14, 2004 - CLIVE Davis is working on what
could be his biggest feat yet: cleaning up
Whitney Houston for her "comeback"
next year. Music insiders are buzzing that
Davis was the one who forced Houston into
rehab last month - and when she attempted to
leave after a day, made her re-enter the
facility - and asked her to publicly distance
herself from hubby Bobby Brown, especially
during his court dates.
It
was also Davis who convinced Houston's
longtime publicist, Nancy Seltzer, to return
to the singer's fold after Seltzer quit in
frustration last year. "Clive has a lot
riding on Whitney's comeback," said a
person familiar with the situation. "He
made her. Her last album [with Davis nemesis
and former Arista head L.A. Reid] flopped and
he wants to show everyone he can do
better."
Meanwhile,
Davis has told the newly sober songbird to
stay out of the public eye until next year's
Grammys. "Clive is planning on having
Whitney - if she is still clean and sober and
taking care of herself - be the surprise
musical guest at his party next year." A
rep for Davis swears there's been "no
dialogue" between the mogul and Houston.
Seltzer didn't return calls.
