The singer suffered from cardiac disease and could have had a heart attack before drowning, officials say. Cocaine is listed as a contributing factor in the death.

i guess she was just doing coke every day, a little weed and alcohol to take the edge off.. jesus. she must have been living like this for years. sort of amazing she lasted as long as she did if so.

idk i think that many years of addiction what constitutes friends gets twisted through a particular refractory index. everything gets modulated by addiction. everything gets swept into that particular economy. we all saw it in this case, how marriage and drugs were sortof a package deal. this always extends into everything. this is why its sad but i guess i'm glad for her sake it isn't crack that showed up on the toxicology report. crack is cheap. crack is wack.

holy crap was the bet awards tribute discussed elsewhere on ilm? i don't feel like i can finish watching it, but cissy houston sings, or wails, really, a version of "bridge over troubled water" where she changes the lyrics to past tense, viz. "your time had come to shine / all your dreams have gone away." i couldn't finish watching her performance tbh. before that, monica did an amazing version of "i love the lord."

there that new movie 'sparkle' which i see ads for on youtube all the time now, and the trailer has a line from whitney's character saying something like "don't live the life i did!" or something akin to that.

Has anyone else watched WHITNEY, the 2018 doc? I watched it last night and it dragged me through the wringer all over again. Usually I don't like talking head interviews in documentaries but these were very direct and it was illuminating to hear from her closest friends and family (except Robyn)
I want to look up this performance because it sounds extremely emotional and that is how I feel after watching this movie. RIP Nippy & Chrissy.

No surprise. It was produced and written by a guy who's done some of the hackiest biopics ever, and Clive was also a producer. Kasi Lemmons is a great director though - if this helps her finance her own projects, so be it.

Wow, Kasi Lemmons in the director!? I don't think I've seen anything of hers since "The Caveman's Valentine."

Saw the trailer for this while taking my kid to see Matilda on Friday (which is superb). This movie looks like dreck - cheap, tacky, melodramatic and appallingly overacted.
