In what appears to be a slew of pre-movie-promo, Whitney is at it again in another candid interview, this time with Extra TV. The diva sat down with her longtime friend (Extra's Correspondent) AJ Calloway - who she first met back in 2000 when AJ was one of the hosts of BET's 106 & Park, and talked about everything from love between the cast on the set, to almost revealing a big musical surpise that will take place in the film.
Who is the big surprise? Well we cannot say for sure, but we found it very odd and random that AJ brought up lady Aretha Franklin; in which who was also a part of the original Sparkle's soundtrack. Whitney's reaction to the name Aretha Franklin seem to genuinely shift her mindset and take her slightly off guard, which seemed to indicate a possible appearance by her real-life Godmother. It would be a treat to see these two souful divas in a duet.
Lonnette Mckee, who played the juicy role of Sista in the original Sparkle in 1976, may also be a surprise addition to the new revamped installment of Sparkle, being she has in recent days been on the set of the film. Since both Aretha and Lonette reside in Detroit where Sparkle is being filmed, it is not out of the realm to speculate an appearance by both of these Icons.
Whitney appeared youthful, vibrant, and very approachable as she sat down with AJ. A much more relaxed, open, and humorous Whitney shined through: the Whitney of old.
Many fans of the multi-platinum selling diva are getting their dose of Whitney-mania, as she also had appeared in earlier interviews this week with Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood .
