Whitney Houston "Crack is Whack." The phrase Houston will never live down, uttered in response to Diane Sawyer's question regarding allegations of crack and cocaine abuse by her and husband Bobby Brown. While Whitney vehemently declared crack beneath her, she did admit to using other drugs. Houston re-entered rehab in March 2005, according to her publicist. Newspaper accounts indicate that it was an intervention, and not necessarily a voluntary admission to a program to combat Houston's drug addiction. Crack or Smack?" Once America's sweetheart, Whitney Houston is now more likely to be mocked on a late night television comedy skit, for her excessive lifestyle, her marriage to Bobby Brown, her drug use, and general fall from grace. But despite all of this, it can't be denied Houston continues to put out good quality music, and much like Madonna, has tweaked her musical style to keep up with ever changing public tastes. If Houston has any regrets about shedding her "goody two shoes" image of the 1980's, it's doubtful she will ever admit it. And while many hold husband Bobby Brown responsible for Whitney's downfall, she has always stood by her man and defended him. Children raised in a strict, church focused home often rebel, maybe Whitney's rebellion was just a bit delayed. Perhaps she'll straighten up and fly right, and perhaps she'll continue to give the media wacky sound bites, but bottom line, Whitney is in control of her future, or is she?   Farrah Fawcet Farrah played the character of Jill Munroe for only one full year (1976) in the hit TV series Charlie's Angels. That same year her swimsuit poster sold a still unrivaled 12 million copies. Fawcett achieved critical praise and her first of 3 Emmy nominations as a serious actress for her role as a battered wife in the 1984 television movie, The Burning Bed. She also won acclaim in the stage and movie version of Extremities. In this role, she played a rape victim who turns the tables on her attacker. At the age of 48, Farrah posed in Playboy for the December 1995 issue. The issue sold over four million copies worldwide. It was the best selling issue of the 90's. She then posed for the July 1997 issue. Again it was a top seller. In 1997, she received some negative "reviews" after giving a less-than-coherent interview on The Late Show with David Letterman. It was speculated that her rambling, incoherent manner was the result of drug abuse. The following morning, she explained on the Howard Stern Radio show that her rambling was in fact just her way of joking around with the television host. She also insisted that what looked like random looks across the theater was just her looking and reacting to the fans in the audience and that the whole thing was blown out of proportion. In 2006, she gained attention in the tabloid newspapers due to her haggard appearance, most likely due to excessive plastic surgery. In August of 2006, Farrah took part in the Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner, where she had difficulty telling her jokes. She appeared frazzled at times. One presenter asked Betty White to "explain the jokes to Farrah". Betty White claimed "Farrah, we have so much in common, I'm 80 and that's the last decade you mattered"!   Liza Minelli "Satan, your ass is gigantic and red. Who am I going to pretend you are, Liza Minelli?" With that immortal line, uttered by Saddam Hussein in the 1999 movie South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, Liza Minelli provided us with yet another example of why she is one of America's greatest pop icons. However, at that time no one could have guessed that within a few years this superstar chanteuse would become one of the world's greatest train wrecks. But who is Liza Minnelli, and why is she so famous? Born to screen legend Judy Garland and famous director Vincente Minnelli, Madame Minnelli achieved fame both on the stage as well as the big screen, winning an Oscar in 1972 for her film Cabaret. However, despite reaching the respectable age of 58, her current lifestyle resembles a Cabaret of the most sordid kind. Her current degeneration innocently began in 2002, when she married the vaguely homosexual diva David Gest in what was widely-mocked as Manhatten's glitziest freak show. Gossip over a possible reality show kept them in the spotlight for a while, and then the shit hit the fan, with a tsunami of stunning claims that she's actually a violent rapist. Not only did M'Hammed Soumayah, her 56 year-old chauffeur, recently sue her for beating and raping him, she has also been sued by her battered gay husband for physical abuse. Indeed, according to her former bodyguard, Imad Handi, a "seven-time karate champion," this sort of extreme Diva-ish behavior was the norm. Not only was he "belted... in the stomach" by her, her other underlings were also smacked around. Willie Green, another of her bodyguards, was bit "in the chest with teeth marks going through his skin," while Steve Benanav, her production manager, was savagely choked "in a drunken rage." But how much of a trainwreck is Liza Minelli? On the scale of ultimate trainwrecks she probably wouldn't come close to the granddaddy of all trainwrecks: Micheal Jackson. And I doubt her civil trial would be as riveting as that of OJ. However with her recent legal woes she's definitely out-trainwrecked the much-married Elizabeth Taylor.   Joan Rivers Apparently Joan Rivers completely wigged the fuck out when some guest during an interview stated "since black offends Joan" after Rivers had made a plea to keep race out of a particular discussion. None to pleased at what I guess she construed as a suggestion that she was a racist Rivers went in to full wig mode: "Wait! Just stop right now. Black does not offend me. How dare you? How dare you say that? 'Black offends me!' You know nothing about me. How dare you. Don't you dare call me a racist. I'm sorry. How dare you." (As a somewhat harassed Purves tried to calm the situation, Rivers said to Howe:) "Now please continue, but don't you dare call me that. Son of a bitch." First thing that struck me was utter amazement at the fact that her face didn't decompose from the yelling. I mean really, how much stress can the botoxed up, lifted, relifted and lifted some more take? Quite simply, miraculous. But on the serious side, although I really don't know much about the woman (other than the fact that she's about as soothing as rusty nails on a chalkboard), I could see where she would wig out since misguided accusations of racism are probably one of the easiest ways to get someone pissed enough to wanna shove a red hot poker directly up your ass. It's entirely unacceptable. Joan Rivers was born Joan Sandra Molinsky in Brooklyn, New York to Jewish parents Beatrice and Meyer C. Molinsky. She was raised in Westchester County, New York. After briefly attending Connecticut College, she graduated from Barnard College in 1954 with a B.A. in English and anthropology.
