Whitney Houston Family Reality Show Titled "Houston Family Chronicles"

A new reality show starring the family of the late Whitney Houston is coming to Lifetime.

The network announced Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina and mother Cissy will be featured in the new reality series. Along with Whitney's daughter and mother, Whitney Houston's sister-in-law and manager Patricia Houston, Pat's daughter Rayah and Whitney's brother Gary will be featured on the tentatively titled, "The Houston Family Chronicles." According to Lifetime, the series will feature the Houston family "as they take on their greatest challenge, supporting and guiding Bobbi Kristina as she faces the world alone, without the one person she relied on the most, her Mother."

"The tragic loss of Whitney Houston left a void in the hearts of people all over the world, but certainly none more so than her beloved family," Rob Sharenow, executive vice president of programming at Lifetime Networks, said in a statement. "In this series, the multi-generations of the Houston family will bravely reveal their lives as they bond together to heal, love, and grow."

Dionne Warwick and CeCe Winans will also appear in the series.

"I have been working with Simmons Shelley over the past few years developing a project suitable for myself and our family," Patricia Houston quoted as saying. "The unexpected passing of Whitney certainly affects the direction of the show. However, it is my hope that others will be enlightened as they watch our family heal and move forward."

Lifetime has ordered 10 hour-long episodes of "The Houston Family Chronicles" to premiere sometime in 2012.

I have to admit that I don't like this at all. They try to make money out of Whitney's death. This is exploitation to the full and from her own family. This is not a way to protect Bobbi Kristina. Quite the contrary...I haven't expected a thing like that from Cissy. The tragic thing is that Whitney's family blamed always Bobby Brown. Just to remind you that when Brown was thinking of publishing a tell-all book about Whitney, Whitney's family was furious! Well, a reality series is more terrible than Bobby Brown's idea to publish a book. Now I understand why Whitney drugged herself to death...Such a shame!
