Why is there a full blog entry for what is simply Miss Houston's B-day on the 9th of August?
Ain't she like a messed-up fallen big star? You'd say for sure.
Truth is, for the uninitiated, her achievements are so astounding and extensive that there are actually entire websites devoted to just what she's achieved thus far, let alone simply about her.

Her Personal life:
After years of troubled personal and public life with bad boy singer Bobby Brown, she's finally divorsed him on April 24th 2007.
