The Daily Star has reported that famous songstress, Whitney Houston has been signed up to appear on Channel 4′s Celebrity Big Brother this January.

She is said to have agreed in a bid to relaunch her singing career and improve her public image.

‘We’re aiming high for the new series,’ a source tells the newspaper. ‘We want top-notch stars no Z-listers. We’ll be back with a bang in 2009.’

So do you believe it? I don’t!

Why, because this exact same rumour reared it’s head back in 2007, when the tabloids were convinced that a troubled Ms Houston would be joining Shilpa Shetty and Jermaine Jackson in the house. It didn’t happen then and I’d be surprised if it came off this year. Surely she can’t need the money that badly?
