The “Sparkle” premiere in Hollywood was supposed to be Whitney Houston’s big night; instead, it was daughter Bobbi Kristina who stepped in to greet cheering fans.

It was Bobbi Kristina’s arm candy, however, that left the biggest impression. The budding actress walked the red carpet with Nick Gordon, Whitney’s “unofficial” adopted son.
Before heading to the movie debut, she tweeted, “Off to the premiere! Glammed and all! Time to walk this carpet & rep mommy like she would want me too (: god bless u all! nickdgordon enjoy!”
Gordon moved in with the family when he was 12 and the pair grew up side-by-side. The two made headlines when they came out as a couple following Houston’s death in February. Now, Bobbi, 19, and Nick, 22, live together in Whitney’s $1.2 million Atlanta mansion.
Through all the heartbreak, Bobbi has remained "strong" her aunt, Patricia Houston, told "Extra" on the "Sparkle" red carpet.
"You know what, Kristi is a trooper," Patricia told correspondent Ben Lyons. "She's very strong. You know she could have flipped and gone to the left. She did not, she's very focused. She's doing her very best. She lost her mom."
The film follows the story of musical prodigy Sparkle (Jordin Sparks), a Detroit native trying to make a name for herself while dealing with struggles at home. Houston plays Sparkle’s single mom, Emma.
"Sparkle" pops into theatres nationwide Aug. 17. Watch the cast interviews!

Of course Whitney is not the same in Sparkle as she was in The Body Guard. Two different movies, two different Whitney's and two differnt decades!
Yall need to quit with that brother crap. You mean lover. Don't get it twisted.
I pray the Bobbi Kristine takes her time with love, fame, and stay focused. Keep the faith! Please listen to the family, and Mr.Perry.With that team behind you, you will be great!
I think it is time to stop referring to Nick Gordan and Bobbi Kristina as brother and sister. They clearly are not brother and sister. This young lady has been through so much with the loss of her mother and yet she is still trying. We need to give this young lady all of the support we have. She is not responsible for what her parent's may or may not have done. Lets lift her up and encourage her, let her know that we love her. Think about your own child or children and how you would want them to be treated if something happened to you. Children are truly our blessings from God. They are to be loved not rediculed.
Both Bobbi and Nick Gordon look great and I wish them well. It is so sad that Whitney is gone, just when her life was turning around.
Come on people. That is not her real brother. She needed someone to get through the pain of losing her mother. He is there for her. Get a life of your own.
I saw sparkle this afternoon. It was wonderful and Jordin Sparks was fantastic. With all due respect I don't think Whitney had a big part and only sang one song. She played a great Mom but wasn't the same terrific Whitney who starred in the Bodyguard.
