UPDATE: TMZ reports there will be no public memorial for Whitney Houston. It was previously reported that the 18,000 seat Prudential Center would host the memorial services for the Grammy-Award winning songstress who died suddenly last week. A private funeral is scheduled for Saturday at the New Hope Baptist Church. STORY DEVELOPING.

Original story 2/13/2012: Details are beginning to emerge about Whitney Houston’s funeral. Its being reported that Whitney Houston’s funeral will occur on Friday with a wake on Thursday. The mega superstar singer’s body will be flown back to her hometown of Newark, New Jersey for the homecoming services and burial. The funeral will be held at the Prudential Center in Newark, according to a local community leader with ties to the family. The Prudential Center seats over 18,000.

It seems a bit unrealistic to me that the L.A. Coroner’s office will have wrapped up everything and have Whitney’s body in New Jersey to accommodate a Thursday viewing and Friday funeral but I will be sure to keep you up-to-date on the details….

Houston died on Friday and the circumstances are still being looked into but here’s what we do know. She was found face down in her bathtub in her fourth floor room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. Although no illegal drugs were found, reportedly, lots of prescription medications were around. We may not know an exact cause of death for another few weeks.
