Whitney Houston & Bobby Brown’s Drug Dealer Spills The Dirt

Hello Beautiful — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:00:08 +0000

Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s former drug dealer is spilling the beans about the couple’s drug use back in the day. Joey Diaz who claimed he used to sell cocaine to Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown went on the radio and talked about the coke he sold them in the 90′s.

Joey Diaz told The Joe Rogen Experience that he used to sell Whitney and Bobby 14 grams of coke a day and that he would pinch an eight ball off each sack for himself and that pretty soon he had so much pilfered coke he couldn’t snort it all.

Whitney Houston Almost Kicked Off Flight For Refusing To Buckle Seatbelt

Hello Beautiful — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 13:30:47 +0000

Whitney Houston threw a “diva” tantrum by refusing to buckle up on a Delta flight in Atlanta yesterday. According to TMZ, Whitney pretty much flipped the bird to the flight attendant, when she asked the singer to fasten her seat belt before departure. When Houston ignored the request, another flight attendant stepped in and told Whit that if she didn’t comply with FAA rules she would have to deplane the flight.

Whitney’s rep said the singer “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.”

And did you know that Ray J also moved to the ATL this weekend??? Hmmm….

The star received drug and alcohol treatment earlier this year in a bid to clean up her life.

Whitney has landed a role in a remake of Sparkle, which focuses on three sisters who begin singing in a Harlem choir before finding fame in a girl group in the late 50s.

Can Bobbi Kristina Sing Like Her Mother Whitney? [VIDEO]

Hello Beautiful — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 21:00:59 +0000

Being the daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown seems like it would come with immense pressure. For the most part we expect Bobbi Kristina to sing and dance like a goddess. I gave up hope that she would be an artist after multiple run-ins with drugs, guns and well…Whitney and Bobby.

Even though Bobbi has struggled, she has taken to Youtube to show her skills. Can she sing like her mother or even half as well as her father?

Happy Birthday Whitney Houston

She is literally one of the greatest vocal performers of our time. Her career has blossomed, soared and exploded on the music scene for nearly three decades blazing a trail for almost every single one of today’s popular singers and entertainers. At a seasoned 48-years-old, the one and only Whitney Houston has performed for millions internationally, sold an unprecedented 180+ million records globally and is by far the most awarded female act of all time according to the Guinness Book of World Records. With 415 career awards as of 2010, Whitney Houston has set the bar extremely high for any other artist to even begin to achieve.

Born on August 9, 1963 in Newark, New Jersey, Whitney Houston has given us a plethora of pop, R&B, dance, soul and gospel music since the day she was born. Having taken career forays and detours into modeling, acting and producing, there is literally nothing she can’t do. When it comes to singing, Whitney Houston is the epitome of vocal ability. With years of chart-topping singles, stellar albums and mega-star status, no one since has come close to her epic success.

Today, we are all wishing “the voice of a generation” – Ms. Whitney Houston an exceptionally special and Happy Birthday! We love you, we appreciate you and we miss your voice dearly! May peace, love and many blessings rain, rule and abide with you on your special day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHITNEY HOUSTON – WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!

MUSIC VIDEOS/CAREER NOTES:

I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY – 1987

Bursting onto the scene with vibrancy, high energy and vocal prowess unseen before her time, “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” quickly became one of Whitney Houston’s signature hits and to this day is one of the strongest singles for the international superstar.

I’M YOUR BABY TONIGHT – 1990

Produced by Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, this song found Whitney Houston taking a swift departure from her more pop singles in an effort to dispel the myth that she had “sold out” as an African American vocalist. The global pop star went for an urban appeal which soon became as equally successful as her earlier works.

I’M EVERY WOMAN – 1992

Taking a chapter from the book of legendary soul singers like Chaka Khan and Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston proved she could have one foot in the past and one foot stepping on toward the future. With her explosive remake of Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman” (penned by singer/songwriter duo & soul music’s original lovebirds Ashford & Simpson), the song and it’s accompanying video brought women from every corner of the earth together once again. Check out cameo appearances from R&B trio TLC having tons of fun and a very pregnant Whitney Houston literally just glowing from the screen.

STEP BY STEP – 1996

Whitney Houston’s acting career continued to blossom just as her music did in the 1990s with a series of lead roles in Blockbuster films such as The Bodyguard (1992), Waiting to Exhale (1995) & The Preacher’s Wife (1996). Each one of the movies she became apart of allowed her yet another opportunity to create some beautiful music. With 1996′s “Step By Step,” Whitney Houston brought back her signature sound on the soundtrack to The Preacher’s Wife – a strong return to her gospel roots being that she was raised in the church.

HEARTBREAK HOTEL – 1998

Every real singer’s dream is to join their favorite vocalist in the studio, on stage and on an album track. For R&B divas in training (at that time) Faith Evans & Kelly Price in training, their one wish finally came true when Whitney Houston invited them to trade a few stellar riffs and runs on the hit “Heartbreak Hotel.” What’s better than one diva? Obviously, three! Their smooth R&B styles and distinct, power house vocals quickly turned this Soulshock & Karlin-produced urban ballad into a mega-hit for each of the leading ladies on the mic.

There is buzz going around originally printed from the National Enquirer that singer Whitney Houston is battling emphysema. Here’s more of the story:

On the heels of sub par and canceled live performances, Whitney Houston now has a much more serious low to battle — emphysema. According to the National Enquirer, doctors informed the singer that she is suffering from early stages of the lung disease, an obvious culprit to Houston’s poorly received vocal performances, as of late.

“She’s developed emphysema — and her doctors are warning her she’ll die a horrible death,” a friend of the singer told the Enquirer.

Wendy told her audience that Whitney Houston had checked herself into an outpatient rehab program, and Wendy shared her battles with drugs in the process:

“Have you ever tried drugs? Well I have. It’s been many years, I can laught about it now, too. It’s the stupidest thing I ever did in my life, you know, but I am familiar with every form of cocaine including crack and that whole bit. And I have to tell you, when I saw this picture right here, show that other picture of Whitney.

“[Begins crying] I remember that girl, sweaty, hair in the face, grown…I remember that girl very well, [points to herself] I wrote the book and everything. I can own up to my mistakes. Whitney, you need more than outpatient, and furthermore, I’m going to tell you right now because I’ve said it before: I don’t believe that you were sober on Oprah, I don’t believe that you went into rehab voluntarily this time[...]On Inside Edition they said that Whitney just signed on for Waiting to Exhale 2. Well you know what happens with these Hollywood people, you have to be insurable and bankable. Nobody’s insuring [points to photo] this. So clean it up!

Vibe: You’ve spoken on wanting to portray Aaliyah. Is there anyone else you think you could pull of well?
