Bobbi Kristina Brown’s hearse arrives carrying her body to funeral service

The hearse carrying Bobbi Kristina Brown has arrived at the church where her funeral will take place today.

Scores of onlookers are expected to gather on Saturday near a Georgia church for the funeral of Bobbi Kristina, the only child of late singer Whitney Houston.

Brown's funeral at St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, a northern suburb of Atlanta of about 60,000 residents, is private and will be closed to the public but that is not expected to deter media and members of the public who have been mourning her death.

Brown, 22, died on Sunday at an area hospice, six months after suffering irreversible brain damage in a still unexplained incident at her Roswell, Georgia, home.

She was found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub by her partner and a friend in January in an eerie echo of the Beverly Hills hotel bathtub drowning of her famous mother in 2012.

Brown, the daughter of Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown, is expected to be buried on Monday next to her mother at a cemetery in New Jersey.

An initial autopsy this week found no obvious underlying cause for Brown's death but the investigation is ongoing. 

The case is under review by the Fulton County District Attorney's Office but no-one has been criminally charged over her death.

A $10 million civil lawsuit filed in June accused Brown's boyfriend, Nick Gordon, of causing her "life-threatening injuries" and of stealing from her bank account while she was in a coma.

Brown had inherited her mother's fortune.

Samsung set to create a fold in Half-Like Flip Touch Screen phone

The Seoul, South Korea-based company has patented a smartphone with a super flexible touchscreen that looks flat and seamless but would be able to fold in half, either inward or outward, much like the two flaps of a wallet. Just imagine folding your iPhone in half.

According to images filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office earlier this month and first obtained by Business Insider, the phone could look a lot like the ubiquitous clamshell phones of the early 2000s.

It's unclear whether Samsung will actually pursue this foldable design or whether it would ever release similar flip phones in the U.S. However, the company has experimented in recent years with innovative phone designs, including its curved Galaxy phone and its somewhat bendable Galaxy Note Edge. 

But in the flip realm, a version of Samsung's flip phone is slated to go on sale in Korea sometime in August. Called the Galaxy Folder, the smartphone will have all the modern functionality we've come to expect from our smartphones, but look a lot like the phones gathering dust in our dresser drawers. 

"The folding-style design combined with smartphone features, including the Internet, messenger and social networking services, will add to the device's convenience," Samsung said in a statement, according to Reviewed.com.

Nicki Minaj DUMPED Meek Mill over Drake feud

Minaj has reportedly dumped Meek Mill following his ongoing feud with Drake.

Meek and Drake first fell out after the former accused Drake of using a ghostwriter to pen his raps.

“Stop comparing drake to me too... He don't write his own raps! That's why he ain't tweet my album because we found out!” Meek tweeted on 22 July.

Since then it's escalated with diss tracks (Meek's spectacularly backfired) and other famous faces wading into the row on social media.

Now, according to MediaTakeOut, rapper Nicki has broken things off with the 28-year-old, who she's been dating since late last year.

A source claimed Nicki dumped hiNicki m on Thursday night, but seeing as he's currently touring with her “the two plan on fulfilling the rest of the tour obligations together.”

The source, reportedly a close friend of the star's, couldn't say whether it was down to what's been going on with Drake.

“It’s complicated. I think they took their relationship too far, too fast," they continued.

It comes after Meek recently said things were going from strength to strength between him and the 32-year-old singer and said he wants children "sooner or later".

He said: "Nicki ain't pregnant. But yeah, I wish...I already tweeted that five years ago, so it should be happening later. Sooner or later, when we ready for that."
