I just saw this, and came here to see if it was confirmed. I'm not sure why this surprises me.

[Mulvaness]

RIP Whitney!

[trishsixxm]

Wow this really surprised me. RIP Whitney. What a voice she had?

[Richard Cranium]

I did not have Bobby out-living Whitney in the office pool....

[stacebabe]

And someone was just asking who the next "surprise" death was going to be - I think we've got it. Holy crap!!!!

[TaupinJohn]

Damn.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Does anyone know if she was slated to present an award at tomorrow's Grammys?
Wow, 24 hours before they started and she's gone. Jesus.

Bet those producers are scrambling like mice trying to put together a montage.

[Zoe_Zeppelin]

WTF?!

[The Lucky One]

I just read that she is not dead at all! Her rep says that anyway....

[Roaming Tigress]

Totally taken aback, though I knew of her drug use.

[SenorMuerto]

Another talent wasted on drugs.

The Grammy producers must be scrambling right now.

[The Lucky One]

so is she dead or not? @_@

Lucky one - her rep said that in September.

Its on TMZ. Im afraid its real this time

[MorbidChrissy]

Wow, I'm really surprised. Totally didn't expect it. RIP Whitney.

[Richard Cranium]

I just read that she is not dead at all! Her rep says that anyway....

Sadly, there are some saying she is not dead, but it is her publicist is saying she is dead. Now ABC has broken into programming to confirm.

[Ted Challinor]

amazed - another young death

[intothelight]

I just saw a friend post something on FB about it and searched online for truths. Sad.

[lisalouver]

Its on CNN

[Richard Cranium]

I think this is what people are seeing when they search that says it is false. This is from WAY back in 2001

[PiggyTx]

fuck!! I am just. wow. I knew Bobby Brown was bad influence on her. fuck. what a waste.

[DietCokeofEvil]

I was never a fan, especially since she wasted her talent and became a human punchline in the last few years. She truly had a gift and she wasted it on that dumbass husband of hers and on drugs. It's a damn shame. RIP.

[lisalouver]

Larry King is on CNN on the phone talking about her, they aer showing clips of her with Clive Davis

[intothelight]

Its on CNN

Yeah I saw it on CNN.com earlier. I don't have cable can't watch CNN.

[Richard Cranium]

Okay, I know I'm wrong for this, but, LMAO! This is from the 2001 article that said it is a hoax. However, this time, it is for real.

[Desert Ghost]

Another waste of talent who died too young.

[twist340]

wow can't believe she just died.what a shame.

[helo99]

TMZ just announced Whitney Houston is dead.

According to our sources, Houston died at the Beverly Hilton hotel. A police crime lab vehicle was seen outside the hotel just moments ago (see below).


Houston won two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, 22 American Music Awards during her record-breaking career. Her album "Whitney" was the first female album to ever debut at #1 on the Billboard Charts. She has sold 200 million albums world wide.

Houston holds an Honorary Doctorate in Humanities from Grambling State University in Louisiana.

Houston had one child, Bobbi Kristina, with husband Bobby Brown. Houston and Brown were married from 1992-2007.

[missygir810]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wonder if she relapsed?

[AllyTheHag]

Wow! You people are fast! I just saw the news, and of course, had to run over here!

RIP Whitney.

[cindyt]

As Houston's death has not yet been confirmed by People, CNN, et al, I have merged the posts here. If confirmed, a mod with unmerge. I surfed it and there were several site that called it a rumor. Who knows? TMZ reported Michael Jackson's death long before it was reported on mainstream news.

[RaRaRamona]

I was waiting for the first post!! What took so long??

This is WHACK!

[Richard Cranium]

This one is not premature, Whitney is dead. I was just showing the article from 2001 that said it was a hoax that people are referring to.

[KiwiDeathy]

refer other listings

[Khaos696]

We'll find out soon enough what happened, RIP Whitney

[Mulvaness]

How come this was moved to hoaxes? It is everywhere that it is true.

[Serendipitous]

Damn. RIP Whitney.

[Fujicakes]

$20 says it's drug-related!

[Linnythepooh]

........

[radiojane]

Sad, but not unexpected.

What should scare the shit out of people about drugs is that even in this day and age, with all medicine can do (and with all the cash she had) they still took her down.

I'm sure however that we'll be hearing soon it was "pneumonia" or a "congenital condition"

[stranger_than_strange]

say no to drugs mmmmk. This has not come as a shock.

[lisalouver]

Theres two threads!!! LMAO

[Mulvaness]

Cindyt~ it is scrolling at the top of CNN's main page that she is dead.

[DrPickles]

This a shock to me, i was on another thread here about the last pics taken of people and my wife came in and told me. i thought she was bs ing me until she had me look at the tve and the had a crawl of it on NBC. of course i had to jump over to the musicians to see if it was "confirmed" by fellow death hags.

[helo99]

My bet is that she offed herself in a pre-Grammy depression.

[Zoe_Zeppelin]

Cindy, it's on CNN right now.

[OMyStarz]

I just happened to be reading the news and saw this on the CBS news website on their breaking news banner, no story yet though.
