Bobby Brown Arrested

Musician BOBBY BROWN, husband of WHITNEY HOUSTON, was arrested in Webster, MA Friday night on an outstanding warrant for alleged motor vehicle violations stemming from 1992. The Boston native, 37, was in town to attend his daughter's cheerleading tournament. According to the Webster police chief, the 14-year-old warrant was issued for alleged unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and an uninsured motor vehicle trailer. Brown was detained for about an hour, after which he was released on 40-dollars bond. A former member of NEW EDITION and a solo artist known for such hits as "Don't Be Cruel" and "My Prerogative," Brown has been married to Houston since 1992; the couple lives in Georgia. He has one child with Houston, and two children with KIM WARD of Massachusetts.

Letoya Luckett, formerly of Destiny Child, embarks on a solo career to fulfill her destiny of stardom. Most are anxious to see what she has to offer since fans mainly saw her as just another pretty face in a girl group. After joining another girl group and seeing her dreams fall through once again, Letoya stayed persistent in wanting a career in music. She stayed working with her vocal coach and pitched solo material to Capitol Records where she was eventually signed. Since then Letoya has had various teaser tracks released to get a feel of what fans were wanting. Her first track You Got What I Need did very well on the mixtape circuit and got great responses from fans and radio DJ's. All Eyes on Me, which was the rumored first single, features Houston's finest Paul Wall and Slim Thug on one of the most mesmerizing tracks heard in the last part of 2005. It's receiving heavy rotation in the Houston area as well as growing buzz in other markets. After what I've heard so far she has great potential to have a good career in music.

Little Brother had one of the most anticipated underground hip-hop albums of the last quarter of 2005. This North Carolina trio is already making a name for themselves for creating a movement to cleanse hip-hop of its commercial status and return it to its roots. With a melting pot of talent, their musical ingredients feature a dash of De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and the Roots. Not to mention Little Brother adds their own unique southern flavor to stand out from other southern hip-hop groups. Fans and those music reviewers who know good hip-hop when they see it have critically acclaimed their latest release, The Minstrel Show. Their new video Quiet has been in heavy rotation on MTV2 and along with the release, the single is expected to dominate the airwaves with it's exposure semi-mainstream crowd.

以渾厚嗓音與甜美笑容於80年代大紅的黑人天后惠妮休士頓，其實正是早期名模轉戰歌壇的開路先鋒。惠妮休士頓的媽媽及表姊，都是紅透半邊天的藍調福音歌手，她自己也從12歲開始，就在舞台上幫媽媽唱合音，15歲就有唱片公司捧著合約要她出唱片，但惠妮休士頓的父母堅持要她完成高中學業後，才能踏入社會工作。

在推出第一張同名專輯之前，惠妮休士頓卻轉了個彎，當了6年的模特兒。18歲起，她就靠著漂亮的臉蛋、高身兆的身材，在模特兒界闖出一番名號，薪水年年水漲船高。聰明的惠妮休士頓更選在24歲的模特兒巔峰時代，回到老本行當起歌手，果然一炮而紅，成為80年代末、90年代最具代表性的女歌手之一。

惠妮休斯頓和巴比布朗這對「難夫難妻」不怕把家醜搬上螢幕，果然如他們所願，當選「好萊塢十大邋遢伴侶」第一名，今年「出盡鋒頭」的湯姆克魯斯和凱蒂荷姆斯也不賴，拿下亞軍。

惠妮和巴比主演實境影集「巴比布朗」，把家居生活秀給觀眾看，最大的賣點就是婚姻中種種不快細節，想不到觀眾也喜歡名人自曝其短，收視率還不賴，因為這層關係，過氣的惠妮和巴比才會「榮登」美國「明星週刊」票選的十大邋遢配偶第一名。

至於稱得上郎才女貌的阿湯哥和凱蒂會高居第二名，大半要拜阿湯哥在戀情發展之初，種種脫軌行徑，如上談話節目在沙發跳上跳下，高舉雙臂告訴全世界他有多愛凱蒂，後來在巴黎艾菲爾鐵塔訂婚，未婚懷孕等都令人印象深刻；第三名是布蘭妮和凱文費德勒這對「寶貝」夫妻，布蘭妮婚後不顧形象，猛吃爆肥，還大方給狗仔拍照，凱文不務正業，常傳出負面新聞，難怪會高居第三名。

Thank you for visiting us online at www.kingsknightpub.ca. As for your question, there seems to be a small communication error.

今年惡搞了一個暑假的 Being Bobby Brown 又回來了，這次是應景的一集 - "Christmas with the Browns" 內容將包括惠妮巴比採買年貨、煮年菜、裝飾耶誕樹等等。雖然內容聽起來頗無聊，但這集仍舊可看性十足，因為據傳聞，這是最近才拍攝的畫面，可以看到惠妮最近期的模樣。

如果你還有印象，或是下載看過 Being Bobby Brown ，一定對惠妮瘋瘋癲癲的行徑和沙啞的聲音印象深刻，不過那些都是2004年的她，2005年至今我們只看過她兩次： 一次是抱小狗在紐約街頭，另一次是 BET 25 Strong 的全新金髮 Look，終於在2005年結束前，我們還有一次機會看看最近的她，希望不要太 shock 才好！

不知道該怎麼評論 Being Bobby Brown 這齣 Reality Show，從歌迷的角度，能看到惠妮私下的模樣和她搞笑的一面是一件好事沒錯 (因為我們連她公開的樣子都很少見到)， 但整體而言，我認為 Being Bobby Brown 對她受創的事業來說真的只是在傷口灑鹽。

想想看，如果你是一個有sense的經紀人，基於什麼理由你會讓你旗下的藝人接拍 Reality Show？
我提幾個好了：

 

On today's Oprah show, Jamie Foxx is the guest and he talked about how he had Bobby & Whitney sing karaoke at a recent party.

Jamie is known for his Hollywood parties, but he says his get-togethers aren't quite what the crowd might be expecting. "Puffy throws a party and it costs $2 million," Jamie says. "What I told Puff was, 'Puff, I throw great parties, too. They don't cost that much!'" According to Jamie, a great party takes less than $500!

One important part of any party is the food and refreshments. "We get fried chicken, but we put it in a nice bowl," Jamie says. "And we've got cola and everything like that." Also, make sure the guest list includes "pretty people from the opposite sex."

ART ON THE FLY

BY BILL ZWECKER SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST

去歐洲度假的Chicago Sun-Times專欄作家比爾，昨天偶然在法國一家餐廳外頭遇見惠妮，根據他的觀察惠妮看起來十分健康快樂，就像他十年前所認識的美少女惠妮，讓幸運的比爾直呼不可思議！他只希望所看到的不是幻覺。 

HEALTHY-LOOKING HOUSTON: I didn't give her a blood test and didn't even chat with her, but Whitney Houston sure looked terrific when I spied her exiting the beach restaurant of the Carlton Hotel in Cannes on the French Riviera the other day. The diva, joined by two of the world's largest bodyguards and a woman friend, followed her husband, Bobby Brown, out of the chic cafe. The superstar was obviously in a happy mood, appeared clear-eyed and healthy -- and it made me smile seeing her look like the beautiful Whitney from a decade ago.

Let's hope that looks in this case were not deceiving.

 
(這件me t-shirt是惠妮去看Beyonce演唱會時買的，後面還印 Beyonce的名字)

原本只有八集的庇蔭巴比布朗因為收視率居高不下，Bravo TV趁勝追加兩集，其中一集會帶大家深入惠妮在Atlanta和New Jersey的老家，另一集則會有一些never before seen片段。加集我是很高興啦，但是我下下星期就回台灣了，加的兩集完全錄不到！氣到!!!
