Michael: Was the rumor, all those years ago, that Whitney was munching Jodie Foster's muff and got into a hair-pulling (the head kind) with Jodie's OTHER chick-on-the-sly Kelly McGillis? And then I heard a version where Whitney and Kristy McNichol were in passionate mid-lick when Jodie slugged one or both of them. Or was that the version where Kristy McNichol found Whitney in bed with Lea DeLaria, Rosie O'Donnell and Nancy Reagan?

Yes, Tallu, all those rumors were true. I mean all those truths were rumors. I mean...never mind!

I'll never forget seeing "Waiting to Exhale" with a very vocal audience and Whitney was in a scene with her screen Mom, who was urging her to find a man.
A woman in the audience yelled, "Whitney don't want no man! She's a bulldagger!"
The huge laugh that followed indicated that this wasn't exactly news even to ordinary moviegoers.

When Barbara Walters asked Whitney about a tabloid headline stating "WH spent $100,000 on drugs her answer was a heartfelt "I wish!", followed by "I want to see me some receipts."

I've often wondered, if Whit had been permitted to come out as a lesbian after her first album, if her life would have turned out more like Jodie Foster or Rosie O'Donnell: steady galpal, adopted kids, saving her dough instead of blowing it up her nose. What a sad way to "cover up" the truth -- by pretending to be someone else AND marrying that lazy ol' Bobby Brown. I can't wait for daughter Bobbi Brown to write HER tell-all book about Whitney: "Lezzie Dearest."

I'm digging the idea of "Lezzie Dearest." Whitney hitting Bobbi with a crack pipe instead of wire hangers. Whitney telling Bobbi, "Go hide Mommy's bag of stuff, Grandma's walkin' up the drive." Whitney telling the maid, "It's the dirt I'm mad at Cecile, it's YOU."

I always bought into the idea of him being trashy and dragging her down. When Bobby had his own reality show, I was struck by how much more I liked HIM than HER. The other day my local radio station played some New Edition and Bobby Brown solo songs back to back and they were great.

I don't believe it for the following reason: She was STUNNINGLY beautiful and could have had her pick of any number of really handsome, normal-seeming men to be her beard.
If Whitney was looking to portray herself as a "regular" heterosexual woman, why would she pick some mess like Bobby Brown? She would have picked somebody like Blair Underwood or Eric Benet or Brian McKnight, for example.
If I were looking for a beard wife, I would pick, say, Kelly Preston not Courtney Love.
The fact that she married Bobby makes me think she IS straight and just has really bad taste in men--like Pamela Anderson.
