Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
Last night the Grammy Awards went on as planned, but included a few moments dedicated to Whitney Houston. The singer was found dead in her hotel room on Saturday morning.
Several moments were dedicated to the ‘Bodyguard’ star and powerhouse vocalist. LL Cool J opened the show with a prayer for Whitney and kept it upbeat before introducing Bruno Mars.
There were several stories circulating after the news of Whitney Houston’s death broke. The most repeated rumor was that Whitney was found in the bathtub by a hotel staff member. She called 911, but it was too late.
It looks like that story might have some validity. TMZ has discovered that water was found in her lungs. The medical examiner noted the detail, but has not yet revealed whether or not drowning was the official cause of death. Cops believe that Houston fell asleep/slipped into an unconscious state while in the bathtub and drowned.
It’s a sad day for music fans as another legend was taken from us. On the eve of music’s biggest night, singing superstar Whitney Houston died today. In a world of celebrity death rumors, this one comes with a confirmation from Houston’s publicist Kristen Foster.
Amidst controversy, the coroner who oversaw the investigation into the death of Amy Winehouse has resigned. The coroner of Inner North London Coroner, Dr. Andrew Scott Reid, declared that Winehouse had died as a result of ‘misadventure’ – alcohol poisoning. In the process of dealing with the case, Reid appointed his wife Suzanne Greenaway to the role of Assistant Deputy Coroner. Turns our Dr. Reid’s wife does not meet the requirements to be a coroner… meaning that potentially each of the 30 inquests she has overseen could be declared illegal! Winehouse’s family and friends are seeking advice on the situation since the entire investigation could be reopened!
