Whitney Houston showed up at the Kirk Franklin/Mary Mary concert Sunday evening at the Atlanta Civic Center. V-103's Miss Sophia spotted the Alpharetta resident when she was escorted in by two bodyguards during the intermission of the show.

"She was just getting her praise on," Sophia said, noting Houston was casually dressed in a black ensemble and fur vest. "I saw a listener ask to take a picture with her. She went out in the aisle and did it and returned to her seat. Nobody really bothered her."

Meanwhile, a few blocks away, an even more star-studded event was happening. Atlanta music and movie producer Dallas Austin threw his first Don't Stop the Music Gala. The annual event will be a fund-raiser for his foundation to raise money for music education. Mayor Shirley Franklin and music industry attorney Joel Katz served as co-chairs. Supermodel Naomi Campbell hosted. And R&B legend Natalie Cole and contemporary gospel singer Yolanda Adams performed. All of whom — and more — are captured in an online gallery at ajc.com.
