Whitney Back In Rehab

Whitney Houston's well-documented drugs problems have resurfaced yet again.  The singer has checked into a rehab clinic for the second time in a year.

She has previously admitted to using prescription pills, marijuana and cocaine.  Her publicist issued a short statement saying: "Whitney Houston has re-entered a facility for rehabilitation."

No other details were made available.

The 41-year-old Grammy-winning singer, famous for hits such as I Wanna Dance With Somebody and I Will Always Love You, checked into rehab for five days in March 2004.

Her spiritual adviser claimed she was battling addiction to prescription drugs.

Houston, who has had a fiery marriage with soul badboy Bobby Brown, has previously spoken about her drugs problems in an interview on US network ABC News.

"I make too much money to smoke crack. Let's get that straight. Crack is whack," she said.
