Whitney Houston's company is issuing thinly-veiled legal threats to www.dailysleaze.com for their cartoon-portrayal of Whitney as a drug addict.

FANS of Whitney Houston must have missed all those reports about her drug use and rehab - and pictures of her completely out of it in Atlanta with her dirty wig askew and wearing a fur coat in summer. The hordes at her company, Nippy Inc., are furious at dailysleaze.com for posting a cartoon of Houston battling it out with a crack rock and have sent the Web site a nasty e-mail, which reads: "There is no truth to the fact . . . that [Houston] has done any illegal substances as you suggest . . . It is not right that you are trying to tarnish the image of one of the most popular singers of all time. Please remove this immediately or else."

Is it just me or does that email from Nippy Inc. sound like it was written by an eight year old? What kind of company ends their emails with "or else?" I used to say that type of shit to kindergartners right before I stole their lunch money when I was in the sixth grade. Nippy, Inc. might as well have said that that dailysleaze is a big-dummy-head-jerkface with cooties.

This has been a bad week for Whitney Houston. NBC had to cancel her new reality show because of poor filming conditions. Apparently the lighting is pretty poor in Los Angeles alleys and gutters. ZING.
