Alicia Etheridge

Bobby Brown got engaged to Alicia Etheridge. Yes, we're serious, and yes, we're probably as surprised as you. What a life he must have offered her.

The 41-year-old singer popped the question to girlfriend Alicia Etheridge Friday during a performance at Metro Park's Funk Fest in Jacksonville, Fla.

According to the Florida-Times Union, Etheridge walked on stage with their 11-month-old son and his prerogative was to get down on one knee.

Brown proposed with ring in hand. What a romantic.

Alicia Etheridge will be the new Mrs. Bobby Brown.

Brown and manager-fiancé Etheridge began dating nearly three years ago, after Whitney Houston ended her tumultuous 15-year-marriage with him.

Somehow, the end of that union and the fact that Bobby Brown has been jailed several times for not providing for his own offspring didn't deter Alicia.

Looks like the once-popular singer ready for a new edition of wedding vows ... and drug use, possible domestic violence, and flaking on child support.

Have fun, Alicia!

With every little step he takes, Bobby Brown knocks up another girlfriend.

This time, the honor fell to Alicia Etheridge, who gave birth to Brown's fifth child a few days ago.

"I just had a little baby boy!" Brown said during a performance at the Rok nightclub in the New York New York Hotel last night. "His name is Cassius... he was born four days ago."

Brown broke up with Whitney Houston in 2006. They have one daughter, 15-year-old Bobbi Kristina.

Meanwhile, the singer's prerogative has been to impregnante other females, as well. He has three children from previous relationships: Landon, LaPrincia and Bobby Jr.

Anyone out there wanna purchase a box of condoms for Bobby?

In a few months, Bobby Brown will be able to field a basketball team with his set of children.

The singer and longtime girlfriend Alicia Etheridge are expecting a baby, Brown's agent Ravi Dabiesingh told Us Weekly. It will be the fifth for the singer.

"Yes, Bobby is expecting his fifth child from Alicia," Dabiesingh said. "There aren't too many details out there right now, but we do know he is very excited, as Bobby is big on family. The sex of the baby is not known yet, and we can confirm she is four months along."

Brown split with Whitney Houston in 2006. They have one daughter, 15-year-old Bobbi Kristina. He also has a trio of kids from other relationships: Landon, LaPrincia and Bobby Jr.

Bobby Brown, whose divorce from Whitney Houston became final in April, is back to his old ways.

No, actually we don't mean not paying child support.

We're talking about him macking on the ladies!

"I'm dating, so it's not like I'm single," Brown, 40, told People at Stereo by the Shore in Southampton, N.Y. on Saturday.

How profound. Thank you, Bobby Brown. In related news, Britney Spears is, like, at rock bottom, y'all, so it's not like she's on cloud nine.

Asked whom he was dating, the frequently-jailed "My Prerogative" singer replied, "My friend," and looked over at the woman holding his hand.

And it wasn't Karrine Steffans holding his hand, people.

A source at the club identified Brown's companion as Alicia Etheridge. A second source close to the singer confirmed to People that he is indeed dating Etheridge.

Alicia Etheridge's claim to fame, besides combining the names of other famous people Melissa Etheridge and Alicia Silverstone, is being past president of the M. Gray Music Academy, Macy Gray's after-school music program.

"They were kissing in the car," says a source who observed the cute couple before they headed into the club, where besides his signature song, Bobby Brown also performed "Every Little Step."

The pair - who apparently got together this month, a source says - stayed at the event until 3 a.m. and did in the club what they were doing in the car: kissing.

Gross as this is, it's a lot better than what Lindsay Lohan does in the car. We're talking about drinking and drugs!
