She\u2019s about to make her big screen comeback in the remake of Sparkle with popstar Jordin Sparks but Whitney Houston is reportedly \u2018broke\u2019. The 48-year-old singer – who has overcome crack cocaine addiction – has allegedly spent all of her fortune, including a reported $100million record deal. <\/p>\n
Whitney is being financially supported by her record label Arista, which has given her an advance payment on her next album, according to reports. \u2018She might be homeless if not for people saving her. She is broke as a joke.\u2019 Whitney – whose ex-husband is Bobby Brown – is believed to be in such a dire financial position she has even had to resort to contacting friends for small loans.<\/p>\n
The source added: \u2018She called someone to ask for $100. It is so sad. She should have Mariah Carey money, and she\u2019s flat broke.\u2019 A spokesperson for the singer strongly denied the claims when contacted by MailOnline and said: \u2018That is ridiculous and not true! She stars in SPARKLE out in August which she also Exec produced. She just wrapped the film.\u2019<\/p>\n
In August 2001, Whitney signed the biggest record deal in music history at the time with Arista\/BMG, renewing her contract with the label for $100million to deliver six new albums.<\/p>\n
She released her last LP I Look to You in August 2009. In August, her first film since 1996\u2019s The Preacher\u2019s Wife will hit cinemas in the US and Houston plays, Emma, the mother of Sparks\u2019 character, Sparkle.<\/p>\n
In a new shot from the flick, the pair can be seen all glammed up for the new version of the blockbuster about how a girl group experiences turmoil after one of their members turns to drugs and another achieves their desired fame alone. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
