It's being reported that Whitney Houston blew her fortune on drugs and the party life. She should have married Obama and the US printing press could pick up the tab:

By the end, Whitney Houston had thrown away every last scrap of the poise and beauty that had made her the ultimate diva of her generation.

Leaving a Hollywood nightclub two days before her death, she was drenched in sweat and disoriented, a wad of mint chewing gum visible in her gaping mouth.

Blood from a cut trickled down her leg. But the lady herself, surrounded by party-loving hangers-on, didn’t seem to notice.

Later that year, she and Brown were found to be carrying marijuana on a trip to Hawaii.

The secret is out: Pictures of Whitney's bathroom in 2006, strewn with drug paraphernalia

Alternately waving and cursing, this was not the Whitney who conquered the world - a church-going supermodel with a once-in-a-generation voice of exceptional power and sweetness.

This was a woman who, despite at least three attempts at rehab in the past eight years, appeared fully in the grip of drug addiction: wired, wrecked and out of control. Inside the club, it is claimed, she nearly came to blows with a partygoer who she felt had ‘got into her face’.

So why could nobody save Whitney Houston? In truth, having spent almost two decades destroying herself, she was past saving.

Her home in New Jersey was said to be in danger of being repossessed. Another home in Atlanta already had been.

She was partying at the Beverly Hilton only because she was on someone else’s tab: the record label was paying for her to be with them in the run-up to last night’s Grammy awards.
