Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills, Calif., police say detectives are investigating after pop icon Whitney Houston died in her room on the fourth floor of the Beverly Hilton.

Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen told reporters outside the Beverly Hilton that Houston was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. in her room on the fourth floor of the hotel. Her body remained there and Beverly Hills detectives were investigating.

“There were no obvious signs of any criminal intent at this time,” Rosen said.

Houston’s publicist, Kristen Foster, said Saturday that the cause of her death is unknown.

Rosen said police received a 911 call from hotel security about Houston at 3:43 p.m. Saturday. Paramedics who were already at the hotel because of a Grammy party unsuccessfully tried to resuscitate the singer, he said.

Beverly Hills Police Department later issued a statement:””Whitney Houston was pronounced dead at the scene by members of her entourage which included friends, co-workers, and family. Ms. Houston’s daughter and mother were notified of here death.”

The statement also added that “the investigation is currently being conducted” and that “there is no additional information at this time.”

“The actual cause of death will be determined by the L.A. Co. Coroner’s Office,” it said.

Houston’s death came on the eve of music’s biggest night — the Grammy Awards. It’s a showcase where she once reigned, and her death is sure to case a heavy pall on Sunday’s ceremony.

90210 Day

90210 Day, Day 90 210 is, in some ways, the perfect party Internet. Bored Gen-Xers can surreptitiously surf nostalgic clips of Beverly Hills 90210 in their cubicles, while Gen Y may wake of his futon, laugh in the early 90s fashion and pretend that they were old enough to see the show when it originally aired.

But the city of Beverly Hills is its irony and raises a dose of sincerity. The leafy suburb of Los Angeles is using the date “09/02/1910 celebrate the Day”, an event completely undisturbed where guests can sip wine and mingle with the mayor of the city. Later in the evening, the “Beverly Hills Celebration will feature performances by singer Natasha Bedingfield – an artist curiously associated with a different soap adolescents who are in the metropolitan Los Angeles.

Neither case makes mention of Beverly Hills 90210, which ran on FOX from 1990 to 2000, not the unloved CW remake. Does this mean that the city feels ashamed of his heritage? After all, doubts NewsFeed snub Bel-Air Will Smith
