In this week’s National Enquirer, they have one of the most unflattering photos of Whitney Houston in the middle of a concert on May 27, under the headline “Whitney Soars to 175 lbs”. The piece is remarkably similar to one the Enquirer ran about Mariah Carey several weeks ago, only with Mariah they were all “she gained weight because she’s happy” and with Whitney they’re like “she’s gained weight just because.” Unfortunately, we don’t have the exact photos the Enquirer is using, so this one will have to suffice. Does Whitney look bigger? Sure, but not 175 pounds.
"Whitney Houston’s weight is spiraling out of control! The troubled Grammy winner has packed on at least 20 pounds recently. While experts believe some of the weight gain has been caused by steroid injections or prednisone treatments to treat a nagging respiratory infection, insiders say that Whitney’s been “pigging out” on room service and fast food during her “Nothing But Love” European tour.
“She ballooned to 175 pounds, and there’s no sign of slowing down," quotes the Enquirer."
[From The National Enquirer, print edition]
She could have gained weight because:
A) Who cares?
B) She’s not smoking crack anymore (while she reads the Bible), and needs something for her oral fixation.
C) She on tour, and she’s hungry after performing and probably snacks on fast food.
D) Because she’s not some skinny young pop star with a crazy metabolism.
All in all, it could totally be worse. Maybe Whitney will become the new Aretha Franklin! Just a big, beautiful woman with an amazing voice, someone who gets so big, their fashion statements are all about boobs and hats. I would really love that Whitney. That Whitney has her voice back. I wonder if the actual Whitney will ever get her voice back? It's not looking that way. Those pure mellow tones have been conspicuously absent during her world tour. Audiences have actually walked out on her. You can't abuse and neglect your voice for ten years and expect to go on stage and sing like a nightingale.
I feel sorry for her. She has waked up and is presently, smelling the coffee.
Hi Cutie....A very slow and lazy day nothing going on just laying around listening to good music and talking with my man about where our life is headed.
ReplyDeleteHope your day is going good and it's cooler there.
How's Nana ?? What's Brian doing playing with his gadgets, but not the ones he brought at the Hully Gully grown up store??? [giggles]
Whitney do have a problem and her weight problem may be from the meds she taking...
No, we will never hear the golden voice of Whitney again unless we but her records of years gone by.
Whitney still have a great ear for music and I think she would be a great voice coach and help others to realize their dreams and also tell them what not to do because she's been there.....remember Bobby Brown...her first downfall.
Nuff said, but hey, that's just me.
