Tyler Perry, who spoke movingly at Whitney Houston's funeral, has given Whitney's daughter Bobbi Kristina a recurring role on one of his TV series...
For Better or For Worse was recently picked up for a second season on TBS [click here if you missed that] and Bobbi Kristina has joined the cast.
From Straight from the A,
Tasha Smith’s character owns a beauty salon on the series and Bobbi Kristina will be featured in a recurring role as the daughter of one of the stylists in the her shop.
The up and coming actress has been spotted coming and going from Tyler Perry’s Atlanta Studios for a few weeks now and my spies say that her play brother/boo Nick Gordon is always right by her side.
Pat Houston has also been spotted at the facility, but I would guess it was to negotiate Bobbi’s contract to appear on the show.
The new season of For Better or For Worse begins July 2012.
And in case you missed it Tyler Perry speaking at Whitney Houston's funeral.

Well that's good, it will her busy. When u have to much time on ur hands, u do and say stupid things.
She don't need no DAMN JOB!!! What she needs is a REHAB Facility!!! Can Tyler help her with that??? Bobbi Kris please get your life in order and then do some other things, like be an adult who is clean and sober. I'm just saying!!!
What she gonna play Toto in a remake of the Wiz?
That’s a Funny Looking Girl,,,I’m Sorrrry.
Oh great another hand out! I'm sure there is a poor struggling actress out there trying to make it and is far more qualified . I won't be watching that show.
give the girl a break; she got a job and she just lost the most important person in any of our lives -- HER MOTHER--. How would you be just losing your mother???
I wish the ages of the posters could be posted . . . just so I could know that it's really 8 year olds posting this meanness
awww he tryna keep her sober and take her under his wing....GO FOR IT TYLER!

She really is a rather unfortunate-looking girl.
I hate to add to 2:43 and 2:52 because its kinda mean but shiiiiIIDD throw dat bytch a nose job in there too..smh

This phoney bastard hired her for ratings, not because his heart is so full of compassion. He's just like Oprah his best friend forever. Why do people keep handing shit to this spoiled girl on a platter, instead of trying to help her w/her addiction among other things. I was reading that her and her mother often got high together. Her mom treated her more like a buddy, but even with his faults, Bobby Brown tried to discipline her & be a father to her. This is why she does not show love to her dad & liked living with her mom. She could get away with stuff. I'm starting to believe this, because it doesn't appear that any of Bobby's other kids have problems like her. jmo
You guys are harsh, but......she doesn't look like the cutie who said "sing mommy" on Your Love is My Love.
Did anybody else hear that Whitney used to call her mom?....OR did "I" hear it wrong...cuz i could have nie...don't come for me...lol

I don't see Whitney no where in Bobbi Kristina. I know most girls look like there Father but DAMN.. with that being said she is still a cute young lady and I am glad Tyler is giving her an opportunity.
and if your black kill yourself now!!!

damn all i said was throw a nose job in, shyt it looks too much like Bobby's matter fact her whole damn nose and mouth look like Bobby's and with Whitney's eyes on top of it....smh #IJS #DamnDawg
LMAO!!!!
@2:31 PM: Co-sign.
Isn't she worth something like $20M.
But like 2:57 PM said, that's a ratings ploy.
Nothing else.
Real Black actors and actresses who put in major work to hone their craft are being pushed aside for folks with no real acting chops or experience, just a last name that rings bells.
Sad.
Her role will include fucking a relative.
He really wants people to watch this show. This is for ratings only. This will hurt more than help her in the long run.
@3:05 um not only white people have straight noses I know of plenty of Africans who do including myself.
Who encourages someone to get a nose job? if she like how she looks who cares what you all think about it?
^ likes*
Congratulations!
Good... now Tyler Perry can do a remake of "The Color Purple"...

Listen you fancy ass house kneegroid with your straight nose, staight hair and fancy green eyes. I can't take you seriously, your energy is too much of the typical enslaved afrikan mind with your "uppity kneegroid progressive" fuckeries. please take the white hanky from your lapel with the nice gold stick pin, and whipe the bullshit from your lips, nigga ain't nobody over here impressed with your almost cacauzoid features you covet so much, kill that noise!!
I actually forgot this post was about Bobbi Kris and her new job, after hearing Tyler speak at Whitney's funeral. Very comforting words he gave to her family.

Bobbi Kristina is beautiful! Yall are crazy...
@5:29 First time i've ever agreed with you.
Soho sounds psychologically disturbed. She obviously types most of her bs for effect/affect to get a rise out of people. She seeks attention so badly that even negative attention will do. We can only pity her.
@ 5:29 excuse me? Your comment made is sound like straight noses are synonymous with white people when there are plenty of Africans who are non-white that have straight noses. I didn't say I have a straight nose to brag I said it to illustrate the point. I don't know what you speak off so I will chock of to a poor misunderstanding on your part.
@ 5:51
Lol and you obtain your PHD in psychology and neuroscience from where? Yes exactly you are in no position to psycho analyze anyone no less on a open public forum in which opinions are welcomed.
^ made it sound *
You know, Tyler Perry has been a complete class act throughout the WH tragedy and I commend him for it.
-- dee truth
She needs rehab instead of a job, I just hope she doesn't keep the drugs going like her parents please break the cycle.
Oh well, if she's good at yelling and looking mean, then it may be a match. Judging from the few episodes aired last year, that's all people did on that show.
Thank you, Tyler! And educate her.
If she is truly an addit it will come out during the tapings on this sitcome, Im sure Tyler will step in and get this girl needed help and Im hoping this really not the case!!!
I meant to day addict...
Tyler ain't her daddy. Bobby and K need to go to family therapy and get their shit together. HE is the only parent that she has, they need to stick together.
@7:55 WHAT DOES TP SUPPOSE TO BE ABLE TO EDUCATE ABOUT! THE PROPER WAY TO SUCK DICK!
@7:59 THIS GIRL BEEN USING HARD DRUGS (COCAINE) THAT WE (THE PUBLIC) KNOW OF SINCE HIGH SCHOOL AGE AND HOW ARE YOU SO SURE TP IS GOING TO DO THE THINGS YOU'VE STATING!
Its hard for me to believe that alot of these posters are black. I would really need proof. This girl just lost her mother. That was so thoughtful of Tyler. .
Tyler be looking out for the sisters when he isn't throwing shade. Good for him on giving Bobbi Christina a job.
BTW folks, this is why it's important for us to have "something", we can look out for each other in times of need.
These ugly posts are just unbelievable and shameful!
A girl who has just come of age has recently lost her mother. Whatever her problems, however many gaps she has in her teeth or whatever, she is a human being first and foremost. She is a daughter.
We as Black folks always talk about how we don't help our own. Now you have two people who stepped to the plate but this is a BAD thing?
Whether you like Oprah or Tyler or not, they seem to be making it possible for this girl to support herself. They may have an inkling that Whitney's finances were in shambles and there is nothing for the child to live on unless she gets work. Don't think that Ray Ray and nem aren't plotting to make a profit off her.
OW & TP surely know that BK needs some structure and stability that a job would give her.
Ok, here we have Oprah who let Bobbi K have her say FOR REAL. BK was left with her dignity in tact.
How do you think Diane Sawyer or Baba WaWa would have treated this girl? You and I know that each would have been harping on how much coke she saw her Mom snorting and the fights between her parents that she witness, BK would have been a wreck for life if these hyenas had gotten a hold of her.
No stan for either OW or TP, but they stepped up for that girl.
Will they benefit in ratings, hell yes, but so what? I don't begrudge someone profiting if they are profiting me, hell I believe in everybody getting something out of the deal.
@7:29 (5:51 here) Doesn't take a PhD to see you for the desperate & disturbed attention whore that you are, Slowhoe.
Some things are just obvious, especially you.
@That Old Broad: Sounds to me like you're mainly concerned with her fiscal well being. I'm more concerned with her physical, spiritual and mental well being.
TP and OW may have put some(more) dollars in her pocketbook but I haven't heard where either of them have tried to yank her off that road she's heading down.
Have you?
I'd rather see Bobbi K. broke and healthy than rich and dead.
But that's just me.
^^^
Black folks no longer need to equate being poor with health and spirituality nor rich with evil or death. That's just some bull that rich people gave us to keep us poor and complacent.
BK can have both if she wants and seeks it.
Being broke don't have shit to do with being healthy. Try taking your broke ass to rehab, or try healing yourself of your addictions, health issues and/or emotional issues and see how far that gets you with no resources.
Oprah is an admitted ex-coke fiend of some 30 or so years ago. I have heard NOTHING about any drug use on her part since then, and if she's still a drug addict we would have heard about it by now.
Wouldn't you think that a clean and sober former user who rose above her of circumstances of family abuse and self-destructive behavior would be an EXCELLENT source of physical, spiritual and mental advice for a young girl who has suffered and is still suffering? Well- being is theme of OWs shows, the little of them that I have watched.
TP also rose above his family circumstances as well. I can't stand his sitcom and I don't necessarily see his movie themes as the earthshattering, that theme of a religious grounding in forgivenss (mental freedom) has clearly worked for him and may work for others.
As I said, I am no stan of either, but if anyone can help BK, why not these two? Neither would suffer if they did not make money off of BK, they will still be kazillionaires with or without BK.
How many other people in BK's life can we say that NEED her in order to give them jobs pay their bills since Whitney is not around to do it anymore, including HER BLOOD KIN.
How many people are waiting to use that girl for a come up with no regard to her mind, body and sould because they see a gold mine they would otherwise never have.
@9:27pm
ITA! I also remember how OW offered Fantasia a great professional (and personal) opportunity in The Color Purple.
--dee truth
my bad, I meant to type 9:47pm :)
damn a girl can't win. people dissing her looks. breaking her face down feature by feature. yall calling her ugly, but if she got a nose job, then yall would be calling her a sell out and talking about how she hates her blackness and she's conforming to the white standard of beauty. leave her alone. all she did was be born. she didn't ask for the spotlight. and let's keep in mind that she's mourning the loss of he mother and she's struggling with addiction. it's real easy to be a bully sitting behind a computer. damn, whatever happened to kindness?
Good looking out Tyler.
I like her. She looks like both her parents. I think its good that she won't fix her nose or gap. She got them both from Bobby. She has gorgeous, shining skin like Whitney used to back in the day. I like reading the mean stuff as well as the next person, but I've got nothing to say negative. I'm pulling for this girl. There are many more people for her than against.
@That Old Broad
I SEE What You're SAYING but the "Lesser of TWO EVILS" Scenario does NOTHING for me becuz I Can't & Will NEVER Get past Both Oprah and Tyler Fairy BEING Piece-of-SHYT Coon SELLOUT Niggas... And THAT Resonates with me FAR MORE than any kind of Self-Promotion Public Persona GOOD they do which is Miniscule compared to the ALL-OUT YT Agenda STUFF they do to EARN THEIR FORTUNES !!!
I RESPECT Your Opinion Though but Those TWO Clown-Azz FOOLZ will Never EVER get MY RESPECT Though (WORD)
Too be honest this girl needs Rehab and out of the spotlight!
Just getting a snippet of the comments of folks bashing her looks...thanks to Bobby Brown dominate genes.--- this girl is going to get clowned and basically is not going to be able to deal with the harsh comments towards her looks nor people trying to compare her to her mother and her mom's talent. Whitney Houston is a hard shadow to follow and the pressure to be like her mom or even resemble her talent and youthful beauty is enough to push Bobbi Kris to drugs.
Bad move Tyler..... I think it is best to put this girl in rehab and get her in college to learn something outside the entertainment business.
@That Old Broad:
Your entire rebuttal is peppered with money worries.
As I said: 'I'd rather see Bobbi K. broke and healthy than rich and dead'.
You never heard me wish poverty on this child.
Her mother had all the money she could handle and where did it get her?
Michael Jackson had more money than some small countries and where did it get him?
More money equates to access to more deviltry and more demons in her surroundings.
I'm sure I don't need to expound on that.
When and where have TP or OW offered her the king of help she REALLY needs?
^kind of...
@The Real Fedup @Jazz
TOTALLY AGREE with Y'all Though !!!
Bad move Tyler..... I think it is best to put this girl in rehab and get her in college to learn something outside the entertainment business.

Rehab would be nice, but no one can force her into that. But he may be able to influence her to do it when she is ready.
Anyone who has a HOPE in trying to nudge her towards help will have to build and maintain a trusting relationship with her.
Perhaps this is what OW and TP are working towards, I don't know, but what I do know is that neither can help her without a having a significant relationship with her.
@That Old Broad:
Your entire rebuttal is peppered with money worries.
^^^
Well, given the fact that she is a motherless child at age 19 who was VERY dependant on her mother and that she has a father who is still a drunk with children he has not financially supported, I would say that keeping a roof over her head and finding a way to support herself would be of significance, but maybe you think she can just move into a Section 8 house and live the life.
"...and where have TP or OW offered her the king of help she REALLY needs? "
Do you know exactly ALL of the help that they have offered her, maybe you are privvy to their private conversations. Please share.

She is not the only 19 year old black girl without a mother, what makes her important?
for starters, unlike most 19 year olds, every private personal or family isn't reported in the press.
Remember, BK didn't choose her celebrity. Her parents were/are entertainers.
-- dee truth
66...every private personal or family MOMENT ;)
@That Old Broad:
Daughter of pop music legend Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina, is set to inherit $20 million from her mother’s estate following Whitney’s sudden death a month ago.
According to TMZ, Whitney left all of her worldly possessions – including furnishings, clothing, personal effects, jewelry and cars – to all of her children. Since Bobbi Kristina is Houston’s only biological child, everything belongs to her.
As per documents signed by Houston a month before Bobbi Kristina was born in 1993, Bobbi Kristina’s $20 million inheritance will be placed in a trust where she will be able to access a portion of the money when she turns 21. (She'18yo now.)
She will receive another lump sum at 25 and the remaining money once she hits 30.
With the return of Houston’s music to the pop charts, that $20 million is sure to balloon into something heftier than that.
***
The last thing Bobbi K. has to worry about right now is Section 8 housing.
Feel Me?
Her mother may be gone but she still has a lot of family around. The same family that's caring for her right now.
Regarding Tyler and Oprah, I only know what I read and I haven't read anything to indicate that either of them have done anything to help her with her demons.
^^^
So, what about the rumored HUMUNGOUS debt that Whitney supposedly has, you know, following that $100 million advance for albums she never released?
The truth of the matter is you and I really don't know the state of financial affairs of Houston. To assume that this child is set for life is a bit hasty.
A decedant's estate is ususually probrated and debts are paid before heirs see a dime unless the laws have changed.
I wouldn't think that things have been totally settle just yet.
^^^
Probated.
WHEN MY FATHER WAS ALIVE WE WOULD GO TO MD OR PHILLY TO SEE TYLER'S PLAY'S MY DAD PASSED ON 4-11-11 AND I MISS HIM EVERYDAY.LOVE YOUR BABY GIRL
