MUHAMMAD ALI'S 2008 CELEBRITY FIGHT NIGHT
Whitney Houston reunited with her cousin Dionne Warwick and her "The Bodyguard" co-star Kevin Costner at Muhammad Ali's celebrity fight night XIV.
Also at the event were Jordin Sparks, Holly Robinson Peete, Shaq and his wife Shaunie O'Neal.
Throughout Celebrity Fight Night's thirteen year history over $45 million has been raised with the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center at Barrow Neurological Institute as the primary beneficiary. [CELEBRITYFIGHTNIGHT.ORG]Great to see the celebs supporting a good cause...
Speaking of which, Dionne spoke about her
Whitney Houston is back! I’m thrilled that she’s in the studio and working on her new album…No doubt she’s overcoming everything that has been put in front of her even this week. [PEOPLE.COM]Nice!
*Thanks Sandy!

Ruutmo, I'm looking online and so far here's what I found.
According to this link,
Warrick's aunt Emily (Cissy) Drinkard Houston.
So Dionne is Whitney's mother's aunt.
Here's anoter tidbit via this link:
Houston's sister, Lee (who would later become the mother of singers Dee Dee and Dionne Warwick)
So Dionne is Cissy's sister's daughter.
I can't wait to see if Whitney really can do this. I sure hope she can. I want some seriously great work from her again. If MiMi can do it after her breakdown, Whitney can come back after 'smack'.
