For all of my N.Y./Metro area neighbors, tonight Ms Houston will appear on a segment of the 10:00 news on UPN Channel 9. It seems as though it will have something to do with her Mother's prayer vigil.

Correction, Whitney's mom Cissy will be on the news. They made a mistake on that.

I thought Whitney was still in rehab. What happened with that?

By Juicefree20 (68.161.49.152) on Monday, April 05, 2004 - 11:34 pm:

She left after 5 days. She's supposed to be following her rehab. They showed a brief snippet of Cissy singing tonight. That woman still has some pipes, she can still blow.

My my. I heard Natalie Cole say that she spent almost a year in rehab to get herself together. It's nice to know that Whitney can be magically cured after only 5 days!

Rodmann - It will be magic if she is clean. She and Bobby washed themselves with holy water, and I know that didn't work. If she is not ready, all the prayers in the world will not help her. It's odd that the prayer visual did not come until after she left rehab. That says something right there.

However, since her mother is doing the highly public prayer, it may publicly shame Whitney, and that may help her see how crucial it is for her to search her own soul and kneel fervantly in prayer.

By Juicefree20 (68.161.49.152) on Tuesday, April 06, 2004 - 12:15 am:

When she realizes that there is no quick, easy rehab,she'll be better off. She has to want to stop, if not, nothing will change. It is a constant battle to keep clean, if she thinks otherwise she's fooling herself. I've never been into drugs, but I know a lot of people who have had that problem. A 5 day cure? The people whom I know have struggled for 5 years or more to maintain sobriety.

I hope that you're right Sis D but I just don't know. Whitney has been being "shamed" in the press for years now and it seems to have not affected her at all. She's already lost her father (who passed before he could see her drugfree) and I'm sure that her daughter has suffered all sorts of humiliation and trauma because her parents (Whitney & Bobby) have continued to make clowns out of themselves in public. Will Whitney have to lose Cissy too (who's getting up there in years) before she finally decides to get her act together? What else is it going to take? I know this is all easier said than done but damn! GET IT TOGETHER GIRL!

Whitney left the rehab facility after 5 days. However, she is still involved in their outpatient program. She is always accompanied by a counselor.

Whitney was also seen at the Beyonce/Alicia Keys concert in Atlanta a few weeks ago.

I don't know if y'all heard, but there is a rumor going around in the wacky world of entertainment that Bobby (said it was his idea) and Whitney are in talks to have their own reality t.v. show. I heard this "rumor" on either ET or Extra last night, or was it CNN Headline News? Anyway, THIS CAN BE VERY INTERESTING, FOLKS!

By Reese (204.152.13.164) on Tuesday, April 06, 2004 - 03:57 pm:

I hope the reality show idea doesn't happen.

When I saw Whitney singing YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A NATURAL WOMAN while accompanying Bobby from court (after he allegedly hit her), I felt sorry for her. I suspect a reality show would probably be filled with similar footage. At this point, neither Whitney or Bobby need a camera crew following them around while they get themselves together. To many, they are already a joke. Most likely, that would be the only reason a network would even buy it.

By bigdaddyg2k4 (205.138.55.54) on Tuesday, April 06, 2004 - 05:15 pm:

Well, Bobby DID say to leave him and Whitney alone to spend some quality time together (he said this was when he left jail in Atlanta, before he got thrown back in jail again in Boston). But I don't know or anybody knows what's really goin' on in the Brown/Houston household these days, besides what they report on t.v. at least.

By Charise (198.81.26.103) on Tuesday, April 06, 2004 - 07:20 pm:

The news MEDIA likes to mislead us and not tell the whole truth! Whitney did check out of the place she was in, but I heard in another report that she checked into another place, because she was not comfortable at the first place. When they first reported it, I was looking at another site and people were talking about her like a dog!
These people did not get the full story! See what I mean about the media. I just pray for her and her family, people need to uplift each other, instead of always kicking each other down everytime someone does not do what we think they should be doing!!

I think her Family has always supported her but I also think they won't tolerater cetain behavior from her either .About the thing with Bobby hitting Whitney I would say it's about time simple because she's always bragged about hitting him and when you do those things you don't know when you've reached a person's limit are tolorance level.If it did happen maybe she's learned to keep her hands to herself .Shawn
