      you know you've hit rock bottom when you're even dating ray j.

      "I'm a cougar!" Who ever thought she would top "Crack is Whack!" line???

      I feel sorry for her daughter and her family -- I do think that those close to her have a lot of nerve doing the hand wringing thing now - and the "how could we have known" stuff -- everyone close to her who knew her problems should have acted on it - it is too late now to do the "woulda shoulda coulda...." shuffle

      All down hill after she married Bobby Brown. However, as far as I know, no one put a gun to her head to get her addicted.

        I actually saw both of them at seperate times in Hawaii back before they were married. She was not the princess the public relations people made her out to be. Her and Bobby Brown were like peas in a pod, made for each other. Both were arrogant, self centered and thought they were a cut above their fans.

        Dave, though I LOVED her music and her talent, you are exactly right. There is this Urban Legend that Bobby! was her downfall. NOPE! She was actively abusing drugs when she met Bobby. She was not the pure innocent that she was marketed to be. She had considerably more resources than Bobby, and they were a "
        Wicked Attraction" when it cames to substance abuse. My heart goes out to her mother and her daughter. No one that young should lose their mother, and there is not hurt greater than the loss of a child.

        Yeah, Reno & Dave. A) Resources ($$$), B) the most beautiful woman in the world IMHO, combined with C) raw unparalleled talent. She wasn't manufacturing her own drugs. Someone else was getting them for her. If vulnerable, it may have been easy for someone on the inside to encourage her to eat a handful of pills. So so sad.

      I think it is a sad state of our society that everyone uses Twitter to post condolences and messages to others. What are they, a bunch of Twits?
    • Wowerz  •  Kirkland, Washington  •  3 mths ago
      Stacy u need to be ashamed of urself...I know u need money but this is really desperate, Whitney was nice to u the 1st time u approached her, the 2nd time is when she got sick of u.
    • Clifford  •  3 mths ago
      So sad... for all of us, no matter which way you look at it.
      God be with Whitney Houston, a beautiful voice is silent now.
      God bring comfort to her family and friends.

      Whitney Houston Beats Bobby Brown to Death!

        And your idiocy is showing abundantly
    • T. Roll  •  Sunnyvale, California  •  3 mths ago
      Kudos to Stacy for taking the high road on this , rather than merely reiterating the fact that Whitney, in an alcohol and drug induced fit of rage acted like a jerk hours before she died.
      • James 3 mths ago
        Stacy is far from a saint.
      • truthhurts 3 mths ago
        The high road? First of all, the idiot "man", If that's what you want to call him, that they were fighting over, says Stacy is a "longtime family friend." Excuse me? What constitutes a long time? A couple of months? She's not even very old, so it's laughable. They were obviously flirting with each other which is hard to believe on his end (sorry but she's a mess.) Secondly, Whitney might not have been a saint but this girl didn't have one tenth of her greatness and now she will be forever remembered for ruining one of Whitney's last nights on earth. Wow, good job . . . She is backpedaling now because she's afraid it will hurt her career. And it will.
      • Andrea 3 mths ago
        Stacy did not ruin Whitney's night. Whitney ruin her own night...really a grown women of her stature having a yelling match with a kid? Over another Kid? Sorry but the only one coming out of this looking bad is the 48 year old woman having a what seems to be a jealosy fit over a punk kid.

      "Maintained her genuineness" in a self centered, low life, drug induced way.
    • JOL  •  Houston, Texas  •  3 mths ago
      If Whitney hadn't have died, she would have been calling her a biotch all this week. The woman used to have a voice, but ended up just a has been doper.
    • whit h  •  Gardner, Illinois  •  3 mths ago
      I stopped thinking about WH in the 90's, but from all the recent articles I"ve read recently, her life of arrogance and willful self-destruction was beginning to catch up to her. Her obvious realization that she had destroyed her singing money maker, and alleged rumors of her sea of debt she was drowning in, along with the fact that she was obviously losing her looks, it's not too much of a stretch, to think she chose to "check-out" rather than face daily the stark reality of what she did to herself. A woman truly unworthy of the life given her.

      Cocaine sales were down 30% at last nights Grammies. Dealers hope sales will pick up this weekend. Drug use should be back to normal by the end of the month.
    • Steven  •  San Antonio, Texas  •  3 mths ago
      Not only was she a wonderful singer but she left a anti drug message that anyone can see. Everyone should be able to see what drugs can do to harm ones body...
    • bob  •  3 mths ago
      what the hec is a ray j?
    • Dave  •  Beaverton, Oregon  •  3 mths ago
      She should speak the truth and just say "I was verbally assualted by a crack head." RIP Whitney, but you brought it all upon yourself.
    • Ed  •  Phoenix, Arizona  •  3 mths ago
      What a mess, amazing we didn't know how gone she was until she litterally was gone for good. I think the media kept her indiscretions under wraps and the ones we saw, like Oprah and others, the public loved who she used to be so we just ignired them. As well, unlike Michael Jackson, she only victimized herself, so I think we cut her a lot of slack for that. Anyway, it was really just a matter of time before she blew up from the inside. Maybe we should legalize contraband drugs and make illegal prescription drugs, they seem to be the real culprit anymore.
    • SusieQ  •  Stockton, California  •  3 mths ago
      I find all of this disgusting. Someone has died. That family is in pain. Have some respect for them. She was one of the best vocalists ever and speculation is just that !

      "Whitney maintained a genuineness in this difficult profession" Like running around completely stoned while insisting she was "clean and sober". Yep, totally genuine. Not.
