Weekend was really hectic for me. I was not able to go online that much so I relied on my sister for news on the net. She told me before going out yesterday that Whitney Houston was already dead. You know what? I wasn’t surprised anymore! It’s bound to happen anytime soon, I thought. She’s been abusing herself doing drugs and what-not. She’s been doing drugs for years and no matter what kind of intervention done to her, she just couldn’t stay away from drugs.

Dead at 48. Can you imagine the life she wasted? So many people in Twitter and Facebook and other social networking sites were posting updates on how much they were shocked over what happened. They were saddened. Do you know what my real reaction is? Not surprised anymore. Not shocked at all. And I wasn’t saddened over what happened but was actually angry over a life wasted. She was given so much blessings in life. A great voice. A beautiful face. Fame and fortune. A beautiful daughter. Sure, her marriage sucked! But hey, there were other fishes in the ocean and she could have divorced that worthless husband of hers and moved on. She didn’t. She opted to stay with him and embraced a life filled with drugs and booze and looked where it led her?

A friend of mine said that it was really her husband who was to blame over what happened to her. My reaction: whatever happens to us is the result of a choice we made. At the end of the day, Whitney Houston chose to do drugs at her hotel room and it killed her.

She could have been another music legend like Aretha Franklin. Tsk. Tsk.

Another life taken by prohibited drugs. Amy Winehouse, then her. Who’s next?

My guess? Lindsay Lohan!

You have the opportunity to talk 5 minutes worth of sense into a wayward celebrity. Who do you choose? What do you say?

I’d choose two celebrities. Lindsay Lohan and Amy Winehouse. Both ladies are talented and both are throwing their lives away!

I’d tell Lindsay to ditch Samantha Ronson and the dubious people around her. Ditch her mom as her manager because she is her enabler! Go and get a life coach. Spend a year in rehab! Go and be alone and just learn how to manage her life without the need to turn to drugs and alcohol at every sign of insecurity or uncertainty. She is talented and beautiful. She is young. She has a lot going for her. She doesn’t need to always be the center of attention because it only makes her feel the more insecure. She can concentrate on getting better and going back to acting.

I’d tell Amy to also ditch the people who are influencing her to do drugs and alcohol. Ditch the dirty hair and clean herself up! She has a voice that can inspire people. She is gifted with a voice that can change lives! She should also go to rehab and stay there for at least a year or until she can already handle her addiction. Her talent is wasted on self-destruction when there’s no need for her to turn to that. She is beautiful and all she needs to do is look into her soul to know it.

I don’t know why Lindsay Lohan is throwing away her youth. She’s got talent and beauty. Sure, she may be surrounded by bad people with intentions of using her but I would like to think that she has enough brains to still stand up for herself and distinguish right from wrong.

I think it’s the Hollywood culture of being a rebel is cool. I think that’s it. She came from a broken family and her mom is her enabler. She has enough reasons to become a rebel. But come on! I would like to believe that regardless of the circumstances in our lives, we are still left to choose the path we want to take. Good or bad? Right or wrong? It’s still up to each one of us! We are given a free will. I say use it wisely! In Lindsay’s case, I’d like to think that the choice was made for her.

What’s the point of this entry? The necklace. The one she stole. Someone should be able to notice that the girl is spiraling out of control! She craves attention and she feels she can only get it if she does something wrong. Her mother, or someone who still cares for her, should do something about her situation. NOW! Or she could end up a Hollywood culture casualty like so many others before her.

Such a waste of youth!

One of these days, maybe in a week’s time or even less, we might be seeing Britney Spears No. 2… Lindsay Lohan! The girl is a mess! You can read in almost all gossip columns how she parties so hard every night. Boozing it up once again when she was supposed to be staying away from alcoholic drinks. Smoking like a pipe and possibly doing drugs again. Tsk tsk tsk

I wonder why her mom, who should be stopping her, is even accompanying her to the clubs. Poor girl! Somebody should be doing something to stop her from thrashing her life even more. Even before the break up with Samantha Ronson, she’s already heading to the boondocks with her crazy antics. No work because of being diva (read: major attitude problem). Fighting in public with Samantha everywhere. Plus the booze and the smoke and the reportedly drug use…
