A new trailer for “Whitney” has been released and, from the looks of things, viewers are in for a salacious treat when the film premieres Jan. 17. There’s the meteoric rise to fame. The tumultuous personal life. Randy bedroom romps. Powdery substances. Yelling and fighting. Tears. In short, everything that you’d expect and hope for.
