LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Following a suicide attempt, R&B singer Houston has gouged out his eye while on an overseas performance junket.

A brief statement was released Wednesday by his Capitol Records label, saying only, "Our thoughts and prayers are with Houston during this tragic time."
According to sources, the singer first attempted to jump out of a London hotel window last Thursday. Prevented from doing so by his security staff, Houston was locked in his room, at which time the injury occurred. No additional details as to his current condition or whereabouts have been disclosed.
Featured in a McDonald's commercial, Houston's 2004 hit single "I Like That" peaked at No. 11 on the Hot 100 singles chart. The song also featured Chingy, Nate Dogg and I-20.
Houston's debut album, "It's Already Written," has sold 208,000 units to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan, having peaked at No. 14 on The Billboard 200.

Sad story, really. This guy was abused as a pupil, and was so brow-beaten that he eventually had to lash out.
:)
I still refuse to root for the Falcons, even if they do have Michael Vick as their QB.
I'm glad they lost!
Yeah, you Atlanta FReepers heard me.
I DON'T LIKE THE FALCONS!
Haven't liked 'em since Reeves was there.
Just damn.

Aaack! My eyes! My eyes!
Pics of Teddy are a number one reason to gouge and scratch my eyes out, with Hillary! a very close second. Watch, someone's gonna post the butt-shaking shot of her.
Sir, you get my nomination for post of the day! Vitreous humor!!!! Love it!!!
You asked for it. Threw down the gauntlet!
Have some more drugs, Houston.
I thing his dew rag needs to be a little lower on one side now.
thing = think. (Eye guess Eye wasn't thinking!)
I bawled in deep tears when I read speedy's myopic post.
..............but then I was never into vitreous humor.
< crickets >
In a recent press release fellow recording artists Eminem, Snoop Dogg, and 50-Cent had this to say about rapper Houston:
LOS ANGELES
"...Check it out, Houston has this this incredible vision as a musician, yo. Peace, we outta' here..."
The musicians then climbed into an armored Chevrolet Suburban and announced they were going to visit their peeps in the hood to keep it real.

Glad someone got it! :-)
No one else even batted an eyelash.
I'm sorry... eye meant "eye guess he'll never see his dreams of stardom come true"
"You asked for it. Threw down the gauntlet!"
That I did! I still have one eye left! X *
