Songstress goes gospel at Dove Awards on Nashville Network Academy Awards receive stable home LAUNDF^ 1 ^

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) —
Whitney Houston will get back to
her gospel music roots this
month with a performance at the
Dove Awards ceremony.
Houston said she will sing “I
Go to the Rock” — a Dove nomi
nee — during the April 23 show,
to be broadcast live on The
Nashville Network.
The Dove Awards represent
the Christian music industry's
Houston
version of the
Grammy Awards.
Houston boycotted this year’s Grammy Awards
because her movie soundtrack album “The Preach
er's Wife” was nominated in the rhythm and blues
category instead of gospel.
On Wednesday, she said she was honored to re
ceive a nomination from the gospel community.
“I Go to the Rock,” which is from “The Preach
er's Wife," is nominated for a Dove Award for best
traditional gospel recorded song.
John Tesh and Naomi Judd will be the hosts of
the Dove Awards ceremony.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — After 70 years of wandering between hotels, theaters
and auditoriums, the Oscars are finally getting a permanent home.
The Motion Picture Academy and the city announced plans Thursday for a $350
million complex in Hollywood. It will include a 3,300-seat theater that will be the
site of the annual Academy Awards show starting in 2001.
“This is a historic day, the beginning of a new era in Hollywood history," pro
claimed Robert Rehme, president of the academy.
The project will be on Hollywood Boulevard next to Mann’s Chinese Theatre
— formerly known as Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, the place where stars have
put their hands and feet in the wet concrete outside. Besides the theater, the
project will include a ballroom, multiplex cinemas, restaurants and stores.
The academy invested no money in the new theater. The complex will be owned
by the city, and the theater will be leased to the academy. A parking garage now
stands on the site.
