Whitney Houston is making her singing comeback after almost "throwing it all away" with her addiction to drugs. The ballad singer, 40, is sober after her stint in a rehab clinic in March following several years of non-stop partying with husband Bobby Brown, which saw police being called to their home following a series of domestic bust-ups.

Houston explains, "I've emerged from a long, long fog. I'm clean, I'm sober, I feel reborn and I'm loving life. I came so close to throwing it all away. Now I cherish every second of the day. I have rededicated my life to my family and my career and I am happier now than I can ever remember being. These past three years have been a very long period. I thank God we have emerged back into the light."

--Oh we're so glad, Whit.

3 What's the over/under on when Whitney falls off the bandwagon again? Fantastic talent, but a textbook example of people being unable to handle fame and money. I wish her the best though.

4 Yes, Uptown Girl. The reality show is all finished and set to air soon. I think the producers are just shopping it around looking for an outlet, but that shouldn't be an issue. My neighbor, Bobby's aunt, gives me the inside poop all the time. It's interesting how sometimes the media puts a spin on things.

5 So it was taped while she was still ON the wagon? That will make for better TV.
