The good news is that pop princess Whitney Houston has finally arrived in Australia.

The bad news is that her arrival was soured after a she threw a celebrity hissy fit while waiting for her luxury car at the parking terminal.

The decorated singer/actor is down under for a series of performances including concerts at the Acer Arena, Homebush, on Wednesday and the Hunter Valley on Saturday.

It is reported that Houston was furious when her pick up was not there to greet her and was quoted as saying, “This is b******” to those around her.

In total, she only had to wait a little over a minute for her silver Mercedes Benz to whisk her away from the public scrutiny at Brisbane International Airport, but it was enough for her to lose her cool.

One person who felt the wrath of the Houston hissy fit was bus driver Tony Fulan, who said he had a brief run-in with the star after suggesting she take off her hat and sunglasses to soak in the beautiful Queensland morning.

Mr Fulan claimed she told him to mind his own business and “get f*****”.

“The other drivers fell over laughing, but I was stunned,” Fulan said.

Houston traveled with Singapore Airlines in their business class section and arrived at the airport wearing knee-high leather boots, tight jeans and a crisp white button-up shirt, dark sunglasses and hat.

Houston looked every bit the super-star as she strutted through the airport, smiling, waving and giving a friendly “hello” multiple times to curious onlookers.
