Ok, here we go again with another National Enquirer story, but sometimes they know what’s up before everyone else.

According to Ann Davis, a family friend, Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston’s 15 year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina, got into an argument with her mother a few days before her 15th birthday (March 4th) and it got ugly.  Real ugly.

She apparently tried to stab her mother with a razor before slashing her own wrists. The incident landed her in an Atlanta psychiatric ward.

Since Bobby and Whitney have split, Bobbi has been living with her mother, much to her dismay.

That poor girl has probably seen a lot of crazy sh*t over the years. Unfortunately, she too, will probably end up with a drug problem…

“Whitney Houston is back! I’m thrilled that she’s in the studio and working on her new album. No doubt she’s overcoming everything that has been put in front of her even this week.”

Bobby Brown’s new autobiography takes punches at his ex-wife Whitney Houston, claiming he never did cocaine until he met her and that she married him for the wrong reasons.

The book, “Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But,” hits shelves next month.

In it Bobby says, “I never used cocaine until after I met Whitney. Before then, I had experimented with other drugs, but marijuana was my drug of choice. . .At one point in my life, I used drugs uncontrollably. I was using everything I could get my hands on, from cocaine to heroin, weed and cooked cocaine.”

Bobby says his marriage with Houston “was doomed from the very beginning. Within the first year we separated, with several more to follow. . .I think we got married for all the wrong reasons. Now, I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married. . .I believe her agenda was to clean up her image, while mine was to be loved and have children.”

He adds that Whitney was under “a lot of pressure,” at the time of their marriage.

“The media was accusing her of having a bisexual relationship with her assistant, Robin Crawford. Since she was the American Sweetheart and all, that didn’t go too well with her image . . . In Whitney’s situation, the only solution was to get married and have kids. That would kill all speculation, whether it was true or not. In the short, I think I got caught up in the politics and ended up marrying one of the biggest stars in the world.”

Brown also admits in the book to some wrongdoing. Mostly his infidelities. “I am guilty of sleeping with other women. . .Women are always throwing themselves at you. I’m only human, so I would make the mistake and bite the hook sometimes. . .I let the testosterone take over.”

It’s all Whitney’s fault! It’s all the testosterones fault!

Whatever dude. Face it, you would have been a basehead with or without Whitney. I think it was probably a very mutual thing. Both of them have addictive personalities and were co-dependent for a long time.

Bobby’s trying his damnedest to get his career rolling again with reality shows, books and *snicker* country music, but it’s not working.

The crackhead in him will be back. Trust.

After a long hiatus from entertaining, Whitney Houston is set to perform for a charity event in May.

The recovering drug-addict diva will sing at the Caudwell Children’s Legend Ball at Battersea Evolution in London on May 8th.

Charity founder John Caudwell said, “We are thrilled to have an artist of Whitney’s caliber to headline the event. Last year was a huge success and with Whitney’s support, we are fully expecting this year’s event to be bigger and better than ever.”

Houston’s big comeback album will be released in November, and Clive Davis has confirmed that five songs are already completed.

Right on Whitney. She seemed like such a hopeless case a couple years ago. Sort of like Amy Winehouse these days. Blake is to Amy as Bobby was to Whitney.

It took years, but Whitney finally got away from that cancer of a husband and lived through the experience. She is on track to make an amazing comeback. You go girl.

Whitney Houston at Clive Davis‘ Pre-Grammy Party

“Stop the Madness!” a 1985 anti-drug music video starring members of New Edition, LaToya Jackson, a young and fresh Whitney Houston, Nancy Reagan, David Hasselhoff, Kim Fields, Herb Alpert, Casey Kasem, Arnold Schwarzenegger and many others. The music video was all part of Nancy Reagan’s ‘Just Say No’ campaign.

It was obviously quite effective as only half of the people featured in the video didn’t turn into substance abusers. Heh.

Paris, Kathy and Nicky Hilton circa 1987

Ahhh…1987. What a year.

The year Aretha Franklin was the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The Simpsons first appeared on the Tracey Ullman Show, Hustler magazine vs. Falwell was heard in Supreme Court, and Prozac made it’s debut in the United States.

The top song of the year was George Michael’s ‘Faith’, the number one grossing movie of the year was ‘Three Men and a Baby’ and everyone was watching ‘The Cosby Show’ on television.

Here’s a handful of stars who are still around today, twenty years ago..
