#84: Whitney Houston: Crack is Whack
We all knew Whitney Houston wanted to dance with somebody, we just had no idea she’d end up waltzing with a crack pipe. The singer had barreled through the ’80s and ’90s racking up #1 hits and the occasional flop (like marrying the dysfunctional Bobby Brown). After selling over nine million copies of The Bodyguard soundtrack and stockpiling six Grammys, she decided to move on to something more, uh, super f*cking illegal.
In early 2000, Whitney was busted lugging weed through a Hawaii airport. As if that wasn’t bad-ass enough, she inspired Lohans everywhere by skipping shows and losing enough weight to scare even Nicole Richie. Chatting with Diane Sawyer in 2002, she admitted to, well, everything. “My business is sex, drugs, rock and roll … I partied a lot.” When asked by Sawyer about her drug of choice — “Is it alcohol? Is it marijuana? Is it cocaine? Is it pills?” — Whitney answered, “It has been at times.” Sawyer: “All?” Houston: “At times.” But even Whitney had her limits: “I make too much money for me to ever smoke crack … crack is whack.” Whack enough to send the fallen songbird to rehab in 2004. She has yet to make a solid comeback — unless having her husband yank a “doody bubble” from her ass counts — but at least she’s made headlines dumping Brown for Ray J., brother of Brandy and on-camera lover of Kim Kardashian.
Whitney’s daughter is possibly continuing the family addiction tradition. Pics of then 13-year-old Bobbi Kristina exhaling what looked like marijuana smoke popped up on the Web in 2007. So much for teaching children well and letting them lead the way.

I am a TRUE Whitney Houston Fan and “I Will Always Love You” Nippy,but that Primetime Live interview was a HUGE mistake!! What idiot talked nippy into doing this “Train Wreck”! There is absolutely nothing Whitney can do or say that will make me lose my respect and admiration for this almost PERFECT CELEBRITY!! If whitney was under the influence of Narcotics or Alcohol during her interview,it would explain why some of the comments were just not making any sense! I had a problem with her statements of…”I want to see the receipts ” and the explanation of why she was fired from the OSCARS! NOBODY in her circle of friends or Family members could not be TRUTHFUL and honestly sit her down and tell her that this interview would make her look just “FOOLISH”!! Where was her REAL Family and CELEBRITY FRIENDS that claim that they “LOVE her? Where was ROBIN Crawford,CECE WINANS,ARETHA FRANKLIN and Dionne Warwick? Nobody was there to REALLY HELP HER BUT BOBBY BROWN…HER LOVING,NEEDY HUSBAND? Where was her PUBLICIST? She was there to take the FALL ALONE…too ILL to be taken seriously! EVERYBODY THAT CLAIM TO LOVE HER,ABANDONED HER ON HER OWN THAT DAY!! WHITNEY WILL BE SOBER AND #1 AGAIN….SHE’S ON HER COMEBACK TRAIL!!
