You're f*cking despicable.

*BubblyShell22* · 02-12-2012, 04:04 PM

You mean the one who went on that one awards show and asked, "Do you like my body?" Yeah, she's dead. I never liked her anyway.

As for Whitney, I also thought she had cleaned up her act, but even if she did, it still could've done damage, and she just died suddenly.

Celebrities dying young isn't a novelty. Jimi Herndrix, Janis Joplin, Keith Moon, Rudolph Valentino, just off the top of my head. Many but not all died of drugs or alcohol. Rudolph Valentino died of illness while in the hospital, probably from a hospital infection or bad treatment.

Anna Nicole Smith died in 2007. "Accidental" drug overdose

SherlockJr · 02-12-2012, 07:14 PM

Even though I've never been a fan (or a hater, for that matter) it made me very sad to find she had died.

Probably a victim of drug overdose.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 02-12-2012, 09:11 PM

RIP Whitney. May she at last find the peace in the afterlife she didn't find amonst the living

You can't accidentally overdose on something you shouldn't put in your body in the first place, there's nothing "accidental" about it, the body decides it's had enough and shuts down. People frequently "overdose" and die from much smaller dosages of narcotics than they consume on a regular basis. I don't even like the term "overdose" used as a cause of death, it sends the message that "just a little" is somehow "safe", and that's how everyone starts on that **** in the first place.

I love how some people are already starting with the tributes and blah blah, as if anyone would care if she wasn't famous. Someone wins a beauty pageant or a high school talent show, people tell them they're amazing, someone puts 'em on TV and gives 'em a million dollars, and suddenly they're no longer a "mere mortal". They're godly, infallible, and can do whatever they like because they have a "talent". And when they do something stupid and die it's a "tragedy" instead of slow-motion suicide. Whateeeever.

My thoughts on people who die from drugs are pretty well-known by now. Know better, don't be stupid, be better, etc. etc.

Celebrity deaths are also selective. If Whitney Houston had been a professional wrestler who overdosed, it would automatically be assumed to be steroids and everyone would be decrying the industry...

exactly right

*Katie* · 02-13-2012, 06:23 AM

Wow. So much anger.

The prevailing theory is that she took a Xanax (which she apparently did have a valid perscription for......it's an anxiety drug.....she was headed to a crowded party....not a scenario that would raise a red flag if you took an anti anxiety med.) Then went to take a bath, fell asleep, and drowned in the tub. One Xanax would be enough to make you sleepy.

Just because the media paints pictures of a still on crack Whitney doesn't make it true.

*BubblyShell22* · 02-13-2012, 07:25 AM

Well, until the autopsy results are conclusive, we won't know for sure. But if she did take a Xanax, I can't understand why she'd go into a bathtub to take a bath. Why didn't she just lie down in bed?

The Grammys did a tribute to her that was really heartfelt. I agree about the drug thing, Leo, but it's still sad because she was an amazing singer. I'm really sad for her daughter. Mom had heard that they wouldn't let her in to see her mother and that she was cursing and demanding to see her. It just breaks my heart to hear something like that.

papa_smurf73 · 02-13-2012, 08:33 AM

Whoa. Just read all these replies. I didn't do a good job of conveying this, but my intention was more so to say it bums me out to hear these things, regardless of who it happens to (celeb or not).

And there it is.

RIP Whitney.

Latest report: she had both alcohol and prescription drugs in her system.

I really hope it wasn't deliberate suicide.

*BubblyShell22* · 02-13-2012, 04:16 PM

Yeah, I agree. How could you do that to your daughter?

Sword Slicin' Leo · 02-13-2012, 04:16 PM

how can anyobe be shocked over this?? she's been on more rocks than cliffhanger..oh well... she wasted her own life

that would be tragic for sure

clanmalkav · 02-13-2012, 07:45 PM

There's no denying she brought on an early death, but still, RIP.

*BubblyShell22* · 02-14-2012, 07:33 AM

Yes, and that's the tragedy of it. The fact that she pretty much killed herself by consuming those things and leaving a daughter without a mother.
