Houston We Have A Problem

6:26 PM EST on February 3, 2005

R&B singer Houston (who had a hit last year with "I Like That") tried to jump out a hotel window yesterday. Security prevented the suicide attempt and locked him in a room where he GOUGED HIS EYE OUT.

MTV.com reports that Bushwick Bill of rap group the Geto Boys felt compelled to speak out:

In 1991, Bill forced his girlfriend to assist him in a suicide attempt, and she shot him in the eye. "Fame will make you crazy," Bill said in a statement. "It isn't for everybody."

So if you thought shit like this only happened in '80s afterschool specials about PCP, think again. Here is the extremely gross photo of Houston's eye.
