You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

What is it about the entertainment industry. Movie stars, tv stars, singers so many of them have all kinds of problems. I was never a big fan of hers, but its sad when anyone one dies at still a young age with so much life ahead of them. Fame and fortune seems like these stars would not have a problem in the world and have everything to live for, but many times they are very unhappy and troubled individuals. R.I.P.Whitney.

I don't know any better, but I thought Whitney was the S%^&, and I blame Bobby Brown for effin her up. In the 80's,Whitney had unusually great pipes, wonderful intonation, and could put a whole lot of energy into a song.

This did not surprise me a bit and I would bet it is drug related.

She was an incredible singer and won many awards and then hit the skids. Sad that we see this pattern for the music industry.

Yep.  She was a fantastic singer at her peak.

I think she took it hard when "people" began to accuse her of "abandoning her black heritage" to become "too white" and as the pendulum swung too far the opposite way, she hooked up with Brown, got hooked and that was all she wrote.

Too bad all 'round.

 I dont find it surprising that a lot of performers have addictions..   get off work late, always around a party... & they are always invited..

 If we were in the situation, and had  a driver, almost all the time.. we got to ask ourselves what we would be doing.. Never being at home, is not always comfortable. Hard to say how we would end up, but I think some of us would do akay, and a few would seriously %^%$ up...

Look at it this way.  These people aren't really any different than anybody else.  People in all walks of life have problems with drugs, alcohol, depression, dying "before" their time, etc.  It's just more public with these well known celebs.  I doubt that celebs have more of "all of these problems" than the general population.
