Whitney Houston made her stage comeback at a pre-Grammys party on Saturday. The 45-year-old singer looked in good health as she performed in a figure-hugging animal print dress at the 2009 Grammy Salute to Industry Icons show, in honor of record industry boss Clive Davis.

Her return to the stage has been hailed a triumph, with Whitney - who has publicly battled addition to crack-cocaine and endured a bitter break-up from singer Bobby Brown - told the crowd "I got it! I got it!" before launching into her hits "I'm Every Woman" and "I Will Always Love You."

Jennifer Hudson is set to marry "really soon." The "Dreamgirls" star and her fiance, attorney David Otunga, could tie the knot as early as this month, according to friends.

A source said: "It's going to be real soon. Some people think Valentine's Day. They're head over heels in love."

Jennifer Hudson has canceled a scheduled video shoot after deciding it is "too early" to go back to work following the murders of her mother, brother and nephew.

The 27-year-old star - who was confirmed to be filming the promo for new single "If It Isn't Love" in Los Angeles last week by her music label J Records - couldn't face returning to work after the shootings of mother Darnell Donerson Hudson, brother Jason Hudson and seven-year-old nephew Julian King in October.
