Default Whitney Houston died?

Is this for real or one of those stupid "oops, we posted a living person's obituary" thing?

Oh geez. I'm really sorry to hear this. I loved Whitney for years. I know she'd had a tough past decade or so. My gosh...

So sad. She was so young - only 48. Terrible news, really. I think I read that she had just performed at a club somewhere last night.

RIP Whitney. Thoughts going out to her family and friends. She was a superstar.

Is this a hoax? There have been lots of hoax about celebrity deaths lately.

I feel so sad for Whitney's loved ones, and her fans. She was a superstar and beloved by many. Her death at such a young age is so tragic.

So very sad. A tragic loss on so many levels. Voice of an angel and such talent. Sigh...

Ugh, what an utter sh*tshow... Whitney's body is still in the hotel- the same hotel where they are still holding a Grammy-related party thrown by Clive Davis. I mean, how utterly morbid and tasteless is that? Show some f***ing respect!!
