Bobbi Kristina Brown is grieving the loss of her mother Whitney Houston – but the young aspiring actress didn't walk out on Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse and, in fact, did "great" work, according to the director.
On Wednesday a report surfaced that Bobbi Kristina quit the TBS comedy and walked out of the show because she is dealing with the death of her mom.
But Perry posted an adamant defense of Houston's daughter on his website saying, "Yes she was grieving, but grief aside, she managed to finish her obligation and did a great job at the same time."

It's been a season full of ruthless ambition and emotional chaos on Smash, and Katharine McPhee can't wait to get started on what's next.
"We had such an incredible time on the first season that I can only hope for [season 2] to be as enjoyable as the first," the actress tells PEOPLE. "The show has made some creative changes, so I think there will be some new characters and interesting new storylines."
Smash had some famous guest stars in its debut season, and McPhee has her favorites among them, including Bernadette Peters ("It was amazing to meet her and work with her!") and Uma Thurman ("I love her! She has a really funny and dry sense of humor.").

Hatfields & McCoys: Whose Side Are You On?
Originally posted 05/30/2012 11:00AM
Hatfields & McCoys, the History Channel's epic miniseries starring Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton as the heads of the famous feuding families in the post-Civil War South, comes to an end Wednesday after the trilogy's first installment Monday registered nearly 14 million viewers – a ratings record for cable.
Costner and Paxton play close friends Devil Anse Hatfield and Randall McCoy, whose personal conflict escalated into a decades-long rivalry between their families in Kentucky and West Virginia, and nearly led to war between the two states in the post-war years.
"Costner comes as close to a hero as this piece gets," opined the Los Angeles Times TV critic. "It is a truly brilliant performance, worthy of an Emmy for the pipe-smoking alone."
Meanwhile, The Washington Post said, "Paxton takes full advantage of his juicier role as Randall McCoy, a war camp survivor with a taste for vengeance and hellfire religion."

Kelly Clarkson wants results!
After both her Duets partners, Jordan Meredith and Jason Farol, ended up in the bottom last week, Clarkson is determined to show improvement when the competition returns Thursday (8 p.m. ET) to ABC.
"I'm going to be really blunt with you," Clarkson says in a clip of the upcoming episode. "I think everybody else has way more experience. And it shows because when they're out on stage they're into it and they're not nervous."
As part of her strategy, she's switching up the song style for Jordan, who performed Clarkson's hit "Stronger" in the premiere.

Emily Maynard Blogs: Meeting Dolly Parton and Confronting a Vampire Detector

Hey, everyone! I can honestly say that this episode had some of my very favorite dates!
I've lived in Charlotte for a long time, but I never in a million years imagined I'd be climbing the wall of a museum that Ricki and I go to often. Judging by Chris's face when the ropes came down the side of the building, I think he would've rather been at my house carrying in all my groceries like Ryan did last week!
As scary as it was climbing up the side of the building, the fact that there was a huge storm heading our way made it that much worse. Not only was I scared of falling, but also of getting struck by lightening!

He may have limited some of her songwriting subjects – especially those angry, brokenhearted ones – but Kelly Clarkson says her boyfriend has fueled her desire to work out.
"I would love to say that it had something to do with my work, but it doesn't," Clarkson, 30, whose new singing competition Duets premieres Thursday, told reporters during a conference call. "I have a boyfriend, and if I'm being completely honest, no one likes to be not toned when you are dating someone."
Having revved up her workout routine and by restricting her diet, Clarkson says the pounds have come off.
"I'm eating better and working out, but I've always fluctuated within 20 lbs.," she adds. "My whole life I've been like that."
