New Drug Queen

"[Photos] show the disgusting mess in the singer's bathroom after a drug binge. Drug paraphernalia including a crack-smoking pipe, rolling papers, cocaine-caked spoons and cigarette ends are strewn across the surface tops. ... Regularly disappears for days and weeks at a time — holed up in seedy crack dens in dangerous parts of town."

Pete Doherty? Guess again.

And suddenly, her "Crack is whack!" statement is on repeat in my head right now.

Whitney was the first artist I ever saw in concert, sometime in 1987 or '88. Kenny G opened for her. (I was twelve, OK?)

I always thought it was weird that "Being Bobby Brown" was focused on Bobby, when Whitney was definitely the bigger star back in the day. I guess the way she went from pop diva to the cover of _Crack Whore_ magazine is more sad than entertaining.

Man. That is seriously one of the saddest articles I've read in awhile. That shit is heart breaking.

That picture makes her look like the crackhead from Chappelle's show.

"There the woman who co-starred with Kevin Costner in the 1992 hit movie The Bodyguard smokes crack, uses sex toys to satisfy herself and ignores personal hygiene"

Great journalism construct great lines.

agreed:

"There the woman who co-starred with Kevin Costner in the 1992 hit movie The Bodyguard smokes crack, uses sex toys to satisfy herself and ignores personal hygiene."

what the hell does using sex toys have to do with any of this?
and, yeah...it is all kinda sad.

As to the listing of sex toys; Well, same way that sitting watching TV isn't inherently decadent (well, for the sake of argument lets agree there for a sec), but if a person just sits inside all day without human contact, then the watching TV is part of a larger list of symptoms and would likely be listed in any attempt to describe the state of that person.

Please tell me you're all kidding. The Sun is no different from the National Enquirer. The reason for the bad journalism is because it wouldn't be written by a journalist. That picture could easily be someone else with a wig, too. They're gonna have to do better than that.
