Bobbi Kristina Secretly Engages Her Step-Brother + Tweets Of Nick Lashing Haters


Just one month after her mother's tragic death **, Bobbi Kristina Brown has found love again and is secretly engaged!

Bobbi is no doubt going through a hard time after losing her mother, Whitney Houston, but marrying her sort-of step brother seems extreme! 
The 19-year-old daughter of the late Whitney Houston and singer Bobby Brown has agreed to marry Nick Gordon, a longtime friend who's known as her "adopted brother," Star magazine is exclusively reporting in the new issue, but the couple is keeping the news a secret for now.

According to Star Magazine:
"Nick proposed to Krissy on March 10, and she said yes," a family friend told Star. "Krissy said Nick is the only person she trusts in the world. They have a very deep connection."

Bobbi Kristina lives with Nick **, 22, in Whitney's $1.2 million Atlanta townhouse, and they call each other "brother and "sister," says the source.

Although he was never legally adopted by Whitney, she took Nick in several years ago after his father went to prison and his mother was unable to care for him.

"Nick took care of Whitney and Kristina," his grandmother Maxine Gordon tells Star. "He's always been extremely protective of Kristina."

Krissy and Nick are keeping their engagement secret and haven't told too many people yet, but Star has learned that many insiders are suspicious of the timing of the proposal.

With Bobbi Kristina set to inherit all of Whitney's $10 million fortune, "Everyone is worried that Nick is looking to take advantage of Krissy," the pal tells Star.

As she struggles with her mother's February 11th death, Bobbi Kristina is desperate for someone to lean on.

"She's taking prescription pills and saying things that make her family feel she's suicidal," the family friend said. "Nick is getting her at her most vulnerable. If he really loved her, he'd back off the engagement and just be her friend."

Meanwhile, Nick is not taking it easy with haters confronting him on twitter. He has been all out lashing those against their union.

Funeral Home Owner Accused Of Leaking Whitney Houston's Casket Photo Receives Threats

Funeral Home Owner Accused Of  Leaking Whitney Houston's Casket Photo Receives Threats

The owner of the funeral home that handled Whitney Houston's remains is said to be 'devastated' that a photo apparently showing the singer lying in an open casket was leaked to the National Enquirer.

It is believed the picture was taken inside the Whigham Funeral Home in Newark, New Jersey, where Whitney's family attended a private wake last Friday on the eve of her funeral.

But Carolyn Whigham , who owns the business, says neither she nor her staff is responsible.

'We did not take that photo. We did not sell the photo. We would never do something like that,' Whigham told the New York Daily News.


Whigham, who is a second-generation owner of the Whigham Funeral Home said she had a long-standing relationship with Houston.

'Whitney was a friend,' she said. 'I'm the one who flew to Los Angeles and got Whitney from the coroner's office. I did everything to protect her.'

The image shows the singer's body resting inside her partially open casket.

The National Enquirer has run the snap alongside a bold headline proclaiming: 'Whitney: The last photo!'

When the picture hit newstands, the business owner said she received a number of distressing emails from irate Houston fans and she now fears for her staff's safety.

'One email said that if the person owned a dog, and the dog died, they would not come to my funeral home,' she said.

'I'm worried about my employees, worried about me. I've been in business since 1943. This is my name, my character. Honestly, this is my life's work. We would never do something like this.'

Houston's mother Cissy and daughter Bobbi Kristina are said to be outraged about the photo.

Uncensored Photo Of Whitney Houston In Her Open Coffin! Is This Really Fair?

On the cover of the current issue of the National Enquirer is the uncensored picture of the late queen of pop, Whitney Houston in her coffin.

The photograph apparently showing Whitney in her open coffin has been published and is already raising controversy.

The very disturbing picture shows the singer lying dead in her golden casket, clad in a regal purple dress, wearing diamond brooch and earrings worth $500,000 and had gold slippers on her feet, according to the publication.

The tabloid has run the snap alongside a bold headline proclaiming: "Whitney: The last photo!"

The purported photograph was allegedly taken inside the Whigham Funeral Home in Newark, New Jersey, where her family attended a private wake last Friday on the eve of her funeral.

I will not agree less with Celeb DirtyLaundry that a line has been crossed. It seems highly unethical to me to publish a photo of this nature in the first place, but especially without permission from the person's family. That seems to be the consensus on Twitter, as well. But where should the line be drawn in the first place?

And seriously is there No privacy for Whitney, even in death?

Photos Of Whitney Houston’s Daughter, Bobbi Kristina Drinking And Partying Hard

Bobbi Kristina Brown the only surviving daughter of late Whitney Houston has a history of substance abuse and the tragic loss of her mom could serve as a trigger for further problems. Already rumors have been circulating that Bobbi  immediately after Whitney’s funeral on Saturday ran out to get high.
An American website:  starzuncut.com is reporting:
A fan just submitted this story “Whitney Houston’s Daughter Bobbi Kristina Smoking Weed (PICS)”??
“Here are photos I managed to get my hands on, they were sent to me on my iphone. The pictures are of Whitney Houston‘s daughter Bobbi kristina brown, smoking weed and sipping cocktails with her ex and friends @ a house party in the hills.”
“Ya, as you can see she is deep into the party scene, BK was always getting high, smoking blunts and sh*t. She would kick back a few cocktails with her mom Whitney on occasion.”
“It’s probably the best thing for her to go into rehab.”
I could not agree less with Celeb Dirty Laundry that – Bobbi is the child of two long-term junkies who has herself already manifested serious substance abuse issues. She has loads of money, no self-discipline, no GOOD role models, and no serious vocation. Worst of all is that since Bobbi was born on March 4, 1993, she is over 18 and legally an ‘adult.’ Nobody can make her do anything.Bobbi can really use the support of her friends and family at a time like this. Let’s hope she gets the help she needs.

Osama Bin Laden Lusted, Dreamt Of Marrying Whitney Houston And Murdering Bobby Brown

This is kind of hilarious. Like all beautiful, successful women Whitney Houston had more than her share of male admirers.
Extraordinary as it might seem, bin Laden is said to have lusted after Houston, dreamed of marrying her and at one point even plotted to murder her husband Bobby Brown.
The incredible account of the terrorist's infatuation with Houston comes from Sudanese author Kola Boof, who it is widely accepted lived with him as his mistress.
According to Mail online:
Miss Boof, who claims she was kept as a 'sex slave' by bin Laden, said he thought the singer was 'the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen' and that he was desperate to marry her.
In an autobiography released in 2006, Boof claims bin Laden plotted to have Bobby Brown murdered before wooing Houston by giving her a mansion he owned in the suburbs of Khartoum.
And according to the her account, the strongly racist bin Laden puffed on cannabis before announcing he would be willing to 'break his colour rule' and make Houston one of his wives. 
Inside his warped mind he believed Houston was truly Islamic but had been brainwashed by American culture.
Ms Boof, 37, who is black, claimed bin Laden scolded her for braiding her hair and ordered her to model herself on Houston instead.
She recalls in her book: 'He smoked a little marijuana from a gold hookah, sipping his tea and instructing me that I was always to keep hot tea for his 'kif-canbo,' to ease the burn in his chest.
'Osama said only monkeys braid their hair. He told me that the singer Whitney Houston was the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen and that she never wore her hair braided.
'"I want you to fix your hair like hers from now on," he said. "I can't put my fingers through it when it's braided."

'Osama kept coming back to Whitney Houston. He asked if I knew her personally when I lived in America. I told him I didn't.
'He said that he had a paramount desire for Whitney Houston, and although he claimed music was evil, he spoke of someday spending vast amounts of money to go to America and try to arrange a meeting with the superstar.
'It didn't seem impossible to me. He said he wanted to give Whitney Houston a mansion that he owned in a suburb of Khartoum. He explained to me that to possess Whitney he would be willing to break his color rule and make her one of his wives.
'I tried to hide my outrage at his racist remarks, but it would come to pass that for the entire time that I would be trapped in his palm, Whitney Houston's was the one name that would be mentioned constantly.
'How beautiful she is, what a nice smile she has, how truly Islamic she is but is just brainwashed by American culture and her husband—Bobby Brown, whom Osama talked about having killed, as if it were normal to have women's husbands killed.
'In his briefcase I would come across photographs of the star, as well as copies of Playboy, but nobody in the West believes me when I tell them this. It's like they have this totally bogus image of Osama bin Laden.
'Anyway, it would soon come to the point where I was sick of hearing Whitney Houston's name.'

Black Entertainers and Drug Abuse: What Could Be Responsible?

King And Queen Of Pop: Gone Too Soon

"Are blacks (African Americans) genetically predisposed to addiction to narcotics? How is that once they start taking drugs, it spirals out of control- while many White celebs are still able to do drugs and "function."?"
Well, before  Whitney Houston, the last major celebrity to die from crack addiction was  Amy Winehouse.
 Unless my memory fails me, I do not believe that she was black.
And then there are others -such as Anna Nicole Smith, Marilyn Monroe, John Belushi, Elvis Presley, and many other white celebrities who died from some form of drug addiction or the other. So if there is a racial basis for drug addition, the evidence has so far been carefully hidden.
Moving on ..
If you travel to economically depressed cities with mostly white populations, you will find a major addiction to CRACK. Sure, crack addiction has also devastated black neighborhoods, but there are HUNDREDS of mostly-white communities in North America where crack addiction is also epidemic.
So the big factor underlying crack addiction is  NOT racial. It is Economic.  Simply put, crack is the poor man's cocaine.  If a cocaid drug user is rich, she will likely do cocaine. If she is poor, she will have no choice but crack. People like Whitney  Houston and Amy Winehouse who are rich (?) and also on crack are exceptions to the rule, and rich folks like that probably got into the crack habit from hanging out with ghetto company.
Moving on …
