Just yesterday it was announced that Whitney Houston is in an out-patient rehabilitation program for drugs and alcohol and now she has been given a ban from seeing Prince in concert because she is basically a mess.
TMZ reports that people working for Prince have gotten so sick of her drunken behavior and constant ticket demands so they have now banned her from attending his future shows.
On top of being drunk, and possibly on drugs, at every show she also wanted to get up on stage at most of the shows so they eventually let her up on stage at The Forum in Los Angeles and this is the result of that:
What a mess. In other news, Radar Online are reporting that Whitney’s is going back to the old days with her choice of drugs if Bobby Brown is to be believe. He is going around saying that Whitney is back on crack. A friend of Bobby said “It’s the worst it’s ever been. Whitney went on tour again, and that’s when the relapse occurred. Whitney’s shutting a lot of people out of her life. It is a dire situation.”
Let’s all get a prayer circle together and hope she gets herself together, but I honestly don’t see it happening for a long time.
Earlier today TMZ broke the news that Whitney Houston had checked herself in to an out-patient rehabilitation program but sources close to the singer said it wasn’t for drugs or alcohol. But now it’s been confirmed that it is indeed for drugs.
Whitney entered the program at her own will about 10 days ago to help battle her ongoing trouble with alcohol and drugs, a rep for the singer confirms it telling People:
“Whitney Houston is currently in an out-patient rehab program for drug and alcohol treatment, Whitney voluntarily entered the program to support her long-standing recovery process.”
In the out-patient program Whitney is allowed out in public as long as she wears a montior on her. A source also said that part of the reason she entered this program is to help “cleanse” herself for a new movie.
Whitney Houston‘s 18-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown may be in trouble again.
It’s no secret that Houston has had her own battles with drug addiction after much personal-turned-public turmoil and a stint in rehab in the early 2000s. But following photos that recently surfaced of Bobbi Kristina snorting cocaine, Houston is stepping up and stepping in.
According to the National Enquirer, in an attempt to save her adolescent daughter from repeating her own mistakes, the 47-year-old mama has reportedly canceled Bobbi Kristina’s 18th birthday celebration at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, is taking back the Lexus she gifted her daughter and is sending her straight to rehab.
Bobbi Kristina attempted to debunk the cocaine photos on Twitter recently, and now she’s back to shoot down rehab rumors, tweeting, “Excuse me, but I’d like to say that I am NOT going to rehab? I’m perfectly healthy and I am not addicted to anything but life.”
Houston credits her own mother, Cissy Houston, with saving her from her addiction to crack cocaine. Houston told Oprah in 2009 that her mother forced her to rehab after getting a court injunction that allowed her to stage an intervention with armed police at Houston’s door in 2004.
Bobbi Kristina’s father — R&B bad boy and Houston’s ex-husband, Bobby Brown — has a drug history of his own, and his daughter seems to be following in both her parents’ hard-partying footsteps. This isn’t the first news of the famous offspring’s teen troubles. Rumors have also recently surfaced of a Bobbi Kristina sex tape.
The man who ran onto the field at the Yankee Statium on Monday night is said to be obsessed with Cameron Diaz, which is why he tried to get on the pitch to confront Alex Rodriguez.
33-year-old Grim LeRogue, yes – that is actually his name because he legally changed it from Joe Rogan, was carrying five pictures on him when he ran towards the pitch.
One photo was of Cameron with the message “we will be together soon,” written on it. Another photo of ARod had an X scrawled across his face with a gun pointing towards the head, it also had a written message saying “you have to go bud, you’ve ruined too many of our white queens.”
A third photo he was carrying was of Osama bin Laden, who he describes as his master, with the caption “I will serve you.” He also had a photo of Whitney Houston with the caption “Whitney Bin Laden, you will soon be my master’s wife.” The final photo was of Houston’s ex-husband, Bobby Brown, which simply had “you need to be terminated,” written on it.
LeRogue’s mother, Cathy, said “I just can’t believe this, he drank in his day when he was younger, he’s not like this saintly kid, but he’s 33 years old now, so give me a break.”
She also said that he has written a 700-page book about ninjas that he plans to self-publish, so a big part of the reason he did this was to get publicity. He was taken to the Lincoln Hospital in The Bronx for psychiatric evaluation.
This man needs to get serious help as soon as possible. Grim LeRogue is a good name though.

Over the years there has been some absolutely ridiculous excuses from celebrities when they try to get out of trouble with the law, here is a list of the top 10 worst excuses:
10. Nicole Richie’s Menstrual Cramps
Back in 2006, Richie was arrested after being pulled over for driving on the wrong side of the road. She was issued a DUI charge and confessed to smoking weed and using Vicodin beforehand. When questioned about the Vicodin, Richie claimed she only took it because of her bout with bad menstrual cramps. Um, TMI.
9. Lindsay Lohan’s Stolen Passport
After missing her DUI process hearing because she was partying it up in Cannes, Lindsay claimed her dear passport got stolen while she was lounging on luxurious French yachts. The judge didn’t buy it and issued a bench warrant for her arrest and set bail at $100,000. She got a new passport and posted bail, but it made for a typical LiLo moment.
8. Britney’s Blames Bad Parenting on Louisiana
Normal people everywhere freaked when they saw the photo of Britney driving with her 4-month-old baby, Sean Preston, on her lap back in 2006. Charges weren’t pressed because the lack of evidence as to where it happened, but Brit blamed the paparrazzi and the fact that she’s Southern. She told Matt Lauer, “I did it with my dad. I’d sit on his lap and I drive. We’re country.” Like we couldn’t tell by your trashy trucker hats and run-down cowboy boots.
7. Whitney’s Too Rich for Crack
In 2002, Whitney Houston gave an infamous interview with Diane Sawyer about her album, “Just Whitney,” which turned into long-winded questioning about her alleged drug abuse. In response to the claims, she said, “First of all, let’s get one thing straight. Crack is cheap. I make too much money to ever smoke crack. Let’s get that straight. Okay? We don’t do crack. We don’t do that. Crack is wack.” Quite a cute poem if you ask me.
6. Jeffrey Donovan Blames the Benadryl
Burn Notice star Jeffrey Donovan was pulled over last summer in Miami on suspicion of drunk driving. The 41-year-old actor told police that he only had three drinks at the Fontainebleau Hotel. He then failed a sobriety test and claimed, “The only mistake I made tonight was drinking Benadryl with 3 glasses of wine.” Bloodshot eyes don’t lie, Jeff.
5. Paris Hilton’s Chewing Gum
Probably the most recent celebrity excuse given was that of Paris Hilton who claimed to have thought that the cocaine she was carrying was merely gum. Cops pulled over the car of her boyfriend Cy Waits after smelling marijuana. While getting questioned, she asked to put on some lip balm (paps were filming after all) and the baggy fell from her purse. Las Vegas prosecuters didn’t believe she was that naive (surprise!) and charged her with a felony drug possession. She later pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to probation, community service, fines and a court-ordered drug abuse program.
4. Tom Sizemore’s Package Problems
Actor Tom Sizemore was caught using a prosthetic penis called “The Whizzinator” to pass a random drug test given by his court-ordered drug rehab councelor at the Tarzana Treatment Center in 2007. He actually seemed to get away with it until they asked for him to take another test because the urine didn’t seem warm enough. He then pulled the device from the trash can and confessed to using crystal meth. I couldn’t make this stuff up.
3. Eddie Murphy’s Philanthropic Prostitute Ways
Eddie Murphy claims he was just being a good Samaritan in 1997 when cops pulled him over and found a male transvestite prostitute in his car. Murphy claimed he was giving the poor 20-year-old a much-needed ride home, something small compared to the thousands of dollars he hands out to other hookers. “When I’m doing something charitable, I’m not doing it for publicity,” he said. “When I do something, it’s out of the goodness of my heart.” Um…or another part of his body.
2. Winona’s Klepto Research
Winona Ryder was arrested in December 2001 for shoplifting over $5,500 worth of designer clothes and accessories from a Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills. She claimed it was a “misunderstanding” and that she was just researching for an upcoming role. Of course, nobody bought that story and she was convicted of felony grand theft and vandalism (later reduced to midemeanors). She was also sentenced to three years probation as well as fines and restitution, comunity service and a counceling program. All because she didn’t want to dip into her million-dollar savings account.
1. Larry Craig’s Wide Stance
The former republican politician was arrested outside a men’s restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in June 2007 on suspicion of lewd conduct. An undercover police officer said Craig was trying to solicit sexual activity by making signals under the stall. Craig claimed he just has a naturally “wide stance” and was trying to pick off paper from the floor. Um, what? Ew. That’s almost worse. He later pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct charge and unsurprisngly resigned from his Senate post.
Pretty good list but I would have included Jeremy Piven and his mercury poisoning excuse to the list.

We all love a good celebrity feud, especially when they are so open about their feelings, so AOL have come up with some of the bitchiest celebrity quotes of all time.
13. Lily Allen on Cheryl Cole: “Taking your clothes off, doing sexy dancing and marrying a rich footballer must be very gratifying, your mother must be so proud, stupid b*tch”
Shutting Lily Allen up is not easy, as Cheryl Cole found out after she crossed paths with the mouthy singer (see below to see the quote that got Lily fired up). In retaliation, Lily posted this famous quote on her blog. The atmosphere between the pair is still icy, with Cheryl reportedly threatening to walk from The X Factor if Lily goes anywhere near the show. Bitch rating 6/10
12. Whitney Houston on Madonna: “She’s the high priestess of tack”
Whitney and Madonna have never quite seen eye to eye. Back in the day when Whitney sold as many records as Madonna and could actually still sing, she made this comment about Madonna’s sexual image. She also said she would disown her children if they grew up to be anything like Madge. Let’s hope Whitney’s daughter Bobbi Christina doesn’t own any crucifixes or lacy gloves then. Bitch rating 6/10
11. Sharon Osbourne on Dannii Minogue: “She’s as dim as a bulb in a power cut… f***ing useless”
The X Factor is a breeding ground for bitching, especially when Sharon Osbourne’s involved. Somewhat miffed by having to sit next to the younger and prettier Dannii on the show’s judging panel, Sharon made this comment on Kylie’s sister after she quit the show. She also called Dannii an “annoying mosquito that you want to flick away”. Bitch rating 7/10
10. Sharon Osbourne on Nicole Kidman: “Her forehead looks like a f***ing flatscreen TV”
Ah, Sharon Osbourne again. You can always rely on Sharon for a juicy bitchfest. She made this quote in response to Moulin Rouge star Nicole Kidman’s claim that she hadn’t been under the surgeon’s knife. We’re actually with Sharon on this one. Bitch rating 7/10
9. Donald Trump on Rosie O’Donnell: “A fat pig. A degenerate. Unattractive.”
It’s not only women who bitch about each other. One of the most entertaining feuds in America is this one between two of the country’s highest-profile TV stars, Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell. It all started when Rosie criticised the Miss USA contest which Donald owns the rights to. Mr Trump responded with the delightful comment above. Charming. Bitch rating 8/10
8. Victoria Beckham singing to Katie Price: “Who let the dogs out!”
Another famous celebrity feud is the one between Victoria Beckham and Katie Price. This one began when Katie was dating Manchester United footballer Dwight Yorke and turned up at the club’s ground to be greeted by the sound of Victoria singing the Baha Men song ‘Who Let The Dogs Out’ at her. Tensions between the pair have been icy ever since, with Price calling Posh talentless and Vicky blanking Katie at an Elton John charity bash. Bitch rating: 8/10
7. Naomi Campbell to Tyra Banks: “You’ll never be me. Don’t ever think you’ll be me”
The feud between Naomi and Tyra is the stuff of fashion legend. Tyra claims it was partly Naomi that forced her to quit the modelling industry for good. Banks claims queen bitch Campbell made this comment backstage at a fashion show in Milan, although during a rare TV interview together where Tyra squeezed a not-very-convincing apology out of Naomi, Miss Campbell denied she had ever said it. Bitch rating 8/10
6. Cheryl Cole on Lily Allen: “Everyone wants to look like her? Chick with a dick”
Cheryl Cole and Lily Allen have exchanged so many unpleasantries that you could fill a book with them. This is the one that got Lily so irate that she responded with the quote above. It all started when Lily called Cheryl’s Girls Aloud bandmate Nicola Roberts ‘the ugly one’, to which Cheryl retaliated with this corker of a quote. Bitch rating 9/10
5. Christina Aguilera on Lady Gaga: “I’m not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don’t know if it is a man or a woman”
Back when Lady GaGa was but a mere newcomer on the music scene she was accused of copying Christina Aguilera, not the other way round as is the case now. When asked what she thought of Gaga stealing her style, Christina chipped in with the hilarious quote above. When told who Gaga was, she added: “Oh, the newcomer? I think she’s really fun to look at”. Meeooowww! Bitch rating 9/10
4. Lindsay Lohan on Keira Knightley: “That flat-chested cardboard cut-out”
Far be it from the acting illuminai that is La Lohan to criticise any other actresses, but it seems that’s exactly what she did when she made this comment about Oscar-nominated Keira. And Lindsay didn’t stop there, she also called Sienna Miller “a no-talent crackhead”, and allegedly scrawled graffiti saying Scarlett Johansson was “fat and ugly” on a toilet wall in a bar in New York. She needs locking up! Bitch rating: 9/10
3. Joan Collins on Linda Evans: “It’s quite off putting to have to look at that face”
The legendary Dynasty bitch fights between Alexis and Crystle weren’t just for the TV cameras. Behind the scenes, actresses Joan Collins and Linda Evans hated each other just as much as their alter-egos did. When the pair reunited for the play Legends in 2006, Joan went on record with this fabulously bitchy quote about her co-star’s penchant for cosmetic surgery: “Linda arrives at first rehearsal with cosmetic surgery tape over and under her eyelids and underneath her chin. She also has the weirdest collagen enhanced lips I’ve ever seen. They make her look like a gargoyle when she smiles”. Bitch rating: 10/10
2. Sharon Osbourne on Susan Boyle: “She’s been hit with the ugly stick. You just want to say God bless and here’s a Gillette razor”
Osbourne matriarch Sharon makes her third appearance on our list for this shocker of a quote made on live radio in the US. Asked about Britain’s Got Talent singing sensation Susan Boyle, Sharon’s mouth ran away with her and before long the quote had rippled across the Atlantic. America’s Got Talent judge Sharon was sure to have got a rap on the knuckles from her boss Simon Cowell, and she has since made a public apology to Subo. Bitch rating: 10/10
1. Etta James on Beyonce: “I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her ass whupped. I can’t stand Beyonce”
Soul legend Etta James was far from amused when Beyonce was invited to sing her song At Last at Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony in 2009. The singer, who Beyonce had also portrayed in the film Cadillac Records much to James’ disgust, piped up: “She had no business singing my song that I’ve been singing forever.” Bitch rating 10/10
I love that Sharon Osbourne is on this list so much, that’s why I love her.

Most celebrities are pretty screwed up in the head so it’s no surprise nearly all of them have meltdowns and burnouts, here is a list of some of the biggest ones in recent memory.
Joaquin Phoenix
Joaquin Pheonix’s personal meltdown became more and more noticeable as his beard grew longer and the shades stopped coming off. The climax of it all was when he appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman. Avoiding eye contact behind his shades, barely speaking and stating that he planned on retiring his acting career to start his rap career, Joaquin shocked us all. His entire meltdown was actually captured on camera as a documentary known as I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix by Casey Affleck, and is said to come out in September.
Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson takes the cake right now for most out of control celebrity. Five tapes have been released recording Mel’s outrageous conversations with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. Outraged, he threatened to burn the house down, demanded sex, and made numerous threats to Oksana. Unfortunately in the middle of all this is their 9-month-old daughter who the couple is fighting custody for.
Heidi Montag
You can’t be too normal and under control if you’re married to Spencer Pratt. Thus, Heidi Montag also has some serious issues of her own. Allowing Spencer to micromanage her life before finally splitting up was one fall for the mountain gal. She also at one point joined in on Spencer’s obsessive belief of crystals, and had 13 plastic surgery procedures done. Her next aspiration is H sized breast implants which stand for Heidi. If only we all dreamed so big!
Sean Penn
Speaking of meltdowns, Sean Penn does come to mind. The actor was recently videotaped kicking and apparently punching a celebrity photographer. Penn also threatened the photographer stating that the next time he sees him he’ll put him in a box. Now Sean is sentenced to three years of informal probation and 300 hours of community service.
David Hasslehoff
David Hasslehoff had his meltdown caught on tape in 2007. The clip showed the former Baywatch star intoxicated and incoherent as he sprawled out on the bathroom floor and ate a cheeseburger. The clip was shot by the elder of Hasselhoff and ex-wife Pamela Bach’s two children. David has struggled with alcohol addiction, but has since made an effort toward recovery.
Britney Spears
What goes up must come down, and Britney Spears is testament to that. The pop icon married and divorced dancer Kevin Federline years ago and that’s when her bizarre behavior began. A stint in rehab later, she lost custody of her two sons, shaved her head and then grew it all back. Just recently she had a major mood swing last month when she started screaming and making angry faces outside of a Starbucks.
Whitney Houston
The drama surrounding Whitney Houston’s life can be attributed to Bobby Brown quite easily, but in 2002, Whitney had an interview with Diane Sawyer that made her look ridiculous. Instead of clearing the rumors about her drug use and answering whether or not she ever used crack cocaine, Whit stated, “Crack is Whack,” the now famous quote. Prior to recently cleaning up her act, she also appeared everywhere looking like a total mess, and everyone could tell that wasn’t the Whitney who sang I Will Always Love You.
Lindsay Lohan
After Lindsay Lohan completed two stints in rehab and received two DUIs, she was charged with possession of cocaine and driving on a suspended license. On top of this the young star pulled a no-show at a mandatory progress review hearing and was forced to wear a SCRAM bracelet which went off two weeks later. Now she faces 90 days in jail and Lilo’s usual punishments can’t top this one.
Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise looks good in anything and doing anything, but watching him jump up and down on Oprah’s couch on national television had us all wondering. Yes, shouting out how much you love Katie Holmes is cute but its a little odd when you criticize Brooke Shields for taking antidepressants to treat her postpartum depression. However, at the end of the day Tom seems to have cooled off a bit recently.
Spencer Prat
Somehow we haven’t seen Spencer Pratt in court yet, but we’re sure it wouldn’t be a surprise. Unlike most stars caught in controversy, Spencer is stuck in his own little world. Spencer has been seen too-seriously sprinting through trails in full camo-gear, glasses, boots and knapsack. Before getting kicked off The Hills, friends started questioning his sanity and obsession with crystals. Pratt also dressed up as an older man and creepily stood across the street of the Roosevelt Hotel for The Hills finale event.
Who do you think is missing from this list? I would add Christian Bale for his batman rants and abusing his mother, I would also add Naomi Campbell for her explosive temper and then of course Courtney Love‘s whole life.

That’s seven minutes of your life that you will never get back. I apologize.
Now watch a Taiwanese dude named Lin Yu Chun do it right:
