LOS ANGELES - Whitney Houston, who ruled as pop music's queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, erratic behavior and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown, died Saturday. She was 48.

Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen told reporters outside the Beverly Hilton that Houston was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. in her room on the fourth floor of the hotel. Her body remained there and Beverly Hills detectives were investigating.

Fuck; WOW!!!

Terrible, just terrible.

Yeah, the day before the awards show ...
... I mean, I expected this, just not for a few more years

Honestly I didn't expect this, I always thought she was doing pretty well. But I haven't watched any news for several years so I haven't been keeping up with the gossip.

I think the only one really surprised by this is Whitney herself ...

Drown in a bathtub ...
... I can't wait to see the toxicology report(s) on this one!

Meh, I dont care.

This one, Michael Jackson, and others aren't shocking at all.

It's a celebrity that has fallen out of the spotlight.  The next time you hear a big news story about them, it's probably going to be because they died.
