WHITNEY GOES INTO REHAB... AGAIN!

By DON GENTILE
Whitney Houston
has again
checked into a
drug treatment
center in a desperate
bid to
kick her tragic addiction to crack
cocaine, The ENQUIRER has learned.
Shockingly, her hubby Bobby
Brown was kept in the dark about
Whitney's whereabouts for several
days.
According to his sister Tina
Brown, Bobby returned to his home
in Alpharetta, Ga., on April 14, after
a performance tour and found
Whitney was missing.
"At first he thought she was just
off on another drug binge," Tina
told The ENQUIRER.
"It took a few days for him to find
out from Whitney's family that they
had talked her into going into rehab
— and a few more days to get an answer
about which treatment center
she was in. All Bobby told me is that
she is in treatment, in a secluded
place."
Bobby and Whitney's daughter,
13-year-old Bobbi Kristina, is being
cared for by Whitney's brother Gary
Houston and his wife Pat, who live
in the Alpharetta area, said Tina.
Whitney's spokesperson Nancy
Seltzer declined to comment when
asked if the troubled superstar had
entered a treatment center.
Her latest attempt to get herself
clean comes in the wake of The
ENQUIRER's exclusive series of
interviews with Tina, a recovering
drug addict who was Whitney's
drug buddy for many months.
Tina detailed how 42-year-old
Whitney has hit rock bottom,
spending days doing drugs locked
in her bathroom or hanging out in
dangerous crack dens near Atlanta.
Stunning photos that Tina provided
of Whitney's bathroom, following one drug binge, showed
how low she has sunk with crack.
Tina, a 42-year-old mom of six,
is praying that Whitney can finally
beat her addiction.
"I hope this time it works," she
said. "She can still come back and
be the star she was, the singer the
world adored. I pray to God she'll
get herself clean for good."
