Whitney Houston’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown has said she wants to be now known as Kristina Houston and Anne Hathaway tells us her thoughts on body image in Hollywood and why she is considered as being fat. Really, Anne?
Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown reportedly wants to change her name to lose her link with her father.
The 19-year-old will drop ‘Bobbi’ and ‘Brown’ from her name and wishes to become known as Kristina Houston, TMZ reports.
Bobbi Kristina has wanted to change her name as far back as 2006 when her parents divorced, but Whitney had previously disallowed it. Whitney Houston left everything in her estate to daughter Bobbi while her father Bobby Brown will receive nothing.
Bobbi was hospitalised following her mother’s death for ‘stress and anxiety’ and was said to be upset that her father Bobby Brown left his ex-wife’s funeral over a dispute about seating arrangements.
Houston and Brown were married in July 1992 and their daughter was born in March 1993. The couple split in 2006 after a stormy 14-year marriage marred by drug use and an assault charge.
Bobbi Kristina recently revealed in a highly anticipated interview with Oprah that she regularly senses her mother’s spirit.
“I can still sit there and I can still laugh with her, I can still sit there and I can still talk to her,” she said.”I can hear her voice in spirit talking to me, telling me, keep moving baby, I’m right here, I got you.”
“She’s always with me, I can always feel her, I can always feel her with me,” the 19-year-old told Oprah.
According to US Weekly, Anne Hathaway weighs in on body image in Tinseltown, “When people refer to me as a ‘regular’ girl … it’s code word for ‘fat’ in Hollywood.”
Anne seems to have forgotten she was chosen to don a skin-tight lycra suit to play the taught and lean Catwoman for the next installment of the Batman Movies. Not sure many of us mere ‘regular’ mortals could pull that one off!
“But my body has chosen its shape,” she added. “I’d rather be strong than skinny.”
This isn’t the first time the Love and Other Drugs star (in which she was naked 90% of the time… go figure) has gone public about her body image.
Anne says she has often sent back designer dresses to be altered so they fit her for the red carpet. “If designers want to dress me then I am at the larger end of the Hollywood scale so they have to be fine with that,” she said. “And I think what some designers do is if a dress doesn’t fit you because it’s been fitted to a size zero model they will remake the dress for you.”
Rescu. thinks Anne is perfect just as she is!
