Whitney Houston to seatbelt: Hell to the no!

Whitney HoustonOh Whitney Houston, what are we gonna do with you? Everyone’s favorite crusader against crack (which, by the way, is whack) boarded a Delta flight in Atlanta when she decided that then was the best moment to play the diva card and refused to put her seat belt on. To which I say: Really? This is the hill you want to die on? TMZ reports:

We’re told Whitney refused and “got diva” on the crew member … until another crew member came over and warned Houston that if she didn’t buckle up, she would have to get off the plane. Whitney eventually allowed one of the crew members to grab the buckle and fasten it for the singer — and the plane was then cleared for takeoff. Sources close to the singer tell us … Whitney “overreacted a little bit after missing an earlier flight but she’s still 100% sober and was on the way to Detroit for her first day of shooting a new movie.”

Look, I know air travel is an absolute pill and all, but … seriously? Buckling a seat belt? That’s what got to you? This was the major indignity that set you off? Come on, it’s a tiny strap of fabric that runs over your crotch. If you’re gonna go all diva in the middle of a flight, at least make it about something important, like those tiny bottles of booze they give. It’s like bitch, for reals? How am I supposed to get mid-air shitty when you’re giving me baby’s first 40? (I’m a nervous flyer. I NEED ALL THE BOOZE.)

Whitney Houston seeks help … again!

Poor Whitney Houston, the soul stirring crooner (and a favorite here at PopBytes) is seeking treatment in a rehabilitation facility yet again. Reportedly the singer entered an outpatient program ten days ago, on a voluntary basis, to begin work on a ‘long-standing recovery process.’ This is just the latest entry into a very public battle Houston has been going through for quite some time now, she went from a mega established chart-topping career two decades ago to a complete 180 descent, including bouts with drugs, alcohol, and her fair share of abusive relationships, notably with her now ex-hubby Bobby Brown.

The singer has been through this before, in 2004 and 2005 the singer entered rehab programs, checking herself out prematurely both times. These stints in rehab came after her attempt to sneak a bag of pot past screeners at a Hawaii airport in 2000 and then a notorious interview with Diane Sawyer two years later, revealing sordid details of her drug driven life, including admittance to using not only marijuana but also cocaine, pills and alcohol but not crack, since that’s whack! She famously also said in that interview that the ‘party is over’, is the party really over now?

Whitney Houston has checked herself in to an out-patient rehabilitation program … TMZ has learned. A source directly connected with Whitney tells us … Houston enrolled in the program around 10 days ago. The program allows Houston to go out in public … as long as she has a monitor. Just last weekend, Houston was enjoying herself at a Prince concert in L.A. … with her daughter right by her side. Our source is not saying why Houston is seeking treatment … but we’re told, “She’s cleansing herself to get ready for a new movie.” SOURCE

Whitney Houston puts her daughter in rehab!

A few weeks ago, the National Enquirer published pictures of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown‘s daughter snorting cocaine, and now apparently Ms. Houston is saying ‘Oh hell to the no!’ and is ready to put Bobbi Kristina Brown (who just turned 18 on March 4th) straight into an outpatient rehab program! If this is indeed true (we are talking about the Enquirer) then this is definitely a step in the right direction before things get totally out of control, something Ms. Houston sadly knows all about!

A heartbroken Whitney Houston will put her daughter Bobbi Kristina into rehab after the Enquirer published world exclusive photos in our print edition of the troubled teen snorting cocaine. Crushed by our report that her daughter – known to friends as “Krissi” – is hopelessly addicted to cocaine and alcohol, Whitney begged her: “Don’t let drugs ruin your life the way they ruined mine,” sources say. The Grammy-winning diva and her ex-husband, Krissi’s father Bobby Brown, are blaming each other for their only child’s problems, according to insiders. “Whitney was devastated over the photos showing Krissi using cocaine, and the Enquirer story that quoted her telling friends, ‘I’m just like my mother,’” a friend divulged. “She called a family meeting and sobbed as she told Krissi, ‘I don’t want to lose you.’” READ MORE

Bobbi Kristina doing coke? Oh hell to the no!

I guess it really is true, the apple never falls very far from the tree. The latest issue of National Enquirer contains a picture the tabloid claims is Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown‘s seventeen-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown snorting a line of cocaine! We all know the many troubles Ms. Houston has had in the past with drugs (who knows what she’s really up to these days since her comeback didn’t go as planned), if this is indeed Bobbi Kristina following in her mom’s footsteps, then what a shame. Plus her dad certainly hasn’t set the best example either. This situation totally reminds me of that PSA from the ’80s where a dad catches his son doing drugs and then asks him where he learned to do that, the kid responds, ‘You! I learned it from watching you!’ Let’s hope she gets the help she needs before things start to get really whack. Because in the words of Whitney herself, crack is whack! Can I get an amen?
