You’re probably referring to the interview she did with Wendy Williams on WBLS in New York. She sounded completely insane and defensive. If I get a moment, I’ll try to hunt down a link of some kind. ---

Oh, Whitney Houston. Did anyone see the interview she did a few weeks ago with, who was it, Diane Sawyer? It wasn’t a train wreck or anything, but I thought she came across there as very fake and more than a little “off.” ---

The two items at the bottom of the linked page describe it. It reads like Wendy \ Williams was on WH’s case hoping she’d blow (so to speak) & she did. [http://www.v-103.com/Pages/v\_musicnews.htm](http://www.v-103.com/Pages/v_musicnews.htm) ---

For what it’s worth: A friend of mine played keyboards on a couple of Whiney tours years ago. He told me that she was a total coke freak and an absolute bitch. In fact, he said she was the most repellant person he ever met in the music biz.
