it manages [at the same time] to rob [Whitney] Houston of any last shreds of dignity....

Anyone notice that all that crack has made his jaw move to the side everytime he talks.
There was a time when I actually liked this guy. Now i can't help but think how pathetic he turned out.

It's been a LONG TIME since "Every Little Step" and "Don't Be Cruel." Jail, drugs, philandering, general foolishness and criminality is all he's been up to in the last nearly two decades. This is his last stab at a comeback -- and this time it's not as a "star," but as a reality show circus freak.

Damn shame Whitney attached herself to him and let herself go down the drain with him. She MIGHT be able to get herself back together and get back on top one of these days -- but, if she wants to, she better let his sorry ass go completely and let Cissy and Robin Crawford go back to being her main confidantes and career advisers/handlers.

She'd have been MUCH better off just coming out of the closet, marrying Robin and letting the chips fall............

(That's RIGHT, I said it -- out LOUD)

Proof that hiding in the closet doesn't always help your career.

She was THE biggest female star in the music industry before she met Bobby Brown. Now look at her.

I can't say whether or not the marriage to Brown was a complete sham -- they do have little Bobbi Kristina, who's probably going to need a whole LOT of therapy very soon because of her parents -- but, I do know for a fact that the relationship with Crawford was very real for many years (I have good friends who were part of the inner circle for quite some time -- I won't mention names because I'm not sure whether those multi-million dollar non-disclosure agreements have expired yet).

Brown NEVER was faithful (he had at least three illegimate kids AFTER he met Whitney) and if he was supposed to give her some kind of "street cred" and help her career ...... well, that plan failed miserably.

I personally would rather be hit by a bus than watch this piece of crap.

I can see how reality tv can help some people but I really don't see this helping Brown at all. I think people might watch initially just to see if he really is that crazy, but I imagine it will deter most people.

I just want to cry everytime I see The Preacher's Wife. Whitney has (perhaps had) such an incredible voice, beauty, and talent. Someone needs to drag her out of that marriage before all of this can no longer be recovered.

This is right up there next to Chaotic in the "things you couldn't pay me enough to watch" category.

I like Britney, but have had no desire to watch Chaotic. That being said, having seen the promos and read this article, the two shows can't be compared. A less-than-intelligent, less-than-classy pop star showing her immaturity on camera is one thing, but this - gah - I can't imagine why a single person would tune in to this.

And I don't understand why no one has intervened to help Whitney in all these years.

I don't have a problem with Britney, but I think her situation could become similiar to Whitney's. She seems to have changed for the worse since hooking up with Federline.

But you're probably right, that the 2 shows can't be compared. I haven't seen either, and I won't, that's all I meant.

what's the matter, rath, you don't like to see train wrecks? that's what american tv is all about these days - who is the biggest train wreck - anna nicole, nick & jessica, britney, bobby or the dozens of other reality show "stars."

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 6/30/05 at 9:39am

Surprisingly, Robb, I don't like train wrecks so much. They depress me.

[RobbO]

Posted: 6/30/05 at 9:40am

no, they make you feel better about your life - it's all about perspective.

Will they show the receipts? Will they show the receipts?

Bobbi Kristina does NOT need therapy. She needs vitamins and excercise.

I think Whitney's been too deep for too long. If she hasn't snapped out of it yet, it probably won't happen. It's pretty obvious that no matter what he does, she won't cut him loose. This reality show could get enough ugly backlash to open her eyes for a moment, but honestly, bad publicity never snapped her out of it before, so I think she is committed to her life now.

The funny thing is, no one really wants to see the life of Bobby Brown. Everyone is watching for the glimpses of Whitney. The fact that he probably knows that is the most pathetic aspect of the show.

You're right, Matt, and I think her only chance to break away from him is if he ends up in jail for a few years.

see now, i would remove the quotes from the title. simply, Being Bobby Brown is disgusting.

[Mister Matt]

Posted: 6/30/05 at 9:59am

Doing Bobby Brown is even worse.

Wait....what...Whitney is a lesbian (or was it a phase?)? Did I read that correctly?

Well you learn something new everyday. (If it's true?!)

Well, I believe that children are our future...
