NICK GORDON: Paid $40,000 for Graveside Photos

He may have been crying at the cemetery but he was laughing all the way to the bank -- that's because when Nick Gordon visited Bobbi Kristina Brown's grave, he was also getting paid.

Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend -- who was banned from the funeral by Bobby Brown -- allegedly got $40,000 from the National Enquirer for photos and video of his visit to the grave site.

But Nick agreed to provide pictures for the tabloid not just for personal gain. Sources say he needs the money for a “legal defense fund” so he can pay off top lawyers like Casey Anthony’s former attorney, Jose Baez. (Page Six)

Nick Gordon isn’t the only one who should be ashamed -- the National Enquirer shouldn’t be seeking out the pictures in the first place.

Considering he allegedly killed his girlfriend to get a piece of her fortune, this shouldn't be a huge surprise.
