Although there has been speculation that Brown is persona non grata at Saturday’s funeral for Whitney, reportedly due to lingering friction between him and members of the Houston family, a source close to the New Edition singer says that as of now he plans on being there to be with his daughter. Additionally ABC News cites a Houston family insider saying that Brown will not be stopped from going to the invite-only event.

Meanwhile, Brown’s camp is trying to clamp down on inaccurate stories, releasing the following statement: “Any report or statement that does not originate from my office about Bobby Brown or his representatives, is not authorized by Bobby Brown. We are not focused on reports, stories or false reports for that matter.”

The family has tentatively agreed to allow a pool camera inside Newark’s New Hope Baptist Church to beam footage of the event to Houston’s fans in lieu of a massive memorial service as had originally been floated. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has announced that the state’s flag will be flown at half-staff on that day. » Read more: Bobby Brown:”Doing Much Better” as Whitney Houston Funeral Approaches

Fishermen tie ropes around the carcass of a whale shark in a harbor in Karachi, Pakistan, on Feb. 7, 2012. The 40-foot whale shark was said to have been found dead in the Arabian Sea.

Fishermen in the Pakistani port of Karachi got more than they bargained for Tuesday as they reeled in one of the biggest fish in the sea: a whale shark.

The Express Tribune, a Pakistani newspaper, reported that the 40-foot fish was first spotted ten days ago in seas about 150 km (93 miles) from the city. Mehmood Khan, the owner of a local fishery, said the shark was unconscious at that time and other reports said that it was found dead Tuesday.

A large crowd gathered as a succession of cranes were brought in to lift the shark on to the pier. After several hours and a number of failed attempts, the leviathan was finally brought ashore and promptly sold for 1.7m Rupees ($18,750). » Read more: 40-Foot Whale Shark found dead in Karachi (Photo)

The 50-year-old actor and comedian was confirmed as being alive and well, contrary to reports that TMZ claims originated on MediaFetcher.com last night.

Murphy was forced to deny rumours back in 2010 that he had died in a snowboarding accident. The same cause of death was cited in the current hoax.

“Trust me, Eddie is very much alive and well and definitely not in Switzerland snowboarding,” Murphy’s rep told E! News.

Celebrities named in a spate of death hoaxes last year included Kevin Bacon, Charlie Sheen, Jersey Shore cast member Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Jon Bon Jovi.

Ben Gazzara, an intense actor whose long career included playing Brick in the original “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” on Broadway, roles in influential films by John Cassavetes and work with several generations of top Hollywood directors, died on Friday in Manhattan. He was 81. The cause was pancreatic cancer, his lawyer, Jay Julien, said. Mr. Gazzara lived in Manhattan.

Mr. Gazzara studied with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in Manhattan, where the careers of stars like Marlon Brando and Rod Steiger were shaped, and like them he had a visceral presence. It earned him regular work across half a century, not only onstage — his last Broadway appearance was in the revival of “Awake and Sing!” in 2006 — but in dozens of movies and all sorts of television shows, including the starring role in the 1960s series “Run for Your Life.” » Read more: Ben Gazzara died at 81 due to pancreatic cancer
