Whitney Houston was apprehensive about working with Akon.

The singer wanted to recapture the sound of her 1999 hit 'My Love Is Your Love', which she worked on with Wyclef Jean, on her new album 'I Look To You', and admits she wasn't comfortable when her label president and mentor Clive Davis suggested she teamed with the 'Lonely' hitmaker.

She said: "When Clive told me I would be working with Akon, I thought, 'Hmm, interesting, um, all right.'

"I wanted the record like 'My Love Is Your Love' with an island feel. I wanted an island record because 'My Love Is Your Love' is so huge and it has its own fashion with Wyclef. I wanted that feeling, but I didn't know who could do that. And Clive came and said, 'Akon is the guy that we're going to work with.' And I was like, 'OK, Akon. OK, I can deal with that.' "

Even after their first meeting, Akon didn't manage to completely quash Whitney's reservations.

She added to MTV news: "I was asking him, 'Did your mother name you Akon?' And he said, 'No, it means a convict.' And I thought, 'Oh, God. OK, all right, I can handle that.' He's a gentleman. He did his work very well. We did it very quickly, very diligently, and I'm very proud of that record. It's a great record."

In contrast, Whitney jumped at the chance to work with Alicia Keys.

She explained: "When she performed at one of Clive's parties the year before last, I kind of looked at her, and it was when she had the 'No One' record out, and it was the only record that came on the radio that inspired me.

"It made me feel good and happy, and I thought, 'God, she's on the label with Daddy - Clive Davis - here.'

"I thought, 'I got to get to know her. I got to have a camaraderie with some of the people that were on the label where I came back home to.' I walked over to her, and off the cuff said, 'Hey, do you think you could produce me?' She said, 'Yeah, I think I can.'

"Then I performed a year after, and she came up with the song 'Million Dollar Bill,' and I said, 'Wow, incredible.' "

CELINE DION is pregnant with an embryo that was frozen for eight years, her fertility doctor has revealed.
The singer has revealed she is expecting her second child with husband Rene Angelil - a little brother or sister for the couple's eight-year-old son Rene-Charles.
And fertility specialist Dr. Zev Rosenwaks has revealed he implanted an embryo in the 41 year old's womb that had been frozen in liquid nitrogen since the in vitro fertilisation that helped her conceive Rene-Charles.
Dr. Rosenwaks tells People.com, "She came back to have the embryos transferred back because she wanted to have another baby."
And when the pregnancy test came back positive, she was thrilled.
The doctor adds, "She was very happy. So was Rene. They are both very thankful.
"She is feeling well. So far, so good. I look forward to hearing the fetal heartbeat. Rene and Celine are both looking forward to pregnancy that is a healthy one."

A reality show about MICHAEL JACKSON's brothers is set to air on U.S. TV next month (Sep09).
Earlier this year (09) U.S. network A&E filmed Jermaine, Jackie, Tito, Marlon and Randy Jackson recording a new album for a documentary that was scheduled to be aired in 2010.
The brothers planned to recruit their superstar sibling to film a reunion performance for the one-hour pilot but they didn't manage to persuade him to participate before his untimely death in June (09).
But producers are going forward with the show, which will air in September (09), and reportedly plan to include a reference to Michael's death at the end of the programme.
Danny O'Donovan, who managed the Jackson brothers since they left Motown in the late 1970s, negotiated the deal with A&E bosses, who hope to air the footage as a series in half-hour or hour-long sessions.
