Lendo essa matéria da Salon sobre o fundo do poço em que a Whitney Houston se encontra, me deparei com essa declaração de Janice Min, editora da Us Weekly, que explica tanto sobre o mundo do fofocol mundial:

"It’s a little tawdry for an Us audience, where celebrities have a nice shiny veneer on them. This is a little hardcore," said Min. "You turn to celebrities for escape and voyeurism. When their problems are worse than yours, then you don’t want to read about them."
