the Being Bobby Brown reality series. Sure, most people got their laughs in, but then people thought about it – this isn’t the Whitney we’ve come to love.

This is Nippy Newport – an erratic woman who’s not doing anything close to what made her famous.

That’s why you don’t remember the Just Whitney album or her holiday collection, One Wish: The Christmas Album.

It’s why you purposely ignore her showing at Michael Jackson’s 30th anniversary special looking like a disco skeletor.

Despite her hardships, she’s officially back with her new album, I Look To You. Trying to mix styles old and new Whitney goes back to longtime collaborations like Diana Warren and David Foster in addition to new ones like Akon, Alicia Keys, and R. Kelly.

The reviews are pouring in and most of them are positive. But many ignore one big fact: She can’t sing the way she used to. Still, she’s back so the question is: “Will you be supporting her new effort?
