For years, Whitney Houston has been hammered mercilessly in the tabloid press. 2006 is worse than ever, as questionable stories pile up from dubious sources.

You may have read the most recent allegations about Whitney's health. Here is the word from Whitney, direct from her official website, posted on May 12, 2006?

"False Reports Regarding Whitney's Health"

"Please note that reports on Whitney's health circulating in the media at present are not true and totally unfounded."

I'm amazed at how fast people will "drop a dime" on the press for a few quick bucks, to sell their "insider stories" to the media.

Celebrities put their faith and trust in colleagues, friends, and family members to do the right thing. Unfortunately, loyalty goes out the window when close associates sell their "insider secrets" for a big payday.

As a classic soul and pop diva, Whitney Houston is without question, a huge success. She's sold over 120 million albums, and 50 million singles worldwide.

The wild side of her lifestyle has been well documented, so the media is not totally to blame when they exploit her legacy.

You may have purchased a tabloid just to read a cover story about Whitney. Were you manipulated?

Being Bobby Brown, the recent reality television show about her husband and family, got big ratings because of Whitney's presence in the program.

The TV show just added to the media frenzy surrounding a well known couple, struggling to remain in the spotlight, and attempting to climb back into the celebrity "A" list.

Whitney Houston is a unique talent, who may have foolishly lost her focus, due to demons that she can't control. I'm not going to cast the first stone, but she hasn't received fair press, even if all of the so called allegations are true.
