was whitney's fame too much to bear? >> fame itself is an addictive drug and fame creates an image you cannot live up to. >> our spiritual guru, deepak chopra, was hollywood to blame? this is piers morgan tonight. good evening. whr whitney houston's family preparing to say private good-bye's at the new hope baptist church and gospel singer and parsons wymans has been asked to give a eulogy and plan to have a jumbotron outside so people can watch. i talk to those dloes the superstar diva. and crisis in the middle east, is iran behind it? i asked a top member of the israeli government? >> they would like to take control of the persian empire

and the oil fields in the middle east and to have a nuclear bomb. >> we begin with our big story, latest on whitney houston's tragic death. i want to start by bringing you cnn's don lemon covering the store in los angeles where whitney died saturday night. you've been with us from the start, endless twists and turns. i understand you spoke to the coroner today. what did he tell you? >> i did, piers. i want to be very specific what the coroner said because he warned everyone about the rumors out there. lots of rumors. one i want to point out. he said he's getting calls from all over the world. the dea is now joining this investigation with the coroner because prescription drug meds are killing celebrities in los angeles. he said that is simply not true. that is out there. and another thing, the whole thing about mickey fine, the pharmacist with the michael

jackson case. i asked him about that. he said, listen don, we're looking into that, still investigating. we're trying to find medical records, i think is interesting and trying to find out who her doctor is so they can get more information. he didn't deny it but he said he didn't want to address it in that manner. he wanted to say they're still investigating. another thing, we talked about the six to eight weeks timeline for the toxicology report. i talked to the coroner, i said, i know you guys know sooner, maybe a couple days, again, i'm looking down at my notes and don't want to get it wrong or fuel rumors. sometimes we get prelims on preliminary spikes and might get a spike in a drug or prescription medication, he first series they run is for amphetamines and depressants. they want to make sure what they're getting is not aed mid or over the counter medication. if they get a spike, they check

and recheck to make sure if it's in the person's body doesn't necessarily mean there was enough of it in her body to kill her, so they go back and check it against everything, her body weight and everything else, pier piers. >> don, finally, lots of reports about bobby brown, whether he's seen his daughter, bobbi kristina yet and whether he will be invited to the funeral, some reports says the family doesn't want him there. what do you know about that? >> what i know is bobby released a statement from his representatives saying my daughter did visit with doctors at cedars-sinai medical center in los angeles on sunday. obviously, the death of her mother is affecting her. she's with her family and we ask for her privacy at this time. that's the statement i read in part and you see the full statement on the screen. there are reports he hasn't seen her. cnn is calling his representative now find out exactly what's going on. one other thing, i know you are huge on social media and twitter and facebook.

if you go on your social media, you will see fans are upset and want something very public, like michael jackson and the staples center and in a way feel robbed not to be able to give tribute to whitney houston. >> thank you. we'll address some of those subjects now with one of whitney houston's old friends, diane warrick. she was at the pre-grammy party at the beverly hills hotel. she joins me now. i could hear you reacting to some of the things don was saying there. what were you reacting to? >> fans being robbed. it's up to her family to do what they're going to do. that was strange there. >> do you feel there is any duty if you have a star of the magnitude of whitney houston to give the fans something? >> she gave the fans something, her amazing music and voice and

records that will be there forever, best performances of all time. she's given everything. she's done giving. >> when did you hear the news of whitney's death? >> i heard it saturday. i didn't think it was true, the twitter pronounce someone dead, last week, it was cher and jon bon jovi. i got the call from a friend and said whitney died. no, it's probably a twit ter st bit bitty -- stu piddity. >> you wrote some of her greatest ever songs. >> i wrote some good ones. >> what are some? >> i wrote her comeback song "i didn't know my own strength" and "kiss forever." there are a bunch of songs i've written for her.

>> when you look at whitney, the picture being painted is of this beautifully talented young woman who fell victim to fame, hollywood, possibly bobby brown and the marriage wasn't helpful. knowing her as you do, what do you think? >> i wasn't around her all the time. i don't really know. it happens. fame is dangerous, isn't it? that level of fame. it's hard. there's so many -- if you have a spread election to be addicted it's the worst thing that can happen. you will maybe feel lonely and go to that or people get close to you and giving you drugs. it's hard to escape that. you have to be very strong, you know. it's like you're singing to, you know, 50,000 people and none of these people really know you. >> how did she seem to you, whitney? >> when i've seen her, a very up person, so full of life. that's why this is so weird. she is so full of life, you can't imagine her not being alive.

>> it's interesting that don said the coroner was mocking of people saying prescription drugs are killing celebrities in los angeles. i have to say, from where i've been sitting last year, they are. it's the mixture of prescription drugs with alcohol or whatever or bad doctoring, whatever it is, there's no doubt michael jackson and whitney houston would still be alive if they weren't -- >> they're always going to give them that, always a doctor. >> isn't that the problem in los angeles, always doctors prepared to cross the line and do this. >> probably are. i'm sure it's easier when you're a famous person. no one wants to say no to you when you're famous. that's the bad thing about it. >> the thing that really angers me, it came out when i was interviewing shaka can, an intense emotional interview, she had been an addict and new whitney. let's reacquaint ourselves with what she said. >> i stand on that. whoever flew her out to perform

at that party should have provided someone to be there, to somehow just keep the riff raft out of the situation, keep some of the dangerous people away. >> you see, the more i thought about what she said there and i listened to dr. drew erupting in anger earlier on the anderson cooper show, i understood why. the reality is if you have been an addict, you remain in recovery. >> always an addict. >> some of these people she was hanging around with have been popping up on television saying she's only had a few classes of champagne. >> you can't do that. >> how stupid can you be to think you can let an addict have a few glasses of champagne when she's taking prescription drugs. >> what can you do? she'll go somewhere. >> i think what you do -- >> you want to -- >> people should take responsibilities as shaka ckhan

said. somebody flew whitney houston in. >> don't go to this club or do this. >> who was looking after her. everyone now is with hind sooigt talking in this very -- wasn't whitney fantastic? bottom line she was let down by people. i don't know who they are, people letting her down all this week. she's been partying and partying. >> she wasn't listening to them, i don't care what you say, i'm going out partying. >> is it right to apportion blame then? >> i'm sorry? >> is it right to apportion blame? >> on people at the party. i don't think you can blame them. she came to a party. too bad she went there, right, like someone said, no, whitney, you can't go. i can't really judge that. i wish -- i wish that she didn't go or she had a change of heart and didn't want to go out. if she went out -- we don't really know.

see, we don't really know what happened. >> we do know she went out thursday night and performing and drinking champagne all night. she's an addict. i don't know what people around her were thinking, an addict can take this stuff and mix it with alcohol. that's where the prescription drugs in her case, probably killed her. we don't know. >> it's a deadly combination. >> i just think it -- no one seems to be holding their hands up to say, we got this wrong. >> it's hard. >> having worked with her, do you feel she was so strong-willed -- >> she seemed pretty strong-willed, while i was in the studio -- >> can you imagine she would instinctively rail against anyone who tried to tell her what to do? >> i have a feeling she did what she wanted to do, you know, in working with her. probably said, no, whitney, you can't go party. i don't care what you say. i can see that. i've never gone out partying with her. i can see that in her

personality. >> you were at the clive davis party. >> yeah. >> shaka khan didn't go and thought it was tasteless to continue with it. what did you feel? >> you know, it was weird, yeah. it was strange. it was strange to be there because all i kept thinking personally kept thinking about was that her body is on the fourth floor. i just sat at my table. i don't drink much. i kept saying, more wine, please. maybe it was -- if it was me, i would have probably canceled. i don't know what that entailed. >> i think it was very hard for clive davis, i have to say, i wouldn't criticize him at all. >> i'm not criticize iing clive. >> i wouldn't either. sha shaka khan was upset. >> if he would have he could have. i went to his hotel room, that man was devastated, how he pulled that together to be that strong, it amazed me.

>> stay with us. we will have deepak chopra. i want to talk about celebrities and prescription drugs that may be a hell of a lot more dangerous than people think they are and more dangerous than street drugs.

♪ ♪ >> whitney houston singing a song diane warren wrote, "i learned from the best" and joined by deepak chopra, best selling author of "the seven spiritual laws for success." my twitter feed just exploded after the last segment when we're talking about who may or may not be to blame for whitney houston. i feel like chaka khan did, for an addict to be dragged around the hollywood night spots before the grammys and seen openly drinking with champagne and stuff seemed to me to be utterly responsible for anyone who had known her background. i would say to twitter, to be fair, two out of every five are

saying i'm right. three out of every five don't agree and think self-responsibility is the key and whitney is to blame. what do you think? >> it's very complicated. once you're an addict, you're always an addict and very difficult to control your substance abuse. the fact is that when you mix alcohol with prescription drugs, tranquilizers, sedatives, it can be a very dangerous combination and the fact medical prescriptions now are the number one cause of drug addiction. the number one cause of drug addiction is no longer street drugs, medically prescribed drugs, tranquilizers, painkillers and so on. this is a problem. you have high performance artists under a lot of stress, a lot of them have addictive tendencies and then you have enab enabling doctors who get their identity from celebrity associations, they're addicted to the celebrity.

it's very difficult to control the situation. >> we're losing a lot of incredibly talented people. michael jackson, amy winehouse, now, whitney houston. none of them lived past 50. >> so many people, yes. particularly in the music industry, there seems to be a particularly proneness to addictive behavior. >> let me ask diane about that. i will ask diane. when you've been written for these big stars, do you see them change? when they become fabulously famous, rich, successful, start getting into this whole drug scene, legal and illegal, do you see a change in them? >> i don't usually hang out with the artists i work with, i don't really see that. i see them change in different ways. i see the people. i see a lot of hangers on come

around them and when they would come the first time in this studio, next time their five minders and all -- you know what i mean? that is kind of dangerous. what happens is you surround yourself with a bunch of yes people and a bunch of people that want like what deepak said, they get their identity from celebrities. >> i think that's a very good point. they become like blood sucking leaches. they get their own celebrity status by being around the celebrity. it's not in their interest to say no to the star. >> it's co-dependent addictive relationship. you have doctors that are known as concierge doctors, boutique doctors, pill mills owned by doctors and drug suppliers. so -- you have the same person getting prescriptions from multiple doctors, pharmacists usually know that the same person is getting from the prescription from multiple doctors but they ignore it very

frequently. it should be something very easy to monitor. every time a narcotic is dispensed or sedative or tranquilizer, there is a record for it, yet people still have this problem. >> we don't know enough facts yet about the whitney houston case. the only thing we know as a fact is that she was a self-confessed drug addict. is that really angers me about what we saw this week. this was a public meltdown going on. she was being seen coming out of clubs apparently with blood on her legs, we don't know it was blood, it may have been red wine, as some people were saying, it was an unedifying spectacle, whatever it was. when i saw some of the people she was partying with glibly say, oh, yeah, she was drinking champagne but she was fine. massive alarm bells should have rung, shouldn't it? >> yes. if somebody is a self-confessed

addict who previously had problems, the correct thing to do by responsible people do is an intervention. again, as said just now, enablers are yes people. they don't like to say no to somebody who's rich or perceived as powerful or famous. fame itself is an addiction, too. you have lots of addictive behavior going on. addiction from the doctors addicted to the celebrity. fame as an addiction by itself. you have co-dependent disfunctional relationships that initiate per pet tu it an and continue the problem. you don't have responsible people in this situation. if somebody had seen that behavior which you just showed, th there should have been an intervention, yes. >> i agree. diane. >> i agree. some people don't know enough to know that -- they might think it's okay for them to have a glass of wine when you're an addict. she's not doing crack or coke. what's wrong with a glass of

wine? a lot of people don't know that. >> deepak, you mentioned the fame itself is a drug. i totally concur. i have seen people wreck their lives to this addiction of being famous. it totally wrecks their lives. you have seen that, i know, for other people. what is the cure for that? how do you treat an addiction to fame? >> you have to realize that fame actually causes the same brain chemical changes as a drug does. you have to have counseling for a situation like that. it's very difficult. i have a rehab center, we have a rehab center in paradise valley in british columbia, where we counsel people and also detox them emotionally and physically through various procedures, teach them meditation, yoga, breathing techniques, cognitive

therapy and even then it's quite difficult. >> finally, i know you've been working with demi moore, one of my favorite actresses. she came on my show last year. i was devastated to see she's having to have treatment. how is she doing? >> piers, i'm not at liberty to talk about that right now. >> okay. fair enough. send her my very best. we hope she's back in top form soon. deepak chopra and diane warren, thank you very much. when we come back, i'll talk with two music legends that worked with whitney houston and what went wrong with her career and that amazing voice. vacations are always wasn'ta good ideaa ♪ priceline negoti - - no time. out quickly. you're miles from your destination. you'll need a hotel tonight we don't have time to bid you don't have to bid. at priceline you can choose from thousands of hotels on sale every day.

welcome to you both. my condolences. i have everyone on here. i don't say that enough. you new whitney real welch better than i did. and i'm sure grief is what you're experiencing this week more than anything else. >> i was saying to kenny, i knew her professionally, not so much as a friend. kenny was a real friend to her. maybe he has a different take. >> you guys between you produced some of their biggest songs and successes. you heard the debate with diane and deepak chopra. who is to blame when you lose a person of that quality at 48 years old, let's put it like that, to a drug related downfall, who's to blame? what do you think? >> who's to blame when it's just somebody we don't know. if you don't know she wasn't a star before, most of the time you don't blame it on that person, you don't blame their

family or people around them that weren't there. for the most part, it has to come to her. unfortunately, i don't like to say it's her fault, a whole life thing in terms of whatever she was dealing with and things she was carrying with her through her life that put her in that position. >> when you worked with her, were you aware of all these struggles she was going through? >> i think any singer that sings as amazing as she sung, when you have a certain pain that you can touch people, you're carrying a pain, it could be from childhood, something that helps make it great, it's something that you can't manufacture it, i don't care how many people would sing "i'll always love you," they would never do it that way. when she sang that song, she nailed it. that was it. no one will ever do this again. >> that's true. no one could sing it like whitney. >> she owned it. like i say about her. she was like a laser beam.

during that time we made that song and the other songs i did for "the bodyguard" and kenny did, too. s she's be working 12 hours a day and come into the studio and rip off her coat and sing like -- >> what happened? >> i don't know what her life was like before clive discovered her. she had demons for sure. i do disagree. i said on the break, i think everybody is responsible for themselves on a much lower, lesser scale, we're all sort of -- i saw those chocolate chip cookies there in, i would love to eat every last one of them. i know if i do that everyday i will be fat. so you just -- you know, i don't mean to simplify addiction, food is an addiction, too. >> i said on twitter, if you want to tell me what you think, send me your views now. there's definitely more people agreeing with what you're both saying, the responsibility should start with whitney. my issue isn't so much who was

to blame for her drug problems, i don't like what was happening last week. i don't like the fact one of the world's most famous drug addicts is out in hollywood night clubs boozing the night away and nobody is trying to stop her. >> if you were out in a hollywood nightclub thursday night and i saw you and you were drunk out of your mind whatever it was, would you blame the guys with you? i blame you. >> i'm not an addict and no one knows i've never been an addict, i never have been. no one would know that. >> if you were drunk out of your mind, would it be somebody else's responsibility. >> anyone can get drunk but if you were a well chronicled addict who's been to hell and back with this addiction, is there nobody in the whitney system? sn>> whitney was very strong-willed. she will too what she's going to do. >> i keep being told that. she wouldn't have listened anyway. >> she obviously didn't listen, would do what she was going to do. >> that's what i always said

about singing in the studio, i ask her to give me a lick or note and always give me something i would ask for. the great thing it was usually better than anything i could ask for. >> her instinctive reaction is to rail against what you wanted. >> to take some direction. >> you can't have conversations with people when they're stars about some things. i sat down with a new artist i'm thinking about signing. i got a video camera. i said, i want to tell you a few things and i want to tell you this because in two years if you become a star, i won't be able to have this conversation with you so i'm videotaping you now so i can show it to you in two years. >> how much is ego and how much is paranoia and insecurity and all those things that comes with making it big in the movie busines business. >> stardom is so intoxicating. you guys both probably know, you can't go anywhere without anybody saying, i love your show. >> it's a totally different

thing with that kind of recognition to superstar come to of michael jackson or whitney houston. they were on a different level even to most celebrities. i'm curious -- i detected in both of them serious vulnerabilities. what do you think? >> i think she was vulnerable. i don't know it was all about being a star. i think it goes to another place. the whitney i knew, it wasn't that she was loving being a star. she loved the music and loved performing. when it was time to do her thing, that was what pushed her. >> let's take a quick break. i want to talk specifically about her voice and what happened to her voice and how much you think that played a part in her to stuff. ok! who gets occasional constipation,

audience turned on whitney a bit. tell me what happened. >> she had won another award and suddenly, there were boos in the audience when she won an award. she was shocked, what did i do? it was just one of those things, free blog time, people were tired of her winning things. >> how did she react to that afterwards? >> we talked about it later the first time i visited her at her house, she was like, i can't let that happen. she didn't like that. she didn't like being unliked, especially not knowing the reason. she was just -- she was just doing a normal thing. >> then things got worse for her, i think, just observing from the outside, what it must be like, we talked about this with chaka khan last night, when a singer who's that good suddenly becomes not quite as good at singing and their voice slightly goes. what do you think? i have seen you quoted as

saying, that may have been part of her problem. >> it happens to every singer. nobody at 50 and 60 is what they were at 23 and why singers start doing songs at 30s and 40s and lower the key by a half tone and another half tone and two tones and by 55 or 60, you don't recognize it and the voice is a muscle. i think she had bad dna, just got the bad draw on the dna. i don't think it had a lot to do with whatever her other problems were. >> she had -- how good was her voice at its best? >> better than anybody on the planet. >> literally? >> for me. would you say? >> had there ever been a better recording artist? >> i always say she was the best singer ever. >> i would put celine and tony bennett in my world. >> and others said i had never heard a better natural singing

voice. >> herring distinc-- her instine beyond anything. >> what i mentioned about the pain, she was able to make you feel her words. >> she was. >> part of that may be the gospel background she had, when you're singing in a gospel church regularly and stuff, it's very emotive. i saw that side to her definitely. you could see when she was a young singer. the footage is coming out now. when that goes, that instrument starts to go, what does it do to a singer? you worked with all the greats. >> not even the voice. every artist has a span, seven or 10 years hitting it hard and heavy. if you looked since the '50s, you can pick any artist from glenn campbell to lionel richie and diana ross, boom, the hits stop and the next generation moves in. >> it must be desperately hard for some.

>> not hard for everybody but some, sure. >> did you speak with whitney after things began to go with her voice, do you know how she felt about it? >> didn't really talk about it. >> dealt with it. >> was it the unmentionable? >> you made a record and made the best you could make. you wouldn't go for the higher notes as much. you would still push for what you could get out of it and that's the best you could do. it is a hard thing to deal with. i'm sure she had to deal with it. she didn't talk about it. i'm sure she had to deal with it, had to know it everyday. but she still, you know, it's not like she stopped. she kept singing. >> kenny, kenny is a great singer. you can't hit the notes when you were 20. >> yeah, i can, what are you talking about? >> you can? whoops, commercial. >> are we making too much of whitney's problems? did most divas in history of problems, you think back to judy

garland and all of them. they all had history in their lives. should it be something we focus on or celebrate as i instinctively begin to feel should we focus more on these incredible songs she sang. >> i think so. everyone has issues. we only are on it because she is a superstar. other than that, we really should be happy for what she gave us. >> she left a gift. she left the greatest gift in one of her songs. this music will live on forever and ever. >> i think it's very poignant and pertinent she will be eulogized in the church she first sang. i think that's very special. thank you very much. coming up tonight, a special only in america, new jersey says good-bye to whitney houston. we hear what governor christie has planned. and new threats in iran, my interview with a leader and what he calls their plan for an empire.

prevent those attacks for a very long time. unfortunately, they succeeded to do it in india and tried to do it in georgia a few weeks ago. it's something iran is responsible for. >> is israel prepared to act unilaterally against iran if the wider international feeling is that there is no grounds for military action, would israel go alone? >> israel is trying to stop the military program of iran for years. unfortunately for many, many years, most of the world believed iran likes terrorism from israel's program only and unfortunately only after 9/11 and spain and russia, the world realized terrorism can hit everywhere against every one. since then, the world is much more determined to combat terrorism and the outcome is

very positive. with iran, it's absolutely the same. for many, many years, they didn't believe us they are having a military program and asked for proof. more than that, only when realized that the iranians are developing new missiles with much longer range than israel of 3,000 kilometers, that we put within that range all the capitals of europe, like london, paris, madrid, rome, even the southern part of russia, they started to act. the iranians are trying to develop even longer missile with longer range of 10,000 kilometers that can come here to the states. so the world now is more determined to fight them back. the sanctions that were imposed by the european union recently are much tougher than those light sanctions that was imposed by the security council. and i believe that if those sanctions will include the

iranian as well as the central bank of iran and those sanctions will be imposed by the european union, followed by the united states, canada, australia, japan, south korea, i believe that finally it might work. >> but does israel now and israelis, do they feel vulnerable because of the arab spring and the sense of perhaps all allies aren't quite as trustworthy as they once were. has it become a problem for you? >> every one of us, it doesn't matter if you're israelis, americans, europeans, we are in favor of those people that are asking for freedom, for human rights, for liberty. unfortunately in every country that they implemented the coup there or had an election, the islamist groups came to power. those islamist groups are saying very clear that they don't want to have any kind of engagement with israel or the people of

israel. and that is very pity of course. we would like to believe that the people themselves that ask for freedom are not asking for a new regime that will be a much more extreme or religious and don't want to have any kind of relations with israel. but like it looks now, in our view, it is not arab spring, it might be the islamic winter. >> and finally, what is your view of what should be done right now in syria? there is a growing sense that something has to be done, but not a consensus of what or when or how. >> in syria, there is a massacre. it is a killing innocent syrian civilians, president assad with his collaborators of iran, from iran and from the hezbollah. the iranians and the militants of hezbollah are there. they are helping him to fire toward buildings full with

innocent syrians. there are children and old people. and that is something that should be stopped. of course we were very sorry to find out that russia and china have decided to veto the resolution against syria. they have, of course, their own attitude because they might look at it in a different way than we look at it as the western world, they don't want syria to fall, maybe because they believe that it will bring the iranians down and maybe will enable the united states to take control of all of the middle east, to take control of the oil fields. but more than that, i think that now the russians and the chinese that are under huge pressure, they realize it can't last forever. and what i've heard only recently from the president of

the united states that maybe the united states itself with its allies will maybe think about another way of stopping it. we should stop it and the sooner the better. >> vice prime minister shalom, thank you very much indeed. >> thank you very much. now to politics in this country. in a stunning role reversal for mitt romney and rick santorum. take a look at the latest cnn/orc poll. santorum has more than doubled his share of gop voters since last month and is down to a virtual tie with romney. ron paul and newt gingrich are a distant third and fourth. tomorrow, rick santorum will be here to talk about how he's shaking up the race. rick santorum, exclusive, tomorrow. coming up, only in america, a proper farewell for whitney houston, jersey style. ay and expected it to grow. then the world changed... and the common sense of retirement planning became anything but common.

she was a friend and such an amazing, amazing artist. why does it take death for us to appreciate folks? you know? you look at the charts today and whitney houston is number one everywhere. how come we can't wake up when

she's healthy and wonderful and say, we're blessed by her, let's listen to her. >> that was lenny kravitz paying tribute to whitney houston. tonight, only in america, a farewell to a cherished style, jersey style. her funeral will be invitation only, as befit an international superstar. but her home state couldn't let it go without its own tribute to a favorite daughter. governor chris christie says he'll issue an executive order to have flags in the state fly at half-staff on the day of the funeral. >> whitney houston was -- was an important part of the fabric, cultural fabric of this state. and as i said, on the night of her passing, i think, you know, she belongs in the same category from a musical perspective in new jersey history with folks like frank sinatra and count bassy and bruce springsteen. she was a cultural icon in this state. >> the funeral will take place at whitney's childhood church in newark. her fans have been leaving

flowers all day. pastor joe carter says his congregation is hurting. he told cnn that voice is silenced, but she left us with so much. and that surely is the truth. some people have mocked the eulogies pouring in for whitney houston because of the drug related issues she suffered in her personal life. i ask this, how many people in modern entertainment history have brought as much joy to so many strangers' lives as whitney and her incredible vice? the answer is very, very few. she had a special, unique talent. and with her tragically early death, this is not the time to pour scorn on a woman who clearly found the road to superstardom impossible to handle. instead, let's acknowledge, remember and celebrate whitney houston's genius, never better heard than her defining performance of "i will always love you." ♪ and i will always lov
