The voice floats confidently but quietly in the first few lines of Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You," the song for which the superstar vocalist, who died Saturday of unknown causes at the Beverly Hilton Hotel,will always be remembered.

On a commentary track included on <span class="italic">The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 </span>Blu-ray (Summit Entertainment, $34; also on DVD, $30; in stores Saturday), director Bill Condon addresses the disproportionate hatred the films inspire in some critics. “This series is about things women care about and has a woman at the center,” he says. “So there are people who just stay outside of it and mock it.”

Pinecrest Gardens’ second annual Big Gig is accepting applications from children who are interested in free mentorship and training in theater, dance, music and visual arts.

No artist owned 2011 quite like Adele, and she’s poised to sweep the major awards at the Grammys on Sunday night. If she does, she would become the first performer since the Dixie Chicks in 2007 to win awards for album, song and record of the year.

Will Reggie Bush be Kim Kardashian’s Valentine? The exes are looking pretty chummy lately, according to numerous spies in Los Angeles, who saw them getting together for lunch at the Beverly Hills Hilton, the site of Whitney Houston’s death. How macabre.

For little Blue Ivy, only the best will do. <span class="bold">Beyonc</span>é and <span class="bold"> Jay-Z</span>’s offspring is getting spoiled rotten by the power couple’s closest friends. <span class="bold">Gywneth Paltrow</span> Tweeted that she gave the babe the much-coveted Bugaboo Cameleon stroller. Price tag: Oh, just $979. Let’s hope first steps don’t come too soon. FYI: Beyoncé sang the 1999 song “Bug-a-Boo’’ with Destiny’s Child, but it had to do with an annoying suitor, not motherhood. As for Blue, her parents began the process to trademark her name for a line of future baby products. To go to her college fund, we’re sure.

For an 85-year-old — or even a 30-year-old for that matter — <span class="bold">Tony Bennett </span>is impressive, to say the least. He’ll be making the rounds soon, first with two shows at the Hard Rock March 16-17, and then on March 19, the 17-time Grammy winner is hosting his first annual Tony Bennett All-Star Tennis Event and Benefit Gala. The two-part event kicks off with a tennis tourney at The Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center at <span class="bold">The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne </span>where tennis enthusiasts will have the opportunity to test their skills against players including <span class="bold">Novak Djokovic, </span> <span class="bold">Kim Clijsters </span>and <span class="bold">Ryan Harrison. </span>Before the love matches, Bennett will perform <span class="italic">God Bless America</span>.

Whitney Houston was underwater and apparently unconscious when she was pulled from a Beverly Hills hotel bathtub, and she had prescription drugs in her room, officials said Monday as the regal pop star's family made arrangements to fly her body home to New Jersey for a funeral at the end of the week.

Just what Miami needs: another burger place. But why not? You can never have too much of a tasty thing, even if you’d get in trouble with Mom for saying its name. Damn Good Burger (DGB for short and sweet) is the latest entry into the ground beef fray and, like most places, is trying to keep ahead of the competition.

I am afraid that Havana 1957 is best known for its overpriced mojitos and sunburned tourists. If you want to stay on South Beach, you can go classic grunge with the iconic <span class="bold">Puerto Sagua</span> (700 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-673-1115) or, a few blocks away, the recently renovated <span class="bold">David’s Cafe</span> (1058 Collins Ave.; 305-534-8736, www.davidscafe.com), which also has a location just off Lincoln Road. Either would work for affordable, authentic and delicious Cuban basics. My favorite dish is rope vieja (“old clothes”), a great shredded beef stew. Both have beer and wine and menus in English.

When founders of a string quartet name their ensemble after a surrealist painter, they are telling the world not to expect the usual sounds of the chamber music salon. The Miró String Quartet lived up to its name Sunday in a concert at the University of Miami’s Gusman Hall that went deeply into the works on the program, with sounds that weren’t always pretty but were thought out, authoritative and technically almost flawless. Read the review here:

The New World Symphony served a bracing menu of chamber music Sunday afternoon at the New World Center, offering rarely heard Schumann and French exotica by Andre Jolivet as prelude to the program’s main course—a visionary multimedia presentation of Arnold Schoenberg’s path-breaking Expressionistic monodrama <span class="italic">Pierrot lunaire</span>.

Showtime network is expected to announce that the Marlins will be featured in the second season of ‘The Franchise.’

The movie, about a hockey phenom (with Olivia Newton-John as his mother), was very Canada-centric, according to several reports from up north. So it was shown in theaters in Canada, where it reportedly did not do well — although its Facebook page has comments from some fervent fans. And it has been released on DVD; you can find it for sale at Amazon.com’s Canadian branch, www.amazon.ca.Q. I haven’t seen Pat Buchanan, a regular on MSNBC, for some time. What has become of him?

Desolate landscapes — inner and outer — form the backdrop

Forgive me for being cynical, but I have a hard time believing that the White House and Michelle Obama are really upset by the portrayal of the first lady that emerges in Jodi Kantor’s new look at the president’s marital union. In the annals of irregularities that first ladies have been justly or unjustly accused of, sparring with a chief of staff — particularly one as combative as Rahm Emanuel — hardly registers as shocking or unexpected.

Last fall, the Library of America released two volumes featuring authors who wrote during the Harlem Renaissance, that vague early 20th century era when black novelists, artists, poets, musicians, essayists and even publishers pushed black culture to the forefront.

After publishing <span class="italic">Postwar</span>, his sweeping history of Europe since 1945, Tony Judt prepared to write an equally ambitious intellectual and cultural history of 20th-century social thought.

In his new novel, Lightman again explores the creative scientific mind, here via the grandest of narratives — the creation of our universe from spur of the moment start to bittersweet end.
