WHAT'S UP WITH WHITNEY?

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Whitney Houston's career is a strange stage if her most recent performance is any indication. "E! Online" gossip reporter Ted Casablancas reports that when Whitney recently performed at the Arista 25th Anniversary Gala, she did more sweating than singing. Whitney showed up late, sweated up a storm, spoke lyrics instead of singing them and avoided any difficult notes whatsoever. The strangest moment came when Whitney stopped at the climax of her hit "I Will Always Love You" to ask hubby Bobby Brown for a glass of water. Brown then mopped down Whitney with a rag before she hoarsely finished the song. NBC has taped the performance for broadcast at a later time, but Casablancas predicts the unusual parts will be removed.
