We were all shocked this weekend to hear the news of the death of Whitney Houston. The superstar singer, who was just 48, had been found dead in her hotel and it is believed she may have died in her bath as she prepared for a Hollywood party.

How did you react to the news of Whitney's sad death?

Many stars have sent their condolences after hearing the news including Barbara Streisand who said, "She had everything, beauty, a magnificent voice. How sad her gifts could not bring her the same happiness they brought us." But is it easier said than done to recognise your own gifts?
