She should have signed a deal to advertise for this company, not Revlon.

After being thwarted in a suicide attempt in a London hotel room, R&B singer Houston reportedly gouged his own eye out.

According to sources close to the singer, on Thursday Houston attempted to jump out of a hotel window but was stopped by his security personnel. He was then locked in his hotel room, where he injured himself. There are currently no further details on the incident, although photographs of his injury are circulating online.

The Los Angeles native, born Houston Summers IV, was overseas for a series of performances when the incident occurred. He scored a hit last year with the Chingy and Nate Dogg-featured "I Like That" (see "Houston Scores Club Hit With Help From Chingy, Nate Dogg"), which was also featured in a McDonald's commercial. His debut album, It's Already Written, was certified gold a month after its release in August of last year.

Representatives for Houston's label, Capitol Records, could not be reached for comment.

For real. I mean, I have heard of cutting and all that, but he took his eye out????? That's self-inflicted pain on a whole 'nother level.

TheEpitome1920 02-02-2005 07:04 PM

Girl, I had the misfortune of seeing the picture. :( I'm confused also as to the reason why they'd leave him alone. There are numerous things one could do in a locked hotel room to injure themselves. :(

Thank you to Savvy and BigChill. But does his socket look empty to y'all? I just need to know did he for real pull his eye out. Like totally severed it from whatever holds it in place (ligaments?? it's sad how little I know about how my body is put together)?

EWWWW. What kind of drugs make you take your own eye out? He had to be on something. I understand his depression, or whatever, but taking your own eye out? That is disgusting.

It was reported here on the radio that dude was doing PCP, so this could be one of the reasons as to why this started happening.

ABC's Extreme Makeover comes to Birmingham...
 
A Center Point family who made news 2½ years ago with the birth of their sextuplets are about to become TV stars. ABC's cameras were rolling about 8 a.m. when Ty Pennington, the show's frenetic host, stood in front of the Harris home and bellowed into a bullhorn. "Harris family, come on out!" They didn't. So he bellowed again. Then again. The family blamed their delayed reaction on a music session. "They were in the kitchen singing `The Wheels on the Bus,' so they couldn't hear," said "Extreme Makeover" landscape designer Eduardo Xol.

Rest of the story here.

I knew good and d@mn well he ain't just take his eye out!!! I was gon' ask if he ate it (a la that other dude) but I ain't want y'all to trip out, lol.

Now, this makes much better sense to me. Thanks, Kim. :)

2Tuff2Quit 02-03-2005 02:00 PM

ewwww
 
Now that's just nasty. I heard on 106 n Park where they said that he tried to commit suicide, but they didn't say anything about him taking his eye out. :eek: I mean I know he was a one hit wonder and everything but it should NOT get that bad. I knew he had to be on something else cuz black folk just don't up and do stuff like that (normally)! .......wow....that is all I can say:(

This one I want to see, particularly six babypeople. I think we talked about them before -- do all their names begin with a K?

ETA: It is the same family.:D :cool:

rho4life 02-03-2005 03:52 PM

Ok, so i looked at the houston eye pic........it doesn't look that bad. I was thinking it was going to look totally empty, like someone who lost an eye to cancer or something.

Drugs are bad man. Like Whitney said, crack is whack!

Ideal08 02-03-2005 05:55 PM

I'm sorry. I apologize in advance.

Upon hearing about Houston, Bushwick Bill of rap group the Geto Boys felt compelled to speak out. In 1991, Bill forced his girlfriend to assist him in a suicide attempt, and she shot him in the eye. "Fame will make you crazy," Bill said in a statement. "Fame isn't for everybody. There are people who have a fear of fame, those who want fame, and those who don't understand fame. It drives them crazy, because it is a lot of responsibility to be all things to all people, and you can lose yourself in the shuffle, where there are no longer 52 cards in the deck."

Made me LMAO. No, ok, it made me ROTFLMAO. All of it. I would LOVE to hear Chris Rock's commentary about this.

ETA:

Why do people keep messin' with PCP??? Didn't they learn from ol' dude last year eatin' lungs???

Conskeeted7 02-03-2005 06:21 PM

That is really sad that Houston has these mental issues that make him want to hurt himself. He's pretty young too isn't he?

On another note...if Beyonce is wearing wigs, why did Loreal even hire her? That is deceptive advertising to the max!! No shampoo is going to make your hair look like a $50,000 wig...that's ridiculous.

Ideal08 02-03-2005 06:42 PM

get rid of the egg
 
They should use this for a commercial:

This is your eye. (Before picture of Houston)

This is your eye on drugs. (After picture of Houston)



This is my last joke on the topic, I swear. But for real.

Dang! I know he's mad now if it was a bad PCP trip. He, Slick Rick and Bushwick and the eye patch thing...

Why would he even mess with that itsh if he had mental health issues?

LOL. I said the same thing (w/o the dollar amount) when she first got that ad. :rolleyes:

I feel it's the same way with the "black" hair books in the salons. Most of those styles are wearve/pieces. Whose hair is gonna really look like that? :rolleyes:

:D

Epitome, they were talking about it on the radio the other day; I wanna say it was on 93.9, but I forget. The DJs wants someone to send in a tape of the show with him on there. They are giving away some prize for whoever sends in a tape of it. I guess only time will tell.

RedefinedDiva 02-04-2005 06:23 PM

That's him! It's gotta be him!! If not, he has a twin.

This is perfect for Rain Man! If anyone has a tape of a game show, it is him.

"He" is The Game, a new rapper from Compton. He is with the Dr. Dre/Eminem/50 Cent camp. His song out now is called "How We Do" and his album came out in Mid-January 2005. But I agree with Redefined that it's him.

Nick And Jessica Barely Speaking

http://www.allthehitsq100.com/bertsh...and%20Nick.jpg

Now that filming has wrapped on the "Dukes of Hazzard" movie, rumor has it Nick and Jessica are spending too much time together. The MTV cameras are back not for "Newlyweds", which was finished months ago now they're taping the upcoming reality show called "The Nick Lachey Project". It'll document Nick's trials & tribulations as he records his new solo record. According to the scoop magazines, when the cameras are off, Jessica & Nick are practically ready to strangle each other: She won't even answer her cell phone if it's Nick calling! Meanwhile, a source in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where the "Dukes of Hazzard" was filmed, says that Jessica became very friendly with her co-star Seann William Scott. He plays "Bo Duke" in the movie, but he's probably best known as "Stifler" from the "American Pie" films. According to this source: "I saw them out to dinner several times, but I never saw any kind of ring on her finger".
