So why has Rebbie been married to a sucessful Black man for so long ?


When Jan was seventeen, she did what people told her. She did what her father said, and let her mother mold her.

I always thought they had a co-dependent relationship from jump. Feeding off each other's issues. And I see Bobby is still an opportunist.

I feel sorry for their kids.


I was thinking the same thing. It's already sad enough those kids had to grow up around all that craziness and be subject to the hostility of the media and public opinion. How he would go and write a tell-all which will clearly detail the dysfunction of their environment...for these kids to have to endure all over again publically...that mess is not cool at all disbelief



I remember when they had that reality show...I was so embarrassed for them I couldn't sit through the whole thing.
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

Bobby Brown claims he once dated Janet

Promotional materials for Bobby Brown's new autobiography are claiming that the R&B singer once dated Janet, an MTV.com article is reporting.

Janet has never publicy stated whether or not she actually ever dated him. The autobiography, Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But, is due in stores next month.

UPDATE: The YBF has this exclusive quote about Janet from Brown's autobiography:


"The way our relationship ended kind of broke my heart. I was telling her that I loved her and wanted her to leave the guy she was with at the time. She told me she couldn't and that her family wouldn't allow her to be with a black man. This really shocked me so I backed off."

First off, The Debarges are BLACK. Their mother is black and their father is white so what the hell is Bobby talking about? lol.

April 3, 2008 -- WITH an ex-husband like Bobby Brown, Whitney Houston doesn't need enemies.

In his upcoming autobiography, Brown blows the lid on his wildly dysfunctional marriage to the troubled, Grammy-winning diva, suggesting that she drove him into a nightmare of drug addiction.

"I never used cocaine until after I met Whitney. Before then, I had experimented with other drugs, but marijuana was my drug of choice," Brown writes in "Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But," out next month. "At one point in my life, I used drugs uncontrollably. I was using everything I could get my hands on, from cocaine to heroin, weed and cooked cocaine."

As far as his 15-year marriage to Houston is concerned, it "was doomed from the very beginning. Within the first year we separated, with several more to follow," Brown writes. "I think we got married for all the wrong reasons. Now, I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married . . . I believe her agenda was to clean up her image, while mine was to be loved and have children."

Whitney, he alleges, had been under "a lot of pressure. The media was accusing her of having a bisexual relationship with her assistant, Robin Crawford. Since she was the American Sweetheart and all, that didn't go too well with her image . . . In Whitney's situation, the only solution was to get married and have kids. That would kill all speculation, whether it was true or not. In the short, I think I got caught up in the politics and ended up marrying one of the biggest stars in the world."

But Brown notes that he was no saint in their relationship, confessing in his book, "I am guilty of sleeping with other women . . . Women are always throwing themselves at you. I'm only human, so I would make the mistake and bite the hook sometimes . . . I let the testosterone take over."

One of his most public indiscretions was an affair with former exotic dancer Karrine "Superhead" Steffans. "Yes, I've slept with her," he confesses. "Yes, I've spent several nights at her house. But she was only good for what her nickname stood for."

Reps for Houston, who divorced Brown a year ago, did not return our call for comment.

Hell, I can believe that he didn't get on crack until he got with her. Hell, I'd turn to crack too if I had to listen to her sing around the house on a daily basis. At least you can turn the radio off but he's got her tired ass in the same house with him. You can't turn that mouth of her's off when she's there in person.

I'd also turn to crack also if I had to sleep with her. I'd choose the crack that you smoke any day over that funky ass crack between her legs. That's the only thing funky about her. I'm surprised he didn't turn to men after sleeping with her because if that's pussy, dick has got to be better. lol

As much as I love Whitney, I never bought it when people said that Bobby was the one who got her hooked on drugs and never thought it was fair how people always blamed him for her troubles. I think Whitney's drug habit started long before she met Bobby.


Of course it did.

Whitney's self-esteem was affected badly by the way Clive Davis was trying too damn hard to weaken her blackness (musically speaking) in the name of crossover pop success.

That's more than enough to make any dark-skinned sista do drugs to ease the pain.
sad

Before Jermaine Dupri enter her life, when was the last time (if ever) Janet ever dated a dark-skinned brotha?!?

Maybe Bobby was dropping hints when he said "that quote".

When Janet sings these lyrics, is it about Bobby Brown or James DeBarge?

What about the times you lied to me?
What about the times you said no one would want me?
What about all the shit you've done to me?
What about that, what about that?

What about the times you yelled at me?
What about the times I cried? You wouldn't even hold me
What about those things?
What about that, what about that?

What about the times you hit my face?
What about the times you kept on when I said, "No more please"
What about those things?
What about that, what about that?

What about the times you shamed to me?
What about the times when you said you didn't fuck her?
She only gave you head
What about that, what about that?

I used to think JAMES then I read this lyric:
"He kissed me and said
'I wanna spend my life with you
I want you for my wife...'"


And James and Janet agreed to elope...of course after finding herself trying to get James out of crack houses allegedly (according to sources including La Toya, who also dated a DeBarge brother - Bobby), she decided to annul it but still...

I think it could very well be Bad Boy Bobby Brown...then again how long were they together? Since Janet said the album was very personal.

cool Bobby needs cash. If this book is going to help him make some... then hey why not blab about his marriage, druggin, & other woman. Whitney is no saint. I do think she was using as much as him. I also do believe he was not the one to get her hooked. The problem was the marriage should have ended sooner. Maybe they both would still be selling records. cool

but wait a minute- when she was on oprah with eddie (nuuty proff. promo) - were they not both trying to hint that she was fooling around with Johnny- or was eddie trying to save his ass? I know for a fact Johnny stalked Janet every since Fame- or maybe he was stalking Rene-

It's obvious to me that this loser is in dire need of money, so he writes a tell all book mad . How pathetic. I'd rather read the National Enquirer than garbage like this. I do believe that Whitney has had drug problems and she's far from innocent in the demise of their marriage, but to write a tell all book after a marriage breaks up just screams LOSER to me.


loser if u need money?
come on

New York Post. Always accurate. Howard Stern reads a lot of their headlines and it seems like 90% of that "newspaper" is tabloids (and sometimes specifically, celebrity bashing...it is owned by Murdoch who hates liberals).

I love Bobby Brown being the victim in all this...He was so innocent. Hilarious!

Whitney Responds to Bobby Brown's Tell-All Book


Whitney's rep responded in a statement to PEOPLE: "Miss Houston is sad that Bobby feels he need to say such things but she choses to take the high road and will not speak badly about the father of her child even if it's to set the record straight."

After his 1992 marriage, the former Being Bobby Brown star says his dependence on narcotics spiraled out of control. "At one point in my life, I used drugs uncontrollably. I was using everything I could get my hands on, from cocaine to heroin, weed and cooked cocaine," he writes.

Brown also describes his 14-year marriage as "doomed from the very beginning." "I think we got married for all the wrong reasons," he says in the book. "Now, I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married ... I believe her agenda was to clean up her image."

The couple, who have a 15-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina, split in September 2006.

One potential stress on their union? Brown's now-admitted infidelity.

"Women are always throwing themselves at you," he writes. "I'm only human, so I would make the mistake and bite the hook sometimes. I let the testosterone take over."

Brown also claims to have dated Janet Jackson and Madonna before hooking up with Houston. Chapter titles from the book include "Whitney Houston – The Untold Truth," "The Press, More Problems, and Passion for Drugs," and "The Bad Boy Of Boston ... Straight From The Hood."

Bobby Brown Dated Madonna

Bobby Brown has a new book to promote so he's been on a rampage name dropping and outing people.

In his new tell-all book Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But..., Brown insists that he had been with "half the industry," which included Madonna.

He writes, "By the time I reached my third single on the Don't Be Cruel album, I was one of the biggest stars in the world. You know what that means. With success comes the women! A wise man once told me that. At this time, "I probably had dated half of the industry, including Madonna."

"I met Madonna early in my career. She used to open up shows for New Edition in New York at the beginning of her career, so running back into her and getting to know her better at the height of my success was like a reunion. The list goes on from the who's who to the flavor of the month."

Now that’s an odd pairing! Madonna is super health conscious while Bobby is all about being a crackhead. Whatever the case was, we're just glad it didn't work out. Bobby and Whitney were always our favorite junkie couple.

Bobby claims that Janet drove him to drink heavily

Here's another Bobby quote:

Before I met Janet I would never drink hard liquor, I only drank beer. But after our break up, I started drinking hard liquor abundantly.

I took the way our relationship ended very hard. Not to say we were head over heels in love, but she was someone I had a lot of feelings for. Besides, we were young and naive. I was only about 19 or 20 years old.

Young love is no joke!

lol lol lol

What? Madonna didn’t get him to do any drugs or alcohol? He didn’t become pot-bellied slack-jaw after Madonna?
