Whitney Houston has never been one to stay out of the limelight for her crazy escapades - we suppose she felt compelled to upstage Bobby Brown and his rampantly questionable activities. But, of all of her questionable life choices, the one to join a cult has to be the most interesting.
Houston travelled to Israel back in 2003 to spend a significant amount of time with a pretty extremist cult labelled the 'Black Hebrews'. If that wasn't strange enough, the reason she made her pilgrimage wasn't quite a journey of self-exploration. She just wanted to find inspiration for her next Christmas album. We don't know if she missed out on the irony of spending time with Jewish people to get inspired about Christmas. At least she made it back in one piece.
