Not surprising. She was always a big supporter and friend. Just add her name to the coveted list of celebrities who will be on hand for the diva's final farewell.
Oprah Winfrey has been confirmed as one of the star invited to attend Whitney Houston's funeral on Saturday. As the family is being extremely selective of which of Whitney's friend to invite, it seems like quite an honor for Big O to be considered.
Then again, she is Oprah Winfrey.
That brings the celebrity section of the service up to four, with Kevin Costner, Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin also expected to participate in the funeral services.
It should be a difficult thing to watch over the weekend, but we can't imagine what it will be like in that church. The grief will just be palpable.
