Whitney Houstons 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.

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?
