"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.
