With all due respect to Whitney Houston’s lungs, rumors that the pop diva is battling emphysema aren’t exactly the most unbelievable reports out there. Though, if true, they would be among the saddest.
The National Enquirer claimed this morning that the 47-year-old, whose past habits don’t exactly make her the poster child for healthy living, has been diagnosed with the early stages of the potentially deadly lung disease.
The tabloid even goes so far as to claim that doctors (apparently ones who weren’t paying attention the day they taught patient confidentiality in med school) told her to quit smoking, or, to put it bluntly, she’ll die.
