Joan Rivers’ New Book Has Crass Jokes Regarding Whitney Houston’s Death

Why can’t people just let Whitney R.I.P.???

Comedian Joan Rivers is taking some heat for two Whitney Houston jokes that reportedly appear in her upcoming book, “I Hate Everyone … Starting With Me.” The Village Voice reports that in a section on travel, Rivers writes: “I hate Houston … it’s crawling with bugs. Oh, wait, that’s Whitney Houston; I’m sorry, my bad. (Can I just mention that Whitney looked fabulous at the Grammys? She was in mahogany from head to toe.)”

Houston, 48, was found dead in her Beverly Hills, Calif. hotel bathtub on Feb. 11, the day before the Grammys. The jokes shouldn’t be a surprise to those who read the book’s description on the website of publisher Penguin, which reads, “uncensored and totally uninhibited (Rivers gives) the best of her worst to First Ladies, closet cases, hypocrites, Hollywood, feminists, and overrated historical figures,” and goes on to call the book an “honest, unabashedly hilarious love letter to the hater in all of us.”

Also in February, Rivers was criticized by some for snarky remarks she made about Houston’s wardrobe on the E! show “Fashion Police.” According to Women’s Wear Daily, Rivers said, “Am I sorry (Houston) died? Of course I am, for God’s sake.” She also said “If Angelina Jolie died tomorrow, I would still say she was anorexic.”

After Houston’s death, Rivers tweeted, “Whitney Houston. What a sad tragedy — the end of the life of an incredible talent. RIP to an amazing singer and legend.”

Rivers’ book will be published June 5.

What do y’all think…is Joan Rivers doing the most??
