MMR Ent News - Angela Bassett
“I consider it a gift that was given to me, the opportunity to tell this story and try to tell it with love and compassion and dignity,” Bassett told “HuffPost Live.” “I, like, everyone adored her.”
Bassett worked with Houston on the 1995 hit film “Waiting to Exhale.”
“We had a wonderful time together,” Bassett recalled, adding that she and Houston and the other two female co-stars would go bowling and play cards off the set. “She was very young and at the top of her game. It was a delightful time. She was amazing to be around.”
The film centers on the love story between the singer and husband Bobby Brown, amid recent objections from Houston’s mother, gospel legend Cissy Houston that “no one connected with this movie knew Whitney or anything about her relationship with Bobby.”
In July, Cissy Houston told “Entertainment Tonight” in an exclusive statement, “In the two years since Whitney’s death, many people have stepped forward to speak about their close relationship with her. I find it difficult to believe people who knew and supposedly loved her would participate in a movie about her done by folks who didn’t know her. We are exhausted by the continuing misinformation and comments offered by people who did not know her. Please please let her rest.”
Bassett told “HuffPost Live,” “I did spend a little time [with] her, but to know her intimately, intimately — I mean, who does but the person and the Lord they serve? Who knows a person?”

MMR on Ent News- Mariah and Da Brat
Da Brat has now recalled her first meeting with Carey to Billboard magazine, revealing she immediately felt a connection with her. She recalls, “I felt like she was just like me, but she had to keep it shielded. She wanted to do the things I did and talk the way I talked. She was signed to Sony and had this reputation to uphold of being a diva. That’s why we jelled. She was living through me and we became the best of friends. We’re both Aries and both like to have fun that’s why we say we’re ‘eternally 12′, because we’re kids.”

Obama weighs in on Ebola
President Barack Obama called on the country to support health workers treating Ebola patients in West Africa, praising their "incredible heroism" as states have imposed mandatory quarantines for returning doctors.
"America, in the end is not defined by fear. That's not who we are. America is defined by possibility, and when we see a problem and we see a challenge, then we fix it," the president said Tuesday on the White House South Lawn before embarking on a trip to Milwaukee.
"We want to make sure that we understand that they are doing God's work over there, and they're doing that to keep us safe."
Obama earlier Tuesday had a conference call with the members of the USAID team that has been on the ground in West Africa since August. Ebola has killed nearly 5,000 people, mostly in the West African countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, in an outbreak that has overwhelmed local health care systems.
