IUC Lifestyle: Can Whitney kick the White Powder and Come Back?

How many lives does a craggy old cat get? After a close look at the
lifestyle of Whitney Houston, the answer is: three hundred and nine. Yet, I
suppose if there was ever a moment for a reformed Whitney, the time is nigh.
Old Whit was trailed at LAX last week on her way to Washington sporting an
Obama beanie, nestled in massive fur, looking a tad grumpy, and saying
hell-to-the-no to the pesky paparazzi. So it has come to be that after what
seems like hundreds of years of mucky limelight living, old Whit is poised
for a comeback. Riding on the coattails of Obama¹s Inauguration, Houston is
scheduled to perform at pal Clive Davis¹ pre-Grammy party followed by a
spring release of her new album. The question is: Is the world ready to give
Whit one more moment in time? Will the old gal rustle up Britney-esk
sympathy for her hard-knock days gone by? Will she find the greatest love of
all? Or will she simply spiral back into Love-esk oblivion? The obvious
answer: who cares. However, in the spirit of new beginnings, and even though
pretending to be a coked-up Whit performing an aggressive rendition of
“Don¹t You Wanna Dance” has personally served as an instant pick-me-up for
many years, I¹ll have my fingers crossed for the gal. All together now: yes
she can.
