Police Called To Pat Houston’s House Following Suicide Scare

Posted on March 26, 2013

Pat Houston could use a good nap.

Whitney Houston’s sister-in-law posted a Facebook status update that led family members to believe she was suicidal on Tuesday (March 26), writing ”Sometimes you just feel like giving up on life and its many challenges. And for the first time in my life . . . I’m tired . . . and I want to finally rest. I love you guys.”

Sounds like the opening seconds on ‘Life After Death’ to me.

Sources tell TMZ that after reading her cryptic message, several of Pat’s family members went to her Alpharetta, Georgia home and found her passed out in bed with a pill bottle nearby.

They called 911 and when paramedics rushed over she woke up and told her family it was a misunderstanding.

Pat explained to police that she had taken pain medication for her back and gone to sleep. She turned off her phone, completely unaware that loved ones were attempting to contact her. She was taken to a nearby hospital as a precaution and was released a short time later.

‘Sparkle’ Stars Remember Whitney Houston

Posted on August 14, 2012

Singer/actress Jordin Sparks will make her big screen debut this Friday in ‘Sparkle’, starring alongside the late Whitney Houston in her final starring role. For Sparks, working with the iconic singer was a dream come true but learning her death was an absolute nightmare.

“Whitney’s gone,” Sparks recalls. “I lost all feeling. I couldn’t move, I couldn’t say anything. I don’t think I was breathing. I still have moments where it hits me and it’s like, she;s not here. There’s this void.”

‘Sparkle’ casts Houston as mother of three singing daughters trying to make it in 1960′s Motown. Tika Sumpter and Carmen Ejogo round out the talented trio.

It’s been six months since her passing, but for her co-stars, Houston’s legacy lives on.

“Whitney seems like she’s one of the people to be real with, not ‘Hollywood.” Mike Epps told Celebuzz. “I would talk to her about real stuff, life.”
