Believe it or Not

So we're taught not to believe everything we read, especially in tabloids like the National Enquirer. Well, here's one you can believe. Whitney Houston's drug binge. Crack is not too cheap for her now. It's actually painful to think of anyone, much less someone who once had it all, to be locked in a bathroom smoking crack. Several people have said that they've cried at hearing this news, especially people who know it's true. Whitney doesn't need to be the butt of jokes at this point, she needs prayer and help and intervention and water and food and a smack upside the head. But this is just my diagnosis.

The story broke in a London paper and EURWeb covered it with this synopsis:

Whitney HoustonÂ’s crack use has hit a new low, according to her sister-in-law Tina Brown. She says the singer hits the pipe every day, uses sex toys to satisfy herself and has all but forgotten about personal hygiene.

I wonder what using sex toys to sastify yourself has to do with being on drugs. Sounds like a sign of sanity to me. But they say that Bobby's sister Tina broke this story to the media, while the family tried to keep it under wraps. She took a picture of the bathroom that Whitney is held up in and claims that she even put a hole in the wall to keep an eye on the house.

I think the craziest thing I heard in this is, well, the hole in the wall is pretty stupid sounding, but the sister-in-law says that she buys and smokes entire 8 balls mixed with weed and smokes them in one blunt! Um, I'm not really up on the crack game, but I do listen to hip hop. And the little I do know is that 8 balls (A crack expert recently told me, an 8-ball is one-eighth of an ounce (3.5 grams)) aren't to be consumed by one person at one sitting. It's really heartbreaking news and I do hope someone is doing something at that a media embarassment isn't what makes them take action. Now I'm wondering how Bobby Brown can be touring the country and making an album while this is going on at home?

This report makes other "rumors" easier to understand. The media said that Bobbi Christina was living with someone else. What will be interesting is to see how the "Being Bobby Brown" handles this situation, they're filming a second season.
