Bobby Brown

A few more details have been released regarding Whitney Houston's funeral on Saturday, and one is especially troubling for Bobby Brown.

First, though, we can confirm that gospel singer Marvin Winans - who officiated the 1992 wedding of Houston and Brown - will eulogize the legend at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, while New Jersey Governor Chris Christie says government building flags will fly at half-staff that day.

But will Brown even be in attendance at the memorial?

Insiders tell TMZ that certain members of Whitney's family do not want her ex-husband there, presumably due to his negative influence on Houston when they were married and the belief that he introduced her to a world of narcotics.

Bobby, of course, wants to pay his respects to Whitney and also wants to be there for daughter Bobbi Kristina, who is struggling mightily - she's been hospitalized twice for anxiety - with her mother's passing.

With Bobbi Kristina Brown out of the hospital, but with family members still concerned over her well-being, Bobby Brown has released his first public statement regarding his 18-year old daughter with Whitney Houston.

"My daughter did visit with doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles," said the singer, seen below touching down in Los Angeles to be there for his child.  "She has been released and is presently with my family, including her siblings." 

Bobbi was actually under physician supervision twice this weekend, first on Saturday and then on Sunday, both times in panic over her mom's passing.

"Obviously the death of her mother is affecting her," says Brown. "However we will get through this tragedy as a family."

Meanwhile, President Obama has also chimed in on the sad situation. Describing his boss as an "admirer" of Houston's "immense talent," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said this afternoon:

“I know that his thoughts and prayers are with her family, especially her daughter. It’s a tragedy to lose somebody so talented at such a young age.”

We have an update on Bobbi Kristina Brown.

The 18-year old daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, who was rushed to the hospital for two separate anxiety attacks since her mother passed away Saturday afternoon, is no longer under doctor's care.

But her family is still concerned about the teenager's well-being and is considering some kind of professional treatment for her.

In an eerie, frightening report, TMZ quotes insiders who say Bobbi was found asleep in a hotel room bathtub on Friday afternoon, the same position paramedics found Whitney in the following day.

After repeated, unanswered knocks from Bobbi's friends, security arrived, unlocked the door and helped fish the troubled young woman out of the tub.

It's unknown what caused that incident, but family members are, understandably, even more worried about Bobbi's current state of mind and fear she may be suicidal. As they ponder the next best step, Bobby Brown left a concert in Nashville over the weekend and landed in Los Angeles last night to be there for his daughter.

"Obviously the death of her mother is affecting her; however, we will get through this tragedy as a family," the singer said in a statement to Extra. "Again, I ask for privacy during this time.

According to the March 14 issue of The National Enquirer, Bobbi Kristina Brown is taking after the troublesome habits of her parents.

That tabloid has printed multiple photos of the 18-year old allegedly snorting a white substance, along with quotes from an ex-boyfriend who says: “Krissi is addicted to cocaine. I’ve tried to stop her, but all she said was, ‘I’m just like my mother!’"

Houston has reportedly battled drug problems for years. Her weight has dropped significantly and her concerts have been a disaster.

“Krissi has grown up seeing both her parents high on a regular basis," this former lover claims. “Whitney needs to see what her daughter is doing to herself. If Krissi doesn’t stop soon, this addiction to cocaine will kill her!”

In 2008, Bobbi Kristina was admitted to a psychiatric ward after she attempted to stab her mother. She then turned the blade on herself and tried to slit her own wrists.

In response to this tabloid story, Bobbi has Tweeted: The pictures_ a former very dear person to me did this. Set me up to make it look exactly what it looks like. God will smite them yes..But it's really not what it looks like.. People will do anything for money which is extremely sad, and I'm very hurt by this.

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!

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has put Bobby Brown on notice.

The next time the R&B singer and renowned deadbeat sets foot in the cradle of the American Revolution, he could be walking straight into a jail cell.

A judge just issued a warrant for the jackass' arrest after he failed to appear in court, reportedly for flaking out on child support payments. Again.

According to the Boston Herald, Brown hasn't forked over $45,000 in child support payments for the two teenage children he had with Kim Ward.

Hopefully Scott Disick is paying attention.

Bobby Brown is staring at another mug shot in Massachusetts.

Brown is required to pay $5,000 in child support per month for the kids, Bobby Jr. and Laprincia, who live with his ex-girlfriend Ward in Stoughton, Mass.

It's not the first time Brown has been in hot water for being a serial deadbeat - dude spent four days in the slammer in 2007 for missing child support.

Not to be deterred, Brown welcomed his fifth child in June. The mother is Bobby Brown’s longtime girlfriend and sometime manager Alicia Etheridge.

He also has a 16-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina Houston-Brown, with his former wife, musical collaborator and punching bag Whitney Houston.

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.

Don't cry for Ray J.

While his ex-girlfriend and sex tape costar Kim Kardashian has moved on with Reggie Bush, Brandy's little brother is doing alright for himself: he's having sex with Whitney Houston and taunting Bobby Brown about it.

In Ray J's album "All I Feel" (we'll give you a moment to digest the fact that Ray J has made an album), he sings the song "Boyfriend." In it, there are clear lyrics directed at Houston's ex-husband:

Is that your wife, is that your shorty, well I'm her boyfriend... I think the problem is you don't beat it right... Making love is cool, just pull her hair sometimes.

As you can see, Ray J makes up for a lack of a rhyme scheme with words of wisdom from which we all can learn.

Sorry, Megan Fox. I'll pull your hair next time.

It looks like the prerogative of Bobby Brown is to snort cocaine.

Unfortunately for this washed up singer and father, Massachusetts police aren't cool with that.

The ex-husband of Whitney Houston will appear in in a Boston area court on February 19 for a closed-door clerk's hearing on whether he should be charged with possession of cocaine or not.

The show-cause hearing stems from an incident in Brockton, MA on December 1 when authorities were called to a hotel for a report of a disturbance.

According to state police spokesman Sgt. Robert Bousquet, when state police arrived at the hotel, troopers spoke with Brown. Allegedly, drugs were confiscated on the scene and the singer actually asked the trooper if he could "use discretion" and not charge him.

Shockingly, the cop did not comply.
