About this ebook

Whitney Houston is a show-business phenomenon and one of Hollywood's most sought-after black actresses. Here is the first-ever behind-the-scenes book about Whitney.

Good Girl, Bad Girl is written by Kevin Ammons, who spent a great deal of time with Whitney since his girlfriend, Regina Brown, was Whitney's publicist. During his four-year affair with Brown, Ammons saw Whitney at her bitchiest, and he found that beneath her glamorous image lies a troubled woman who let success go to her head.

The book travels behind closed doors to reveal - Why Whitney really married Bobby Brown - Why her close childhood friend, Robyn Crawford, threatened suicide - Why Kevin Costner, Oprah Winfrey, and Madonna are on her hate list - Why Whitney refuses to heed doctor's warnings that she will ruin her voice - The truth behind her affairs with Eddie Murphy and Robert De Niro.

Like Whitney Houston's life and career, this remarkable inside story sizzles.

La jo i felt the same way her brother Michael set it in the latest documentary as well and I'm like what sister and what person was they looking at I mean Michael is being dumb his father was a light skin person that is light skinned his sister was caramel she wasn't a darker shade of caramel are dark-skinned but she wasn't light skinned either she was in the middle and then his mother Cissy Houston is caramel as well he's caramel the only dark skin person out of the immediate family is Dionne Warwick Gary e t e I didn't understand what they were talking about they're so dumb it's like they don't know the difference between light skin and dark skin and they were bullying her because she was a skinny girl she was very pretty that's what I think I don't think it had anything to do with skanks home okay they're being done with that pushing colorism making people feel like every dark skin girl believe lighter skin people Whitney never said that I don't know why these older people steady try to push out colorist rhetoric and it's always black men doing it you know and it gives other people that ammunition to come out and join the bandwagon when do you still want some beautiful brown skin woman

I want my money back Even though this "book" is cheap, it isn't worth the free WiFi it's transmitted over. The blatant exaggerations and kindergarten inaccuracies: Bobby Brown's "Don't Be Cruel" was an Elvis song, eh? Check the lyrics, Ammons. But what can you expect from just another "wanna ride the WhitneyHouston-MichaelJackson-money-making-bandwagon"? I just wish I'd known the "author" was a dense, low-life spouse-parent. He certainly wasn't a husband or father. His account is riddled with such repetitive and salacious comments that not only is his inability to write apparent, but so is his complete lack of credibility and character as a human being. Now...about my refund.

He lost me when he described Whitney as being light skinned even lighter than white kids in school. Hunh? She was clearly caramel (brown) complexion. Some of his facts don't line up with thise of people who knew her a lot longer and better than he did.
