Houston says devil made him poke out his eye

"The devil made him do it, representatives for R&B singer Houston said in a statement explaining how his eye was seriously gouged.

"Houston's publicist issued a statement Thursday night denying reports he tried to take his life by jumping from a London hotel window last week. The statement said Houston 'found himself in the midst of a spiritual battle against the evil that runs rampant in the entertainment industry.'" (Via The Anomalist.)
