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.

I saw a picture of Whitney Houston the other day. What a waste she's become. She is truly the poster child of how drugs ruin your life. A documentary of her life should be mandatory watching for junior high students.
Y'owch, that's gonna leave a mark.
Is "Houston" what you get when "Whitney Houston" gouges out her left name?
Perhaps he lost his eye in a really bad toothbrushing accident?
Yikes.
"I'll keep an eye out for him and let you know if I see him."
*ugh*
Makes you wonder how sick in the head someone has to be to do that to themself.
I find your jokes rele funny, but seriously, i saw a picture of this guy and read everything in the newspaper, if you saw it, you'd feel rele sorry for him- i mean it. the guy who was rich, on TV, on tour- tries to jump of a building then gouges his eye out- poor man.

"Do you take cream with your eye?"
"You'll shoot your eye out kid."
