Popsugar Entertainment Twitter Reactions Did Whitney Houston Produce The Princess Diaries? Fans Are Freaking Out Over This Little-Known Fact About the Princess Diaries 11 July 2018 by Mekishana Pierre Image Source: Everett Collection If you're above the age of 20, then chances are not only have you seen The Princess Diaries, but you also deeply identity with Mia Thermopolis on a level that no one but your therapist understands. You probably also think you know everything about the movie that shaped a generation and pushed Anne Hathaway into stardom. Well, apparently The Princess Diaries can still surprise us, as people were thoroughly shocked to learn that late legend Whitney Houston was a producer for the 2001 film. Yes that's right, Whitney Houston had a hand in bringing the royal family of Genovia back together. Netflix, which recently made The Princess Diaries available for streaming, started the whole business with a tweet on Monday morning. "Excuse me, but I have to call everyone I've ever met and yell at them for not telling me Whitney Houston produced The Princess Diaries," the streaming service tweeted with a screenshot of Houston's producing credit as proof. Some people were shook to their very core. How could they have missed out on that fact after watching the movie about 1,000 times? Others weren't so surprised, in fact they took the time to enlighten people on the fact that Houston also produced several other well-known projects, including the 1997 classic TV film Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (which she also starred in as the Fairy Godmother). Naturally people had a lot of thoughts, and we rounded them up so you could enjoy exactly how mind-blown they are. excuse me, but I have to call everyone I've ever met and yell at them for not telling me Whitney Houston produced The Princess Diaries pic.twitter.com/I4wDHYdF9A— Netflix US (@netflix) July 9, 2018 1 / 15 I just found out whitney houston produced princess diaries and shonda rhimes wrote the story for the second pic.twitter.com/r9klXvcCKi— Rach Tyson (@MsRachelTyson) July 10, 2018 2 / 15 of course she did. she produced both the princess diaries and the princess diaries 2: royal engagement. also, she was the producer for the cheetah girls 1 and 2 and executive producer for Cinderella (1997). the reason why our childhood classics were so great and filled with bops! https://t.co/cKbHK9Kwyt— lia (@RXMANSPHOENIX) July 10, 2018 3 / 15 for those asking “really?!”: here are behind-the-scenes photos of Whitney Houston with Julie Andrews, Anne Hathaway and director Garry Marshall on the set of The Princess Diaries. pic.twitter.com/ScUJxsyDjy— lia (@RXMANSPHOENIX) July 10, 2018 4 / 15 Fun fact: Whitney’s production company, Nippy Inc., bought the rights to “Sparkle” in 2000. And Aaliyah was originally supposed to play Sparkle. Unfortunately, Aaliyah passed and Whit put down the script until 2011.— NATHI (@WHOISNATHI) July 10, 2018 5 / 15 Damn did y'all know Whitney Houston produced the Princess Diaries?? pic.twitter.com/NPvmafe11h— Disco Ric (@RicWilson) July 7, 2018 6 / 15 suddenly I can hear her voice on Cinderella and it bops pic.twitter.com/fBgVU1WWMR— ⚜️ (@BrittniOcean) July 10, 2018 7 / 15 Wtf, Whitney Houston produced The Princess Diaries?

What I didn't know Shonda Rimes involvement. 😱 https://t.co/9Wl3ah444B— Samantha Parris (@SamanthaHTown) July 10, 2018 10 / 15 Now that the internet has enlightened me that Whitney Houston produced Cheetah Girls, it makes so much sense as to why the final song “Cheetah Sisters” bangs the way it does. Whitney had Raven doing runs we KNOW she is not capable of doing live. 🙌🏾— Joshua Teal (@joshuateal) July 11, 2018 11 / 15 I would just like to say that there is a video of Whitney Huston and Julie Andrews sing Anne Hathaway Happy birthday on the set of Princess Diaries. Which is beyond iconic https://t.co/zrJxwIUYpF— Domino (@VoyageToBisa) July 11, 2018 12 / 15 and then i was like, she must have won SOME type of award for either movie right? i mean you don't produce two of the best princess movies of my lifetime and not get recognition, right? pic.twitter.com/f52RBaMI5q— 🦄 drew 🦄 (@txxwxxn) July 9, 2018 13 / 15 how did no one know whitney houston produced the princess diaries. she also did cheetah girls that’s why the soundtrack goes so hard— LiL B THE BASEDGODDESS (@b_luss) July 10, 2018 14 / 15 Whitney Houston produced the Princess Diaries.
