Houston 'a paranoid wreck hooked on crack'

SINGER Whitney Houston has been described as a half-toothless "paranoid wreck hopelessly hooked on crack", according to reports in the US.

The former international pop superstar is one of the biggest selling females in the history of music.

The claims have been made by sister-in-law Tina Brown, herself a former drug addict. She is the sister of Houston's bad-boy husband, R&B singer Bobby Brown.
