Cement deal for Whitney

Here’s one way to cement Whitney Houston’s legacy: The pop diva’s family plans to encase her body in concrete — so that no one is tempted to rob the grave.

The is $800,000 in jewels in Houston’s casket, and the singer’s family can’t afford 24-hour security to guard against ghoulish thieves, according to the newspaper The Daily Star.

The British tabloid didn’t say when Houston’s family would dig up Whitney’s New Jersey grave and pour the cement.

Ex-husband Bobby Brown, in his first interview since Houston’s death, refused to take the fall for her drug-fueled troubles.

The “Greatest Love of All” songstress drowned in a hotel bathtub on Feb. 11 with cocaine in her system — but Brown said it was not his fault that Houston struggled with addictions.

“I didn’t get high before I met Whitney,” Brown told NBC’s “Today” in an interview to air tomorrow and Thursday.
