Legendary diva Whitney Houston was dogged by critics during the Asian and Australian legs of her world tour. Now in Europe, the singer is facing a new problem -- Houston has canceled a Tuesday night performance in Paris due to illness. A statement received by the Associated Press says an upper respiratory infection has forced Houston to postpone the first show of the European tour on doctors' orders.The statement says, "[Houston] deeply regrets having been forced to postpone the show." Her tour will continue in Manchester, England, later this week, but Houston would love to return to the City of Light before the end of the concert series.

Why can't the news reporters let this affair about Tigger alone. He is not the only one in this world that has cheated. It has nothing to do with his golf. I'm willing to bet that the ones that's talking the most is cheating on his or her spouse as they talk. Give the man a break. He has Children, think of them. Althrough he was wrong, his kids (I'm sure) will hurt more than anyone else in this. His Kids might be young but one day they will grow up and how do you think they will feel when they read the papers. Put yourself in their place. How would you feel?
I'm praying for Tigger and his family instead of talking about him. So to the reporters, please try to fine something that will help the people of the world to report and leave people personal life to their family.

You are absolutely right. Leave the man alone, he has suffered enough with losing endorsements, women appearing on television exposing their sexual encounters with him and repeated reports on his wife and children. We all must keep Tiger in our prayers as well as his wife.
Whitney Houston has more courage than most people could even imagine. She is probably hopping the infection puts her in her grave. That way she might get a breake from the media and a million other people. Let the woman grow old,and hope as a person we can prosper as well as she has done.

The name of the album was I Look To You. How do you expect us to take anything you say seriously if you don't even know the name of her most recent release? And the woman is a human being. Stars get sick too!

Uh, read again, oh wondrous one.
"The tour is in support of Houston's first album in seven years. 'I Look To You' was released in 2009, featuring collaborations with Alicia Keys and R Kelly."
Why do you say they didn't know the name of the album?
I remember the good old days when a legendary diva was REALLY a diva and a legend: Marian Anderson, Leontyne Price, La Baker, Billie, Lena, Ella, etc. They earned their legendary status by their unique talents and through years of hard work. Now everybody is a diva and if you've been to rehab a couple of times or your husband/gigolo beats you up in public you became instantly "legendary." Oh well, I must be getting old... Viva la diva Lady Gaga! Might as well...

Can we say AMEN? AMEN Mark!!
Mark, Whitney Houston is a Diva because of her talent/gift and historical recording success. The women being called Divas today are for the most part, not Divas. Christina Aguilera is a Diva because she is talented, gifted. There are so many barely good singers that are a maketing gimic and young kids below 15 are creating so call divas who are young and not talented.
Oh you bunch of racist hypocrites....you really want him out of golf so that someone you think should be #1 can take that coveted place. I pray to God that Tiger excels beyond his already amazing score and that he and his family are even closer than before. I have never been a golf fan but even I know that this is ridiculous. Leave him alone. He is not a political or religious leader and does not deserve this type of scrutiny bordering on castration.

Will, you should know CRACK HEAD. You are so insensitive to put someone down who is trying to improve their live. Maybe you should concentrate on being a better human being instead of a jealous loser. I apologize, maybe you are working on trying to be more humane, but I would hate to see what you were like before you started trying.
Maybe the sales weren't all that good! It would make me sick too!!!

Is this post about Tiger or Whitney Houston. I love golf, don't like Tiger, sure I will watch. As far as Houston goes, she's washed up...

Whitney, You've made it this far, only to hit a pothole. Maybe when you Publicly apologize to Dolly Parton for Publicly snubbing her after she wrote, first recorded (to #1 Country Music) "I Will Always Love You", then released it to you for a remake...the one that cemented your "Stardom". Maybe when you do that,part of the guilt that's eating you alive will subside. Then you can go on to all the other lives you wrecked while stoned & fix them too.

What are you talking about, no one snubbed Dolly Parton. This is not slavery time. No one needs to apologize for more success than the original songwriter/singer because one is black and the other is white. Dolly had a great song and sung it well herself and it was a hit. Whitney's version was just more appealing to more people. I saw Dolly on TV and she was not mad about Whitney's success, because she got a check and was going to the bank everytime a record sold or was song. Stop trying to tell lies to make Whidney look bad.
I beg to differ. Whitney's "stardom" was cemented the moment her first single You Give Good Love hit the airwaves. From then on her beautiful voice continued to produce hit after wonderful hit. Heck she was even so good that her rendition of the National Anthem she sang at the Olympic games even sold millions.
Maybe you should check out the facts before you start opening your mouth, sales have been great. Sarcasim without facts equals stupidity.
