Whitney Houston Ignores Critics
Mar 4, 2010 Concert, Whitney Houston
After critics and concert goers have complained that Whitney Houston’s tour in Australia is an absolute disaster, the singer’s publicist released a statement saying “Whitney is in great health and having a terrific time on her tour and with her fans. Her fans were dancing and singing along with her and Whitney appreciates their support.” However, fans have been voicing their opinion on the internet and it sounds like they disagree saying “She barely finished any of her songs and talked more than she sang while trying to catch a breath, as well as stopping in the middle of her songs to get a towel, reapply makeup” and “If her voice is shot, and she knows it, how dare she get up on stage and pretend it’s not.”

Fight Breaks Out at Akon Gig
While performing a concert in Melbourne, Australia earlier this week, Akon decided to leap into the crowd to stop a brawl that had broken out between rival gangs. The singer’s promoter talked about his heroic act, saying “One of the things people should take note on is an artist didn’t have too much concern for his own safety to go down and try and make things better. The thing that I saw, and I was standing right next to him … He walked to a girl (involved in a fight) and walked to her and held her face and said, ‘You’re better than that’.” 9 people were taken to the hospital following the fight and 6 have reported being assaulted.
Idol Stalker Sent to Jail
Jun 2, 2009 American Idol, MySpace, Singers
A 23-year old woman from Australia was just sentenced to two years in prison for cyber-stalking American Idol alum Diana DeGarmo. Tanya Maree Quattrocch has pleaded guilty to hacking into the singer’s MySpace account as well as intercepting emails from her friends and family. Why someone would decide to stalk a has-been, I don’t really know. What makes this even worse, or maybe more pathetic depending on how you look at it, is that this woman is a repeat offender. She has already served time for doing the exact same thing in 2006. Old habits die hard. Stupid ones should just stop though.
