Whitney Houston spends $300,000 a year on drugs

WHITNEY HOUSTON is blowing over $300,000 a year on drugs, sources say - and friends fear she's locked in a downward spiral that will soon end in death.

With the R&B diva's drug habit raging out of control, her entourage recruited a drug dealer who sold her $6,000 worth of cocaine during a tour stop in Europe in June, an eyewitness to the deal told The ENQUIRER.

Although the 46-year-old singer claimed to be drug-free during her TV interview with Oprah Winfrey, she was actually high as a kite at the time, said a source.

And while she's been through rehab at least twice, an in-depth ENQUIRER investigation has discovered Whitney has spent an average of $6,300 a week on drugs - or an astonishing $327,600 a year!

"Whitney is a dead woman walking! With the amount of drugs she's buying, she won't be able to live long. She'll be dead in months," her friend Marlon David, a party promoter, told The ENQUIRER.

The Grammy-winning singer's sobriety came into question almost as soon as she kicked off her "Nothing But Love" comeback tour in February in South Korea.

After canceling her Paris concert, she was hospitalized for what her reps called an upper respiratory infection. The condition forced her to call off three more shows in England and Scotland.

While most people expect a coke addict to be rail thin, Whitney is not.

When she was photographed in London, Whitney looked bloated and sported a puffy face - conditions that sources believe are side effects of prescription drugs for her respiratory ailment that cause her to retain water and have a voracious appetite.

By the time she arrived in Denmark for her performances in Copenhagen, Whitney's team was ordering huge amounts of illegal drugs, according to David.

Swizz Beatz taking active role in Alicia Keys career

They say Swizz Beatz is taking over managing Alicia Keys.

Blogger Necole Bitchie got fresh intel that Swizz has been taking a more active role Alicia's career.

From the Bitchie files,

Over the past few weeks, Its been pretty tense in house. Swizz Beatz has been there and has been taking a pretty active role of being a manager. He has been pitching her to people and he’s becoming very vocal in the direction of her career”.

According to another source, Alicia Keys also axed her entire glam squad. “Swizz Beatz is trying to remove anyone from the team that appears to be a threat because of his own insecurities” says the source.

The source also reveals that no one approved of Alicia’s relationship with Swizz Beatz because of the drama and baggage that revolve around the relationship. “Some are questioning his motives“. Case in point, Swizz Beatz pushed for the release of “Put It In A Love Song” featuring Beyonce even though the song received mediocre reviews. He not only produced the song but he co-directed the video. As of right now, the release of the video has been put on hold and they aren’t sure what to do with the video.

The Source goes on to reveal that although Alicia and Swizz Beatz announced their engagement in June, the two have been engaged for about 9 months. Both left their previous relationships to be with each other.

Wesley Snipes Sentenced to Prison

It looks like actor, Wesley Snipes will be doing time behind bars after all. Snipes' three-year sentence for tax invasion was upheld by a federal appeals court, according to CNN.com. Defense for the actor claimed that the sentence was a bit "unreasonable," and Snipes believed that a penalty of probation would have been much more suitable.

Snipes was accused of not paying more than $15 million in taxes. The actor argued his innocence and testified that he was advised by shady tax advisers. He was acquitted of tax fraud felony charges. Hoping for a better outcome, the actor paid $5 million to the courts as a good gesture, but that served only as a down payment for what he owes.

PETA aims for Janet Jackson

It was announced on Thursday (June 15) that Janet Jackson is the newest celebrity spokesman for BlackGlama Fur and the folks at PETA are already coming for her… hard.
PETA spokeswoman Amanda Schinke says:

It’s amazing what celebrities will do when their careers are on a downslide, but we didn’t think that Janet was this desperate. Surely she knows enough about suffering and unjustified death to recognize that both occur in the production of a fur coat. We are asking her to think again and to donate these stolen skins to be used as bedding for animals orphaned by other human-caused disasters, such as loss of habitat.”

I don’t know who’s worse as far as complaining about every little thing, the LGBT community or PETA. Anyway, check out.

Bushwick Bill facing deportation in Atlanta Immigration Court

Over a month has passed since rumor sprouted surrounding legendary Geto Boys' MC Bushwick Bill's no-show at the June taping of VH1's 2010 Hip Hop Honors. At the time, there was some speculation that he'd been arrested on unknown charges before he was scheduled to perform during the Rap-A-Lot Records dedication to honor the label's founder, J. Prince.


While those charges or the arrest have yet to be confirmed, Bill is definitely in some hot water. Today, the Jamaican-born MC faced deportation proceedings in Atlanta Immigration Court. The cause for the ongoing case is also unknown.


The former member of the pioneering, Houston-based gangsta rap group, Geto Boys, was born Richard Shaw in Jamaica in 1966, but raised in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, New York (hence his stage name), before relocating to Houston in the ’80s.


Despite his small stature, he made a huge impact among the trio that included rap icons Scarface and Willie D. Their early, Southern gothic mix of sociopolitical gangster narratives, tales of paranoia and vulnerability ("Mind Playing Tricks") and psychotic trips ("Mind of a Lunatic") earned labels ranging from reality rap to horrorcore. Of course, Bill became the center of attention in 1991, after accidentally shooting himself in the eye during an episode with a girlfriend that, to this day, remains shrouded in a self-admitted haze of drunkenness, depression and suicidal thoughts — which he later rapped about on the single, "Ever So Clear," from his debut solo album. The cover for Geto Boys' 1991 release We Can't Be Stopped (Rap-A-Lot) features a photo taken during his resulting hospital stay, with Willie D and Scarface on either side of his gurney while Bushwick, his left eye grotesquely swollen and bloodied, posed with a dope boy cellular phone up to his ear while wearing a hospital gown.


But in recent years, Bill made a 180-degree turn, switching from gangsta to gospel rap. He dropped his gospel debut, The Testimony of Redemption late last year on G-S.P.O.T. Productionz (God's Special Purpose of Talent). In the video (above) for the title track, he recounts his journey from Geto Boy to gospel-rapping ordained minister.


CL contributor Ben Westhoff had arranged an interview to discuss his transformation earlier this year with Bushwick Bill, who was residing in Atlanta. But it never happened. We hope to speak to Bill's lawyer soon. Stay tuned for more information on this ongoing case.

Ochpcinco gambles in his drawers in Las Vegas

Chad is seriously a free spirit! Yesterday, the Bengals wide receiver tweeted that he was in Las Vegas “walking around MGM lobby in my gold toe socks and h&m briefs seeing who’s winning on these slot machines, people looking at me crazy WTF.”


Apparently, he had bigger fish to fry and took his act to other casinos to try his luck. He also tweeted, “Back in my briefs and socks walking down Flamingo or as they say the Las Vegas strip, when it gets a lil cooler ill put on some clothes.”


The man that caused a youtube stir with footage of him jogging naked in the park apparently won $100 while gambling in his underwear! At least that’s what he told Arizona Cardinals safety Kerry Rhodes.
Chad must get bored with himself. Dude is always looking for the next bizarre act, the next weird occurance…or maybe he just sees these things as normal behavior for him. Whatever the case, dude never misses a chance to be caught with his pants down!
