The Celebrity "Don't Go There" List

Everybody has one. Everybody's mama has one. This is the (usually) musical artist that you coudn't talk when their record was on when you were younger, lest you get popped. As well as the artist you cannot say anything bad about, again lest you get popped.

For my mama, it is Whitney Houston.
To her, Whitney is still the "One Moment In Time" Whitney, not the "Hell to the naw Bobb-ay!" Whitney. Whitney's never used drugs, she's "always sweat like that/been hyper like that/been skinny like that." Period. I almost stomped a friend of mine's foot into a pulp when she blabbed the rumor that was out several years ago about Whitney being gay. I thought we would have to give my aunt and mama oxygen on the spot "Wha'....what? I mean is this something she just started..."

Just to show you I'm not immune to this line of thinking....here is my official "don't go there list" Jone-ing on any of those listed below will get you put out and deleted. ;-)
