Whitney Port’s Rockin’ Retail Romp
Adding to her wardrobe, Whitney Port shopped for clothes with a gal pal in Downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday (October 23).
The 27-year-old former reality star rocked a Scorpions t-shirt, ripped black jeans, and flats while she carried her haul to her vehicle.
Recently, the former “Hills” cast member caused a bit of controversy when she revealed being perfectly content with losing touch with her castmates.
She told PEOPLE, “I think we all kind of went our separate ways once the show ended. I’m fine with it, like I’m at peace with it. With me, I never feuded with anyone, and nothing ever ended badly, so it just naturally happened that [I lost touch with people].”

Whitney Houston Honored with 2012 Billboard Millennium Award
Being recognized with an emotionally charged salute for her life achievements, the late Whitney Houston was selected as the recipient of the Billboard Millennium Award at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night (May 20).
The “I Will Always Love You” singer – who tragically passed away on February 11th – was honored with a tribute led off by comedian Whoopi Goldberg, who said, “I adored Whitney Houston. What all performers want and need and should get is love, and many of us here loved Whitney, and even if you’re one of those who didn’t show the love to Whitney, now is your chance, because tonight, that’s what we’re doing: We’re going to be giving Whitney the greatest love of all.”
With John Legend performing “Greatest Love of All” followed by Jordin Sparks belting out “I Will Always Love You”, the stage efforts were followed by speeches – as Whitney’s sister-in-law, Pat Houston, said, “This is truly an honor. We thank you, Billboard; we thank you, Whoopi, Jordin; we love you, John. But tonight, the one person that should be accepting this award is the one person that Whitney loved most.”
Pat then passed the spotlight over to Whitney’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina,who kept her message short and sweet while saying, “I just really want to say thank you to everyone who supported us through it all. Thank you so much for showing that much love, ’cause she deserved it. There will never be another one, ever. I thank you so much.”

Bobby Brown: I’m “Not the Reason” Behind Whitney Houston’s Death
In his first interview since his ex-wife’s death, Bobby Brown sat down with the “Today Show’s” host, Matt Lauer to say, “I’m not the reason she’s gone.”
The R&B singer vividly opened up to say that he’s “very much clean and sober from narcotics,” and tells Lauer about the last time he saw Whitney Houston and how he reacted when he found out about her death.
The 54-year-old host confronted Brown about the public’s speculation that he is the reason the late singer’s life took a turn for the worse, and he responds, “It makes me feel terrible.”
“If anyone ever knew us, if anybody ever spent time around us instead of time looking through the bubble, they would know how we felt about each other,” he added. “They would know how happy we were together.”
Lauer asked Brown about the last time he saw Houston, which was about a week before she died, and he said, “she had this glow about her that was just, you know, incredible. I’m saying to myself, you know, ‘She must be … she must be doing really well,’ because she looked really well.”
Adding that he thought she was in a “good place.” The two were married for 15 years and he claims that he was not the one who introduced her to narcotics, saying, “I didn’t get high [on narcotics] before I met Whitney,” Brown said. “I smoked weed, I drank the beer, but no, I wasn’t the one that got Whitney on drugs at all.”
He added that it was painful to see her suffering and eventually lose her life as a result of the drug use.
“I was hurt. I was hurt … because, you know, me being off of narcotics for the last seven years, I felt that she was, you know, I didn’t know she was struggling with it still. But at the same time, you know, listen, it’s a hard fight. It’s a hard fight to, you know, maintain sobriety that way.”
The 43-year-old performer said that based on the last time he saw his ex-wife, it had to be the result of one day of cocaine use, and not a long term effect. “It had to be that one, because that’s all it takes,” Brown said. “One hit, you know … it could definitely take your life away from you. And, unfortunately, that was it.”
The interview is set to air Wednesday on NBC’s “Today.”
