Whitney Houston's Family Devastated by National Enquirer's

Whitney Houston's family devastated by National Enquirer's - Whitney Houston’s family is upset over an open casket photo the National Enquirer published, claiming the photo was of Houston before she was laid to rest.

Sources close to the family told TMZ that the Houston family had "their heart broken all over again" this week after the tabloid published the photo and put it on its cover.

The sources also told the website that the photo is indeed of Houston and are horrified that someone was able to breach security and snap the photo. The family also believes whoever took the picture was inside the funeral home, but do not know who could have done it.

While the family is not planning on looking further into the matter, the owner of the Whigham Funeral Home is insisting neither she nor her staff were the ones who took the photo.

Carolyn Whigham told the New York Daily News Friday that she is “horrified” by reports accusing her of taking the picture.

“We did not take that photo. We did not sell the photo. We would never do something like that,” she said.

“Whitney was a friend. I’m the one who flew to Los Angeles and got Whitney from the coroner’s office. I did everything to protect her.”

She added that she has received several emails from Houston’s fans threatening her and that she is “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.”


Lindsay Lohan NaKed Photos

Lindsay Lohan (Lindsay Dee Lohan) was born in New York City on 2 July 1986 to Dina Lohan and Michael Lohan. She began her career at age three as a model at the Eileen Ford Agency, and made appearances in over 60 television commercials, including spots for The Gap, Pizza Hut, Wendy's and Jell-O (opposite Bill Cosby). Lohan made her acting debut in 1996 as the third actress to play Ali Fowler in the television drama "Another World" (1964). Shortly afterward she was hand-picked by Oscar-nominated writer Nancy Meyers as estranged twin sisters in an adaptation by Walt Disney Pictures of a novel by Erich Kästner, which marked Meyers' directorial debut. Lohan's first feature film, The Parent Trap (1998), a remake of The Parent Trap (1961), was a modest commercial success, earning her widespread critical acclaim and a Young Artist award for Best Leading Young Actress in a Feature Film, as well as Blockbuster Entertainment and YoungStar award nominations.

After signing a three-movie contract with Disney, she returned to the small screen to star in the made-for-TV movies Life-Size (2000) (TV) (opposite Tyra Banks) and Get a Clue (2002) (TV) (opposite Bug Hall). She also appeared as Rose in the pilot episode of the short-lived comedy series "Bette" (2000), which starred Bette Midler.

In June 2001 Lohan took a brief hiatus from acting. Her music career was launched over a year later, when Estefan Enterprises made a five-album production deal with her in September 2002, and she signed a recording contract with the reactivated Casablanca Records.

However, Lohan was not turning her back on her blossoming acting career. Just over a month previously she had been cast opposite Jamie Lee Curtis for another Disney adaptation of a novel, this time a fantasy comedy by Mary Rodgers. Freaky Friday (2003), a remake of Freaky Friday (1976), was a huge hit (generating over $160 million in worldwide box office receipts) and critics were spellbound by delightful performances from Lohan and Curtis (who went on to receive a Golden Globe nomination for her work). In addition, Lohan won the 2004 MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Female, as well as a Saturn award nomination and another Young Artist award nomination.

Lohan relocated permanently to Los Angeles between projects and moved into an apartment with fellow actress Raven-Symoné. She also dated pop star Aaron Carter for a short time.

Her next acting role was the title character in the comedy Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004), a Disney adaptation of the novel by Dyan Sheldon. The film received scathing reviews upon its release and died a quick death at the box office, but even the harshest of critics were impressed by Lohan's charming turn as aspiring actress Lola.

Lohan's next project, Mean Girls (2004), saw her reunite with Freaky Friday (2003) director Mark Waters. Inspired by a non-fiction book by Rosalind Wiseman and written by "Saturday Night Live" (1975) scribe Tina Fey, the high-school comedy-drama opened to glowing reviews and grossed $86 million in the US. This earned her status as a bankable actress, and a salary of $7.5 million for the Donald Petrie romantic comedy Just My Luck (2006).

One of the most sought-after young actresses in the industry, she starred in Bobby (2006) (opposite Demi Moore and Sharon Stone), the Disney fantasy adventure Herbie Fully Loaded (2005) (a pseudo-sequel to The Love Bug (1968)) and the critically acclaimed A Prairie Home Companion (2006). On top of a thriving film career Lohan also launched a music career, releasing her debut album, "Speak," which hit shelves in December 2004.

In 2009 Lohan launched her own fashion line titled 6126, mainly focusing on the production of women's leggings. By spring she launched a self-tanning spray line titled "Sevin Nyne" and by the end of the year she became an artistic designer for fashion house Ungaro.

Biography  :
Born in Bridgend, South Wales. Attended Porthcawl Comprehensive School. Trained at Warwick University (BA in Drama and Theatre Studies) then actor training at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Television includes "Fat Friends" (2000) series I, II,III,IV, "Tales from Pleasure Beach" (2001) for BBC1, "Human Remains" (2000) for BBC2. "Nighty Night" (2004) for BBC2.

Film includes East Is East (1999), Emma (1996), Very Annie Mary (2001) and Heartlands (2002). Lives in Cardiff.

The 45-year-old actress, who admitted to the Mail she had tried a wide variety of diets in a desperate bid to slim down, said: ‘Health is really important to me. My uncle had a stroke and died last year, which was a bit of a wake-up call.’
She told Woman & Home magazine: ‘At certain points in life it’s easy not to think about what the consequences might be further down the road.
‘But I made an effort to lose weight because I think the problems of obesity are becoming more known now. I was 17 and a half stone. I stopped drinking five years ago, and I stopped smoking around three years ago, so the weight was the next thing.’
Most famous for playing feisty Welsh lass Nessa Jenkins in the BBC hit comedy she co-created with James Corden, Miss Jones added: ‘I’ve always been big but I just felt that it was getting to a really unhealthy level.
‘People have different attitudes if you’re in the public eye. They can say, ‘Yeah, good for her, she embraces her size,’ and you think, ‘Yeah, but it’s not healthy.’
Regardless of how it looks aesthetically, it’s not healthy to have a BMI as high as I did. I wasn’t able to move around.’
The star, whose new comedy Stella launches on Sky One tonight, told how her husband, TV producer David Peet – with whom she runs Tidy Productions - had also lost weight with her.
She said: ‘I’ve lost four and a half stone. The key thing was acceptance and patience – to accept it was going to take a couple of years.

'It’s not going to happen overnight. I wouldn’t judge anyone on how they lose weight, but the only way I was going to do it was to count calories. So I went down to 1,200-1,500 calories a day.
‘It was heartbreaking. There was literally a moment where I thought, ‘Oh my god, I’ve got to eat less food.’ It was more about the portion sizes than anything. I still have blowouts, but I got into the habit of counting calories. If I feel like it, I’ll still eat chocolate, but I’ll be thinking,
‘How many calories am I eating?’
‘I’ve still got a way to go – I’m still two or three stone overweight, according to the charts. I’m in this half-stone zone that I don’t move out of. I’m 13 stone and I’ll go up to 13.7 and back down again. It’s hard to go past it. My husband lost weight with me – again, for health reasons.
Now a size 16, Miss Jones said she did not ‘hide as much’ in baggy clothes.
The best compliment she had received, she said, came was when she was told she was a size 14 by a saleswoman in the Stella McCartney section in department store Selfridges, and laughed: ‘She was wrong, but it felt SO good!’
She said she tried to exercise, and turned to aerobics and running, but in the end realised: ‘walking a bit faster is better than not walking at all.’
