The celebrity world has a nasty habit (no pun intended) of chewing up and spitting out it's participants at a breakneck pace. Having spent some time working with celebrities, the fawning servitude (albeit mostly false) that overwhelms them once they start to gain fame and money definately contributes to an unreal estimation of their abilites to overcome any challenge. It is sickening to see fans and sycophants reinforcing the sense of power that celebs have. These celebs tend to lose perspective and are too often presented with all kinds of options to do stupid things while their "support" tells them they can do no wrong.
She shouldn't have done the drugs, but I can see how it came to be.
:iagree:
Much like politicians ... they lose touch

Re: Whitney Houston Death

I'm so thankful that I avoided all those rich famous girls (and guys) who chased me saying "Hey Adam, lookie what the snake said we could eat" Easy trap to fall into.... A good friend while I was growing up, Dennis Quaid, (had the gym locker by mine and played at my house after school, we had a badminton court) now recovered from the pit, is a good illustration of staying on the right path and the consequences of straying from it, and recovering, if done in time.
