| Whitney
on Crack? |
hecklerspray reports: There was a time when
Whitney Houston believed that children were the future, but now it seems
as if smoking loads of crack until all her teeth fall out is the only future
Whitney Houston believes in.
That's according to Tina Brown, the sister-in-law
of Whitney Houston, who made these revelations in an interview with The
National Enquirer. If the claims are true, it's a shame - we were kind
of hoping that the stories about Bobby Brown pulling turds out of Whitney's
bum with his fingers was as nasty as it got.[see full story for more]-

rockin' melodic music has won them fans the world over with over a dozen
releases to their credit, Enuff Z'nuff still continues to impress critics
and fans with every release. In fact, Ralph Sutton of the nationally syndicated
Tour Bus radio show recently singled out the band in an interview with
About.com as the most underrated band of all time. "I always say that Enuff
Z'Nuff has put out some of the most consistent CDs in any band's history,"
Sutton said. "They have like 15 albums or something like that and some
of their best songs are on the later ones. They never got a fair shake."
