Sad. Really sad. FWIW, The Sun is basically a gossip rag in the UK. But the pictures don't lie.

It's sad indeed....

I remember her as a fresh faced diva who had a great set of pipes. Now she's an old, haggard, drugged out bitch. It's hard to believe it but right now i'd say Bobby Brown is actually a lot closer to getting his life on track then Whitney.

Re: The downfall of Whitney Houston

Call me cold, but I don't see that much sadness in this. Houston had every chance through rehab to turn her life around, and the financial means to do it. But she's so self-centered and arrogant that she prefers to spiral down the drain of hard drugs.

And nothing pisses me off more than calling drug abuse a "disease." Cancer, leukemia and cystic fibrosis are diseases. Drug abuse is a lifestyle choice, nothing more.

To put Whitney Houston smoking 8-balls every day in the same category as a 2-year-old fighting brain cancer in a chemo ward is beyond stupid. It's terribly insulting.

Let me ask you cats who feel sad for Whitney this question: If the same story was told about a regular person who wasn't a big pop star who used to be hotter than a campfire, would you feel the same sympathy? Do you feel the same sympathy for a crackhead in the alley of a major city?

I feel sorry for Whitney and Bobby's daughter. I feel little sympathy for her drug-infested parents, who both seem more concerned with their next fix than caring for their daughter.

Take care,
PK

Co-sign. By sad, I meant it was a sad waste of her talent. But I don't have any sympathy for her in the least.

Sad to see. Just goes to show you how the company you keep affects you. It was her freakin husband that introduced her to drugs. So her daughter is basically growing up without a mother.

Not sure what The Sun link says or shows, but there is a huge National Enquirer frontpage story that shows the counter in what is supposedly Whitney's bathroom. Just hit up Google, it isn't hard to find.

I'll address this, I don't feel sad for her because she's had the means to recover unlike many other people. I feel sad because she was once such a great singer and someone who had great career ahead of her.

As for the regular people part, yes I feel sorry for them. Calling drug addiction a disease may be stretching it but it IS dehibilitating. I don't like to see people suffering from an addiction like that.

Call me a bleeding heart empathizer but that's the way I am.

Then perhaps she should have never started using in the first place, or at least quit before it became a full fledged addiction. You can say that the addiction is just too strong for her to overcome, but someone who smokes crack on the way to friggin rehab isn't what I call someone who wants to get better.

She made her bed, and she is lying in it now.

Exactly I have known people that I have gotten through addiction and it is not a pretty thing, but when you have the financial ability to get yourself cured and you still choose not to, you reap what you sew.

I feel sorry for the daughter. Hopefully she can at least rise to make something of herself besides a bad headline.
