Houston's Final Songs To Sparkle In New Movie
The final two songs tragic Whitney Houston recorded will feature in her new film Sparkle.
She will sing one track on camera while the other, a duet with her movie daughter Jordin Sparks, will play over the remake's closing credits.
According to multiple reports, the duet Celebrate was written by R. Kelly.
Sparkle is in post-production and on schedule, according to Sony Pictures executives. It is scheduled to hit cinemas this summer (Aug12).
The movie, a remake of Fame star Irene Cara's 1976 rags-to-riches story, was set to launch Houston's movie comeback - it is her first film since The Preacher's Wife in 1996.
Houston had been working on the project for over a decade and initially wanted tragic Aaliyah to play her daughter in the film. The soul singer died in a plane crash in 2001.
Cee Lo Green also appears in the movie.
