died from drugs and not from drowning
in her hotel bathtub.
It's reported that the Coroner reveals
that there wasn't enough water in the
star's lungs for her to have died from
drowning. It's believed that the star
had died from a drug overdose and
collapsed into the bath- which explains
why the paramedics found Whitney
submerged in the bath water.

before she died, it's expected that the star
died from a combination of drugs and
alcohol.
In the meantime, the star's daughter,
Bobbi Kristina Brown, 18, has been
rushed to hospital twice in 48 hours.
Reports even hint that Bobbi Kristina
may have attempted suicide and

Whitney Houston in her glory years!
The world has lost it's most iconic singing
superstar. It is with deep sadness that
Whitney Houston has tragically died
from a reported drug overdose, paramedics
were called to her hotel room at
the Beverly Hilton in L.A, the medics tried
their best to revive Whitney but she did
not respond to their efforts to revive the star.
The singer was pronounced dead and
her remains were transported to the
L.A County Morgue.
Millions of fans and celebs
took to the net to pay tribute
to the late star .
Whitney's version of Dolly Parton's song
I Will Always Love You was covered by Houston
as the soundtrack to the film hit, The Bodyguard,
which also starred Whitney, who made this song
one of the biggest music songs of her time.
Whitney's unique interpretation of the song
turned her into the biggest global music star.
Dolly Parton paid tribute to her pal,
Whitney Houston:
"I will always be grateful and in awe of the
wonderful performance she did on my song and
I can truly say from the bottom of my heart,
'Whitney, I will always love you.
You will be missed'."

'Whitney Houston was the first cd I ever bought.
She had a God given gift.
Hopefully, she’s singing with angels now.'
LeAnn Rimes
The 48-year-old star had been battling with
addiction to hard drugs and alcohol for
years and only this week photos emerged
of the star with a glazed look over her eyes,
she looked very unwell and troubled.
Whitney Houston had a divine voice,
elegance and grace about her. Her
incredible talent earned her many
awards thoughout her career but
sadly the pressures of her famous
lifestyle proved fatal to her
well being in the end.
Whitney leaves behind her ex-husband,
Bobby Brown and their daughter,
Bobbi Kristina
I think the whole world is in shock
right now that we have lost her at
such a young age. She had so much
more to live for, which is so tragic.
Whitney thank you for your sweet music,
which brightened up my day and
my life X
RIP Whitney X
May you be at peace
and sing with the choirs
in heaven X

Sir Paul McCartney and his son James
share a very strong ressemblance to
eachother!
They look so alike! From
the thin eyebrows and lips to their
round eyes and wide chin.

famous father.

but then again they were at a party
together so that might be down to
a good glass of bubbly!
The only difference is the hair colour!
James' mother Linda McCartney had
the fair hair in the family,
however notice that James' hair colour
has more of a ginger tinge to it.

Home Alone star, Macaulay Culkin,31,
has been spotted in New York this week,
looking painfully thin and gaunt in
the face. Fears have grown for the star's
health, as it's believed he's getting thin
for a new film. Notice he's holding a
can of a well known high caffeine
stimulant drink, which Demi Moore
has reportedly been consuming a lot
of late.

at Michael Jackson's burial in 2009.
Notice Mac had a much fuller face back then.
However Macaulay's reps have dissed
claims that the star is ill.
2012 sees a much thinner and
somewhat withdrawn Mac,
while in 2009 Mac looked healthy happy
and in love with Mila Kunis.
If it's a nutrition problem, hopefully
Mac can get the right nutritionist with
the best dietary advice. This man needs
a good square meal in him!

If I had my way I think there should
be an age limit.
I had my first boob job when I was 18
and realistically
I think that's too young. I think 21."

Like many former glamour models,
Katie has experienced problems
