A few years back there were rumors that she’d died from a crack overdose, even though she’s publicly said that “crack is wack”.

But after ditching the zero (ex-hubby Bobby Brown) and going to rehab, she looks great (the pic is from a couple of days ago when she was eating with Clive Davis at Nobu), and more importantly, it seems that Whitney is ready to drop another album.

And I, for one, can’t wait.

Whitney provided the soundtrack to much of my youth.

I hope her comeback is more Mariah (the Emancipation of Mimi) than Britney (Gimme, Gimme).

I hope that talent wins out.
