I would have to agree with you there!

These are probably the last photos taken of Whitney Houston - they were in the Saturday (UK) morning's edition of "The Daily Mail".

She is a mess.....and dead within hours of these pics being taken:

I think it was her ex husband Bobby Brown who led her down the path to destructive behaviour. Once you go down that path...I think it's very difficult to do a 'U' turn.

True but it's still funny....


Whitney was her own worst enemy. Bobby Brown got the rap for introducing her to drugs when in fact she was well into them when they got together. Tiz sad for her daugher tho...

Bobby Brown was probably a bad influence.

Maybe...but I don't think there is any doubt that BB had a huge influence on her and it wasn't for the good.

Considering she introduced him to drugs i'd have to agree. I'm not saying he doesn't have his own demons but they were a lethal combination. I feel for their daugher, she's the only innocent in all this.

Abso. agree however I think her journey is reasonably well documented
in that she did make a few u turns(probably facilitated by aunts,cousins etc)
but she chose to double back onto a one way road to an early grave...
For sure staying substance free must have been so difficult however the prize of doing so i.e. her daughter's happiness should have incentivised her.

I maybe sound harsh however I am sorry this gorgeous talented young woman has departed this mortal coil.I am sorry that she chose a wrong un as her life partner but she was on the slippery slope when she met him,she had real strong family round her all her life and she didn't really alter her lifestyle when she became responsible for another person.
She wilfully contributed to her own destruction-her choice.

And there is Paul Dacre telling the 'papp' investegators that his newspaper doesn't do intrusive journalism....
