Whitney Houston Has Passed Away At The Age of 48
The Associated Press is reporting that Whitney Houston has joined Amy Winehouse in Heaven's ultimate girl group in the sky. Whitney's rep confirms that she passed away this afternoon, but didn't give anymore details. I will write more as soon as I can write more words than: SHOW ME THE RECEIPTS, JESUS!
Okay, I'm back and I still can't believe it. When this first came up on my inbox, I thought it was a hoax and then when I read that her rep confirmed it, I had goosebumps on my nails. Whitney was out with Ray-J the other night and her situation didn't look good, but I didn't think things were that bad. Whitney just shot the remake of Sparkle and I thought she was going to have a huge comeback. I thought she was going to outlive Bobb-aaaay B and everybody else. I was beyond wrong.
TMZ says that Whitney died at the Beverly Hills Hotel this afternoon. It was initially reported that Ray-J is the one who found Whitney in her hotel room, but that's not true. The paramedics were already at the hotel on an unrelated call, so they got to Whitney within minutes after somebody called 911. They tried to bring her back by giving her CPR, but it didn't work and she was pronounced dead at 3:55pm. Both Cissy Houston and Dionne Warwick spoke with Whitney before she died and said she seemed fine.
Whitney is survived by her daughter Bobbi Kristina.
There's really nothing for me to say except that this is really fucking sad. Whitney was all talent and she when she wasn't entertaining us with her voice, she was giving us gems like "Show me the receipts" (Which I use at least twice a day, right?) and "Hell to the no." This is just sad. The Grammys better scrap all of tomorrow night's show and give us a Whitney tribute starring only Dionne Warwick. The only person I want to hear from right now is Cousin Dionne.
Rest in peace, Whitney.

Agreed. I like Migraineuse, although I don't always agree with everything she says. I don't think she's a troll, and she's a thoughtful, considerate poster.
The thing with the trolls is that (as someone else said) they will sometimes post something worth reading. That's what kills me about them.
Now her poor mother whom she tortured for years like the true narcissist she was will not be waiting for the phone call any longer. Whitney was born into the business. Songs were written for her to sing. She had it all and chose to act like a getto whore. Her mother did not speak in that getto voice she had. She thought that was cool. She wanted to be all street. She died all street with her drug dealer fleeing the room 20 minutes before she was found I'm reading. Lovely.
with all due respect to Whitney's memory and family , must LL Cool J lick his lips mid eulogy ?

Boston, its OBVIOUS that you dont have kids. I am sure EVERY PARENT on this board had their kid knock on their door before while having sex. They have a fucking radar for moments like that. They do the same when you try to take a shit. If you ever have kids and only try to have sex when your kids are not in your house, you are in for a dry 18 years, my friend.
Ha thats the truth.
and my youngest had night terrors so it's only the last year that he's been out of our room at night, So we had a 5 year dry run pretty much.
I'm not going to have sex with a little one screaming and crying on the other side of the door.So we just sucked it up (or not sucked in this case)and quit and let him in.
But just this morning we locked the bedroom door, and sure enough my 6 year old woke up and wanted in. How do they know!
And pooping? They ALWAYS know and also have to go.
My go to phrase is "We're getting dressed!" which gives us about 5 minutes to finish up. Or I get to bellow "We're STILL getting dressed"
Haha whats funny is my 16 year old recently realized what "getting dressed" really means.
His groan of disgust always makes me snicker
Hotmami, I know you are not paying any attention at that dipshit! I am tempted to reply too, but won't bother.
Don't understand people who take the time to go and post offensive shit about someone they don't even like... wait a minute, unless they're trying to get a rise out of others... ah, ok, in that case, IGNORE!!!

Sort of a backhanded compliment, but a nice thing I heard about Whitney after her death was on CNN...that she deserved better music than she sang. Her voice was bigger than the pop she sange and that she should have sang more complex songs to bring justice to her extraordinary voice. I have a soft spot for her because one of the first cassettes I ever bought as a kid was hers. I never would have guessed she would succumb so relatively young.
Hotmami
You don't have sex while you kid is banging on the door an knows that you are having sex. Her poor daughter. So sad. And her scumbag father has already knocked up another woman. This poor girl.
So I guess that's a no to The Bodyguard 2?
Whitney's daughter was rushed to the hospital about 2 hours ago. It's being rumoroured that she tried to commit suicide. Officially she had a nervous breakdown.

Tonic, I know. Once in a great while Gaza Strip will say something worth reading BUT mostly he/she just goes batty with RIP pieces. Maybe somebody killed his/her hamster when they were a child and someone told it to RIP. Now, this just brings back bad memories. Dunno but I just ignore and dont give shim fuel for it's fire.
GG, I don't know why people engage it, either. I guess when it's nice they let it go. Stupid.

Speaking of trolls, I have to say that Gaza Strip is more fucking annoying than Angela and her 3,223,666 personalities combined. The only thing I ever see that imbecile post is to bitch about people posting RIP on DEATH THREADS that it claims to hate. Seriously, how bad does your life have to suck to troll death threads on dlisted? Loser.

A human with long term drug issues has passed away. Sad, but it happens around the world, every day, many times. WH just happened to be famous.
I'll save my sympathy for a regular person that died somewhere in the world yesterday...don't know the person's name, where they lived, their race, etc...but this person, whoever they were, was a great friend to those who knew them; this person helped others, was humble, made those around them feel loved, valued. This person may not have been good looking, or had any remarkable talent except for perhaps being able to fix a car or bake a great pie...but this person left the world a better place, they were admired and loved by those that knew them. I'll choose to honor this person today.

I think doing the WW commercials was a big mistake for JHud because people seem to have forgotten that trick can SING. She has an academy award for it (it wasn't the acting). I think she will be great and she is less likely to butcher the song with trills and runs that don't belong in it (*side eye Christina*).
Although I'd love to see Dolly do I will Always Love You.

Chaka Khan is supposed to sing a tribute to her tonite...but so is JHud. Chaka...cool...JHud...no thank you.
Should just leave the professionals to it. JHud should stay with Weight Watchers.
--------------------------------------
I don't know. I look at it this way - they only had 24 hours to put the tribute together. Because it's the Grammys, they were going to force a "young" singer in there somehow. Better Jennifer Hudson than Beyonce or Rihanna.

Whitney was a woman battling demons. That does not make her a scumbag. She made some shitty life choices. THAT does not make her a scumbag.

Whitney and Bobbi where two peas in a pod. Two people who love the getto. Two junkies who were perfectly suited for each other. Marketing created her false image. The question how did her very classy Mom raise such a daughter? I feel so bad for her Mother. Sad.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Do you have any children? I suspect not. Let me break it down for you. Some kids, regardless of their parenting, are born this way. That is to say, they lie, cheat, manipulate, steal, do drugs, have abortions and promiscuous sex for reasons that the parents cannot fathom. Perhaps there's brain damage causing mental illness, sociopathy - who knows? Don't ask how the mother could've raised a 'daughter like this'. Don't judge or blame. Sometimes it just IS. I too feel bad for the families out there who have to live with a drug addict in their midst. It's depressing beyond description.

If you don't care about Whitney being dead, boston, I hope you at least have some sympathy for her daughter.
But you are a complete dick, so I doubt it.
Whitney was black AND a woman; it's too much for him to handle.
This is so fucking sad. With Amy, you were waiting for it.. but Whitney.. we grew up listening to her. We needed her to come back. She defined superstar diva for us.
Before drugs ravaged her, Whitney was incomparable.

"Bye, Whore" -MK
Do you mean her daughter Bobbi whom she locked out of her bedroom so she could have F@cky time with her scum bag husband on the show? Poor Bobbi had a scum bag for a mother. That is abusive.
"Were you raised by hound dogs in Appalachia??????????"
nope. but i was born in a cross-fire hurricane if that counts.
When she was just starting out, Whitney did some Diet Coke commercials.
My son was a toddler and as soon as he would hear the first notes of that music, he would trot as fast as he could to the TV to watch her sing. He's 26 now - she was so young then.
Surprising, but not surprising.
And people ought to stop blamin' Bobby. She picked him.
At last the site is back up! Dlisted is HOT. It was the first site I came to when I heard that Whitney had died and that was RIGHT after she died. The bastard has been down (for me anyway) from then 'til now LOL
Anyway, I just wanted to add that the world has lost a great talent. Whitney suffered from depression pretty much her whole life. Her condition is clearly apparent in scenes from 'Being Bobby Brown'. Thankfully Whitney left us 'The Bodyguard' because the music from that movie will serve as her primary legacy IMO. What a sad ending. Whitney was a very complex lady with serious issues not unlike Michael Jackson.
Had you been asked back in the day who would be most likely to die of drug abuse: Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson or Madonna who would you have picked?

Let the church say amen.
RIP Whitney -- your voice was the soundtrack of my 20s and 30s, and i will cherish it. i hope the cautionary tale of her life somehow helps someone, somewhere gain strength in their fight against addiction. don't give in like she did.
re: Clive Davis -- i think you can split the difference. i read that he came to the party, read a prepared statement, then went back to his room/bungalow. He lives at the hotel when in BH.
re: Bobby Brown -- it still amazes me that people are stuck on the notion that he "turned her out." they got together in 90 or 91, the baby was born in 91 or 92, he started getting arrested in 93 or 94. and, agree with the "masters of your own domain" comments. no one can turn you into an addict unless you are already inclined to be one due to genetics or by circumstances
Jennifer Hudson better do you some justice tonight.

@boston61 - so you don't celebrate the achievements and supreme talent of someone when they pass away, just because they're an addict? Regardless of their station in life even or the elecution?
wow, you're harsh man.
Just because Whitney could sing (and was born into the business) does not mean she was not kind of a jerk. I cannot remember ever hearing her speak (except in movies) where she did not sound like a low class idiot. Agree, let's mourn all the kind and decent people who died yesterday. This woman never appreciated the great luck she had in life. How she made her poor mother suffer for many many years.

Ok! Understood, with ya so far. I get being angry at drug use but there are others here who are fans of Whitney and who wish to grieve her passing, famous or not. Nothing wrong with that either! One can grieve however they wish!

Did I miss a 17 page rebuttal by Boredasfuckyo about how she has no sympathy for Whitney because she was a drug addict and people who drink/do drugs fucking suck/they chose to live that way?? I haven't read back but she was over the top trollish on the Amy Winehouse thread about how she "didn't give a fuck" and "she deserved it" arguing for pages and pages and pages. Oh, but we are supposed to empathise with her issues that she puts out there about her mental health. People self medicate for many reasons and while addicts are no saints some of them are truly broken as people and are completely lost. It's not a black/white issue of people who drink/use drugs are automatically bad. I'm not saying it is an excuse but there are many complicated issues regarding substance abuse and sometimes mental illness. And I am not saying everyone who is an addict has mental health issues but quite a few do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Precisely!
It's as if some people have the inability to tell the difference between a bad person and a drug addict. I mean yeah, she was messed up on drugs for a pretty long time and her career and voice suffered but does that make it ok for someone to say I don't give a fuck that she's dead? She didn't kill anyone, she wasn't known for being a liar, manipulator, deceiver, thief, etc....she was just a person battling demons and how ruthless of someone to be happy at he death because of that. Some major dickweeds up in here....
