She's been the center of much controversy throughout the years, and although she made a minor comeback, it continues. Whitney Houston is now being criticized for recent concerts, mainly her two hour concert in Australia this past week, where she was said to have been struggling to catch her breath and coughing. One of her tour promoters, Andrew McManus, had immediately jumped to her defense, pointing out the obvious of how she's not as young as she was anymore. He also saw the show as not her best, but certainly not her worst, also stating that he was surprised of the fans disappointment because of the amount of effort she actually put into the gig.

Even at her show in Sydney, she was criticized, being said to have held it together for the first hour, but quickly falling apart after. Whitney and her reps claim that she is in great health, but concert goers and fans think otherwise. Her tour in Australia is planned to end in Perth on March 7th, and fans hope the singers performance can improve at least during these last few shows. Weird, though, how she can be visibly screwing up in front of concert attendees, but there are no statements on her having health problems. It could just be from years of prolonged drug abuse, but who knows? The only clear thing is she that she needs to clean up her act at least to the point of where her fans won't notice as much as they do now. Whitney herself is having fun on this current tour but that is no indication that people are actually enjoying it, so unless there's some sort of health reason or something of that sort, they can't really defend the quality of her recent shows. Whatever the reason for the bad performances, she now knows that she needs to improve.

Fans recently walked out of a Whitney Houston concert in Australia and it is appropriate this took place in The Land Down Under. Her career has been going under for quite some time, and this is great symbolism.

Apparently the first set of the show in Sydney was fine but after she took a 13 minute break and started the second set things began to fall apart. Her voice began to crack and she was unable to hit the right notes. Her show ran much like the arc of her career: a solid early career loved by many, a hiatus of a few years (the whole Bobby Brown issue) and an attempt to return to singing resulting in large number of fans fleeing from the singer.

Just a few days prior to the Sydney incident, a similar thing happened in Brisbane. There have been reports that the show was littered with coughs, and she needed to take breaks to catch her breath.

Promoters have said that the problems in Whitney’s shows are a result of poor health. If that’s the case maybe we should be praising Whitney for her commitment to her fans? But Whitney should be smart enough to not alienate her fans at the same time. Houston, your career has crash landed! Well if you keep this up it has…

One of Scott Storch's biggest losses was his Miami Mansion located in the exclusive Palm Island area of the city. He originally bought it for $10.5 million and last year lost it to foreclosure. Rockstar Energy Drink CEO, Russ Weiner, who bought the mansion recently for a reported $6.75 million. What a steal.

Additionally it was reported that he tried to desperately sell his $20,000,000 boat for less that $1,000,000 on eBay.

Oh no, 50 cent says he can't buy diamonds as he used to because he is losing money due to the recession. He says he has to return/sell old ones to get new ones. Aww, how sad. He claims he lost over $6,000,000 due to the recession, but somehow he still managed to run up a bar tab of $123,000 recently. Keep it up!

Seriously not a good week for Brandy after being dropped by her management (ROC NATION) and record label (EPIC) due to poor sales on her last album which sold 198,000 units. She is still denying it, but her publicist states: “Roc Nation no longer reps Brandy.”

You know who else sold around 198,000 units on her last album? UH OH....
