I'm sure by now many of you have already heard that Whitney Houston has put down the crack pipe long enough to work on the remake of the 1976 classic Sparkle, playing the mother of Jordin Sparks' title character. Today I bring you th first exclusive still of the film, which has Houston returning to the big screen for the first time in 15 years since The Preacher's Wife (has it really been that long since we've seen Houston acting in a movie?)
“Part of the fun of making this movie is definitely the costumes and the hairstyles,” the 48-year-old legend tells PEOPLE. “The movie is set in 1963, and we had a great wardrobe, hair and makeup person and I loved wearing the outfits.”
Jordin also gave her thoughts on the singing icon. “She was so cool and very motherly toward me,” says the 22-year-old “American Idol” winner, who plays a singer who hits it big. “If I ever looked like I needed something, here she came saying ‘Are you okay?’”
Can't wait to see a trailer for this film, which I'm sure will be as good as Dreamgirls. Sparkle opens in theaters on August 10.
