Whitney Houston gives part two of her interview to Oprah Winfrey today, in the two-part series that sees the singer talk about her new album that has just been released, and also about her past. She reveals never-before-known secrets in her first full-lenght interview in seven years.

In part one, Whitney Houston spoke about how her mother saved her from drug addiciton by forcing her to go to rehab, even by getting police officers to escort Whitney to treatment. She also admitted to smoking crack cocaine, despite denying it for years.

Whitney's mother turned up with the court injunction for her daughter to go to rehab:

"She said, 'I'm not losing you to the world. I'm not losing you to Satan... I want my daughter back'," Houston recalled.

"She said 'either you do it my way or we'll go on TV and [say] you're gonna retire'."


Bobby Brown, the singer's then-husband was also present at the time and Whitney described him as 'her drug'.

"I didn't do anything without him. I wasn't getting high by myself - it was me and him together. We were partners."

Things have turned around now however, and Whitney has custody of their daughter Bobbi Kristina.

Whitney admitted to smoking crack cocaine and marijuana at the same time, but insists now that she is clean.

Whitney Houston will be back on Oprah again today, and then Oprah will air her 1993 interview with Michael Jackson on Wednesday September 16th.

Oprah Winfrey and Whitney Houston chatted like two BFFs about the singer's career, love life, beliefs about marriage and, of course, her drug use. Part 2 of the interview had a lot more to do with her breakup and divorce from Bobby Brown, her daughter, and her way to her new album, I Look to You.  The second part of the interview was essentially just an expanded edition of the first one.  That said the album was three years in the making, and unlike other albums that took a long time to make, fans like it.  (Chinese Democracy…) With the new records' success, Whitney Houston won't need payday loans no faxing for some time.
