Whitney Houston's Parental Nightmare: Daughter is caught doing drugs!

It is quite funny when you become a parent because all the proclamations you yelled at your parents on how you would never do that to your kid creep into your life. Like when you tell your parents your kids will not have a bedtime. How quickly you eat those words. How about when you say your kid will never have to make their bed? It creeps up slowly but soon an unmade bed become one of the ugliest sights you lay your eyes on.

Somethings your parents did to you, you promise you will never do to your child. My mother would drag me into bars every now and then when I was in my teens. This wasn't a late night thing where she was partying down and I became the designated driver but it was something I hated. While her friends and her gossiped over cocktails and a band raged in my ear, I swore I would never be that mom. When she looks back on what she did, she apologizes. A friend of mine says her parents would smoke around her as a kid. She vowed she would never do that to her child and never picked up the habit. As parents we all make mistakes but some more detrimental than others.

Whitney Houston is probably smacking herself right now as pictures of her only child, Bobbi Kristina, have surfaced showing her snorting a white powder substance. While Whitney Houston has supposedly been clean and sober since she checked herself into rehab in 2009, her child was raised around a world of drugs. As many remember, Houston and her ex-husband, singer Bobby Brown, had a tumultuous relationship that included multiple run-ins with the law to include drug use and abuse.

We can only hope Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina's father will step in and save their daughter before it is too late. Good Luck!

Taylor Momsen Smoking At 16, Could've Guessed That!

I could have predicted this months ago when I questioned what Taylor Momsen was wearing to her sweet sixteenth birthday. Dressed like a woman ready to take to a pole, where was her mother? Someone should have helped her find her shirt and her skirt!

As the idiom "Where there's smoke, usually there's fire" states, if something seems off ---it probably is.

Now caught smoking a cigarette underage, Taylor Momsen, actress in the poplar CW series, Gossip Girl, bats another smug grin into the lens of a camera.

Recently she responded on her feelings about being a role model to younger children, "To be honest, I don't f-ng care. I didn't get into this to be a role model. So I'm sorry if I'm influencing your kids in a way that you don't like, but I can't be held responsible for their actions. I don't care." [info]

If you think sixteen years old girls should be sweet and innocent, Taylor Momsen never asked for your opinion. She announced on her risque dress, "I like wearing garters. Apparently people think that's a big deal, but my tights won't stay up."

One to take notice to blogs in cyberworld, she laughs at the words many mothers express on her dressing habits. "My favorite blogs are where you get the mothers saying "She's the worst influence on my daughter, I would never let my daughter dress like that..."[Celebitchy.com]

Taylor Momsen is on her way to the top or all the way at the bottom. There really is no way around it. Children brought up in the lifestyle of making movies and playing life instead of learning about movies and life, wind up living a drunk, incoherent existence until one day, and we hope they all do, hit rock bottom and find their way back up.

Momsen has spoken about her mother, "I mean, I'm sixteen and I can't get away with anything. My mother finds out everything." You get away with wearing see through pink nighties to your sixteenth birthday and smoking cigarettes?

It makes me question your mother's parenting style.

Mackenzie Phillips Wacked Out Childhood Meant Sharing Drugs and Having Sex With Her Father

During the 60's, free love and drugs were the norm more than the exception. As a member of the band The Mamas and the Papas, John Phillips seemed to think engaging in a incestuous relationship with his daughter, Mackenzie, and getting her high on pills and cocaine was an alright thing to do.

Mackenzie Phillips, one time "One Day at a Time" star, drops a bombshell in her new book High on Arrival, that on the eve of her wedding to Jeff Sessler, a member of the Rolling Stones entourage, her father arrived at her footsteps determined to stop it.

"I had tons of pills, and Dad had tons of everything too. Eventually I passed out on Dad's bed. My father was not a man with boundaries. He was full of love, and he was sick with drugs. I woke up that night from a blackout to find myself having sex with my own father." [via USA Today]

She is a guest today on the Oprah show. She will speak about her cocaine abuse. It was her father who shot her up the first time.

"He put the needle in my arm and pushed the plunger in and he missed."

"Missed the vein?" Winfrey asks.

"Missed the vein," Mackenzie replied, "and my whole arm went numb, because it was cocaine."

Would You Take Love Advice From Anne Heche?

Although the marriage has been over for more than two years, the divorce settled six months ago, and a new baby born to the mother from a different father, Anne Heche seems bitter about her last husband. Last night on the Dave Letterman show, Heche describes her feelings about her ex-husband and sperm donor, Coley Laffoon, "He goes out to the mailbox and he opens up the little mailbox door and goes, 'Oh! I got a check from Anne! Oh! I got a check from Anne! Yay!'"

Heche and Laffoon who have a 7-year-old son, Homer, have been fighting over their relationship since he filed for divorce in February 2007 after five years of marriage. She said he was a deadbeat who watches porn and hits strip clubs while he called her mentally unbalanced. Last June, they reached a settlement, with her agreeing to pay him a $275,000 lump sum and $3,700 per month in child support for their son.

While collecting this child support, Laffoon wishes Heche would come and watch him coach for a soccer team. She believes this is what a "lazy a#*" would do. Maybe he is trying to become more of a part of his son's life?

She also told Dave Letterman she would not be getting married again. "Don't get married. Forever engaged is a wonderful romantic thing to do."

Reality TV: Helping kill off another family

It seems that Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member, Danielle Staub, may have more explaining to do with her children about her past than she previously wanted to.

On Tuesday, The Smoking Gun website published a 26 page federal document that detailed her sordid past.

When arrested in a plot that involved kidnapping a man's son for $25,000 in a cocaine deal gone bad, she went by the name of Beverly Ann Merrill. She also had an alias she went by known as Angela Minelli. Working this plot along with Daniel Aguilar, whom she met while working for an escort service, "threatened injury or death" to the son whom they had kidnapped, "was blamed by Merrill and Aguilar for the botched drug deal, which cost them a kilo of cocaine worth about $24,000," according to the papers.

When they were arrested, "agents discovered six kilos of cocaine and about $16,000 in cash."

Staub "was charged with eight felonies, including extortion, cocaine possession and narcotics conspiracy."

My mother was married before she married my father. I was never told about this but being the snoopy child I was, I sniffed out the truth. It has been said that curiosity killed the cat but I have always been able to tell when something seems a little "off." Ask my husband.

Should Danielle Staub not have thought more intently about her involvement joinging a show were the media could seek out her past and exploit her and her family?

Should all who decide to join a reality show be more cautious in their decisions to do this?

Shouting Profanity At Children: What to do as a bystander?

This past weekend, I was with the family at Water Country USA. While walking towards the wave pool, I noticed this cute girl with her two boys. Situated inside the 10x10 shelter designated for smoking she sat with her double stroller puffing away. While watching, one of her two boys decided to make a break for it and ran towards the pool. The girl had been chatting it up with a couple seated on the bench next to her. Before she darted after her son, she asked the woman to hold onto her cigarette. She then took off towards her son.

"Get back here you little s---!" She called.

A moment later she returns with the small boy, guiding him with his ear and gleefully smiling towards the couple she had been talking to. "Oh, he'll learn now."

The couple laughs and while she slams the boy into the seat beside her back in the smoking gazebo he starts crying. "Shut up." She tells the boy.

What type of society are we living in when we shout profanities to our children and force our children to sit with us when smoking a cigarette. Look we all have habits that many of us are not proud to admit but shouting profanity at our children and blowing smoke into their faces when they want to play? I really am speechless.

What should we say? Should we say anything?
