Whitney Houston’s weight is “spiraling out of control”

In this week’s National Enquirer, they have one of the most unflattering photos of Whitney Houston in the middle of a concert on May 27, under the headline “Whitney Soars to 175 lbs”. The piece is remarkably similar to one the Enquirer ran about Mariah Carey several weeks ago, only with Mariah they were all “she gained weight because she’s happy” and with Whitney they’re like “she’s gained weight just because.” Unfortunately, we don’t have the exact photos the Enquirer is using, so these - from May 14 - will have to suffice. Does Whitney look bigger? Sure. Did I look at her and think “heifer”? No.

Whitney Houston’s weight is spiraling out of control! The troubled Grammy winner has packed on at least 20 pounds recently.

While experts believe some of the weight gain has been caused by steroid injections or prednisone treatments to treat a nagging respiratory infection, insiders say that Whitney’s been “pigging out” on room service and fast food during her “Nothing But Love” European tour.
“She ballooned to 175 pounds, and there’s no sign of slowing down,” added a source.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition]
I’d imagine that she’s also gaining weight because:
A) Who cares?
B) She’s not smoking crack anymore (while she reads the Bible), and needs something for her oral fixation.
C) She on tour, and she’s hungry after performing.
D) Because she’s not some young pop star with a crazy metabolism.
All in all, it could totally be worse. Maybe Whitney will become the new Aretha Franklin! Just a big, beautiful woman with an amazing voice, someone who gets so big, their fashion statements are all about boobs and hats. I would really love that Whitney. That Whitney has her voice back. I wonder if the actual Whitney will ever have her voice back?

It's better than her cracky skelator look.

It's hard to tell from these pics, since they're all shot from the waist up.

I agree, I thought she looked pretty good there, for Whitney...

What doesn't look good is her haircut. Oh, and her clothes.
Not her weight.

She's got the classic "moon" face from steroids. Steroid stimulate your hunger too so no wonder she's pigging out.

LOL at those silver pants. Damn she's looking more like Auntie Dion every day.

**nancydrew** · June 4th, 2010, 01:17 PM

She looks like Bobbie Brown in the face when shes chunked up.

**greysfang** · June 4th, 2010, 01:50 PM

Isn't she like 5'10" or so? 175 isn't hugely out of line for her height.

**bubblegumblades** · June 4th, 2010, 02:02 PM

I don't think she looks so big in the pic, the clothes aren't flattering and neither is the angle...but she looks healthy and softer, which is more flattering for her.

Traded crack for a Big Mac

**AliceInWonderland** · June 5th, 2010, 05:29 PM

why is she on steroids?

**ana-mish-ana** · June 7th, 2010, 03:25 PM

Its to help her vocal cords - but they are too cracked out due to her drug use.

Mariah was also rumoured to be taking steroids to help her tour - which is why she looked plump although it was also rumoured she was on IVF to try to get preggers.
