Top Hollywood publicist and executive Joy Fehily has resigned from her post at public relations firm Pmk-Bnc, individuals familiar with the move told Variety.
Fehily steps down in the midst of a five-year deal with the show business institution, insiders said, which reps A-list actors and below-the-line talent as well as huge brands like American Express. She will move into a consulting role with as many as 40 accounts that will remain at the agency — and become a manager for longtime client and “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane, his production company Fuzzy Door and his charitable foundation.
Fehily, who will remain at the company the company through the end of July, and Pmk-bnc chairman and CEO Cindi Berger confirmed the news but did not comment further.
Fehily and her partner Michael Donkis joined Pmk in 2016, when the publicly traded firm absorbed their company Prime PR. Among the starry clients...

Whitney Houston, star of "The Bodyguard," "Waiting to Exhale," "The Preacher's Wife" and a musical career spanning three decades, has passed away at the age of 48. The Associated Press reports that the cause and location of her death are unknown. Publicist Kristen Foster confirmed Saturday that the singer has died.

She returned to the network for a guest appearance on "Silver Spoons" shortly after the release of her debut album.
Houston's first big screen role came in 1992's romantic thriller "The Bodyguard," co-starring Kevin Costner, for which Houston won MTV Movie Awards for Best Breakthrough and Best Female Performance.

Whitney Houston feels like she needs more help in her "long-standing recovery process". The singer has completed a 30-day outpatient program earlier this week but she is "voluntarily seeking additional treatment for drug and alcohol," TMZ reported.
Whitney has hired a round-the-clock life coach to keep her on track but other than that, no details on what kind of treatment she receives. "She really wants it this time," a source said regarding Whitney's willingness to get help in her own accord.
While her rep Kristen Foster is yet to confirm this extension, she has, few days ago, denied a tabloid story that the diva is battling emphysema due to her smoking habit. This rumor stemmed from the fact that she stopped mid track while singing "I Will Always Love You" at a Brisbane concert.
