Headline: Whitney Houston Dead
Sadly, Whitney Houston passed away today. Her publicist announced the news but with few details – no cause of death has been announced – not even her whereabouts at the time.
After tearing up the charts in the 80s with her unbelievable vocal range she dabbled in acting. She broke in to the biz with a bang in 1992 along side Kevin Costner in The Bodyguard and went on to appear in three other films by 1997. Around the same time her success took a turn for the worse during her rocky marriage to Bobby Brown and the couples’ reported drug fueled relationship.
But things had been looking up since 2007 after she was officially divorced from Brown. In 2009 she released the album, “I Look To You” which entered Billboard at #1 – the first time since her Bodyguard release. After coming clean with Oprah she went out on tour and was even slated for a film comeback.
Whitney is still the world’s most awarded female act of all time.
