Cissy Houston has been meeting with publishers about writing a tell all book about her daughter Whitney Houston...
From The NY Times
Affectionately calling her daughter “Nippy,” her childhood nickname, and appearing emotionally and physically drained, Ms. Houston met with publishers in a suite at the St. Regis Hotel, said the people, who declined to be identified because the negotiations were still going on.
Ms. Houston, 78, described the book in meetings as the real and definitive story of her daughter, the pop legend who died on Feb. 11 in Beverly Hills at the age of 48.
“It’s going to be the bad, it’s going to be the good,” she told one publisher.
How much Ms. Houston is prepared to disclose — and how candid she will be about her daughter’s troubled marriage and long pattern of drug use — could determine the amount of money a publisher would be willing to spend on the book.
Bidding could easily go into seven figures, said the people who attended the meetings.
