Whitney Houston’s struggle with addiction is far from over, it seems. A representative for the Bodyguard singer/actress, who just last week performed on stage with “I’m Every Woman” originator Chaka Khan during one of Prince’s concerts at the Forum in L.A., told People that Houston is seeking rehabilitation once more.

“Whitney Houston is currently in an out-patient rehab program for drug and alcohol treatment,” the rep told the mag in a statement. “Whitney voluntarily entered the program to support her long-standing recovery process.” This marks Houston’s third rehab stint since 2004.

Best wishes for healthy days ahead, Whitney!

Bobbi Kristina Brown (Getty Images)Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown was photographed at a party allegedly snorting an unidentified substand.

According to her ex-boyfriend -- who took the pictures -- 18-year-old Bobbi is addicted to cocaine, just like her mother Whitney was.

He told National Enquirer magazine: “I’ve tried to stop her. But all she said was, ‘I’m just like my mother!’

“Whitney needs to see what her daughter is doing to herself. If Krissi doesn’t stop soon, this addiction to cocaine will kill her.”

The shots -- which also include a picture of her sitting next to series of chopped out lines of white powder -- were taken at a friend’s house in Alpharetta, Georgia, the town where she lives with her mother.

The unnamed former boyfriend, who was in a relationship with Krissi for over two years, insists the teenager’s substance problems are spiraling out of control.

Recalling one party they went to as a couple, he said: “Krissi was pretty wired. I also saw her kiss a man and drink a 40-ounce bottle of Budweiser.”

The magazine also claims she is a marijuana user and heavy drinker.

However, Krissi has refuted the allegation she has a cocaine problem and has accused her ex of setting her up for money because the relationship went bad.

In a series of posts on her Twitter page, she wrote: “The pictures -- a former very dear person to me did this. Set me up to make it look exactly what it looks like. God will smite them yes.

“But it’s really not what it looks like … People will do anything for money which is extremely sad, and I’m very hurt by this.”

She also revealed her mother Whitney had been comforting her “to the max” in the wake of the allegations.

The 47-year-old singer confessed to being a cocaine addict herself in a 2009 TV interview with Oprah Winfrey and admitted her and her ex-husband Bobby Brown’s drug use spiraled out of control after she starred in hit movie The Bodyguard in 1992.

Check out Whitney Houston singing "Precious Lord" at Carol Brown's (Bobby's Mother) Funeral. She sounds GREAT!!! Go Nippy!!! *Sidebar* That's a damn shame someone snuck a camera inside a funeral!!! SMDH!

Whitney Houston took to the stage with friend Kim Burrell at BET’s Celebration of Gospel. Together, the duo, ripped the roof off the building with a spine-tingling rendition of Houston’s 2009 hit ‘I Look To You’.  Go Nippy!

While the show airs on BET this Sunday, fan footage of the performance has today surfaced. Check it out after the jump…

Well, look who recently turned up on variety show Showtime in the Philippines—that’s right, it’s the demonic-looking Whitney Houston impersonator who simultaneously lip syncs to “I Will Always Love You” while acting possessed, shaking white powder out of his/her (???) hair and giving birth to creepy baby dolls that wobble around on stage. Perhaps you’ve seen this treasure performing before on YouTube? Or perhaps not. Either way, the act has been polished a bit. Head below to watch the delightful freak show go global.

Even the heavy New York City winds couldn’t dim the star power at Keep a Child Alive’s 7th Annual Black Ball at Hammerstein Ballroom on Thursday night (Sept. 30). The star-studded charity gala, which raised money for HIV/AIDS treatment, featured appearances and performances by Sade, Whitney Houston, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Usher, Swizz Beatz, Jennifer Hudson, Janelle Monáe, and more.

The belle of the ball, host Alicia Keys, lived out her dream by singing with Sade. “It was the most difficult thing I ever had to do in my life, to try to pick one song,” revealed the pregnant songstress, who finally decided upon “Love Is Stronger Than Pride.” “I lost sleep over it actually.”

Janelle Monáe gained new fans with her “Tightrope” walking and Swizz Beatz joined Jay-Z for “On to the Next One,” as his pretty in pink wife looked on. Alicia helped Jay cap the evening in their hometown by channeling Frank Sinatra with an impromptu performance of “New York, New York,” before closing with “Empire State of Mind.”

The word “diva” gets thrown around a lot when describing female songstresses like Mariah Carey, Celin Dion and Beyoncé, but there can only be one true commanding prima donna that upstages them all. Using categories such as “Taking The Listener On An Emotional Journey”, “Iconic Song/Moment”, and “Hand Gestures”, The Awl got all scientific in their quest to identify music’s greatest diva. It was a close race, but Whitney Houston nabbed the all-time top honor, besting Aretha Franklin by a Super Bowl performance.

Whitney Houston may have performed her megahit "I Will Always Love You" at her sold-out London concert on Sunday – but apparently scores of her fans didn't share the sentiment.

Despite paying up to $170 a ticket, disappointed concertgoers streamed out of the singer's show at the O2 Arena after Houston failed to hit the high notes and she rasped her way through several attempts at the song. To her credit, the singer, 46, knew she was disappointing the crowd, and she shook her head and tried to reassure the audience.

"Oh, it's going to come," Houston announced mid-song. "I wanna do it – but [my voice] just doesn’t want to. I have long talks with her. Well, tonight she's getting a little temperamental."

Houston, whose European tour has been plagued by her respiratory illness, also blamed her vocal troubles on the venue's air-conditioning, which she told fans "turned my soprano off." (Houston also cited the a/c as the cause of similar problems at her Birmingham, England, show weeks before.)

For real fans, though, the singer's apparent performance troubles were no problem at all. Many were just thrilled to see her in the U.K. again, since her last official tour date in the British capital in 1999.

"She was incredibly brave to come out and perform," concert attendee Maria Montague told PEOPLE at the show. "Even though she struggled at times, I think she did well considering what's she's been through."

According to longtime fan Kevin Hughes: "The voice has definitely deteriorated, but the showmanship and the sheer entertainment value is still there. She’s still a star."

The British press, however, didn't quite agree.

It was allergies, not a relapse, says Whitney Houston, who's now out of the hospital and eager to return to the stage.

"I'm feeling great," she tells DIDNTINVITEME exclusively. "I'm just ready to move on and continue my world tour."

Hospitalized earlier this week for an upper respiratory infection, Houston postponed the first four shows of her European tour, fueling tabloid speculation that she's in a downward drug spiral.

Houston calls such reports "ridiculous" and says, "At this point, I just don't respond. I don't even read it."
Checking into a hospital in Paris was doctor's orders. "My health is terrific," says the singer, 46. "But this is a time when I get a lot of allergies."

Houston's tour will resume on April 13 in Birmingham, England, and will continue through June. "I'm doing what I love to do, which is singing," Houston says. "The best part is seeing all of my fans around the world."

Whitney Houston, who is currently globetrotting on her “Nothing But Love” world tour, sat down for an interview while on the road. The 30-year veteran spoke about working with her “sister” Alicia Keys, her dismay with some of today’s pop stars, her costumes from the ’80s, how she keeps in shape and stays healthy, and how her teenage daughter brings her joy.

“There are some extremely gifted and talented young women and young men out there who don’t have to really put on Halloween costumes, just be themselves,” she said. “A little extravagance, a little flair, a little sexiness or a sultriness is cool, but some of them are very dark. … To me, it’s not becoming.”

Legendary diva Whitney Houston’s comeback LP ‘I Look To You’ has been certified Platinum by the RIAA, her team announced today. Important to stress is that the critically-acclaimed album, which was released in August, achieved such a feat for sales in excess of 1 million in the US, and not just shipments (there’s a difference folks)

Just when you thought the star power at the 2009 American Music Awards couldn’t get any brighter, Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston have been announced as performers.


Jackson, who releases her greatest hits album Number Ones on November 17, will open the 37th annual show by performing a medley of hits spanning her illustrious career.

“We’re thrilled about having Janet Jackson open this year’s show,” stated American Music Awards producer Larry Klein. “She is an incredibly dynamic performer, and I think the audience will be excited to see what she has in store.”

Whitney Houston is also set to return to the AMA stage for her first primetime U.S. network performance in five years. She will sing her powerhouse ballad “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength” and receive the International Artist Award.

“We’re honored to have Whitney Houston back on the AMA stage after ten years,” said Klein. “She has won the most AMAs of any female artist in history and is without a doubt an international superstar, so it’s only fitting we honor her with the International Artist Award this year at such an important time in her career.”

According reports today, comeback queen Whitney Houston will begin a world tour next April, in the UK!

WHITNEY HOUSTON is embarking on her first major UK tour in more than a decade.
The diva will play five arena dates in April.

She said: “This is my first full tour since 1999.

“I cannot wait to perform songs from my new album along with favourites.”

Whitney will also sing on The X Factor on October 18.

The gigs start at Manchester’s MEN Arena on April 8 before taking in Glasgow, Birmingham, Newcastle and London’s O2 on April 25.

Comeback queen Whitney Houston continues her promotional tour of Europe, just a few minutes ago performing new single ‘Million Dollar Bill’ on popular French show Le Grand Journal. Peep the performance above.

Whitney Houston appeared overseas in Germany where she performed “I Look to You” on Europe’s No. 1 show “Wetten, Dass..?” With her daughter Bobbi Kristina smiling from the audience, she spoke about her new album and all the love she’s received since her return.

Whitney Houston is looking like a million bucks in the high-priced video for “Million Dollar Bill” off her new album I Look to You. The clip was directed by Melina, known for her work with Beyoncé and Ciara.

Whitney Houston is still tempted by drugs, but instead of surrendering to the urge she relies on a higher power to see her through.

"Don't think I don't have desires for it," the Grammy winner admitted during the second part of her interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show Tuesday. "It takes me a minute to cleanse ... I have to pray it away."

On Monday's show, Houston told Winfrey that at times she was a heavy user of marijuana and rock cocaine. On Tuesday's show, she said that these days she occasionally will have a drink, but "no weed, no coke."

She takes things "one day at a time," and "if I get weak, I know who I can turn to," she said. "I know God loves me."

Houston, 46, also said God gave her the courage to leave what she described as an emotionally abusive 14-year marriage to Bobby Brown. Her husband "did not want me to leave," she said. But she prayed to God, "if you give me one day of strength, I will go out that door and I will not look back."

That day came in 2006, when she told Brown she was going out for sugar and milk but instead hopped on a plane for Los Angeles. Before that, she said, she moved their daughter, Bobbi Kristina, in with her brother and sister-in-law, who cared for the child during fifth and sixth grades, "while I just tried to get it all together."

Change Daughter's Life
Houston said she needed to remove her daughter from Brown because she had seen enough, witnessing a time when Brown spat on her. Houston tried to explain to her daughter. "I said, 'But it's all right.' She said, 'No, it's not. No, it's not.' "

When Houston moved Bobbi Kristina to live with her in Los Angeles, the girl was "very angry" and didn't understand why she had to be separated from her father. But Houston said she didn't want her exposed to Brown's unfaithfulness. "I can't let her think this is love," she said.

Houston said she "kept knocking on that door" and "telling her I loved her," and Bobbi Kristina eventually witnessed her father with other women and making promises he didn't keep. "She said, 'No. Divorce him. Let him go,' " recalls Houston. Houston and Brown divorced in 2007.

Jackson's Death 'Devastating'
Now 16, Bobbi Kristina is doing well, writing and singing. "She's more and more like me every day," says her mother. During a taping, Winfrey turned to Bobbi Kristina in the audience. "Words can't explain how proud of I am [of my mother]," says the teen, adding that she plans to follow in Houston's footsteps and pursue a singing career.

Winfrey also asked Houston about Michael Jackson, a friend for 20 years. "Devastating," Houston said of his death, adding that she knew he had been on painkillers at one time.

While together in 2001 during the taping of Jackson's 30th anniversary special, Houston said Jackson looked so sickly, "I was getting scared." Admitting that she herself was so thin because of drug use, she said when she saw Jackson she thought, "I didn't want to go that route."

Less is more in the simplistic video for Whitney Houston’s “I Look to You,” the title track off her fourth No. 1 album.

Whitney Houston has every reason to feel like a “Million Dollar Bill.” The pop diva’s new album enters the charts at No. 1, becoming the biggest first-week sales of her career and the best-selling first week by a female artist this year.


Houston’s first album in seven years, I Look to You, debuts with 304,801 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. This is her fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. Outside the U.S., she holds the No. 1 spot in Canada, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland.

These numbers are Houston’s best opening sales week since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991. Her previous best first week was in 2002 with Just Whitney (205,000). I Look to You is also the singer’s first No. 1 since The Bodyguard soundtrack spent 20 weeks at No. 1 in 1993.

Elsewhere on the charts, Trey Songz’s Ready has the second-biggest debut of the week, landing at No. 3 with 131,000, while Pitbull’s Rebelution makes it way in at No. 8 with 41,000.
