Facebook Gets Coach Caned For Using The N-word In Address Whitney Houston


A suburban Chicago man has been suspended for one year from his post as president of a local youth baseball club after he posted on Facebook that he was "so sick of reading about this dumb stupid N***** Whitney Houston."

John Kelly, of Oak Lawn, Ill., was suspended from his leadership role with Westside Baseball of Oak Lawn on Monday during a board meeting. He has also been asked to complete a sensitivity training course and has been banned from coaching for the next year, though he will continue to serve on the group's board.

As Patch reported, the issue came to light after the mother of a former league player, who is black, saw the Facebook post, which has since been deleted, and alerted other community parents and children to it by reposting it on the group's Facebook page.

Sister-in-Law was Whitney Crack Buddy.



As her career spiraled out of control, WHITNEY HOUSTON spent days locked in her bedroom amid piles of garbage smok­ing crack.


When she got high, she imagined the devil was beat­ing her, but she was actually punching herself black and blue with her own fists.

And her beautiful singing voice, ravaged by drugs, was gone.

In an ENQUIRER world exclusive, Tina Brown, the sister of Whitney’s ex-hus­band Bobby Brown, opened the window wide into the nightmarish drug-addled life of the fallen diva, who is now in God’s arms.

“I did crack with Whitney,” said Tina, a recovering ad­dict herself.

Man Feels Son Was Disrespect In Honoring Whitney Houston.


A western Michigan man whose son was killed while serving in the military has burned a replica of New Jersey's flag to protest that state's decision to lower it in honor of performer Whitney Houston.

John Burri set the flag on fire Saturday on a grill outside his home in Wyoming, near Grand Rapids.

The 60-year-old Burri says lowering flags should be done for men and women who have given their lives in service to the United States.

Whitney's Daughter Following In Her Foot Steps.

Just hours after watching an emotionally charged tribute to her doting mother, Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown decided she needed some time alone. So while friends and family convened at a local eatery in Newark, N.J., to remember the 48-year-old musical legend, Bobbi Kristina simply disappeared.


As Houston’s body was set to be transported to the Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, N.J., for burial Sunday morning, her family was in full panic mode trying to the find the 18-year-old, who suffered at least two emotional breakdowns last week after the sudden death of her mother Feb. 11, according to two sources who spoke to The Daily Beast and are in close communication with Bobbi Kristina’s family.

“Everyone was freaking out and calling Bobbi Kristina’s cell,” said one source, a longtime family friend. “It was so much commotion and activity after the funeral that Bobbi Kristina just slipped away. Ms. Cissy [Houston, Whitney’s mother] was beside herself.”

Bobby Brown Not Responsible For Whitney's Death. He Missing Her Too!


Whitney Houston's ex-husband, Bobby Brown, has briefly appeared at her funeral before leaving.

Brown arrived as the service began. He walked to the casket, touched it and walked to the back of the New Jersey church Saturday.

Brown says in a statement that he and his children were seated but asked repeatedly to move. Brown says he left because he didn't want to create he a scene.

As he left, Brown appeared upset.

Houston died Feb. 11. A cause of death hasn't been determined.

Houston and Brown were married 15 years and have one daughter together. In 2003, police responding to a domestic violence call about Brown found Houston with a cut lip and bruised cheek. Their tumultuous relationship ended in 2007.

Whitney Houston Health Was Her Own Making.


WHITNEY HOUSTON flunked a routine medical exam two weeks before she died in a tepid bathtub, say sources.


The desperate diva had sought a facelift to be performed by a Beverly Hills, Calif., plastic surgeon, RadarOnline.com reported.

But Dr. Marc Mani, a board certified plastic surgeon, refused to perform the procedure on Houston after she didn't pass the medical clearance exam that tests a patient's heart, lung and liver, according to a source.
"She was concerned about her appearance and wanted a facelift," the source said.

Dr. Mani refused to confirm to whether Houston, 48, who was found dead at the Beverly Hilton on Feb. 11, had attended his clinic, citing federal medical privacy laws.

Dr. Mani said he doesn’t “overindulge” celebrities by allowing elective surgeries to go ahead if they did not pass medical clearance.

“As a plastic surgeon who treats a lot of celebrities you have to be very strict about medical clearance,” Dr. Mani stated.

“Medical clearance includes a very thorough battery of tests including heart tests, lung tests, liver tests and other laboratory tests.

Whitney Houston Die Broke, Drugs Took It All.


Though she sold more than 200 million albums - including The Bodyguard soundtrack which she earned $33million from - and singles during her career and commanded $10million per movie, Whitney Houston was said to have been on the verge of bankruptcy when she died.


A messy divorce with Bobby Brown, addictions to alcohol and drugs are all said to have whittled away her multimillion dollar fortune over the years.


Forbes writer Zack O'Malley Greenburg told E! News: 'There were certainly rumors that Whitney Houston died broke and she didn't have any significant financial impact in the last couple years of her life
'It's been a while since she has put out an album and been on tour, so one could see why towards the end of her life she would be running a bit low on cash.'


A music insider claimed that the singer was flat broke and had been living off advances from her record label for 'quite some time'.


Property records show she had approximately $2.85 million worth of real estate in her name in the form of two homes in New Jersey. Daughter Bobbi Kristina has listed her address as an Atlanta townhouse that was purchased in 2007 for $509,875.


She sold a house in Florida for $1.35 million back in 2005.


Sony Music are now expected to release some of Houston's greatest hits but her estate may not receive a large payout from this, as her biggest hit I Will Always Love You was written by Dolly Parton - who is poised to cash in all over again.

Whitney Houston Lived Like A Junkie In Hotel Room.


According to RadarOnline, preliminary autopsy results confirmed that sedatives were found in the singer's system including Xanax, lorazepam, and valium - which are all benzodiazepines.


Friends have spoken out to say the singer's premature death was 'not a great surprise' due to her 'downward spiral' which was helped along by others.
'As sad as this sounds, it's not a great surprise and yet, it's unbelievable,' a music source told People magazine.


'There are demons she fought privately and publicly for many years... She's been on a downward spiral for a long time and when you have those people around you that enable the behaviour ... she couldn't shake those demons.'


According to one source the singer spent her last days in a drug-fuelled trance. 'She was like a zombie', the source said.

Is Whitney Houston Back Smoking Crack Or Is She Sprung.


It looks like Whitney Houston and Ray-J are sparking that old flame again.
The two were spotted leaving a romantic dinner at the Sunset Plaza and heading to Ray-J's Rolls Royce to escape the paps.

Whitney and Ray-J have been rumored to be on and off dating for quite some time now and it looks like this is one rumor that could be on the money.

The reality TV star even made sure his date was sitting comfortably in his whip securing her seat for her. What a gentleman! Whitney went even further and returned the favor by unlocking his car door from his side.

We're not sure what exactly is going on with this two but something tells us it's definitely more than a friendship!

Check out Whitney and Ray-J leaving their dinner in the gallery above, and take note of that bling on Whitney’s ring finger! The plot thickens.
