March 20, 2012 Dear Family and Friends, I wanted to let you all know that Martha passed away last night around 8pm. She was surrounded by family and friends, the chaplain had come by earlier in the day. I will let you all know about a service when I know. If I did not get a chance to reply to your emails, I would like to that you all for sending your notes and calling during this rough time. Please continue to keep all of us in your prayers. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to anyone you would like. Sincerely, Cindy (Esposito) Bahr- Joe's daughter

A little something to get your toes tapping today!

Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com The day after Whitney Houston's funeral, Geraldo Rivera followed up on his previous comments about Whitney's ex husband, Bobby Brown. Rivera took to the air saying, "Is he the devil or am I giving him too much credit?" He also says, "He is a total schmuck! I'm sorry to say that."

Darlene Love ( Whitney Houston's godmother) told The Today Show that there is NO truth to the rumor that Bobby Kristina was missing or doing drugs Saturday night after Her mother's funeral. When questioned, she said, "That's not true! That's not true. She was with us. She was with the family. The burial was very emotional and the best thing about that burial, it was like a procession because the people they lined the streets and we looked out the windows of the car and they were crying. And it made Cissy and Krissy feel really, really good. Everyone is getting over yesterday. Now it's a closure. And now we have to go on with life because Whitney would have wanted that."

Bobby Brown mentions Whitney again but does not address leaving the funeral in Newark the day before. Looks like the audience had a great time judging by the video above. Looks like Whitney is helping their tour, New Edition has had SOLD OUT shows since her pa$$ing.

We’re pleased (totally elated is probably a better way to put it) to share the following good news: Duke & The King will make its World Premiere at the Nashville Film Festival this April! Out of nearly 3,000 films submitted this year, less than 200 films made the cut … and only a handful of music documentaries. We feel very honored (and humbled) to be featured at this year’s festival! The film will be part of the Music Films / Music City competition sponsored by Gibson. It will also be part of the overall documentary competition in the festival. We couldn’t be more excited to have this film, which we believe captures a fascinating slice of American music history, premiere in Music City, USA. We want to thank all of you for the kind words of encouragement and support you’ve offered us as we’ve labored to complete this project! We are especially grateful to our many Kickstarter campaign backers! YOUR generosity helped make this film (and dream) a reality! And last, but...

NBC's Celebrity Apprentice premiered tonight with one of the best casts! I'm not sure if this season can beat Joan Rivers. But I'm loving the contrast.
