Report: Whitney Houston Checks Into Rehab

Published: Monday 9th May 2011 by Sam

According to fresh reports, Whitney Houston has checked herself into a rehabilitation clinic.

Full story after the jump…

Via TMZ:

Whitney Houston has checked herself in to an out-patient rehabilitation program … but it’s not for drugs or alcohol … TMZ has learned.

A source directly connected with Whitney tells us … Houston enrolled in the program around 10 days ago. The program allows Houston to go out in public … as long as she has a monitor.

Just last weekend, Houston was enjoying herself at a Prince concert in L.A. … with her daughter right by her side.

Our source is not saying why Houston is seeking treatment … but insists it’s not drug or alcohol related.

We’re told, “She’s cleansing herself to get ready for a new movie.”

You already know media outlets are cooking up ways to spin this. In any case, for Whitney’s sake, let’s hope this is indeed “cleansing for a movie role”.

Update:

The singer’ rep has confirmed her voluntary treatment is in fact for drugs and alcohol related issues and functions as part of her long-standing recovery.

    She getting ready for that Waiting to Exhale 2 movie. Very smart WHIT WHIT.

  5. Obi Texas May 9, 2011

    It’s for the sequel to Waiting To Exhale. It’s called Getting To happy. She most likely wants to be more than ready for the movie.

    Good luck to Whitney!

  6. LARRY May 9, 2011

    LIES LIES LIES, I personally think she had a relapse…

  7. Marcel May 9, 2011

    I heard that they’re making a sequel to Waiting to Exhale with the original cast so maybe it is a for a movie role

  8. THAILANDCRUZ May 9, 2011

    YOU GOT PROOF THAT IT’S A LIE?

  9. Rich May 9, 2011

    Awww Whitney ;-/

  11. WHITEJESUS May 9, 2011

    good for her.

  12. Ariana May 9, 2011

    I wish her well.
    There have been so many rumors lately that you don’t know what to believe; even her own daughter has been thrown into the spotlight for allegedly doing drugs as well.

    I hope it’s just BS for her own sake.

  13. Kayla May 9, 2011

    Well, that’s understanable. I can’t wait to see Waiting to Exhale 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. Rich May 9, 2011

    she’s fine .
    I hope she just gets a vocal coach lol

  15. I WANNA SEE THE RECEIPTS May 9, 2011

    Again? She better take Bobbi Kristina with her.

  16. mobwife…..”no, she ain’t you!!” May 9, 2011

    This sounds like complete bullsh**! LEAVE WHITNEY ALONE! I hate TMZ and don’t believe anything that they say. Unless ppl are coming up with evidence that she is on drugs they need to shutt up and LEAVE WHITNEY ALONE!

    What are they implying that she is pulling a Charlie Sheen and “rehabing at the house”? That she is really on drugs? Could it be a case similar to Mrs. Michael Douglas, ol’ crazy Cathren Zeta Jones? Perhaps she just needs to learn how to relax on stage again and just enjoy the experience. Has anyone ever thought of that?? The last few times I’ve seen Whitney she appeared to be very tense. Maybe she just needs help getting her confidence back!

    WHITNEY HOUSTON = LEGEND……………..HATERS DEAL WITH IT!!!

  17. GAGA FOREVER May 9, 2011

    THIS S*** IS SAD I HOPE SHE GETS ALL THE HELP SHE NEEDS GOOD LUCK MAMA

  18. JohnVidal May 9, 2011

    @mobwife…..”no, she ain’t you!!”
    You f****** preach!
    LEAVE Whitney ALONE!!!

  19. Ld23 May 9, 2011

    Its actually like a fat farm. She’s going in to help lose the weight that she gained. Its like a biggest loser type of deal, where she will be monitored and fed. And she will have a constant trainer. So it is for the movie and has nothing to do with drugs

  20. Salem May 9, 2011

    Whitney is about to star in several films and record a to 3 albums within the next 3 years; it is only right that she keep herself healthy and nurtured. The fact that she has surrounded herself with the right people, tells me she is on the right track.

    I believe this rehabilitation is a stint to keep herself clean, AND/OR get her voice in shape for her role in GTH, and also to get her vocals ready for its soundtrack and the performances to come.

  21. I see May 9, 2011

    lol……..

  22. I Lee May 9, 2011

    whitney got a drug problem???…wth..Walmart Giving Back After Laying Off Over 50,000 People.. $1,000 Giftcards – I Grab 2 of Them..LOL http://goo.gl/g4zvo

  23. Imgunnacheckuboo May 9, 2011

    Whether or not it actually is preventative, I’m just glad she’s gettin help. Being 20 or 30 something and having messy habits is one thing but past 40 it’s just sad.

  24. oneday May 9, 2011

    Good luck Whitney. Anytime someone is smart enough to ask for positive help, it should be commended. God bless you aunty Whit!

  25. Topman May 9, 2011

    I thought I was the only one thinking she looked cracked out in recent photos. All that pouting and sloppyness. Hope her treatment’s successful

  26. Chile Please!! May 9, 2011

    It’s a dam shame how Bobby turned her ass out on drugs & alchohol……It’s strange because from seeing Bobby in recent pics it looks like he’s getting his self together while Nippy is still sucking that Brown Rolled Up Laced D*** & drinking the Devil p***! She need to really get it together or else her roll in the new Waiting to Exhale sequel is going to be a hot mess.

  27. weegee May 9, 2011

  34. True Blue May 9, 2011

    I hope she can recover from this setback.

  35. jusnot4m33 May 9, 2011

    Oh addictions

  36. Truth_Serum May 9, 2011

    I knew it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her moving to caii last month was for drug rehab. I was right. Her last rehab stint was for drugs & alcohol back in 06′-’07 in Leguna Beach, California as well. Hope she gets through this. No wonder her vocals was hoarse and raspy at the Prince concert. Several peeps said she was wasted and she certainly looked it. SMH, shame.

  37. Chile Please!! May 9, 2011

    @ Dunk

    True she said she had experimented with drugs in the past (no specific name of drug)…but still the whole point is that Bobby did turn her out on Drugs. If this was back in the day & she had the same habit today back then she wouldn’t even be famous…..so don’t go blaming her past for what it is today. Bobby got her strung out point blank…..so stop your Ras Clad!

  38. KaVion May 9, 2011

    My baby.. 🙁

    It’s for the best though..

  39. TheVoice May 9, 2011

  40. lala May 9, 2011

    Once a crackhead ALWAYS a crackhead

  41. JR May 9, 2011

    I am so glad! I love Whitney always have and always will. I am not a dumb fan & in denial. I know that the recovery process can be difficult. I am praying for her. One thing for sure there will NEVER be another singer like her. Someone who influenced many of today’s stars and who set the bar! Yea she may not sing like she use to, but no one will ever be on the level that she was. Songs with depth and meaning, excellent lyric phrasing & stay in the hearts of the people. Not this popcorn s*** they make today! We will always love you Whitney 😉

  42. royalkev May 10, 2011

    Whitney get better! I’m so disappointed, but I hope it’s nothing serious.

    I hope she recovers and also quits smoking for good
    She has the most beautiful voice and the best singing
    though I know she’ll never be belting out G5’s again, I hope the rehab helps her with her vocals too, I love her and wish her well.

  44. Cheers (Drink to That) May 10, 2011

    Good luck to Whitney… I hope she gets better with whatever she’s dealing with.

    I hope to see her on the big screen & to hear some more albums from her!

  45. princebarbietv May 10, 2011

    whatever it is i hope she gets better

  46. LOL May 10, 2011

    Too Hell with this “crack is whack” b****. Whitney Houston has squander to much for anyone to continue to support her s***.

    Wendy Williams had that ass pegged when she was faking it on Oprah.

    What a information of un-ambiguity and preserveness of valuable familiarity regarding unexpected emotions.
