Terry McMillan is unsure how to proceed with the Waiting to Exhale sequel in the wake of Whitney Houston's death, but says the studio has made it clear they want to proceed...
Terry tells The Huffington Post
“Myself and [screenwriter] Lori Lakin Hutcherson wrote drafts for the film and then Whitney passed away and so now the studio is trying to take a moment to think about how best to proceed. They’ve made it crystal clear that they want to proceed, but it’s just a matter of how. I have mixed feelings about which way might be best to tell the story."
"I feel terrible about Whitney, just like everybody else, but there’s a part of me that also feels that she would want the film to go on. That’s just my gut feeling. And it has nothing to do with me not having an allegiance to her or respect for her. I just have a feeling that Whitney would love from Heaven, to sit up there and watch who else can do the character.”

Love her hair! Peace to you Whitney baby.
First...Terry looks nice....I would watch the Movie without Nippy. May she RIP !!!
Terry McMillan is truly one crazy BITCH!!! She is all about the money. The first waiting to exhale was not good at all, so who in the hell asked for a part two? Even if Whitney was still alive Terry would not have put her in the movie. I'm Just Saying!!!
Ole’ Marrying a Faggot, Rough around the edges author. I mean, how you Marry that fruit cake. His eyebrows were 10x more shaped up than Hers!!?? That motherfucker spoke like a Soprano in the Vienna Boys Choir. GTFOHWTBS
BWAHHHHHH @ AnRnBThug, yassssss, she married right up my alley and I betcha he was catty, messy, combative, and some mo shit..das' how we get when we fight against our true feelinz
das' why shes miserable right now lol, she never been loved by a heterosexual BWAHHH!!!
how about a sequal to "stella's groove" where stella 's boyfriend turns out to be gay?
I think her hair looks nice too. As far as the sequel....I wouldn't hold my breath everyone knows sequels aren't as good as the orginals.
Miss Terry, Beyonce said she'll do it. She'll play Whitney's role.
But what does Terry's ex-husband have to do with this movie sequel? Folks always venture off into the wrong shit.
Lmao @ Rnb & Hoodrat
@2:23 - Awdamn, that's cold..

You sound like you're jealous because Terry had Jonathan first. It's all right you can have Terry's left overs. After Jonathan done with your ass you won't be able to speak.
Why does Bee Gee find it funny to laugh at the comments of two homosexuals?
Just proceed with another actress to cast. She act like the original character was really Whitney Houston and not Savannah Jackson.
Just get Gabrielle Union, Taraji P. Henson, Maya from Girlfriends or Keri Washington.
sheesh.
Isn't Terry's ex-hubby dating Al Reynolds?
Whitney killed her self with drugs if all types. Therefore the movie should go on ad planned .there are plenty of talented black undiscovered actresses looking for work. Rip Whitney and I think if she could have done her life over she would have saught inpatient treatment for them drugs .
Ppl please always so no to drugs. It's is a waste.
2:33 - Why are you always 2 or 3 comments behind a nigga? Funny is funny just like trollin' is trollin'...Troll
@2:33pm
I can answer that it's because he is a homosexual. Hoodrat described him to a tee catty, combative, messy.
Bee Gee is gay? But I thought he had a "lady" getting her Master's? I just find it odd how he always co-signs RnB and Hoodrat. I also find it out that a grown Black man lives on a female gossip blog.
@2:18 - Whitney had already signed on to do the movie along with all the rest of the originals, including Forrest Whitaker as producer. i think Vivica is a good choice for the replacement.

@2:45 - Booga I know it's been hard since I disowned you and Snitch ran an intervention on thatass and exposed you as RWS' habitual self-cosigner, but try to stop having conversations with yourself on this post, ok? I know you want everyone to think thatchu are several people, but it just isn't workin'..
Don't do this to yaself - it's not healthy - you have to start somewhere and today can be a victory for you if you just close the beegee pic folder and move away from the keyboard. You can do this..
2:51 I didn't see anywhere that says Whitney had signed. Terry said that she and Lori had written the draft. Still Terry was going to go on even if Whitney was still alive. I'm Just Saying!!!
if I had almost 20 years to make a sequel I woulda had gotdamn Meryl Streep playing Whitney in the flick as long as the Titanic by now...
It will titled "Black Men Ain't Shit But White Women Loving, Black Women Hating, Baby Making, Closet Homo (Like My Ex Husband), I'm So Angry I Need To Exhale"
all these homo trolls on this site makes it
uncomfortable to visit...anyway,she's a writer ,if she gave a damn she would kill Whitney off in the story..but watch they recast the part to somebody else..all this woe is me mess is just her trying to drum up some publicity off Nippy's name. I mean they called off the Loretta Devine character in the book so whats so hard with making Loretta live and boring ass Nippy die. Not hard at all. I liked Loretta Devine's character in the movie and book anyway. Nippy's character was way too
erratic.
make her death socially conscious and reflective of her life and death and worthy of her role
No hate, but she got work done.
Damn the movie will not be the same without Whitney.
Bee-Geena, shut up clown. How's ya Mom's basement? Still sitting at your Acer computer, eating old tim-bits from Tim Horton's? You're amazing. You've been on unemployment benefits since what, 1987? #Loser
^ Yawn. Whatever your psychotic dreams of me are, yo crazy ass loves some beegee til the day Kinkos bans you from using their computers, dontchu..
Bee-Geena, I'm not a Kinkos, lmfao! I'm at home in Pasadena, hello. Anywho, stop trying to divert attention away from your ass.
I just want Bee Gee to confess having a thing for Koreah. He held her down until the end. He got his feelings hurt and tried to blast her publicly, but I know he liked her lil chink ass.
Bee Gee and I were great friends. We exchanged general e-mails and he was cool. However, like I told him, he needs an e-audience to validate him online and he believes his own self-imposed hype.
thats not the real koreah. the real koreah has a profile. this blog is lame 4 all of this impostor shit, c'mon snitch
Awdamn, somebody get the straitjacket and the tranquilizer gun..
What's going on in here? LOL! Bee Gee?
Bee Gee again! What did he do someone please explain.
Gurl let me get my wig!!
*two-steps Shoop Shoop*
Even if Whitney was still alive Terry would not have put her in the movie. I'm Just Saying!!!
-------------------------
Terry M. came to STL over about two years ago to promote Getting Back to Happy. She talked about the book becoming a movie and how everyone had signed up for it but Whitney. She even asked the audience to pray for Whitney, that she get it together, because everybody wanted her to come back.
Co-sign, although I'm a huge fan, I see her as being bat shit crazy at times too. She was rather mean to certain comments. Then again, she'd just flown in from doing Oprah w/ a reunion show with her ex. Guess she was emotionally spent (who wouldn't be?)

Sweetie, try reading a book before you critique it.
That's how rumors get started.

Sweetie, go read this book, then critique it. Your facts are ALL mixed up.
^^^Oops, thought the first response was erased. Don't mean to be redundant. lol
They can't kill Savanah off. There is actually a book that the script follows. The characters are in their 50's now, so some of these younger actresses won't work. Viveca is too plastic and botoxed now and has too many straight to DVD movies under her belt now.
Ugh! this post is not about BeeGee!
Respect Savannah Jackson! I got bronchitis.

I'm trying to figure out when this became a female blog or better yet when did any blog that didn't talk about lipstick and babies become gender specific. Someone explain.
Whitney should not have been in the film in the first place. Whitney's role should have went to Angela Bassett and Angie's role should have went to Vanessa Williams. That was the original plan until Whitney decided she wanted to act. I'm sorry Whitney died, but I'm glad she's not in the sequel. Acting was not Whitney's strong point.
all i know is...when terry talks, it makes my skin crawl...she sounds like she has chicken skin in her tonsils...ijs
Whit was a great character, but she is not replaceable, like none of us. There is always someone out there who can do justice to a role. Whit would want that to happen for her namesake to carry on to the next one! God is good.
Damn, I had too many beers. Whit is replaceable like all of us! lol!
bee gee come oudyt the closet already . u r gay and its 'anal sex’ painfully obvious
I <3 Bee Gee.
Every damn post the same anonymous poster sits there twiddling his (yes HIS) thumbs waiting to pop shit about Bee Gee. What are you trying to do? Make people dislike him? Guess what? This is a blog, no one gives a fuck about anyone on here for real. STFU and get a life. Even if he was a homosexual (which I don't think he is) SO WHAT?
Go sit yo messy ass down somewhere.

Actually, Terri wanted Angela to play Savannah. However, she refused to be a part of it if she couldn't play Bernadine (Bernadette? Whomever.

Very true, someone suggested maybe Vanessa Williams who was asked the first go around. She would make an excellent replacement. Will Welsy be in this pic?
@2:18pm
Thank you.Who the hell wants to see a sequel to that garbage.
The sequel book was horrible!
Maybe she can have Savannah's character pass away or something. I'm not trying to be morbid I'm just saying...
