Whitney Houston In Her Casket

Did you want to see this photo of Whitney Houston‘s corpse in her casket? Because it’s staring at you from the cover of The National Enquirer at every gas station and grocery store check-out line.

The Enquirer has really outdone itself: Last week, they staged a model slumped in a bathtub to recreate how Whitney’s friends found her dead. And now they’ve infiltrated her private viewing — look how proudly they proclaim that in the headline — to snap an illicit photo with someone’s camera phone.

It’s becoming more and more commonplace to see photos of dead celebrities and/or political figures. Consider the disturbing autopsy photo of Michael Jackson‘s corpse that surfaced during the Conrad Murray trial, or the fact that you can probably track down the video of Saddam Hussein‘s execution if you look hard enough.  

I agree with Jezebel: Images are news. However, there’s a line being crossed here because Houston’s family obviously didn’t release this image to the public, not to mention the fact that it’s slapped on the cover of a publication you see in a setting as banal as the supermarket. Not that Bobbi Kristina Brown does her own shopping, but imagine seeing your mother’s corpse every time you go out for a gallon of milk.

Is it really not enough that the family televised and live-streamed Whitney’s funeralfor all of her fans?

Etta James Soul legend dies in California

US soul singer Etta James, best known for the tracks At Last and for I'd Rather Go Blind, has died aged 73.

It was announced last year that the singer had been diagnosed with leukaemia and was undergoing treatment.

The star began singing in a group aged 14, before she embarked upon a solo career where she signed to the legendary Chess Records label.

She went on to win six Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.

Legendary producer Jerry Wexler once called her "the greatest of all modern blues singers".

The singer died from complications of leukaemia

James' manager said she died at Riverside Community Hospital in California with her husband and sons at her side.

"It's a tremendous loss for her fans around the world," Lupe De Leon said. "She'll be missed. A great American singer. Her music defied category."

Singers have paid tribute to the star on Twitter. Bryan Adams wrote "Etta James... one of the best voices of all time... RIP".

Songwriter Nile Rodgers added: "When I was a kid, I remember walking all the way to Flash Record Shop in LA to buy a 45rpm single by Etta James. RIP."

British singer Adele has often cited James as an influence, and wrote an article praising her for The Observer in 2010.

"Everything she sings - you believe her, even if she never wrote a word of it herself. I saw her live in New York not so long ago: Extraordinary."

The singer's anguished blues vocals made her stand out, even as a child

Born Jamesetta Hawkins in 1938, her mother was only 14 years old, and she never knew her father.

Raised mainly by friends and relatives, she began singing when her grandparents took her to a Baptist Church, where she joined the choir as a soloist.

Later, in San Francisco, she formed a singing group called the Creolettes, who were discovered by bandleader Johnny Otis, who coincidentally also died this week.

The band recorded together for a number of years but it was not until 1960, when James signed to the legendary Chess Records as a solo artist, that she began to achieve musical recognition.

It was for this label that she released her two most acclaimed albums, At Last and The Second Time Around.

The former included her impassioned cover of Muddy Waters' I Just Want To Make Love To You, which is considered the predominant interpretation of the song - and gave James her biggest chart hit in the UK, landing at number five in 1996 after it was featured in an advert for Diet Coke.

However, her success in the 1960s was hindered by an addiction to heroin, and she was forced to rebuild her career after quitting the drug in 1974.

'Wonderful music'

Although she was popular on the R&B and blues scene throughout her career, mainstream success eluded her for many years.

She did not receive her first Grammy Award until 1994, for the album Mystery Lady, which consisted of covers of Billie Holiday songs. In 2003, she was given the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Several modern R&B stars paid their respects following the news of her death.

Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am wrote on Twitter: "Showing respect appreciation and love for all the wonderful music and joy Etta James brought to the world."

Kelly Rowland said: "Classic. One of a kind. Pure soul."

"Thank you for gracing us with your incredible talent and presence."
