Whitney Houston Sparkle broadwayAP

Whitney Houston's memory will live on, as the world views her final film role and hear the last songs she recorded before her untimely death in the upcoming movie, "Sparkle." But the celebration won't end there. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new film is set to be adapted into a new book, and will also hit the Broadway stage as a live musical!

Howard Rosenman, producer and writer of the original 1976 "Sparkle," and executive producer of the upcoming 2012 version, tells THR that a book adaptation of the film was sold six weeks ago to publishers Simon & Schuster. The novel will be released Aug. 7, days before the star-studded movie hits theaters on Aug. 17.

Rosenman went on to reveal that he is also teaming up with his co-screenwriter from the "Sparkle" original, Joel Schumacher, to bring the film to the Broadway stage. The duo plan to add five new songs to the movie musical for an exciting live-stage version.

This only an industry ploy to take all fans money AGAIN
A book right before the movie comes out how obvious is that.
Clive Davis didnt give chit about this woman and the rest of you should be thinking the same thing and busy worried about you retirement fund of your own.

This is absolutely free, very easy all you need is an internet facility.

I have been using this system for some time now; I will be showing you how to make unlimited cash with your liberty reserve account and a perfect money account. I will try to make it as short as possible. But clear, just like every other business your interest and seriousness counts

"The reward for hard work is success"

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS

1. open a liberty reserve account at www.libertyreserve.com ( this is free)

2. Open a perfect money account at www.perfectmoney.com (this is free)

3. Fund your liberty reserve account with a minimum of 11 USD, because of transaction charges, actually you needed a minimum of 10 USD.

(Note: To fund or sell your liberty reserve, go to www.google.com to search for an exchanger close to you.)

4. Go to www.softxchanger.page.tl , and exchange 10 USD from your liberty reserve account to your perfect money account.

1 LR------>1.28 PM, so 10 LR----> 12.80 PM.

5. Go to www.superchange.ru or www.swapgold.com , exchange 12.80 Perfect money to 11.01liberty reserve.

1 PM ----> 0.86 LR, so 12.80 PM--->11.01 LR. You have gain 1.01 USD

6. Repeat the exchange process from LR---->PM--->LR .



You can always increase your capital, because the more money you exchange the faster u make your cash. I can make up to 257 USD per day. Doing up to 25 exchanges per hour. But there is also no harm in starting small.

The only place where success comes before work is the Dictionary."

Disclaimer

How much money you make depends on your capital and the amount of time you put into this venture.



GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
