Earlier this week, Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away , six months after she was found unconscious in the bathtub of her Atlanta-area home. Bobbi Kristina’s funeral has been scheduled for Monday, but it seems that even though she’s finally at rest, the controversy surrounding the troubled 22-year-old is far from over. Earlier today, we reported that Nick Gordon is begging Bobby Brown to allow him to attend the funeral . Now, it seems other people in Bobbi Kristina’s life are threatening to skip the ceremony due to bizarre arrangements being made by Whitney Houston’s sister-in-law, Pat Houston. Radar Online is reporting that Pat is planning a “sweet 16-themed” funeral , and several friends and family members have already expressed their disapproval of the idea. Sources say famed singer and family friend Dionne Warwick has been the most vocal critic, even going so far as to tell Pat that she refuses to attend a funeral with such a macabre theme. “Dionne is planning a trip and threatening to not attend the funeral,” says one insider. “Pat Houston is taking over even though she should be making decisions with Bobby, and not doing it on her own.” Warwick has reportedly slammed the idea as “stupid and disrespectful to Bobbi Kristina,” but sources say Pat is insisting on the theme due to a conversation she once had with Krissi, in which the deceased daughter of Whitney expressed her regret over never having a traditional sweet 16 party. We’ll find out on Monday if Pat had her way, or if the many critics of the idea were able to talk her into a more traditional ceremony.

A veteran 19 Kids and Counting staff member was arrested for possession of sick child pornography and sent to prison, according to a new report. Before the Josh Duggar molestation scandal broke and ultimately led to the TLC show’s demise, William Blankinship, 60, was arrested. He was charged with 10 felony counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a child in 2011, and Radar has the revolting details . Blankinship, who worked on the disgraced Duggar family’s series, took a plea deal to serve 2-3 years and prison plus probation. He was also ordered to complete a sex offender program, register as a sex offender, and avoid children under the age of 16. Blankinship worked closely on other TLC reality shows involving children, such as Jon & Kate Plus 8 , during its ratings heyday. He also briefly worked as an editor on former TLC series Table For 12 , featuring a family of sextuplets and two sets of twins. Josh Duggar was accused in police reports of fondling five minor females, including four of his younger sisters, in 2002-03. TLC canceled 19 Kids and Counting two months after the secret reports leaked, as the family’s image never recovered.
