By Liz Smith, June 8, 2004 -- 'WE ARE together. We love each other. I know me and I know the bulls***. They can talk all they want and write all they want. I know the truth."

That was Whitney Houston out in L.A. last week, with hubby Bobby Brown, filming an episode of their upcoming reality series, "Me and Bobby Brown." The controversial pair took in a performance by the burlesque-styled Pussycat Dolls at the Argyle Hotel.

Houston, in a white Dior D'Trick pantsuit, looked gorgeous, with a bit more meat on her bones. She had clear, determined eyes. Whitney and Bobby were enjoying the Pussycats at the invite of another reality show star, Sharon Osbourne, who is no doubt giving the great singer tips on how to make the series "real" but entertaining. (How could it not be entertaining with Bobby and Whitney, neither of whom are reticent emotionally?)

As much as I despise reality shows (aside from the inherent stupidity, there's nothing very "real" about them), I hope this one works out. I have always liked Whitney. When I interviewed the star for Good Housekeeping some years back, she couldn't have been more compelling, charming, real and down-to-earth. I also like that she truly keeps her own counsel; she is a feisty enigma. No matter what we think we know about her, she won't give it up with a lot of self-confession. She's had her problems, but she has guts, too.

I would like to see this star back in the movies. I saw "The Bodyguard" on TV the other night, and was she ever a knockout ?a real presence!
