Whitney Houston said she was “older and matured” in what is believed to be her final interview.

The 48-year-old singer was pronounced dead at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon.

But, in an interview last November with Access Hollywood, to promote her new movie Sparkle which she stars in with American Idol Jordin Sparks, Houston talked candidly about how she had gotten her life back on track.

O'Brien knows all to well about alcohol and drug addiction as he's battled the disease for years.

In 2005, O'Brien left a string of sexually graphic voicemail messages to a woman he'd just met, suggesting they do cocaine together and have a three-way with his girlfriend. The tapes were a radio and TV sensation. O'Brien entered rehab for the first time soon after.

"Those were difficult times," O'Brien says. "I learned from them and I'm sober. I got through it and I feel better than I have in a long time."

As for his pal Lohan, she's currently rehabbing at the famed Betty Ford Center and will most likely remain there until at least her scheduled  Oct. 22 court appearance.
