BOBBY BROWN OFFICIALLY INVITED TO WHITNEY HOUSTON'S FUNERAL

Whitney Houston's family has finally reached out to Bobby Brown ... and have formally invited him to attend Whitney's funeral in NJ on Saturday ... TMZ has learned.

Houston family sources tell us, "At the last minute, the family felt that it would keep the peace at the funeral [to have Bobby there] ... even though some family members were against it."

Sources close to Bobby tell us family friends had warned him not to go to the funeral ... but now, with the change of heart, Bobby will definitely be there.

Brown has agreed to perform at a concert at an Indian casino in Connecticut hours after the funeral ... and we're told he plans to leave NJ on a private jet so he can make it to the show on time.

WUNMI OBE CONFESSES, ‘IT AIN’T HIP TO BE FAT!’

With the way Wunmi Obe of the popular star couple, T.W.O, manages herself on and off the stage it’s difficult to imagine she bothers about being a plus-size.

The Deja Vu lead songstress and better half of Tunde Obe has however admitted that ‘It ain’t hip to be fat.’

The singer recently took to her facebook page to narrate a story of how a production team approached her to star in a Television programme and feature in a magazine that celebrates people that is on the ‘big side’.Obe, 43, was upset.

‘If there’s one thing that REALLY irritates me, it’s when some failed dieters come up with a TV prog or mag glorifying plus sized people (whilst they secretly chew on celery sticks and lettuce before bingeing on KFC & Blue Bunny), and then call on me to feature and tell people why it’s hip to be fat. IT AINT!! So if anyone’s lookin’ 2 me to help validate their failure to stick to a diet and make them feel good about courtin’ an early grave, good luck

ELSEWHERE! Cause I’m too busy tryina stick to mine!*Jeez‘, she wrote.

‘So, o ye plus-sized people, try stick to your diet so as not to dig an early grave’, she advices.

T.W.O’s last album ‘T.W.O Legit’ was in released in 2010. We’re told Wunmi Obe and her husband who rode to national fame with their segments on the rested Charly Boy show, are working to return to TV with their own variety show.

WHITNEY HOUSTON FINAL DOCTOR VISITS FOR TEETH WHITENING, SOAR THROAT

Whitney Houston made three visits to the doctor in the week prior to her death, but the trips had NO illicit purpose -- she had a sore throat and got her teeth whitened.

Both family and law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Whitney was recording the title track to "Sparkle" and got a sore throat ... so she went to a doctor to get it checked out. 

We're told the doctor gave Whitney an Rx for Amoxicillin. Whitney was also scheduled to film a commercial for her sister-in-law's candle line, so she went to a dentist twice to get her teeth whitened and cleaned.

And law enforcement sources have reiterated to TMZ ... Whitney was NOT doctor shopping for prescriptions and they believe none of the doctors crossed the line in their treatment of her.

As we first reported, Beverly Hills cops retrieved 6 medication bottles in Whitney's room, including Xanax and Amoxicillin.  She also had Midol and Ibuprofen.

And as we reported, it is increasingly looking like Whitney mixed Xanax and alcohol before getting in the tub, and that she may have died from a reaction to the drugs ... not from drowning.

NICKI MINAJ HOSTS MAC COSMETICS GLAM PARTY

Bringing an end to a busy day of promotional appearances, Nicki Minaj was spotted at the MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam Party in New York City last night (February 15).

The “Super Bass” babe looked cool and colorful as she mingled with fellow celebs like Ricky Martin and Kelly Osbourne who also turned out for the occasion.


And though she’s one of the most recognizable hip-hop artists today, Nicki isn’t bending to the expectations of style critics who say she dresses too outrageous.

“I’m not impressed to be in that world. I’m in my own world. I think sometimes the fashion world isn’t even about clothes anymore; it’s about this ‘in’ crowd, and I’m not into that. I realized more recently that even if it’s for a fashion magazine, I’m not gonna change who I am.”

BOBBY BROWN VS. WHITNEY HOUSTON'S FAMILY: IT'S A MONEY THING

It’s no secret that Bobby Brown has never had a great relationship with his late ex-wife Whitney Houston's family, and there’s a whole new war on the horizon.

According to a report from TMZ, Houston’s mother Cissy is petrified that Brown is trying to get into the good graces of his daughter Bobbi Kristina in hopes of padding his bank account with Whitney’s fortune.
And since Bobby is essentially broke, it’s no wonder he sees an opportunity. Whitney’s estate is said to be worth $20 million, with the possibility that it could double with posthumous record sales.

However, Brown’s camp has declared that he just wants to make amends with everyone during this difficult time, and that he has no ulterior motive.
