OMFG.
I do not in any way agree or approve of these photos being taken, but I was honestly shocked photos weren't leaked/taken - until now.
I think photos being taken in a private showing like this is an immoral act and the person who did this should definitely be punished... Literally profiting from the death of another human being. It's repulsive and disgusting.
There should definitely be a warning, or just a link without the picture to give people the option of seeing it or not. To be honest, I was shocked, but not upset for the simple reason that I hardly get sick or upset by things like this. By that I mean photos... not the entire situation at hand.
I can't believe a photo was taken though, when something like this occurs I seriously lose hope in humanity...

I just happened to be playing Whitney music when I came to this thread and saw THAT. I really hope a mod or something will remove it, given the circumstances. I mean, we all know how upset bojangles has been and I think we should be respectful. I definitely could have gone a lifetime without that reminder. The National Enquirer is a piece of shit rag, nothing more, nothing less. Is anyone surprised?

As that one link said, the Enquirer posted a pic of Elvis Presley in his casket. Unfortunately, it is par for the course with these kinds of publications.
I take it that the James Brown pics (that included Michael Jackson paying his respects) was an officially released image, or was that a "leak," as well?

Maybe she meant the style of the look. I agree, though, that a link would suffice and the image should not just appear right in the thread.

Even in death, as in life she was beautiful beyond compare. What vampires to publish that though. RIP Nippy.

Wow, her death never really hit me until clicking that photo. That is a VERY scary thing to see. :(
How fucking tasteless of the Enquirer.

Well, her funeral that was "private" ended up being broadcast on the internet, so can you really be surprised to see this? I'm not shocked at all and while I have never bought a tabloid in my life, I really am not upset by it.
Yes, I loved Whitney. Her Whitney album was one of the first cassettes I remember owning and I have loved pretty much everything she has put out and followed her for a VERY long time (Heartbreak Hotel still remains one of my alltime fave Whitney songs). I, too, have been upset since this tragic event took place, but I think that the whole Amy Whinehouse thing really opened it up for me because as shocked as I was with her passing, (I kept hoping she was on a better path), I have to admit that I wasn't all that shocked when I heard that Whitney had left us.
I know we all deal with grief differently, but that's my 2 cents.

That's from the private viewing, not the funeral, which means that someone in her family or a close friend took the photo and sold it. Even in death, Whitney has disgusting people a little too close to her.

It's just so messed up either way, who would want their family member or want THEMSELF to be blasted on the front of a magazine cover laying in a casket for all to see at every store in the United States? It's horrible! They are vile, horrible human beings. Every editor at National Enquirer gets whatever bad comes their way, as well as whoever sold this picture to them. Words can't express how disgusted and angry I am.

Madonna was asked on camera about her reaction to Whitney dancing to her half time show, and she snapped back "no comment."
She seems to have gotten extra bitchy lately.

So f**king tasteless...even in death the NE can't stop dragging her through the mud. I heard Whitney was even pissed when she saw that the printed that she collapsed right before she died. Madonna was asked on camera about her reaction to Whitney dancing to her half time show, and she snapped back "no comment." She seems to have gotten extra bitchy lately. I'm starting to become less and less of a fan of hers as years go by. I don't like the way she shaded Janet in SB warm-up interviews either.

I saw the video. Madonna didn't say "no comment", she simply didn't respond at all.
Lol, everyone knows Madonna's a bitch but it's not like she's some heartless witch. I'm sure she will comment on Whitney at some point.

Such a beautiful human being, inside and out. Her smile could light up a room. As sick and messed up as that picture is, she looks very peaceful, which gives me comfort. This isn't like the Michael Jackson picture, she seems...at ease.
I'm still shocked over the news and I've been playing Whitney since the announcement. We'll never find another like her.

There were reports last weekend that Madonna was dancing to Whitney's IWDWSWLM in NYC.
