National Enquirer's Dead Whitney Houston Photo Sparks Controversy

743 views

Get ready to be appalled or intrigued in the checkout line: The tabloid National Enquirer has run a photo on its cover of what appears to be Whitney Houston lying in her casket.

Reportedly taken at the Whigham Funeral Home in New Jersey and showing the pop queen in a golden coffin, the photo has already sparked outrage among other press outlets. The Washington Post, for instance, said a line had been crossed in publishing the photo.

But as the Guardian points out, photos of dead celebrities in the press aren?t exactly a new trend, especially when it comes to tabloids. The Enquirer famously printed a photo of Elvis in his casket in 1977, and more recently a long list of publications ran a photo of Michael Jackson?s corpse after it became part of the trial of his former doctor Conrad Murray.

Nobody wants to be remembered next to Bat Boy, but don?t expect the Enquirer to get classy?they?re in the business of selling papers..

    National Enquire Publishes Morbid Photo of Whitney Houston's Open Casket

    So they National Enquirer is known for posting some
    pretty shocking and obscure photos, but I think this one takes the
    cake!
    The infamous tabloid has sparked outrage, once again, this time for
    publishing a photograph of Whitney Houston apparently lying in her
    open coffin.
    The chilling image, which was allegedly taken at the family's private
    service at a funeral home in New Jersey, was splashed across the
    front cover of this week's edition.
    It shows the late singer lying dead in her gold casket, wearing her
    favorite purple dress and $500,000 worth of jewelry and gold
    slippers.
    The disturbing image was accompanied with the bold headline
    'Whitney: The last photo!' The magazine does not reveal who took
    the morbid photograph.
    But this isn't the first time they've published such a morbid pic, they
    famously did the same with Elvis in 1977. Do you think this is
    completely tasteless and wrong?

    Whitney Houston's Family Thinks Bobby Brown Is After Her Fortune!

    It's not really a secret that Whitney Houston's family is trying to keep Bobby Brown away from his daughter, but know we know it's not just cause their mean! They don't want him trying to take Bobbi Kristina's impending fortune.
    Bobby Brown initially flew to Los Angeles after hearing that his daughter, Bobbi Kristina, was hospitalized following the news of her mother's death. Naturally, a father would want to see his daughter after such a tragedy. But his in-laws have not allowed a visit.
    Reportedly, Whitney's mom Cissy Houston, is trying to block Bobby from seeing 18 year-old Bobbi Kristina, because she believes he's making a play for his daughter's affection to latch on to what could be an estate worth around $20 million. And that figure could double by the end of this year.
    The family is convinced Bobby is broke. Not to mention the fact that they think Bobby was the main factor that led to Whitney's issues with substance abuse. Houston's family has allegedly told the singer he's not invited to the funeral or allowed in Bobbi Kristina's life.
    But if Bobby isn't allowed to attend the service, he might still be able to see it. The funeral will be broadcast by the Associated Press wire service, and from there, it will be offered to broadcasters to air on television.
