Oprah is kicking off the 24th season of “The Oprah Winfrey Show” by chatting with Whitney Houston.

Winfrey is calling the sit-down interview with the scandal-plagued diva, which airs on Sept. 14, “the most anticipated music interview of the decade.”

It will be Houston’s first interview in nearly seven years. Her last major interview was with Diane Sawyer, during which she famously said, “I make too much money to ever smoke crack . . . Crack is wack.” —
