Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina is obviously going through a tough time since the loss of her mother several weeks ago. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey which aired Sunday [March 11] the 19-year old says she can still feel her mom's presence in her home.
"Throughout the house lights turn on and off and I'm like, 'Mom what are you doing?'" she told Oprah. "I can still sit there and laugh with her. I can still sit there and talk to her."
Oprah responded by simply saying: "wow."

The Notorious B.I.G.'s death hit the entire hip-hop community hard. Family, friends and fans mourned when Biggie died March 9, 1997. His children lost a father, his mother lost a son and the rap world lost one of the all-time greats.
Big's friends and collaborators were affected too. In a 1998 interview with MTV News, Jay-Z talked about how Biggie's tragic death weighed on him and ultimately changed the course of his sophomore album, In My Lifetime, Vol. 1.
"A lot of different songs were influenced by what was happening. 'City Is Mine,' the first verse, you could just hear it. I think two hooks on there came from songs that he had previously recorded," Jay said of the LP that he dropped eight months after his friend passed away
Vol. 1's "City Is Mine" served as a letter to the deceased. On the song's first verse, Jay raps, "What the deal, playboy? Just rest your soul." From there, Jay vows that "a world with amnesia" wouldn't forget Biggie's name, and then he proceeded to take Big's reins as the rap king of New York.
Though there were some bright moments on Jay's first Def Jam release, songs like the Kraftwerk-sampling "(Always Be My) Sunshine" were few and far between. Jay's experience in the studio was different from when he crafted his 1996 debut, when he had B.I.G. to help push his artistic boundaries.
"The album to me — this album wasn't fun to me like Reasonable Doubt,because it was like, it seemed really slow to me, and I didn't set out to do that, just looking back now and listening to it now," he said somberly in the 1998 interview.
Big wasn't physically in the studio; Jay revealed that the only song the Brooklyn Don got to hear and give feedback on from Vol. 1 was the dark and brooding "Streets Is Watching." Still, Big was well-represented on the album. Aside from "City Is Mine," Big got a special shout-out on "Friend or Foe '98," when Hov famously offered to throw some ice up to heaven for "the nicest MC." Jay also recycled Biggie's rhymes on the hooks to "Face Off" and "Real N*ggaz." The Sauce Money-assisted "Face Off" borrowed its chorus from Biggie's intro ad libs on his 1997 album cut "Nasty Boy," and "Real N*ggaz" got its hook from a freestyle B.I.G. did over a string of Dr. Dre instrumentals before he passed. Then there was the melancholy "Lucky Me," on which Jay briefly speculated on his own death and questioned if fame was all that it was cracked up to be. "There's a lot of emotions on the album, and that was definitely influenced by what was goin' on and what had happened," Jay-Z said.
On Wednesday's "RapFix Live," Lil' Kim spoke on the Notorious One's relationship with Jigga. "He and Jay-Z just had this adorable friendship — it was the cutest," she said. "They were so competitive with each other, but it was such a friendly competitiveness, and I loved it, because that's how it's supposed to be when you like somebody."
When B.I.G. passed, that friendly competition was lost. "I don't have anyone to bounce off of, you understand? We bounced off each other like, 'Oh that was crazy; I gotta make something crazier.' When you don't have that, you don't have that gauge," Jay said. "It's just hard to adjust; you have to find other ways to motivate yourself."
Hov seems to have adjusted just fine. When Biggie died in 1997, Jay only had one album under his belt and was on his way to releasing his second. Now, 15 years later, Jay has built a career that is unmatched with 11 solo albums and a number of collaborative releases with R. Kelly, Linkin Park and Kanye West. But back in 1998, Jay could only use one word to describe Big's legacy: "Unparalleled. There'll never be another person to come along to fill that void."

Mystikal is officially back with his first video with Cash Money.
"Original" is a warm up single for the rapper's first album in eleven years which is tentatively titled Under The Bills.
Birdman and Lil Wayne lend a hand on this one.
UFC President Dana White needs to do something quick or risk losing one of the most popular fighters in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is adamant that he will only fight one more time for the organization, then he will leave for what he hopes are greener pastures. And by greener, I mean more money. The problem for Jackson is that the UFC has a stranglehold on the sport.
The UFC's parent company Zuffa, LLC has bought out World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC), Pride Fighting Chamionships, Strikeforce and World Fighting Alliance (WFA). What that means is if you plan of fighting in mixed martial arts you will either fight for the UFC or starve.
In the past week Rampage has twice stated he's done fighting for the UFC after his next bout.
"I feel sorry for my next opponent, no matter who or what it is," Jackson wrote via Twitter several days ago. "I will fight whoever they put in front of me — I always have — but it will be my last fight in the UFC. I have other things on my mind. I didn't say I would be done fighting; I just said I'm not fighting for the UFC (u fight cheap)."
According to Yahoo Sports Jackson was paid $325,000 for UFC 96 in 2009. A win against Keith Jardine. Since that time he has fought five more times in the Octagon with only two wins. One of those losses was a championship fight against Jon "Bones" Jones.
It's being reported that the UFC has asked Rampage to take a pay cut because he is losing audience "appeal" which is probably what set him off.
Rampage's record now stands at 32-10. At 33-year's old his options are limited, but despite being told he has lost his "appeal" fans still like to see him fight because he goes for the knockout every time. But his temper may get the best of him. Check out his most recent Twitter rant below.
If this keeps up we may not be seeing much more of Rampage in the Octagon.
What do you MMA fans think of this situation?

Forget anything you have seen all season because Gerald Green put himself at the top of the list for dunks in the NBA last night.
The 6'8 guard from the New Jersey Nets caught an alley oop and threw it down with windmill action like it was a dunk contest.
The Nets still lost the game to the Houston Rockets, but Green's dunk won't be forgotten anytime soon.

Two Philly heavy spitters Gille Da Kid and Beanie Sigel link up for "Blow My High." The track is off of Gillie and DJ Drama's Gangsta Grillz mixtape King of Philly, available now.
Even when Kanye West and Jay-Z tear something apart it's still worth money.
The Maybach 57 the two rap titans wheeled around in their video for "Otis" went up auction Thursday [March 8] and sold for $60,000 in less than five minutes. The price was less than the pre-sale estimate of $100,000 to $150,000 by auction house Phillips de Pury & Co, but then again the car was basically destroyed in the Spike Jonze directed video.
The vehicle normally retails for $375,000 when new.
Proceeds from the sale went to benefit the Save the Children organization to provide food for children in Africa.
