According to Guinness World Records she is the most awarded female act of all time.

But having had a career that was once full of success at every turn Whitney Houston appears to be battling her demons once more.

The 48-year-old was spotted looking worse for wear last night in Hollywood, California after enjoying a party with friends.

Troubled: Whitney Houston looked worse for wear as she left Tru Hollywood nightclub last night

 

The superstar singer had been a guest at the Kelly Price & Friends Unplugged: For The Love Of R&B Grammy Party at Tru Hollywood and had even performed during the night.

 

 

Dressed all in black, the How Will I Know singer appeared angry and agitated as she left the venue and looked like she had partied a little hard.

Wearing a short black dress the star emerged with her hair messed up and gestured aggressively to the waiting photographers.

Whitney had what is believed to be blood dripping down her leg and scratches on her wrist and she had to be escorted from the club to her car by a few people.

Her entourage guided her into the back of a large vehicle as the singer signed some autographs before being driven off.

The Bodyguard actress started off the night well and was cheered when she performed a duet with Kelly Price.

Waving away: The superstar singer was surrounded by her fans as she left the club and she acknowledged them

 

According to recent reports the highly decorated Houston has squandered her fortune and is on the brink of bankruptcy as well as facing mortgage foreclosure.

The Morris County Sheriff's Office recently authorized the mortgage foreclosure sale of her 10-acre New Jersey mansion for over $1million in overdue mortgage payments and taxes.

According to the Daily Record of Parsippany, the $6million estate may be seized and sold as part of proceedings.

However, Whitney's publicist has claimed that the star's home is not in any danger of mortgage foreclosure and she is up to date with all payments.

Houston, who has overcome crack cocaine addiction, has allegedly spent all of her fortune, including a reported $100million record deal.

She is being financially supported by her record label Arista, which has given her an advance payment on her next album, according to reports.

The end of a long night: Whitney looked worse for wear as she sat in the backseat of the car

 

‘Whitney's fortune is gone. Music industry heavy hitters are supporting her and her label is fronting her cash against her next album, but no one knows when that will be released’ a source told Radaronline.com.

‘She might be homeless if not for people saving her. She is broke as a joke.’

Whitney - whose ex-husband is Bobby Brown - is believed to be in such a dire financial position she has even had to resort to contacting friends for small loans.

The source added: ‘She called someone to ask for $100. It is so sad. She should have Mariah Carey money, and she's flat broke.’

A spokesperson for the singer strongly denied the claims when contacted by MailOnline and said: 'That is ridiculous and not true! She stars in SPARKLE out in August which she also Exec produced. She just wrapped the film.'

In August 2001, Whitney signed the biggest record deal in music history at the time with Arista/BMG, renewing her contract with the label for $100million to deliver six new albums.

She released her last LP I Look to You in August 2009.

I always thought she'd make a comeback. Guess not....

 

 

TMZ.com

 

Whitney Houston was taking Xanax ... evidence she may have fallen asleep in the bathtub where she died ... TMZ has learned.

 

Family members of Whitney tell us the singer had a prescription for the drug, which is commonly used to treat anxiety and depression.

 

We told you yesterday ... the night before Whitney died, she had been drinking a lot. Xanax mixed with alcohol can cause severe sedation, which could cause someone to fall asleep in a bathtub.

 

As TMZ first reported, Whitney was found in the bathtub and removed before EMTs arrived. The L.A. County Coroner will perform an autopsy -- possibly today -- to determine if Whitney died from drowning, and OD or other causes.

 

As we previously reported, Beverly Hills cops obtained a search warrant and found various prescription bottles -- but, as far as we know, no illicit drugs.

Doesn't seem to matter these days, does it? HUGE "prescription" drug problem going on now.....

 

When my husband told me last night that she had died, I had *just* finished looking at the photos taken at the Grammy party. So so sad.

I wouldn't be surprised if she had been using coke or smoking crack at the Kelly Price party. There were reports that she was really agitated and erratic. Maybe she was still using coke but needed the Xanax to come down for the Clive Davis party. I think she was supposed to perform.

 

So sad

How the music industry works part 25

 

Before she was introduced to Clive Davis,

CBS Records were interested in signing

a 17 year-old Whitney Houston.

 

She performed for two of their most

senior execs. They declined to sign her.

The exact verdict?

 

"Pretty girl. Can't sing."

While it is somewhat better now, I know this still happens. It makes me sad to see the damage caused by not allowing people to be themselves. Who knows that the trajectory of their relationship might have been, but imagine if that relationship being true to itself might have led to a time when Whitney and Bobby didn’t happen the way it did. That was a toxic relationship if ever there was one.

Trying to “protect” people has caused so much pain.
