Whitney faces the music on drugs, her weight and her marriage.

Whitney Houston talks to Primetime's Diane Sawyer in a revealing interview that will air on Wednesday, Dec. 4. (ABCNEWS.com) Tough Enough
Whitney Houston Describes the Highs and Lows of Her Career

Nov. 28 — Whitney Houston has a voice that has been called the greatest of her generation, and she has topped the music charts around the world and starred in movies. But for the last decade, her life has been plagued by scandal and mystery, with rumors of bizarre behavior and unexplained cancellations.

But one date she did keep was for an exclusive interview with Primetime's Diane Sawyer, her first sit-down interview in years.
In the interview, which will air on a special Primetime on Wednesday, Dec. 4, Sawyer asked Houston, 39, about her weight, telling her that Americans watching the interview would probably be scrutinizing her physical appearance for signs of illness or substance abuse. In a guest appearance on Michael Jackson's televised concert in February, Houston appeared thin and frail, giving rise to rumors that she was sick. There have also been rumors of drug use.

When Sawyer showed the singer a picture taken during the Michael Jackson concert, she admitted you could see her bones, but said, "I'm 5'7" and thin."

Sawyer also asked Houston about rumors of her substance abuse, and her turbulent marriage to singer Bobby Brown. The two talked about the highlights of her career — Houston said the high point was when she sang the national anthem at the Super Bowl in 1991 — and the low points, like the $100 million lawsuit filed against her in September by her 81-year-old father's entertainment company.

But asked if she was tough enough for show business, Houston was sure: "Oh, I'm tough enough," she said.

This should be really interesting. In all seriousness I feel sorry for her and most especially the Bobbi Christina.

I watched Good Day Live today. It's that show with Julian Barber, the weather girl on Fox Football. Well the reporter on the show read some of the transcripts from the Diane Sawyer interview with Whitney. Apparently Whitney admitted to abusing cocaine. Sawyer asked her was it alcohol, weed, pills, cocaine. Whitney apparently said it was all of it. Also she said that she's not currently using drugs. And yes she did almost die as reported due to drugs. But get this, she's not in rehab. She says that everyday she prays to Jesus. According to the transcript, at the end of the interview she says something like "Jesus loves me this I know". God is Good, and he can help you through anything, but I do that rehab is a good idea along with spiritual counseling. The interview should be very interesting.

Bobby looks high throughout the entire video. I like the song, but Ja could have found someone else to do the hooks!

CTFU.
IMO:
Whether Booby "King of Rocks and Blunts" Brown was cute was irrelevant.

Ol' Boobster was available, single and heterosexual -- fit Whit's needs perfectly at that time, because the lesbanian rumors were flying.

He was quite cracking in the video

... Jumping around like a dayum fool. Did it take all of that to sing the hook? I don't think so!
I think Ja was using him for hype...so that people would pay attention to the song...
Bad move ja...baaaaad move.

You all know that Bobby is just glad to be back on the scene. After all those years of not feeling wanted someone (ja) is trying to be nice to him. Maybe that was why he was jumping around like he won a million dollar sweepstakes...............

or better in his case, won a sack full of dope.
