Nothing is off limits to Joan Rivers, who's gleefully pushed the boundaries with her comedy for decades, but a joke about the late Whitney Houston in Rivers' new book is still raising some eyebrows.

The book, 'I Hate Everyone' Starting With Me,' includes a section on travel, in which 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.)'

Rivers has argued that celebrities are fair game for outrageous jokes in both life and death.

  • Death isnt something to be treated as a joke. Whitney has accomplished twice as much as Rivers, so is she really in a position to be criticizing her?? Plus, that was downright rude.
