Whitney Houston, who died of cocaine use, heart disease and drowning, was a walking pharmacy. She had several drugs in her system when she died - namely cocaine and marijuana, which is sometimes mixed with toxic additives, in addition to pharmaceuticals Xanax, Flexeril and Benadryl, which all have a heavy sedative effect. In short, she was zonked. Flexeril is a muscle relaxer (which can relax the heart as well) and anti-anxiety drug Xanax, in tandem with the cocaine, gave her heart a beating it could not stand up to.
But this is the Hollywood lifestyle, where celebrities and executives take drugs to forget their problems and get high, which is their definition of partying. What some don't get is that in Hollywood drugs are seen as a good thing, something positive, when in actuality they are not. In Hollywood drugs are apart of the party...even if it kills you. Hollywood needs to change its attitude towards drugs and alcohol.
The Los Angeles coroner's office has ruled today, the late, legendary singer, Whitney Houston, died at age 48 last month of cocaine use, heart disease and drowning. She was found dead in her bathtub at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on the eve of the Grammy Awards.
Marijuana, Xanax and Flexiril were also found in her system at the time of death. This confirms Houston did not kick her drug habit of smoking crack cocaine with marijuana rolled up in a joint. Houston referred to it as "rock cocaine" with "marijuana."
This is such a waste of life and a tremendous talent. The irony is many more celebrities in Hollywood will die early deaths, decades earlier than they should have, due to regrettable choices they are making. So many of them have already died early over the past few years, due to the destructive decisions they have made.
How many more people in Hollywood will have to die before tinseltown gets the message to stop this destructive, ungodly behavior. What good is fame and money to people that have died decades early. It's not worth it.
Will She Get A Prenup Like Her Mom Did With Her Dad Bobby Brown

Singer Whitney Houston's last will and testament, did not make provisions for her informally adopted son Nick Gordon, whom she raised for the past 10-years with her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown. It was revealed last week, Brown is now engagement to Gordon and is wearing her mother's ring as an engagement ring.

Sorry to bring this up again, but since it is common knowledge that Brown has an addiction to drugs and alcohol, what if she does not successfully complete rehab and accidentally overdoses after she gets married. The entire Houston estate could be Gordon's free and clear.

Scientists should study train wreck Lindsay Lohan in a lab, as she has found the secret to aging, regarding accelerating it through hard living. Lohan has no known genetic disorder causing this, but should serve as a warning to preteens and teens of what happens when you party all the time and abuse drugs and alcohol.
Lohan claims she is on the comeback trail, but she has not changed. She is just trying to pretend for the public and press, while getting up to her usual stunts in Hollywood circles. Directors and producers are also still wary of hiring her, lest she destroys their films with her crazy antics and tardiness.
Oprah Winfrey's interview with the late Whitney Houston's family aired yesterday and while it was touching and confirmed a few details regarding the singer's death, it was not particularly revealing. Items that were confirmed include the Judiciary Report's contentions on February 13, 2012, February 16, 2012 and March 10, 2012 that Houston, 48 and Ray J, 31 were romantically involved and that it was a bad idea (even though he now claims they were just friends).
Houston's sister-in-law and manager, Pat Houston, stated to Winfrey, she saw the singer dangerously "chasing a dream" of a "young man" that likes to be "out and about" and an "older woman" that likes to "stay home." This was indeed a reference to Ray J and Houston's tumultuous relationship and 17-year age difference.

I think Houston took a liking to Ray J because he is a bad boy and looks like her ex-husband Bobby Brown (they are both male singers with goatees, similar complexions and physical builds). I don't particularly think she liked being a "cougar" which is slang for an older woman dating a younger man, but she transferred her feelings for bad boy Brown to Ray J.
However, Ray J, like Brown, is promiscuous and broke her heart. But with Ray J, Houston had to deal with the age difference making her feel old and one of his irate girlfriends, Stacy Francis, 41, from Fox/Sony's "X-Factor" stalking her to the club and repeatedly confronting her in an unpleasant manner, two days before her death. Pat Houston spoke of Francis following them all over the club in a manner they deemed uncomfortable and confrontational (is everyone on or affiliated with Sony a stalker - do they give them stalking classes or something).
Bobby Brown
The incident regarding Ray J and Stacy Francis definitely depressed Houston and made her feel old, adding to her worries about her vocal woes and forthcoming album. You could see it on her face in pictures, as she exited the club that she was sad and upset.
It was just another reminder that Ray J, who she was enamored with, was not going to be faithful to her and had his iron in several fires. Unfaithful people like Ray J need to realize their promiscuity hurts others and sometimes in ways they could not imagine. If you are not serious about someone nor do you intend to be faithful, don't lead the person on.

The week Houston died, she was contemplating getting plastic surgery, but failed the physical, due to damage to her system from years of heavy smoking, drinking and drug use. She was a prime candidate for cardiac arrest on the operating table during plastic surgery.
However, she really didn't need plastic surgery, just some gentle detox to reduce toxins in her system (from smoking, drinking and drugs), skin rejuvenation and Pilates, to be back to her best, as she had aged very well. She had no wrinkles or crows feet and her face still looked tight.
Ray J surrounded by women (as usual)
But when you date a man nearly two decades your junior, it will convince you that you need plastic surgery, even when you do not. It will convince you that you need a face lift, lip injections, botox, breast implants, butt tightening and butt silicone injections.
Before long you'll look like Frankenstein. Being in Hollywood makes it worse, where even women in their twenties like Megan Fox and Heidi Montag are damaging their looks with excessive plastic surgery. Hollywood destroys people's self-image into a look that is not often better than what they had before.

Another interesting point of the interview was that Houston daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, showed is trying to persevere through grief. However, talking to a deceased loved one is not a great idea, as the Bible says people are not to communicate with the dead. Emotionally, it also delays achieving closure.
Bobbi Kristina Brown also confirmed items the Judiciary Report wrote about her intent to pursue a singing and acting career. She stated in the interview with Winfrey that she seeks to carry on her mother's legacy. Just so long as she does not put too much pressure on herself or tries to become her mother, which is what some in the industry expect of her. God made everyone unique. Be your own person, not who they will try to make you into - Whitney Houston part 2.
Troubling reports have surfaced indicating the late singer, Whitney Houston, who battled drug and alcohol addiction, shared the same drug dealer with her 18-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown. Houston, who died last month at age 48, had an addiction to crack cocaine, which she smoked with marijuana, in addiction to alcohol issues.
Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, was photographed on different occasions smoking marijuana at age 15 and snorting cocaine off a plate at 17. The young Brown has also been pictured drinking very strong alcohol at age 17. The Judiciary Report hopes Bobbi Kristina will get on a path to sobriety and remain on it indefinitely. There are so many positive things she could do with her life and drugs and alcohol will hinder them.
Talk show host Oprah Winfrey is preparing to air an interview with the family of the late Whitney Houston, who died last month in California, under tragic circumstances. Houston previously spoke with Winfrey about her drug problems in 2009. However, questions linger about the insobriety of Houston and her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, as both have been the subject of compromising pictures regarding drug paraphernalia.
Whitney Houston
Will Winfrey ask Bobbi Kristina Brown the difficult questions, considering she is a young woman of 18, who is grieving the death of her beloved mother. If she asks her anything too probing or embarrassing and the wrong way, it could backfire.

However, as they have consented to an interview, this would be a chance for them to clear the air. Let's be honest, there are things regarding the Houston/Brown family the public has questions about, especially after the flood of stories that accompanied the singer's mysterious death and drama filled funeral, thanks to ex-husband Bobby Brown storming out. Among them are:
Was Houston still on drugs, if not when did she quit?
Is Bobbi Kristina Brown still on drugs, if not when did she quit?
Is Bobby Brown still on drugs, if not when did she quit?
Does the family really believe Houston was murdered as recent reports allegedly from the coroner's office claim?
Is Cissy Houston still angry with Brown regarding his destructive habits that wreaked havoc on her award winning daughter and does she blame him for her child's death?
Was it true that Houston was buried with $500,000 in jewelry?
Can the estate afford to guard Houston's body indefinitely with the $500,000 in jewelry, rather than moving her to a private, sealed mausoleum, where all the crypts are better monitored?
Are Houston's former assistant's recent allegations true about her being lovelorn and depressed over their lesbian relationship, because the singer seemed oblivious to it?
Was Houston broke at the time of her death, after suffering tell-tale foreclosures in Georgia and New Jersey?
What exactly was said to Bobby Brown at Houston's funeral regarding moving from where he sat that caused him to storm out of the funeral and does he regret it?
Are Bobbi Kristina Brown and her dad on bad terms as publications indicate?
Is Bobbi Kristina Brown still going to pursue and acting and singing career?
Was Houston's adopted son really ordered to leave the family's home in Atlanta, Georgia?
Was rapper Ray-J with Houston the day she died and did his womanizing in the week leading up to her death send her into a greater depression?
R&B singer, Bobby Brown, is cashing in on the sudden death of his ex-wife, Whitney Houston, who generously supported him for much of their 14-year marriage, which ended in divorce 5-years ago. Houston stated Brown spat in her face and hit her more than once during their marriage, prompting her to flee her own home, with her daughter in tow.

Brown also repeatedly cheated on Houston with different women, which she went public with after their divorce. In all of that heartbreak, Houston never did a tell-all. Yet, this is Brown's second attempt at doing so, to score a payday, after blowing through his $20,000,000 fortune.
Bobby Brown
Under the circumstances, it is not appropriate that Brown write a tell-all. He deeply hurt her in life and is damaging her name in death as well. Houston stopped the first tell-all a few years ago, after several pages of it were leaked online by Brown. Now that she has died, who will address the next one.
Record companies seek to sign Whitney Houston's daughter to a lucrative record deal. They are hoping to recreate Houston's stellar success through her daughter, which is way too much pressure to put on the 18-year-old, who is still grieving her mother's sudden passing last month. Brown can sing and dance. Informal clips surfaced of her singing, as well as a few recordings she did with her mother.
Bobbi Kristina Brown
Under U.S. law, Brown is of age and can make her own decisions, but grandmother, gospel singer Cissy Houston, who obtained a record deal for her late daughter may object. She will be reluctant to allow Bobbi Kristina, the only part left of Whitney, her only daughter, to fall into the same industry trap that proved so detrimental and destructive to her child. Brown is also struggling with substance abuse issues and placing her in the heart of Hollywood would spell trouble.
The National Enquirer is at it again. The tabloid has made a consistent habit of exposing the late Whitney Houston and her family. This time they have taken aim again at Houston's daughter, 18-year-old Bobbi Kristina Brown. Previously, they published photos of the young Brown snorting cocaine in an apartment, after one of her friends sold her out. This week they have done it again, publishing photos of her taken a year ago, allegedly smoking weed from a bong and drinking vodka.
Bobbi Kristina Brown
Last month they deceitfully published photos of Houston in her casket, which caused an uproar. According to Radar Online, Whitney's mother, Cissy Houston, has asked police to investigate the incident. Once again, Bobbi Kristina needs better friends. If they cared about her, they would encourage her to go to rehab, not take photos of her in a state of insobriety, to sell to the tabloids. Hopefully these negatives that have happened via the Enquirer, will encourage her to go into rehab for drug and alcohol abuse.
Bobbi Brown and his children from other relationships than his marriage to Houston
A lawyer for the Houston family has come out swinging against Bobby Brown and his dramatic behavior at the funeral of his late wife, legendary singer, Whitney Houston. Attorney Mark Trigg stated Brown, sans his the entourage, was supposed to sit where he was assigned and not approach his daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, allowing her to do so if she felt up to it. Trigg stated, "We had a number of discussions prior to the service, and a very clear understanding as to exactly what was suppose to take place at the service.”

Trigg indicates Brown violated the agreement, then made such a scene, the drama made it onto the airwaves and internet. Brown really should have put his family first and swallowed his pride. He should have had an understanding of his former mother-in-law's anger and that of his child, Bobbi Kristina Brown, as the divorce between he and Houston was not an amicable one. Houston fled her mansion with her child, when Brown, engaging in domestic violence, mental abuse and massive drug use, refused to leave the property.

The late singer's mother, Cissy Houston, holds Brown responsible for the horrible downward spiral her daughter and granddaughter fell victim to, being present in a household with aggressive, daily drug use, where he was the main perpetrator. Cissy Houston is angry, as her prized daughter has died and was not a raging drug addict before she married Brown. She had problems, but nothing like what unfolded and developed when she got married.

Men, you have to guide your families and not down the path of addiction and destruction. You have to stand up and set an example. Get clean and sober and help your addicted family members as well. Drugs are not okay - they shorten lives and tear families apart.
There are fears this week for the well being of Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, in the wake of her mother's death this month. She has returned to the Atlanta townhouse she shared with her mom, after the family's mansion in the Country Club of the South went into foreclosure and was sold.

According to Hollywood Life, Brown is living unsupervised in the townhome and neighbors snitched that she was known to be a "party animal" who liked to have "sex in the clubhouse." Houston also had an adopted a son, who is in the same age group as Brown and was living with the family in Atlanta, a town the family loves.
Whitney Houston
Bobbi Kristina needs to remember that during difficult times, she must not turn to destructive vices in attempts to quell the pain. It is better to do positive things that would make her mother proud, but also remember she is her own person and does not need to live up to the world's expectations in trying to make her Whitney Houston part two. She has her own life to live and the best way to honor her mom would be to live a good, clean, honest and most of all Godly life, free from drug and alcohol abuse.

No human is perfect. Her mom made some choices that turned out to be detrimental, as they negatively impacted her health and life, cutting it short. However, she would want better for her daughter, who has a chance to shed those vices and addictions and should give it her all in doing so.

The late Whitney Houston, was prepping her 18-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, for a career in Hollywood, as an actress and singer. The plan was for her to follow in her mother's formidable footsteps. However, with the death of Houston this month, will young Brown go ahead with those plans, in light of the fact Hollywood and its vices helped to send her mom to an early grave.

Houston was an exceptional entertainer and enjoyed massive commercial success with her endeavors, but due to the industry pulling her in different directions, she developed drug and alcohol addictions, her daughter also struggles with. Will this deter Brown from pursing a career in entertainment.
