Drama follows Whitney Houston‘s legacy and family.

Houston’s rumored ex-boyfriend Ray J was in Las Vegas on Sunday for the 2012 Billboard Music Awards and to watch the tribute to Whitney but things went awry shortly after.

Before the show even began, Houston’s sister-in-law and former manager, Pat Houston had uniformed security try to remove Ray J, who was seated behind the family.

Pat was informed that Ray J would not comply but they could forcibly remove him, causing lots of unwanted attention. Pat decided to allow Ray J to stay and avoid the possible ruckus. He was able to witness the Jordin Sparks/John Legend musical number and Bobbi Kristina‘s emotional speech while accepting the Millenium Award for her late mother.

He hosted a launch party at Rio Hotel & Casino for Prince Reigns (a hair-care product he is endorsing) after he left the Billboard Awards and went to his hotel room at the end of the evening.

It was shortly after the ceremony that Ray J’s pals noticed something was wrong with the singer.

Early Monday morning a friend realized he wasn’t coherent and was extremely disoriented. Ray J was taken to a Las Vegas area hospital where he is currently resting and recuperating.

Ray J’s rep says the singer is just overwrought from his very hectic travel and business schedule. He is being treated for “exhaustion and jet lag” and will remain in the care of medical professionals at the hospital.

Turns out, Brandy Norwood‘s little brother was in China just before the Awards and when he landed in the U.S., he drove 4 hours to get to Las Vegas and the Houston tribute and squabble, which all took it’s toll on Ray J.

George Clooney and the absolutely stunning Stacy Keibler walked the red carpet of the 84th Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 26th.

Keibler opted for a gorgeous strapless gold Marchesa Fall 2012 draped gown that made her look like a living Oscar Statue. She kept her look on point with side swept honey-colored hair and minimal accessories all of a golden hue.

Clooney, who was nominated for his role in The Descendants, took part in the opening skit with Oscars’ host Billy Crystal.

Crystal, who “inserts” himself into nominated movies in his opening montage, shared a kiss with Clooney in a nod to George’s film.

The 84th Annual Academy Awards were held in Hollywood at the Kodak Theatre (or as host Billy Crystal quipped – the Chapter 11 Theater) on Sunday night and there were few surprises.

Crystal was his usual affable, likable self; the ratings were up slightly from last year but there were no really big wow moments to the 2012 Oscars.

The biggest winners of the night were Martin Scorsese‘s Hugo and Michel Hazanavicius‘ The Artist – each taking 5 wins, although The Artist won the biggest nods of Best Director, Best Feature and Best Leading Actor among it’s accolades.

The Help star Octavia Spencer had a very sweet moment at the podium when she was genuinely overcome with emotion as she accepted her Best Supporting Actress gold statue.

Chistopher Plummer and Meryl Streep were also very engaging during their thank you speeches and Jean Dujardin shared a moment with Uggie, the Jack Russell terrier of The Artist that has become a fan favorite.

Viola Davis and George Clooney were hot contenders for Best Actress and Actor categories, respectively, but both walked away empty handed.

Among the presenters for the evening: Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Jennifer Lopez, Tom Hanks, Cameron Diaz, Tina Fey, Michael Douglas, Bradley Cooper, Chris Rock, Melissa Leo, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph and Emma Stone.

Below is the full list of winners:  (Read the article)
