It’s truly scary when Bobby Brown is coming off as the sane, responsible one….
This is really tragic.
Whitney could have been the biggest thing in show business.
Beautiful, an amazing singer, on her way to becoming a very good actress…
Then Crack…
And she’s turning out to be more Judy Garland than Barbra Streisand…
So sad to think of what might have been….
Singer Whitney Houston was using crack again when she went back to rehab, RadarOnline had learned, and her use of the highly-addictive drug terrified even ex-husband Bobby Brown!
A source close to R&B star Brown said he is so worried about his ex-wife that he fears “she might not pull through.”
“Whitney is doing crack again,” the source said about the 47-year-old Houston, the singer of top 1990s hits like I’ll Always Love You. “It’s the worst it’s ever been. Whitney went on tour again, and that’s when the relapse occurred.”
Brown, 42, has also told friends that Houston, 47, has increasingly isolated herself.
“Whitney’s shutting a lot of people out of her life,” the source said. “It is a dire situation.”
Bobby and Whitney were married for 14 years and were officially divorced in 2007. Both have a history of substance abuse. Their 18-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina, was recently caught on camera snorting lines of cocaine.

Is anyone surprised?
Helgenberger was asked if Bieber’s role was written just to raise sagging ratings, or because the singer is “truly a good actor.”
The 52-year-old actress rolled her eyes and said, “Justin Bieber wasn’t bad bad. But he’d never acted before … He’s better than you’d think.”
Helgenberger then said, “I shouldn’t be saying this, but he was kind of a brat.”
She seemed to backtrack a bit by saying, “I only had one small part (with Bieber) … he was very nice to me.”
But then Helgenberger gave her reason on why she had such a low opinion of the ‘Baby’ singer: “But he locked one of the producers in a closet and he put his fist through a cake that was on the cast’s table.”

And she may be talented enough to also pull this one off….
After seeing her amazing performance in “The Color Purple” on stage, I bet she can do it…..
I hope some of these movies I’m reading about come to fruition. There sure haven’t been many good ones lately….
I’ve only seen two in the past couple of months….”Source Code” was lame, but “Limitless” was pretty good…
Still, nothing else out there on the movie horizon that is very exciting….
Fantasia Barrino has had her problems over the past year, but unintentional weight gain is not one of them.
The “American Idol” winner has been seen with extra pounds of late, but she says it’s on purpose — she’s getting into character for a new movie, in which she’ll star as gospel singer Mahalia Jackson.
“In fact, she’s just signed on to play the lead in Mahalia and has been told to gain 30 to 45 pounds for the role,” her rep told RadarOnline.com.
