Throughout the 14 episode half-hour series, we'll see the Houston Family as they come together to deal with the loss of Whitney and focus on Krissy, the only heir to her mother’s estate.

We'll also see how Pat Houston, Krissy’s aunt, guardian, manager and executor of Whitney’s estate, tries her best to keep this large family together as they help Krissy deal with the loss of her mother in a healthy way and grow into a talented and beautiful young woman.  Check out the first teaser below:

Kelly Rowland Preps "Year Of The Woman" Album & New Promo Shot + Frank Ocean HITS THE STUDIO With Pharrell & Jay-Z

Posted: 10 Oct 2012 02:06 PM PDT

Singer Kelly Rowland revealed a new website today along with a promo shot and the title of her 4th solo disc. Get the deets inside and see who Frank Ocean is working with...

Actress and singer Kelly Rowland revealed a new website today where she told fans the title of her upcoming disc.  She said,

Im so excited to reveal the title of my fourth solo studio album. For weeks I have been using the hashtag #YOTW which stands for my next album which is titled ‘Year Of the Woman‘. This album is one of my greatest pieces of work and I cannot wait to share it with you guys! xoxo- KR

Kelly spoke to Vegas Magazine about the upcoming project saying,

I am more excited going into it this time than last time because I have a concept. I’m making this album for my ladies, oh, yes, and it is strong. All of the producers I’ve been working with get the concept so much that they brought in a little more aggressive—and sometimes masculine—approach, but there is a really incredible top line: I want to tell women how incredible we are, how our intuition is so spot-on. Sometimes we don’t listen to it, but it is the thing that can actually make us happier.”
 

Another album though?  We love Kelly so we'll just say do you boo.  By the way, you can also check out the new Destiny's Child greatest hits collection Playlist which hits stores today.

 

In other music news...

Pharrell tweeted a photo of himself in the studio with Frank Ocean and Jay-Z saying,

 

No word yet on what the three are cooking up but it should be interesting.
