Convict 'Sold Whitney Drugs'
Convicted felon Kevin Skinner is set to shock people by insisting Whitney Houston is a drug addict.
Skinner appears on TV news show "Dateline" this Sunday as part of a special on Houston and her trip to Israel this summer, and he claims he has watched the soul star take drugs with her husband Bobby Brown.
Skinner, a former partner in the company run by Houston's late father, tells Dateline he has sold drugs to Houston in the past, adding, "I think she's an addict."
Houston appeared on TV at the end of last year to answer questions about her drug use and insisted she had it under control.
The upcoming Dateline special will feature unseen footage of Houston and Brown's bizarre trip to Israel.
Beyonce's Interview Regrets
Singer Beyonce Knowles often whines with embarrassment when she reads over her own interviews - because she's so unimpressed with a lot of the things she says.
The "Crazy In Love" singer, 22, admits there are often moments where she's not particularly thrilled to have to face questions from reporters - especially when she isn't thinking straight.
She says, "Sometimes I read certain interviews and I'm like, 'What c**p did I say?' I mean, I know I said it because I wasn't delirious. But I'm only human, and some things I've said I wish didn't get quoted. It is hard to function sometimes.
"But I have people around who support me, and my mother. I love my mom. She tells me the truth, and she's like, 'Girl, you need to calm down or put on some music and chill out.' We'll say a prayer or do different things to keep me calm, you know?"
Lil' Kim's Big Demands
Hip-hop diva Lil' Kim has put bosses of the British MOBO awards in a spin with her backstage demands for Thursday night's ceremony.
The sexy star is co-hosting the glitzy show with fellow R&B singer Blu Cantrell, and demanded her dressing room at London's Royal Albert Hall be set up exactly as she wanted before she's agree to take part.
Kim has ordered show bosses to ensure she has a dressing room on the north side of the hall with three furry pink walls, one huge mirrored wall, room temperature of exactly 32 degrees (c) and feng shui friendly furniture to be placed where she wants it.
She's also insisted on having mineral water chilled at exactly 10 degrees centigrade, ice cubes made from pure mineral water, a masseuse to be on hand at all times and four big bodyguards to patrol constantly. (Afrochic's sidenote: She probably can't spell centigrade
)
A backstage source admits, "There are some pretty unusual demands on the list but a lot of people say that Lil' Kim is a very unusual lady. She certainly doesn't do things by half!
"But she is doing a job for us tonight so we have promised to fulfil her wishes. We have complied with them all to the letter. She hasn't seen the dressing room yet, but it looks great."
