4. SOUNDBITE (English) Whitney Houston, actor and recording artist - on "The Bodyguard":
"At first I wasn't - I was reluctant to doing it. It wasn't - I wasn't sure about the whole acting thing anyway. And I got a call from Kevin (Costner) one day talking about 'The Bodyguard.' And I had just recently at that around that time I'd gotten the script and I read it and I put it down and I hadn't quite, you know, I think I was more afraid than I was, you know, I'm going to make a decision to do it. I mean, it was a great script. I mean, who wouldn't want it, you know? But I had to think about it. I had to make sure that, more so than anything, that I was ready to do it and that it was something that I was going to sink my teeth into and really give it my all, you know. I don't want to do anything if I'm not good at it, you know. But I wouldn't know unless I tried."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Whitney Houston, recording artist - on being a diva:
"I'm very careful about 'diva.' I have met divas and I don't want to be a diva, you know what I mean? It's a very, very funny word, it can mean prima-donna or goddess, any given day you can be either/or, I don't know, I'm just Whitney. If diva is the word, and if that's what I am, and if I'm at the top of my class, if I'm the number one diva I'm fine; if I'm going to be number 2 I ain't cool with it."

STORYLINE:
This year would have been Whitney Houston would have turned 60, and a special celebration to raise money for a good cause is being planned for her birthday.

Houston's estate, Sony and Primary Wave Music will host the 2nd annual Whitney Houston Legacy of Love on Aug. 9, which will benefit the late singer's foundation aimed at helping young people.

Houston’s close friends BeBe Winans and Kim Burrell will perform at the gala at Atlanta's St. Regis Hotel, as will Whitney’s brother, Gary, who toured with her for three decades.

“When I turned 50, Whitney gave me two celebrations — one in Ireland and one in London. I always tell everyone now that one of them was for her,” says Pat Houston, Whitney Houston’s sister-in-law and the executor of her estate. Houston died in February 2012 at age 48. “This year is Whitney at 60 — we’re all looking forward to being a part of the power of love in that room.”


A charity auction will raise money for the foundation.
