The National Enquirer Publishes a Photo of Whitney Houston in Coffin [PHOTO]
February 23, 2012 I have to admit, I did not think this would happen. I can't believe someone within the Houston Family circle would sell Whitney out like this. The National Enquirer has published a photo of Whitney Houston in an open coffin on the cover of this week's issue. The unauthorized photo shows Whitney lying in a gold coffin and wearing a purple dress with matching eye shadow, lip gloss and jewelry worth a reported $500,000. The coffin had Whitney's nicknamed embroidered in the silk lining between two treble clef symbols. The headline read, "Whitney: The Last Photo." WARNING, GRAPHIC PHOTO
