Pop diva Whitney Houston is reportedly hooked on crack and spiralling hopelessly out of control, according to an exclusive online report by Victoria Newton in The Sun. Pictures obtained by Britain’s biggest-selling newspaper are believed to show Houston, 42 and mother to 13-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina, looking “haggard, with dark circles under her eyes and a deranged look on her face”.Shots of the singer’s bathroom also reveal signs of heavy drug use, with assorted drug paraphernalia “including a crack-smoking pipe, rolling papers, cocaine-caked spoons and cigarette ends are strewn across the surface tops”, the report said. The bathroom photograph was allegedly taken by Whitney’s sister-in-law, Tina Brown, at the home Whitney Houston shares with her singer husband Bobby Brown in Atlanta, Georgia.

Ms Brown told The Sun: “The truth needs to come out. Whitney won’t stay off the drugs. It’s every single day. It’s so ugly. Everyone is so scared she is going to overdose.” According to Ms Brown, Houston “regularly disappears for days and weeks at a time”. Other times, Houston spends days locked in her bedroom, piled high with rubbish. Tina, 42, told The Sun: “She’ll point to the floor and say, ‘See that demon. I’m telling you somebody’s messing with Bobby’. She always thinks it’s something to do with Bobby. But it’s her, hitting herself … She breaks everything – mirrors, phones, cabinets, appliances.” (continue reading) Thanks Bryant!
