That’s One Hell of a Check For a Former Rock Addict

Posted by Bossip Staff

whitney1

Whitney Houston is to be paid $2.78 million USD to perform for an hour at a charity event in London. That’s some major comeback swag:

The troubled star has been lined up by billionaire philanthropist John Caudwell to give a rare one-hour performance at the Cauldwell Children Legends Ball at London’s Battersea Evolution arena on May 8. Mr. Caudwell thinks it is important to raise the profile of the Cauldwell Children charity and stars such as Whitney Houston are the sort of people he’s hoping to attract. Whitney, who has battled an addiction to drink and drugs – has made few public appearances in recent years and also has a reputation for failing to turn up for shows.

Her ass better show up for this one. If so, she needs to put Bobby up on getting his stacks up.

  1. da darkness

    sexy sexy first\

  2. khia213

    Can she spend some of it on a new boob job? Damn, that looks bad!


  3. She is a charitarian for the herpes people on a Herpes community site: === http://www.stdpal.com ===. There are many people who were endowed by her regard her as a angel. And creat a blog for her to show their blessing.

  4. lisalisa

    What’s wrong with her breast?

  5. da darkness

    big haa ha haa haa haaaa. all that bread you can’t get a nutritionist. a major fall off from her movie role playing days. she needs to leave the yayo alone. Missy needs to be her counselor. She’s like the only level head in the industry, word

  6. SBM is "Your Families Dirty Laundry"

    lol her breast look like mol*****es slowly oozing out of the jar

  7. Randall Cunningham

    I remember when I used to ***** Whitney down back in the day, her *****ies looked a hell of a lot better than that.


  8. @SBM…there you go with that foolishness boy! LOL

    The ***** are horrible. But she better go get that change. 2.78 mill for one hour? That’s some Prince change right there!

  9. jojo

    yep those flapjacks need some work stat.

  10. mojojo195

    @jojo

    you are retarted LOL

  11. mojojojo195

    her breast look like they deflated on the sides

  12. Lu-Lou

    That’s what’s up, I’m happy for Whit! I believe the children are our future…

    But she really need to get a lift on those breast, or at least cover that sag up!

  13. Cs

    The ***** do look horrible, but at least give her some credit for cleaning herself up and trying to make a comeback. Baby steps people…

  14. Cage

    I hope she doesn’t trick it all off buyin dope in New Jersey yet again… Whitney got a few of my peoples paid so I hope a relapse isnt nearby… Just in case I’ll keep the ears open & holla @ SBM for the weight lol

  15. SBM is "Your Families Dirty Laundry"

    lol her chest look like that famous picture of “Ghandi”


  16. oohhhh weeeeh, them breasteses… damn whitney damn!


  17. Why would a charity pay 2M for a celeb appearance? Sounds like a charity that doesn’t need money to me.


  18. Here ***** look bad in that dress, but it’s nothing a wonder bra won’t fix. I like that she has not gone under the knife.


  19. Go Whitney! That’s a whole lotta money….

    …I’ve gotta say, I absolutely hate those *****.

    Go Whitney, rarara! Lol.

  20. Up2NoGood

    Wow, 2.78 million for a hour of your time. “Must be nice”.

  21. Ibn

    Bad boob job but she looks good thats my girl

  22. Grace

    Whitney is still on that other level that today’s dance artist will never achieve. Some of these singers will go on a 30 city tour with 5 others and will not get paid for what Whitney received for 1 hour. Whitney can go on stage with a crack pipe in one hand, a drink in the other and still sound better than Ciara, C*****ie and Rhianna all put together.

  23. JaliliMaster

    Bird

    Why would a charity pay 2M for a celeb appearance? Sounds like a charity that doesn’t need money to me.

    —————–

    If that person is Whitney Houston. Anyway, I think it came from the billionaire dudes pocket. Although, he might have just donated it to the charity instead.

  24. Shavon Denise

    Good look for my idol. She WILL show up for $2mil trust. And please stop saying comeback… Ashanti is making a comeback,Lauryn Hill(although she’s in my top 5) needs to make a comeback.. But Whitney, naw legends dont have to make comebacks because she hasnt had a hit in how long and she still is known by her first name alone. They only comeback she needed to make is a personal one, it aint have ***** to do with music because she’s still one of the best vocalist dead or alive.

  25. Luving "The Wire" Forever..HOV

    Good for her!


  26. hopefully she dont smoke all that money up

    ——-

    hot new music at my*****e.com/keifk


  27. you are right about that legends dont need a comeback.. but im so glad whitney is getting her self together thats 2million is alot.. and i hope she dont go under the knife because then she will be another lil kim.. leave your breast how they are and get a nice push up…LMAO …

  28. Reese Daves

    Good she could use it

    *****************************************

    Check for that LANDALOH.com (lan-duh-lo) developers keep droppin the name, they said 2nd QT

  29. GET IT TOGETHER

    Her “cleavage” looks nasty. These celebs need to keep their ***** covered if they look like this. YUK. I admire her for recovering from drug addition but keep it cl*****y Whitney and cover those saggy *****, and too-wide cleavage!

  30. WOW

    Why is it that the mistakes a black woman make are always thrown right back up in her face by black men but a white woman can he a W***** and he’s ready to wife her? Jeez she had a drug problem that she is clearly working to keep supressed. Give her a break. The little white w*****s that you love so much have done much worse.

  31. TeeTee

    the good thing about her is that she is so much drama, diva and talented that she can merely stand up there and … SING .. no jumping up and down, showing off her body, sweating, no selling anything beyond her voice .. natural talent always outlives all others [beyonce, i hope you're listening]

  32. liladge

    i hope her voice is up to par. the last couple of times she sang she sound like she had a crack pipe down her throat. and what the hell is wrong with her *****ies?

  33. T-Real (Ain't he some gorgeous eye candy?)

    I hope this is a new beginning for her. She has a fabulous voice that is unique. There are very few artist that has that voice no one can mimic and Whitney is one of them. I really hope she does well from this point on.

  34. soulwoman

    Good for Whitney. I’m looking forward to her new album. It’s time to start promoting in the states.

  35. Kali's Finest

    she should have made them pay her in EURO’S. $1.51 to every american dollar!!!! get a new agent.

  36. Alexander O'Neal

    and what the hell is wrong with her *****ies?

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Exactly what happens to ALL female crackhead *****ays.She probably tried to save em once she got ‘clean’…

    anyhoo – God Bless u Whit…


  37. Ok..her *****ies is a little lopsided, but I mean..she has been smoking crack! Give her a break! Crack does a body..ummm NOT GOOD! Have you notice the neighborhood crackheads.(IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE U LIVE AT) they body is the first thing to go..then their teeth, LOOKS..etc! It is *****ed up!Crack is a hellva drug..next to Cocaine, heroin, etc!

  38. NIKKI UNDERWOOD

    I hate everyone that made me scroll up to check on those flat tires…

    I mean every comment I scrolled up to see if it was real talk…and it was. LOL


  39. Whitney deserves more respect than being called ‘a former rock addict’. She’s Whitney.


  40. Despite her obvious trials in her marriage and her well-known drug problems, Whitney is and will always be, one of the most talented female artists ever to be recognized in this country. She sang the national anthem at Super Bowl 25 in 1991 and though I am not especially patriotic, listening to her literally gave me goose bumps…it was the only time I’ve ever wept during anyone’s performance of that song. She is the only artist ever in history whose recording of the song was released as a single, reaching the top twenty on the U.S. Hot 100, and ultimately, turned the anthem into a chart hit!

    I’ve hoped and prayed for her peace and happiness over the years and I’m looking forward to seeing and hearing her again in the near future….keep your head up, and much love, Whitney!

  41. NotoriousOne

    @ Luving “The Wire”…what’s good sexy?

    I’m definitely glad for Whitney. She fell on some real hard times but I’ve always had a soft spot for her. And she does have talent so kudos on her comeback. Now just keep that momentum rollin’

  42. kai

    Damn whitney! 2 mill? Thats proof that you should never settle for less and always demand your worth..

    Great example

  43. liladge

    i can see crack messing up your body but they are implants. i didnt know crack affected silicone like that. oh well. get a new pair.


  44. I LOVE WHITNEY, BUT HER ***** LOOK AWFUL!

  45. Tasha Mack

    When you’re up people will have something to say as well as when you’re down. Go head Whitney. She looks great & I hope she still has that unique voice of her. She deserves to be healthy & happy in whatever she does. I can’t wait to get the new album and will always pray for her. Keep the haters talking Whitney!!!

  46. STFU

    Okay, WTF is going on with her chest! They look like they caving in on her, lol.

  47. T-Real (Ain't he some gorgeous eye candy?)

  53. I'm Just Me

    @ SBM…They do look like mol*****es. You are a fool for that one!!!

    I hope she does something productive with this money and stays away from Cage’s people!

    She has a child to take care of that needs to stay away from Pee Pee on Me Bobby!!!

  54. ralph lauren

    she used to be a prom queen now she just a prom fien!!!!!!!!!!!!<new jack city lol im send her a get well card real talk

  55. rozza

    @Ms. Sugar Walls – I agree! She was in a dark place for a while, and now she is coming back.

    The cleaveage does look a little ashy and burnt, though. She might want to think about getting a stylist – somebody who knows how to work with a true diva.

  56. mjoylaw

    go WHITNAAY! Love ya girl..can’t wait to see and hear the new you (new ***** n all once u stack a lil mo paper)


  57. CRACKHEAD CAN SING HER ***** OFF!!!!!!WHITNEY JUST STAY AWAY FROM DRUGS…CRACK IS CHEAP…WHITNEY I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU…WITH NO FRONTS!!!!


  58. I don’t give a damn about her *****… I just can’t wait for her to get back on the scene, with those golden pipes in her throat.

    COME SHOW THEM HOW TO SING WHITNEY!!


  59. Bossip where is the Rihanna post?

  60. Wenzel Dashington

    Whit is putting Amy Wino on speed dial for the trip.


  61. Bob-baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!


  62. “She demands that someone stand by and refill her champagne gl***** whenever it gets below one inch, that the water is Fiji only and that the place provide fans that blow on her in case it gets hot.”

    ____________________________________________________

    OK. So what’s the issue?


  63. My bad. Wrong post! Lol!!!

    **going back to the Kimmora post**

  64. Dame Decency

    They know what’s sup.. thats why they’re not paying her in pounds!

  65. Lili

    Dame Decency

    They know what’s sup.. thats why they’re not paying her in pounds!

    ^^^^^^^EXAAAAAAAAAAACTLY! I was wondering why she was being paid in USD…they’re saving every penny possible lmao

    On a serious note, I hope she does well. We need here to…be normal again.

  66. anc*****d

    i blame bobby christina it was her that made those tires flat


  67. Whitney is still on drugs- she has everyone fooled. Whitney cannot carry a tune like the previous days just like Michael Jackson can no longer dance and carry a tune like before. She will bow out. Or maybe not because lord knows she will need the money for that *****ty daughter of hers

  68. memchee

    someone got her access to a helluva network. Concertgoers wouldn’t even pay that much to see whitney today.

    She’s making steps, but where’s the proof she’ll perform up to the worth.


  69. Why would a charity pay 2M for a celeb appearance? Sounds like a charity that doesn’t need money to me.

    _____________________________________________________

    That’s a damn good question! Oh, well! I’d rather they pay Whitney for TruVocals (pun intended) than to pay some random chic that can’t sing!

  70. Kevvy Kev!!!!!!!

    GOOD FOR WHITNEY!!!

    SHE WAS DOWN FOR A LONG TIME.

    WOULD LOVE TO SEE HER STAND UP AND MAKE A WONDERFUL RETURN!!!

    EVERYBODY LIKES A GOOD COMEBACK.

  71. K-ten

  72. PIMP DADDY

  73. She is getting her game back. she got some mad hustling to do

  74. Elleleone

    Damn near 3 million to hear the black pre-Amy Winehouse FOR 60 MINS.? That’s what’s up! Hopefully, she doesn’t still believe Bobby is still the King of R&B. That would be disastrous.

    my*****e.com/candytoi

  75. B

    GO WHITNEY GET THAT GUOP, SHE’S THE ONLY PERSON I KNOW THAT CAN FALL OFF LIKE THAT, BE IN HIGH DEMAND, AND EARN MONEY LIKE THAT FROM ONE GIG. SHE GOT TALENT! I GUESS BRITAIN IS SAYING IF WE CAN EXCUSE AMY WINEHOUSE WHY NOT EXCUSE A MAJOR TALENT LIKE WHITNEY, AND ANYWAYS I GUESS PEOPLE ARE DEMANDING WHITNEY AGAIN AFTER SHE SUPPOSEDLY LOST BOBBY BROWN.

  76. bronxgirl
