In the heartbreaking competition to be the saddest aspect of this whole thing, the imbecilic idea that female vocalists should always look like supermodels slightly edges out the profoundly tragic likelihood that Whitney believes this is a plausible representation of herself. In third place: the body's real owner probably has this in her portfolio.
Edit: Yes, it's a hoax.
Thanks to Jake! More discussion here.

Jesus! What a steaming pile of disaster she is!
gosh, she must feel even more like crap after seeing the ad...
the depressions of ps
it's naomi campbell

Good find, John. But I have a feeling that Cosmo already knew about Naomi. Pretty sad.
Didn't we already decide this was just someone fooling around with a Naomi Campbell picture and Photoshop? I very much doubt this had anything to do with Whitney Houston at all.
At the risk of being irritating (what, me?) I point you all to this article:
http://www.hiphoprx.com/2008/11/14/whitney-houston-undefeated-album-cover-a-photoshop-imposter/
Which confirms this was some 'net hoax. Although I still swear this picture was posted here before, right around the 11th or 12th, and we already figured out it was a hoax back then. What's up, PsD? Revisionist history?
That's so... sad.
Man, if John hadn't pointed out this was Naomi Campbell's body, I would have said:
The irony is that the body they used is Tina Turner.
To those who are saying this has been posted before: I believe you are confusing it with the Brittney Spears record cover hoax.
This strikes me as terribly sad and pathetic.
:S
Here's another account of the photoshop job

For once the voice and body will match!
More and more pop music seems to be using faked/synthed/unreal/unreproduceable voices. Long live rock!
Does W still have a voice? Or did Mistah Brown smoke it along with her self esteem, dignity, youth and sobriety?
Yes, a Whitney Houston fan made this.
Yes, it is lame.
Not as lame as believing it is the official cover though!
Bad, bad detective work.
can't resist...
Houston, we have a problem
So if I make my own album cover on photoshop you'll post it on this blog?? PsD fails once again.
Oopsie.
I don't agree with this as a disaster at all. On the contrary, this is a very well executed Photoshop. She is gorgeous, even though she does not exist. Like every Playboy centerfold. Are you so desperate that you will include EVERY Playmate of the Month as well? If a Photoshop is well done, it does not matter what the starting material was, does it? She has all her fingers, right?
Not bad work but the fact that it's someone esle's body is the disaster, my god people.
I think this proves how much this blog is been sucking lately... too bad.
I don't understand why you've left this entry in the blog. I see you edited it to include the admission that it's a hoax, but surely you're not that desperate for posts that you want to leave this piece of misinformation mouldering away here? Isn't this meant to be a blog about bad Photoshop work in the professional world?
Yeah give poor Doubleclick his money back!! What a rip off! We're all deeply offended and we are going to cry!! WAAAA! WAAAA! WAAAAAAAA!
Whitney said it herself when she sang "I'm every women."
That was her song right?
I am Jacks utter scepticism.
she's trying to show up britney spears' photoshopped images
Why do you post a hoax? Everyone just looking over the pictures will think that the artist was trying to reveal its true appearance, bringing a bad light an that person, not on the "fan" that did it!
