Last Photo of Whitney Houston

The last photos of Whitney Houston that were published were the ones where she partied in a black dress and her hair was wet. Then during her funeral, photos of her closed casket were also publicized.

But the National Enquirer published the ultimate Last Photo of Whitney Houston–lying dead in her open casket. It was featured on their cover with bulleted information about her funeral, like she wore her favorite purple dress and a pair of gold slippers. It was also reported that she was buried with $500,000 worth of jewelry. I think it is bad to have reported this, as there are grave diggers that might “disturb” her resting just to remove the valuable pieces on her.

Fans are outraged and shocked at what the National Enquirer did. But well, they have a to sell a paper. Tsk. Tsk.

Chris Cornell Tribute to Whitney Houston

Houston, 48, died last February 11, 2012 in what seemed to be a lethal concoction of prescription drugs and alcohol. She was buried at the Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey, last Sunday. The burial service was attended only by close family and friends. The open casket was just for private viewing. From the looks of her last photo, Whitney Houston remains beautiful.

Chris Cornell and His Tribute to Whitney Houston

“I Will Always Love You”

On Kris TV yesterday, the magazine talk show of Kris Aquino on ABS-CBN, I heard in their announcement that they are going to feature a tribute to Whitney Houston who died so suddenly this month.

In the same feather, I would like to post this acoustic tribute that rock n roll star Chris Cornell did. He sang “I Will Always Love You”, a love song popularized by Houston, which she sang as a theme song for the movie, The Bodyguard.

Cornell sang this live at the Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco, during the Obama 2012 Rally on February 16. There were negative comments on You Tube and I don’t know why. I do not really “know” Chris Cornell and this is the first time I heard of him, honestly. But I want to give credit where credit is due and he sang this song beautifully. He sounded really good and I am not even sure if he used gemini mixers. If he will continue to sing these kinds of songs, then I may as well be a fan! LOL

Bobby Brown Not Treated Well at Funeral of Whitney Houston

Singer Bobby Brown went to pay his last respects to his wife’s funeral but he was not treated well there.

It can be remembered that a lot of people are blaming Bobby for getting his superstar wife, Whitney Houston, hooked on illegal drugs. They were divorced a few years ago but the two claimed that they still loved each other.

A well-loved singer by people all over the world, Whitney died so suddenly and a lot of people are speculating that it is just the result of a long time of being a drug addict. And they say that Brown was to blame.

Houston’s final rites were held at Newark’s New Hope Baptist Church last Saturday. Brown was allowed to go in but stayed for only 15 minutes.

Here is Brown’s explanation:

“My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston. We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions. I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no one else to move. Security then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi Kristina. In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene. My children are completely distraught over the events. This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.”

What I don’t understand is, you get invited to a funeral? Whoa! Here in the Philippines, it is just so much different. I guess it is a cultural thing. Oh well.

It is just sad though why the lives of these superstars ended like this.

Many people are giving tribute to Whitney Houston all over the world and rock star Chris Cornell is one of them. Check out the Chris Cornell video here.
