Whitney Houston Leaves Fortune to Bobbi Kristina, Nothing to Bobby Brown | Bobbi Kristina Brown, Oprah Winfrey  Whitney Houston's 19-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina, will inherit everything from the late singer's estate, based on instructions in Houston's will. Houston's ex-husband, Bobby Brown, the father of Bobbi Kristina, gets nothing. Houston, who died last month at age 48, left all of her money, property, clothing and personal effects to her only child, according to the document dated and signed in 1993, the year Bobbi Kristina was born. The Grammy winner's money will be placed into a trust, which Bobbi Kristina can partially access when she turns 21. She will be able to access another portion of her inheritance at age 25 and the remainder at age 30. Houston's trustees can also add money to the fund, the will states. Houston's mother, Cissy Houston, is named as executor of the estate in an updated version of the will filed in 2000. Bobbi Kristina is scheduled to be interviewed by Oprah Winfrey on Sunday, although Houston's family is hoping to keep the teen out of the spotlight.
Eva Longoria and Eduardo Cruz Split | Eduardo Cruz, Eva Longoria Following a year of romantic vacationing and double dates, Eva Longoria and Eduardo Cruz have called it quits, a source confirmed. Longoria, 36, and Cruz (Penélope Cruz's younger brother) were first spotted looking cozy last February while watching a flamenco group perform. They began spending time together about a month after Longoria's divorce from Tony Parker was finalized.
Elisabeth Moss Says Ex Fred Armisen Is Not 'Normal' | Elisabeth Moss, Fred Armisen  Elisabeth Moss has something to say about her ex-husband Fred Armisen, and the funnyman might not be smiling at her remarks. "One of the greatest things I heard someone say about him is, 'He's so great doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person.' To me, that sums it up," the Mad Men actress, 29, siad in a recent interview. She adds: "I've never told anyone that. And I don't want to waste any more of my life talking about it." Biting comments indeed, and Moss knows it. "I'm probably gonna get a slap on the wrist," she says. "But I've just been such a good girl. And sometimes you just want to be a bad girl for a minute." Moss and Armisen, 45, met in October 2008 on the Saturday Night Live set when Jon Hamm was hosting. They married a year later but split eight months after that, with Moss citing irreconcilable differences. In any case, there's a more pressing matter: season 5 of Mad Men, which premieres March 25 on AMC. "I am ecstatic with what happens this season," Moss says. "I think the audience is going to be surprised. For me, it was very meaningful with what happens to [my character] Peggy."
