Hospice Photo of Bobbi Kristina Brown Hits the Internet
Several weeks ago there was a rumor circulating that a family member had snapped a photo of Bobbi Kristina Brown as she lay dying in her hospice bed and that the photo was in fact being shopped to the media. The family was knee-deep in grief at the thought of losing Whitney Houston's only child and likely wasn't watching out for others with a money-making agenda. Unfortunately just a few days after Brown has been laid to rest that photo has surfaced.
Apparently the National Enquirer was the highest bidder because the last living photo of Brown is featured on the cover of their new issue that hits grocery store racks today. The fact that Brown is pictured looking peaceful, surrounded by flowers and photos of her mother doesn't seem to lessen the feeling that this is an invasive photo that the general public likely didn't need to see.
Supposedly another photo of Brown was snapped last weekend during her viewing. Chances are that if that rumor is true then it will be on next week's cover of the same tabloid because both photos were very likely to have been taken by the same person. Do you think that last photos like the one of Brown in her hospice bed should be fair game for the press?

Should WWE Have Fired Hulk Hogan for Repeatedly Dropping the N-Word?
It certainly hasn't been a good week
for wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan (real name Terry
Bollea), has it? A few short hours after word broke that a
racist rant by Hogan was about to be released to the public it was
also confirmed that his contract with WWE was in fact already
terminated. Perhaps the most interesting part of this whole story is
the fact that it's shocking since as recently as 2012 Hogan
was using racist language in radio interviews!
In recent years, WWE has embarked on a
mission to clean up their reputation and to become an organization
that is tolerant of all kinds of people, regardless of their heritage
or personal background. In doing so, the bar has been set incredibly
high for anyone affiliated with the brand and in serious instances,
your first serious strike is also your last. They have also paid
close attention to their female audience and their Total Divas
reality show is a runaway hit on E! Clearly, quickly releasing Hogan
was to show fans and their employees alike that it doesn't matter who
you are , if you don't live up to their moral code then you're gone.
Hogan,
for his part issued a public apology saying, “Eight years ago I
used offensive language during a conversation. It was unacceptable
for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for
it; and I apologize for having done it. This is not who I am. I
believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and
should not be treated differently based on race, gender, orientation,
religious beliefs or otherwise. I am disappointed with myself that I
used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own
beliefs.”
Do you think that he's actually sorry
for making the statements? Or is it more like Hogan is sorry that
saying these things cost him his job and may have tarnished his place
in WWE history? Do you agree with his firing or do you think that he
should have been issued a warning first? Tell us your thoughts in the
comments below!
