LOS ANGELES (AP) _ HER PUBLICIST SAYS GRAMMY-WINNING SINGER WHITNEY HOUSTON HAS FILED FOR DIVORCE FROM HUSBAND BOBBY BROWN. ^

Just saw this on the AP wire - haven't looked around for more yet...but thought it was interesting....

What's sad is that I'm actually surprised.

I wont pile on here since that's like beating a dead horse, but maybe getting away from him will help her?

It's about time! Yeah Whitney! Maybe she can make that climb up and out of the hole now.

DavidMn · #4 09-13-2006, 02:53 PM

I wonder though if her voice is so F***ED up now that she wont really be able to sing much?

Wow! That's the best move she's made in years.

Yes, Monsieur Brown is right up there in the Leech category with Keven Federline. At least he had a musical career, even if it was 15 years AGO...

Whitney Houston Splits From Bobby Brown
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (September 13, 2006) -- Access Hollywood has learned from a source close to Whitney Houston that the star has split from her long-time husband Bobby Brown.

What is now a legal separation is a technicality which, according to Houston's publicist, Nancy Seltzer, automatically will become a divorce filing in October.

The source says legal documents were filed Friday and that Bobby Brown was served with those documents yesterday.

Bobby Brown & Whitney Houston got married on July 18th 1992. They have been married for 14 years.

They have one daughter, Bobbi Kristina, born March 4, 1993.

In June 2005, Brown launched his own reality series, "Being Bobby Brown," on the Bravo television network.

Whitney Houston made a splash at the Beverly Hilton Hotel last night with a surprise appearance at the "The Society of Singers Presents the 15th Annual Ella Award honoring Johnny Mathis". Flanked by her mentor, Clive Davis, and cousin, Dionne Warwick (who performed at the event), Whitney looked every bit the picture of health and happiness, the likes of which the public hasn't seen from her in quite some time.

The glamorous Whitney was all smiles posing for photographs, laughing arm-in-arm with Davis and Warwick, and appeared reminiscent of years past when she was at the top of her game as one of the leading ladies of the music industry.

Mr. Davis told MTV last week that he and Whitney are at work right now on a comeback album, and they've already chosen six songs for the project. Clive had this to say about what fans can expect: "Whitney is Whitney, and there ain't nobody like her. It'll be Whitney. It won't be somebody reaching for a current trend, that's for sure."

Whitney has been under public scrutiny in recent years due to her declining weight, tumultous marriage to singer Bobby Brown, and her stint in a rehabilitation facility in 2005 (for undisclosed reasons). Her last studio album, "One Wish: The Holiday Album," only reached No. 49 on the Billboard 200 album chart after its November 2003 release, performing far below her previous efforts.

Last night's surprise appearance coupled with Clive Davis' announcement of a new album indicates that the former reigning diva could soon be back where she belongs: on top of her game and on top of the charts.

A reality show?!?!

UGH thank god I missed that one!

Hey thanks for the article! Well I hope she does clean up her act, and get back to healthy (both physically and mentally). I always liked her ok - and thought it was so sad the path she went down.

I like a few of her songs, but I never been a big fan... still, I hope that without Bobby's influence she truly can clean up her act. She has waaaay too much talent for it to be squandered.

mikeschmike · #12 09-13-2006, 03:23 PM

Now this is good news. The latest rehab stint must have actually knocked some sense into her.

Now come on with a CD that is actually good!

P.S. Not that it matters, but I thought the Bobby/Whitney reality show was quite entertaining.

i watched "being bobby brown", what an awful train wreck of a show & i must say he has been poison to her, not that she isn't a grown woman & can't take responsibility for her own actions, i just always thought he brought her down to a nasty level~ good for her!!!~

Only about 13 years too late.

She is a huge talent, no doubt. I hope she stays clean and gets back on track and find some happiness. On the reality show with Bobby, she looked so cracked out all the time, it was sad.
