smokes crack, uses sex toys to satisfy herself and ignores personal hygiene.

When high on drugs, she imagines she sees demons and is being beaten by them.


oh, c'mon, don't act like you can't relate to that. rolleyes

That was an easy way to make some money...
It doesn`t help to have friends and family betraying her in that way, she has admitted to having problems with drugs, we don`t need to know more.

Tina added: “I understand what she’s going through. Addiction is a disease. Maybe this interview will save her life.”


well, if not that, at least it saves Tina from the rent collector

Right, so she goes to a tabloid on the other side of the ocean which happens to be the one that notoriously pays the most for that kind of stuff.

There the woman who co-starred with Kevin Costner in the 1992 hit movie The Bodyguard smokes crack, uses sex toys to satisfy herself and ignores personal hygiene.

I've just seen that in the paper, and all i can say is that is a tragic waste of talent and of a life. For someone who had everything to live for, it seems she now only lives for one thing and i fear she's not long for this life is she carries on like that.

To be honest, as much as the sun prints rubbish, i do believe this, in spite of the motives of the person who sold the story. The pics of her bathroom are pretty disgusting, she must be leading a pretty desperate life. To be honest, the more public it is, the more likely it is that someone will interveen to help her.

Where is the pic of the bathroom?

I'm sorry to say that I don't expect to see Whitney come back from this. She can barely admit that she has a problem, let alone deal with any sort of counseling. Even if she gets clean her voice may be shot.

Robin read this on the news (on the Howard Stern Show). Everyone there thinks it's really tragic...and they make fun of everything! It actually might have been another story about Whitney...which mentions that she has false teeth! Holy shit!

Yeah, I've been hearing the false teeth thing for awhile. Apparently the drugs do something to the gum and your teeth get loose and fall out. I know this happens with Crystal Meth but don't know of other drugs that cause gum damage.

OMG, that is shocking. Hearing about it is one thing, seeing it is another. I saw Bobby just a few weeks ago with three of his kids--Bobby Jr, La Princia or whatever and his older son. They all seemed like really cool smart kids. Poor Bobbi Kristina living around that on a daily basis...While I understand his defense of Whitney and not wanting to discuss personal struggles with the media there is no acknowledgement that something is off. He insists that everything is fine. So then I think maybe it's just lies again and I see something like this and when there's that much smoke I have to believe there's fire.

No interview will save an addicts life - the addict has to want to save their own.....and no person, place or thing can help them. I know and love too many people that suffer with addictions...it is a daily challenge. Recovering addicts are some of the strongest, most courageous people you will ever know.
The whole Whitney situation is tragic....she had a natural talent that has been wasted...literally and figuratively speaking. sad

I think her family (mom, dad, brother etc) should do an intervention. Leave Bobby out of it and seriously try to get the woman some help. I don't know if an intervention is doable, but someone has to help her before she's dead because that's what's going to happen to her if she doesn't get her life in order. Very sad.

On the Diane Sawyer interview she talked about her mother trying to help:

WHITNEY HOUSTON:
I don't like to think of myself addicted. I like to think of, I had a bad habit, which can be broken.

DIANE SAWYER:
(Voice over) But it's hard. In 1999, her mother, blues singer Cissy Houston, tried to intervene, after reports that Whitney and Bobby had a wild fight in a hotel room.

WHITNEY HOUSTON:
And she gets in my door, there's some people I want you to meet. I said, mommy, you've raised me with the love, and with God. Now, if I can't make it with you and with the love of God, I'm not putting my, my, my life in someone else's hands. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. And nobody else, I don't care where they're from, what counsel service, or whatever they're from, if you did this to me, I will go and leave the country, take Krissy with me, and we'll just go. And I was very serious. And she said, everybody leave, please. Wait a minute. Because she's serious.

Yes, I remember this now. Thanks for the reminder.

If this is true then my God. I truly hope and pray that Whitney gets it together. IF not for her sake then for her daughter.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I REALLY don't understand people who take addictive drugs. You know this shit can kill you and or ruin your life and you take them anyway? I don't get that. Never will. All of that mumbo jumbo about "peer" pressure is a bunch of B.S.

What's addictive is the high while you're on the drug and constant need to escape, at least at first.
