Cissy Houston wasn't impressed with Bobby Brown's interview about her daughter, Whitney: - “Last night I saw Bobby Brown’s interview with Robin Roberts. It was disturbing. Although the interview was supposed to promote his autobiography, he never spoke about his parents and siblings and any issues they might have or have had that impacted and may continue to impact on Every Little Step he takes. Instead he chose to concentrate his comments primarily on Whitney.”(Photos from left: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET, Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images)

Tracee Ellis Ross loves how Black-ish brings families together to talk about real issues: - “Black-ish is set in current times. So doing a police-brutality episode in current times, when kids are watching our show, it gives them an access point to have these kinds of conversations as a family. That’s one of the things I love: People watch as a family.”(Photo: Nicholas Hunt/Getty Images Fragrance Foundation)

Beyoncé remembers starting out, when brand name designers didn’t want to dress a curvy, Black, country girl: - "Starting out in Destiny’s Child, high-end labels didn’t really want to dress four black country curvy girls, and we couldn’t afford designer dresses and couture. My mother was rejected from every showroom in New York… My mother and my uncle, God rest his soul, made all of our first costumes… When I wore these clothes, I felt like Khaleesi. I had an extra suit of armor. It was so much deeper than any brand name.”(Photo: Theo Wargo/Getty Images)

I’m the greatest that I can be."(Photo: Grant Lamos IV/Getty Images)

She's fired."(Photo: Paras Griffin/Getty Images for Warner Bros)
