I know I post this risking sounds like arsehole, but I honestly thought she had passed to the Void already.

Her career had.. from reports the last few months, her voice was wrecked by the years of drug abuse and weight changes... she was a long way from the innocent looking girl with the angelic voice she was in the 80s.

The cause of death hadn't been released yet when I saw reports last night... and I hate to speculate on what it was.

I too saw a report last night. They claimed that there were no drugs or alcohol in the room she was in.

However, I'm willing to bet that the years of abuse that she put on her body took a toll.

News helicopters all over LAX.. Whitney's body is being transported here now to be flown back to New Jersey via Tyler Perry's private jet. Crazy.

I saw an interesting image the other day. A line of 5 or 6 flag draped coffins, seemingly just in from the middle east and on their way to the deceased soldiers hometowns, with a caption, "Whitney who?"
