(Newser) – Whitney Houston was so strung out on drugs that she didn't get out of her pajamas for 7 months, the Sun reports. In the first of a two-part Oprah interview set to air Monday, the singer openly discusses her out-of-control lifestyle with ex Bobby Brown—and owns up to it in a conversation that "will leave you gasping," says Oprah. "She gave it up."

"She talked about difficulty in her marriage, how that started," continues Oprah. "She talked about the drugs, she talked about what drugs she was doing. There wasn't a question I asked that she didn't answer."
