Truth And Unanswered Questions Behind Whitney Houston's Death !

 What we know for sure is that authorities were called to Houston's hotel room at 3:43 p.m. Saturday after her bodyguard found her unconscious.

Houston was found in the room's bathtub, according to the news entertainment website TMZ. Pill bottles were found at the scene, TMZ said, citing sources close to Houston, and her bodyguard attempted CPR. She was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m., authorities stated.

There were "no obvious signs of criminal intent," said Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen.

While Houston had battled drug addiction for years, she was attempting a comeback, playing a few shows and working on a movie, "Sparkle," set for release this summer. An unnamed music industry executive, who was staying in the room above Houston, said she had seen Houston and her daughter swimming in the hotel pool a few days ago. The two looked happy, she said, and Houston looked healthy and beautiful.

Her daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, 18, was taken to Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Sunday, police in Beverly Hills said. No information on her condition was available

Houston's former husband, entertainer Bobby Brown, issued a statement Sunday:

"I am deeply saddened at the passing of my ex-wife," the statement read. "At this time, we ask for privacy, especially for my daughter, Bobbi Kristina. I appreciate all of the condolences that have been directed toward my family and I at this most difficult time."

The party Houston was set to attend Saturday night was hosted by Clive Davis, her mentor. It went on as scheduled, but Houston's death cast a shadow over the event.

"I do have a heavy heart, and I am personally devastated," Davis told the gathering of artists and entertainers that included Tony Bennett, Gladys Knight and Britney Spears. He asked for a moment of silence, and said, "My heart goes out to her daughter, Bobbi Kristina, and her mother, Cissy."

However, many questions swirled Sunday about the cause of Houston's death. Police were tight-lipped, saying Sunday no further updates would be issued before Monday. An autopsy could take place as soon as Sunday, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner's office, although toxicology tests typically take several weeks.

Meanwhile, Houston fans gathered outside the hotel Saturday night, lighting candles and placing roses outside.

"Everyone has their own demons, and some overcome them and some never do," said fan Tya Conerly.

And with the Grammy Awards set for Sunday night, organizers hastily put into motion plans to honor Houston during the ceremony, with the help of singer Jennifer Hudson.

There will be a "respectful musical tribute," said Ken Ehrlich, executive producer. "It's too fresh in everyone's memory to do more at this time, but we would be remiss if we didn't recognize Whitney's remarkable contribution to music fans in general, and in particular her close ties with the Grammy telecast and her Grammy wins and nominations over the years."

Spartacus Star Dies At 39 !

Andy Whitfield lost his 18 month-long battle to Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma on September 11, 2011. 

He was only 39 years old.


Whitfield became famous for his leading role in the Starz original series, Spartacus: Blood and Sand.


In 2009, Andy landed the role as Spartacus, which immediately launched him to stardom. The first season of the show proved to be popular among audiences primarily because of Whitfield's amazing portrayal of the slave-leading character, Spartacus. Naturally, Starz renewed the series for a second season, but was put on hiatus due to Andy's cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately, Andy was never able to film the second season - but did make a brief appearance in the prequel series, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.

RIP Andy Whitfield.

Why Is Usher Compared To Whitney Houston?

Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with R&B singer Usher.

 According to the Mediatakeout.com , someone close to the singer claims that he's been acting very CRACK-ISH lately. One insider explained, "Usher went down about 4 SIZES. He used to be a size 34 - now he's a 30." The insider continued, "I don't know what's going on. I know he smokes weed and does a lot of Ecstasy ... [I hope] he's not using cocaine."


Another MTO insider who witnessed the R&B singer's recent behavior in Germany was even more direct. The insider explained, "When Usher was on stage he looked and acted like a CRACKHEAD. It's almost like a Whitney Houston concert."

According to the website "You'll see that after he's finished, he clearly starts CRYING!!!!"

Well, I can't beleive that in the end of the video below after he leaves the stage, he starts crying. I have rewinded the video many times and I don't see something like that. He is certainly not in the mood, like he doesn't want to perform. He is really disappointed by his performance and can't face his fans. Definitely a bad moment!Maybe he has a serious personal problem. Watch the video below and feel free to comment.

Is Whitney Houston's Death A Suicide ?

  According to MediaTakeOut.com  there is suspicion that Whitney Houston's death is a suicide.

"Early reports are that Whitney may have died of a drug overdose, and possibly a suicide!!!

We just got word that Whitney was found by her bodyguard named RAY. Despite earlier reports, Ray J was NOT WITH HER when she died.

Police have finally spoken out. They CONFIRMED that Whitney was found inside her hotel room with "an entourage." The police claim that as of now, they do not believe that she was MURDERED!!!

They did not say however, how they believed, Whitney died.

Just two days ago, MediaTakeOut.com showed you pics of Whitney with SLASHED WRISTS . . . and soaked in blood. At the time, an insider told MediaTakeOut.com that they were "worried that Whitney would do something" to herself."

I have seen the pictures of Whitney with her wrists and legs soaked in blood. It's so sad to watch...

I beleive that it's very soon to jump into conclusions right now.

There is not enough evidence. It's very immature and irresponsible to speculate without proper proof.

Time will tell...

RIP Whitney. You will be greatly missed.

Bobby Brown Pays Tribute To Whitney Houston

Bobby Brown was on stage performing with New Edition at a show in Mississippi just hours after his ex-wife Whitney Houston was found dead at the Beverly Hilton hotel Saturday.

Us Weekly reports that Brown missed the first song of the set, but then joined New Edition onstage.

Bobby Brown expressed his love for the late Whitney Houston on Saturday night while performing onstage with New Edition at the Landers Center in Southaven, MS., according to the Associated Press. "First of all, I want to tell you that I love you all,"Brown told the audience. "Second, I would like to say, "I love you Whitney." The hardest thing for me to do is come on this stage."

 At one point in the concert, a teary Brown shouted "I love you, Whitney!" and blew a kiss toward the sky. While performing "Tenderoni," Brown broke down, sobbing and asked the crowd to sing along.



 It has to be mentioned that Brown heard about the death of his ex-wife while getting ready to perform with the reunited New Edition. Brown said he decided to perform the show because of the support fans had shown the band over the years. During an intermission, Houston’s hit “You Give Good Love” played over the speakers.

Joan Rivers Smokes Weed On A TV Reality Show To Get Ratings !

Joan Rivers is no stranger to controversy, but smoking weed on TV to get ratings? That may be a little too much.

Blackbook Mag reported the 78-year-old comedian can be seen on Tuesday night’s episode of her WE reality show with daughter Melissa, Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?, high as a kite.

In fact, Rivers was so stoned that after a friend drove her back home, she ended up with all of her clothes on in a hot tub, drinking tub water out of her shoe.

According to the UK’s Daily Mail, the E! Fashion Police co-host smoked pot to relieve stress after her daughter invited her boyfriend’s parents to stay over at her place.

She and her friend, Lynne, obtain a prescription from a medical marijuana doctor and then head over to a cannabis shop, where Rivers tries out a bong before purchasing a pipe.


The two then get back into their car and start smoking.

Soon after, Rivers begins acting like a teenager, saying she has a case of the munchies and wants "to eat right now, lets go".

Fortunately, she recognizes that her friend is also not in a state to be driving and calls Melissa, who arrives furious and "ashamed of both you."

Her attempts to put them both to bed back at home are futile and she later finds them both in the hot tub.


However, Melissa’s sense of humor taps in and she begins laughing at the situation.

Wonder what Chelsea Handler thinks about this. Check out a video of stoned Joan below.

This is certainly out of line! It shouldn't air on tv in my opinion.

Ambition has its limits. This is sick!

Smoking pot on a tv show, it's like encouraging people to beleive that this is normal. How irresponsible is that?? Joan Rivers is far beyond of being a role model!That's for  sure!

 Considering that she is 78 years old, it's inexcusable! She has my granny's age! It's not cool at all! They are kids and teenagers watching these tv programs! 

The sad thing is that under the you tube video, there are comments, such as "You go Joan! You are the Queen!You are so cool". Well, no wonder why drug addiction spreads like a virus...It all starts with cannabis and then ends up with cocaine, meth, crack etc.

What do you think of it? Should celebrities do drugs in front of an audience?

Is Whitney Houston Dead or A Simple Internet Rumor?

 According to the ABC News Whitney Houston's rep issued a shocked denial today to counter reports that the singer/actress has died.

In a statement, her publicist, Nancy Seltzer, said, "I've just spoken to Whitney. She is perfectly fine and does not understand why, with everything going on in the world right now, they have to find new rumors to dig up. She is home in New Jersey with her family." Seltzer said people were calling the singer at home and sobbing, after apparently having heard reports of her death over the radio. According to the rumors, Houston had died of a drug overdose.

Fans and the media have speculated about Houston's health after her performance at Friday's Michael Jackson tribute concert at Madison Square Garden, where she appeared shockingly thin, even skeletal. The singer then bowed out of the second night of the concert without explanation, prompting heightened speculation about her health. Houston has long been rumored to have drug problems, and in Tuesday's edition of the New York Daily News — which was evidently published before horrific terrorist attacks brought the city to a standstill — Seltzer denied fresh reports that her celebrity client was on drugs. 

The weird thing is that all newspapers, magazines and even the most reliable source to me, Wikipedia, state the opposite.

What do you think? Another Internet rumor?

Who Is Lillian Muller And What's All The Fuss About Her?

This year's Grammy nominations concert raised rumors of a Van Halen reunion performance. 

While the band never materialized onstage that night (much to the disappointment of the fans, who still hope the band will surface in some capacity on Grammy night), it is now kicking off a tour that it advertised with a video remix that includes "Hot for Teacher."

The original music video for that 1984 song turned a spotlight on Lillian Muller, who played a teacher that inspired the attention of the students.

Apart from the "Hot for Teacher" video, who is Lillian Muller and why is she so unique?

 Muller ( more than 25 years later) ,after she stopped her modeling career, has carved out a career as an inspirational speaker, personal health consultant, and author. She has been a vegetarian since she was 27 (and despite her rock 'n' roll resumé has never had a drink in her life!), which she says has helped keep her "Hot for Teacher" physique intact. 

Muller auditioned to play the teacher but thought she wouldn't get the part because of her age. "I was early 30s at the time. I was a little old for the role," she says, admitting she has never seen the music video. "But now I am in my 60s."

Muller celebrated 60 this summer and sent her 21-year-old daughter off to college (but not before they both posed in matching white bikinis for a photo shoot). She's now posing for AARP instead of Playboy, but her looks haven't changed all that dramatically over the decades.


"I eat mostly raw food. People think I'm 40," she claimed.

Lillian Muller now, at 60. Courtesy Lillian Muller For music buffs, she also played the object of Rod Stewart's affection in "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" in 1978. She says that none of the rockers she worked with flirted with her. Her Hollywood romances, she reveals, were with then-"Magnum P.I." star Tom Selleck and Hugh Hefner.

Muller is still acting but also has become an author (she wrote "Feel Great, Be Beautiful Over 40" in 1995). She is now a personal health consultant and inspirational speaker. She never married, but was engaged multiple times. 

"I always changed my mind in the end," she said. One thing she has no doubts about is that she would step up for another video now that the band is back together, and she has more to offer. "I'm a more valuable package now than in my 30s. I still have my physical condition, and I've become a much wiser person," said Muller, who has never had Botox or facial plastic surgery. "I would definitely appear in any video that would be classy and exciting."

Muller is beyond doubt a very unique case. I was very impressed by her awesome website. If you want more information about Lillian Muller, please visit this link...

Beyonce And Jay-Z Trademark Blue Ivy's Name!

Beyoncé and Jay-Z have filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect their month-old baby's name and reserve it for future use, MTV News has confirmed.

The superstar couple reportedly sought the trademark to stop the use of Blue Ivy's name by others.

It's a smart move, according to family law attorney and author Vikki Ziegler. "[Seeking the trademark] forestalls competitors from using the child's name and or third parties from attempting to sell the baby's name back to the couple," Ziegler told MTV News. "They are likely trying to protect what they rightfully own or created, shall we say, by trademarking Blue Ivy's name."

The application to trademark Blue Ivy Carter's name, filed by BGK Trademark Holdings (Beyoncé's company) is currently pending but will likely be approved because, as the Washington Post reports, parents are legally authorized to trademark the names of their minor children.


"In essence, it's a trademark for a brand, and this brand is expected to be one hot commodity — just look at Blue Ivy's parents," Ziegler said. "Anyone else that tried to use the name after the trademark was approved could be sued and held liable for damages."

While the Patent Office looks fondly on attempts to trademark the name of one's own child, attempts to do the same with the names of other people's kids are another story, as two designers learned when they sought — just days after Blue Ivy's birth — to trademark the baby's name for their own use.

Applications from fashion designer Joseph Mbeh to patent "Blue Ivy Carter NYC" and by an unnamed designer to trademark "Blue Ivy Carter Glory IV" for a fragrance line were denied by the Patent Office, which noted in its decision that the name belonged to a "very famous infant" and consumers would wrongly assume that any products bearing the name had been approved by Beyoncé and Jay-Z.

Ziegler noted that the trademark would "protect against others using the child's name as a brand of merchandise in the same marketplace," so it will not impact the "Blue Ivy" trademark held by a clothing boutique in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. The store filed to trademark its name on January 19, 2011, a year before Queen B and Jay made the name famous. They received approval on August 23 — five days before Beyoncé announced her pregnancy at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Macaulay Culkin's Shocking Pics Make Fans Wonder If He Has Drug Addiction

It seems as if Macaulay Culkin has been left home alone without any food.

The former child star looks nothing like the adorable 8-year-old he once was in the movies, appearing gaunt, pale and skeletal as he posed for pictures with fans in the city this week.

The shocking pictures have fans of the “Home Alone” star, now 31, worried he might be seriously ill.

But a rep for the manorexic-looking movie star claimed yesterday he’s in fine shape and has no problem with drugs or alcohol.

"Macaulay Culkin is in perfectly good health," his rep, Michelle Bega, stated. "For any media outlet to speculate otherwise is reckless, thoughtless and destructive."

 It has to be mentioned that Culkin was arrested for possessing pot, Xanax and pain pills in 2004.

Bega refused to reveal how Culkin supports himself, but admitted he has no upcoming projects.

Industry sources said Culkin pays bills with millions he still has left from his years as the world’s most successful child star since Shirley Temple.


He also earns pocket change from bit parts in independent films, TV voice-over work and occasional club gigs where he “deejays” — creating a 6-hour lplaylist on his iPod and then plugging it into a club’s sound system.

Last night, he was supposed to bring the act, aptly called “Macaulay Culkin’s iPod,” to the Bleecker Street lounge "Le Poisson Rouge".

But a few hours beforehand, the nightspot announced on Facebook that Culkin wouldn’t be there.

His iPod was sent over, but the event’s name was changed to “Macaulay Culkin’s Food Drive.”

Fans were instructed to "Bring Canned Goods to Get in Free to the Party," but only a couple of items were there.

One of Culkin’s pals said the actor was doing well and, "Everyone has weird photographs. He’s awesome, he’s great."

What do you think? Is Macaulay anorexic, depressed, drug and alcohol addict or absolutely healthy?
