Its time for another walk down memory lane.
See my previous rant about Whitney and George Michael
It seems that Whitney Houston has cleaned up her act and kicked Bobby Brown to the curb.
I can hear some of you now.
Who cares?
I have been an obsessed fan of Whitney’s for years. My brother will vouch for this, I tortured him all through his adolescents by making him listen to various Whitney albums. Surprisingly enough he still speaks to me.
It’s been a busy couple of days for Whitney, first there was the announcement that she has begun working on a new album with Clive Davis. He was the man who discovered her in the early 80’s and launched her career.
Then last night Whitney made a rare public appearance at an awards show for Johnny Mathis. Considering all the “rumored” drug problems she has battled over the years and scary photos that have surfaced, she was looking pretty good.
I really hope that this sudden whirlwind of news means that she’s got her life in order and is trying to make a comeback.
If you are hopelessly addicted like I am, here is a link to the Official Whitney fan site. It isn’t updated very regularly anymore, but maybe that will change. The message boards can be interesting.
