"the daily beast." alice you, you were at the beverly hilton on saturday. obviously, this is a huge weekend there for the clive davis pre grammy party, a lot of celebrities staying there. what is the scene that you recall the best, the atmosphere as that day was unfolding? >> i guess the atmosphere that i remember the most is just sort of the mayhem of getting ready for clive davis's party and the fact that so many people didn't realize that whitney had died. many people even in the hotel had no clue until the crime van came probably around 4:30. then people began to sort of question and stare out the window and fans started to sort of gather outside of the hotel. but there was a good period of time where people weren't aware that she had passed away and was still actually in the hotel, because they didn't remove her for a very long time. >> allison, you've interviewed whitney houston several times over your career, so tell me about the relationship that you had with her in these interviews in the past. because as i understand it, you have described some of them as disturbing.
