Whitney Houston Makes A Comeback

Cocaine's a helluva drug.

Do me a favor and pretend you're Whitney Houston for a moment. Imagine you're one of the most successful performers of all time, that you own arguably the most powerful voice ever to grace the Earth and that you once were cradled by Kevin Costner. Life is good.

Now do 20 years of coke.

Yep, the world pretty much gave up on Whitney Houston. She almost disappeared completely. But then, when she finalized her divorce to Bobby Brown and gave up drugs for good, things started to turn around. Now the word on the street is that Whitney is going to make her comeback at this year's pre-Grammy party.

Barring any unexpected "happenings," she'll be performing, along with Jennifer Hudson, for the first time in years. Let's all just hope she can get back on her feet, and lungs, in time to regain some of that old magic. Lord knows the streets haven't been safe since we lost our Queen of the Night.
