In a new tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, music icon Whitney Houston refers to her ex-husband Bobby Brown as her main drug of choice.

"He was my drug," Houston told Winfrey of her ex-husband. "I didn't do anything without him."

Houston admitted her need to please Brown amidst her international notoriety, saying, "Something happens to a man when a woman has that much fame. ... I tried to play down all the time. I used to say, 'I'm Mrs. Brown, don't call me Houston.'"
