The couple, who already have a 3 year-old son together, have been engaged since 2010, when Bobby popped the question while onstage at a New Edition show in Jacksonville. Bobby has credited Alicia with helping him stay sober (most of the time) and get his career back on track (such as it is).

As for Bobbi Kristina's absence from the ceremony, sources say Bobbi and Bobby are simply "not on good terms right now." Brown's other children were all on hand.

Congrats to the happy couple. As a wedding present, we'll overlook Bobby's red suit and Adidas sneakers.

Bobby Brown Arrested for DUI!

by on

Bobby Brown was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Cops pulled him over for driving while talking on a cell phone and discovered that he wasn’t sober, allegedly. Bobby, 43, has already been arrested for a DUI. He was also arrested for battery in 2003 and again for a parole violation in 2004.

Brown is currently in custody in a Van Nuys jail. Welp, Bobby has been a f*ck up his entire life. No reason to stop now!

Bobbi Kristina Brown Changing Her Name to Kristina Houston!

by on

Bobby Kristina would avoid Bobby Brown like the plague on his reality show "Being Bobby Brown," so it comes as no surprise that she wants to legally distance herself from her dad. Bobbi Kristina Brown wants to drop her first and last name and simply go by "Kristina Houston."

Bobbi K has wanted the name change ever since her parents got divorced, but Whitney wouldn't allow it.

Now that Whitney is no longer able to stand in her way, Bobbi Kristina is getting serious. It remains unclear when she plans to make the change official… Good for Bobbi, but, uh, I don't think people will stop calling her Bobbi Kristina Brown! Sucks when you're famous.

Bobby Brown’s Sister: Whitney Houston Death Was “Not Accidental,” Bobbi Kristina Is “Not Safe”

by on

The problem with trying to figure out the truth behind the death of Whitney Houston is that the singer had been famous for so long that she attracted plenty of the wrong kinds of people, but she had also been flying low on the radar as of late so we don't know who the good and bad influences in life were in her final years.

Bobby Brown's sister gave an interview yesterday in which she claimed that she and Whitney were so close they referred to one another as "soul sisters" (again, we have no way of knowing if that's true) and that she's as devastated by the loss as anyone in Whitney's immediate family. Okay, well it's nice that she was able to speak publicly about her grief…but then she keeps talking…

"I believe Whitney’s death was not accidental. No," Leola Brown said in an interview with Access Hollywood. She added that she couldn't provide details on her conspiracy theory, as he attorney had urged her not to.

Leola then cautioned Bobbi Kristina Brown that she is "not safe" and should trust no one but her father, grandmother and, of course, Leola. As the topping on the crazy sundae, Leola concludes by saying, "Bobby has nothing, nothing at all to do with Whitney’s death. [Whitney's] father said he was tired of people talking about his son-in-law. He said Bobby had nothin’ to do with Whitney doing drugs in the past or whatever."

Again, we knew nothing about this woman until today, but everything about her screams shady. Why did she hire a lawyer other than to grab a piece of the estate? Oh, and she really expects us to believe that Whitney's parents were just sick to death of people trashing Bobby Brown? Please.

Bobby Brown: Whitney Houston Tell-All In The Works?

by on

According to reports, Bobby Brown was planning to write a tell-all memoir about his relationship with Whitney Houston several years ago. As Whitney had been flying under the radar for a few years and Bobby wasn’t exactly a beloved cultural figure, no one was buying. Not surprisingly, the tables have turned in the wake of Whitney’s much-publicized death and Brown now finds himself fielding offers from a number of publishing houses.

“The market has changed,” an insider close to the situation tells Huffington Post. “Now is the time for a book that details an honest look into the life of Whitney.” Whether or not Brown is the man to provide that “honest look” is a matter for debate, but rest assured that the former star will put in his two cents (and be well-compensated for doing so) some time in the near future.

Naturally, many of Whitney’s closest friends are less than pleased with the idea of a Bobby-penned tell-all. “This is a man who left his ex-wife’s funeral because he didn’t like his seats and went to a paying gig that night,” said one friend, who went on to compare Bobby playing a concert the night of the funeral with him writing a book so soon after his ex-wife’s death. Hopefully, Brown will wait a while before releasing the book out of respect for the grieving, but since he’s likely to be accused of exploitation no matter what he does, he may as well tell his side eventually.

Bobbi Kristina: Drunk at Whitney Houston Burial?

by on

Years ago Bobbi Kristina was photographed snorting something and photos of her smoking went viral. Today, Bobbi continues to find herself in the middle of substance abuse rumors. Bobbi disappeared immediately following her mother's emotional funeral service on Saturday.

Radar reports: "Bobbi Kristina didn't want to be at the burial, and she looked wasted. Krissy's eyes were glassy, and she seemed to be very disconnected from the service. Krissy hasn't been eating or sleeping."

Bobby Brown wants Bobbi Kristina in rehab. Meanwhile, the Houstons reportedly "feel absolutely powerless to do anything" because Bobbi is a grown adult and they don't want to drive her away from them. So sad! Get better Krissy.

Bobby Brown Leaves Whitney’s Funeral, Media Determined to Destroy Him

by on

Bobby Brown left Whitney Houston’s funeral around 20 minutes after it began. Days before the funeral, there were reports that Bobby wasn’t invited to attend. Days after the funeral, media outlets are having a field day talking about how Bobby was partying the day after Whitney’s memorial. It never ends.

Bobby Brown's kids

Brown issued a statement saying that he and his children were invited to Houston’s funeral and “were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions. I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no one else to move.”

Brown had an entourage of nine people, which his statement doesn’t mention.

Bobby said that security prevented him from seeing Bobbi Kristina.

 

“In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene. My children are completely distraught over the events. This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur.” He concluded: “I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.”

This is bullsh!t. Whitney’s family needs to get over themselves but it doesn’t sound like they will any time soon. Whitney would have wanted her ex-husband to be there. Sad!

Bobby Brown: Not Allowed To Contact Bobbi Kristina?

by on

Well, it was bound to happen. The fight over Whitney Houston's estate has begun, and sadly, 18 year-old Bobbi Kristina is caught in the middle.

TMZ reports that Whitney's family has stepped in to prevent Bobby Brown from contacting his daughter, as they believe he is only after Whitney's fortune, estimated to be worth $20 million.  Whitney's mother, Cissy Houston, believes that Bobby is broke and planning on exploiting his daughter's affection to secure a chunk of her inheritance. Because of interference from Cissy, Bobby reportedly didn't see his daughter for more than three days following Whitney's death.

I'm not sure who to side with here. Judging from Bobby's past, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out he was exploiting this tragedy to line his pockets, but at the same time it's hard to imagine keeping a daughter from seeing her father in the days following her mother's death. It's an ugly situation and it's a shame that Bobbi Kristina's already fragile mental state has to be tested this way.
