Bobby Brown Breaks Down Crying Over Whitney Houston & Bobbi Kristina

Bobby Brown has had a, um, turbulent life.


Yeah, I think it"s fair to say that.


He"s been arrested a number of times, was accused of domestic abuse and had serious issues with addiction.


But the most tragic events of his life were undoubtedly the untimely loss of both his longtime love Whitney Houston and later the daughter they shared, Bobbi Kristina.


Brown is now opening up about his feelings on 20/20 in a candid interview with Robin Roberts.


In the clip below, an announcer dramatically teases, "For the first time, he opens up with what you haven"t yet heard… emotional, deeply private."


Brown addresses the bizarre coincidental manner in which both women died: drowning in a bathtub with drugs in their systems.


"The same thing that happened to my daughter is what happened to Whitney," Brown tells Roberts.


He also discusses the first time he "saw her do drugs," although we"re unsure if he"s talking about Houston or his daughter (guess we"ll have to watch to find out).



By the end of the clip, Brown has broken down into tears, an image you don"t see from the former bad boy often.


"My baby"s gone," he cries, getting emotional about Bobbi Kristina.


Brown penned a new memoir, Every Little Step, in which he discusses the death of his daughter.


In it, he speculates on a new theory about Bobbi Kristina"s death.


He wonders whether a car accident she was involved in days before she died may have contributed to her falling unconscious in the tub.


“We asked the doctors whether she could have suffered some type of brain trauma or hemorrhage that didn’t present itself until four days later, resulting in the bathtub incident," he writes. 


“But the doctors couldn’t really give us definitive answers.”


The 20/20 special with Bobby Brown airs Tuesday, June 7 on ABC.

Christina Aguilera: Performing Duet With Whitney Houston Hologram on The Voice??

This is either going to be super awesome or horrifically creepy.


Perhaps a bit of both.


Christina Aguilera is reportedly slated to perform a duet with a hologram of the late Whitney Houston on The Voice, a source tells Entertainment Tonight.


Rumors surfaced that Houston"s hologram would make an appearance on the show last week, but so far, Aguilera admits nothing.


"I am sworn to secrecy," she said.


"I can"t say anything, but I"m very excited about the finale. Very exciting things happening."


NBC declined to comment as well.


Houston, who has been nicknamed "THE Voice," is regarded as one of the greatest singers ever to live, as coaches on the singing competition are often heard repeating.



Contestants who perform Houston songs do so at their own peril, as the coaches are quick to compare and scrutinize, usually unfavorably.


However, Aguilera is also highly respected for her talent and is considered by many to be one of the greatest living vocalists.


Putting these two together could result in an immaculate harmony of runs and high notes, but fans aren"t necessarily thrilled.


"No disrespect to Christina Aguilera, but why is a Whitney Houston hologram not just Whitney by herself? Is NBC paying for it or something?" wrote one critic on Twitter.


"Can people not sing Whitney Houston songs or even sing with a hologram of her please. It will never sound good," tweeted another.


Black Twitter also expressed its displeasure with the pairing.


"Whitney Houston"s hologram in my opinion should be sang with by a black woman IMO. But that"s just me. Don"t @ me," wrote one user.


Two years ago, Michael Jackson"s hologram made its debut, and fans raved at how real it appeared.


But the Jackson"s holographic rendering performed solo.


We have to wonder if it would have received the same backlash if Justin Timberlake appeared alongside the King of Pop"s image.

Whitney Port Marries Tim Rosenmann!

The Hills are alive… with the sound of wedding bells!


In exciting news broken by E!, former MTV reality star Whitney Port exchanged vows over the weekend with long-time boyfriend Tim Rosenmann.



The ceremony took place on Saturday, almost exactly two years after the couple got engaged.


According to E! sources, Portman and Rosemann promised to love each other for all of eternity in front of friends and family members in Palm Springs, California, with Port donning a custom-fit wedding dress by Ashi Couture for the special occasion.


“They married at sunset and it was so romantic!” a source tells the outlet.


“They seemed so in love when they exchanged vows. Whitney is so happy.”


Awww! And that makes us so happy to hear!


Port met Rosenmann while filming The City in New York way back in the day. The latter served as an associate producer not that MTV spinoff from 2008-2010.


A year later, Port split from Ben Nemtin and a new romance was hatched.


“I definitely made the first move,” Port told The Daily Mail awhile back.


“I got his phone number and made up some excuse why I needed to reach him for something…I kind of felt he was never gonna try it with me. He’s not shy, but I know in his past with girls he had difficult making the first move.”


And look where it got her today! We send the newlywed are best wishes!

Get Ready For A Whitney Houston Hologram In 2016 — We"ve Got The Deets On What You Can Expect To See!

Are celebrity memorial holograms weird or cool??


Whether you’re ready or not, there will be a Whitney Houston hologram coming to a venue near you on a future worldwide tour, thanks to billionaire Alki David and his companies Hologram USA and FilmOn Studios.

With the permission of Houston’s estate, FilmOn has created a hologram version of the late singer, allowing fans who have never seen her to get a glimpse of what Whitney was like on stage — and allowing those who have watched her perform to see Houston one more time, if only via technology.


David said of Houston and his company’s decision to produce the hologram:


“I was heartbroken when Whitney passed away in 2012. The opportunity to help share her spectacular gifts with the world again is exactly what I hoped for when I built the hologram business. We’ve got technology that’s causing a seismic shift in the entertainment industry, and a wonderful partnership withPat Houston and the estate. I’m confident we’ll create the ultimate celebration of Whitney’s amazing artistry.”



The estate is on board with this — or more specifically, Pat Houston is on board with this, and she had this to say about the upcoming hologram:


“It’s a great opportunity for her fans to see a reinvention of one the most celebrated female artists in history and to continue a legacy of performances that will not be forgotten in years to come. I look forward to the partnership.”



Well OK then!


What do U guys think — do holograms go too far in preserving somebody who should be left only in memories and on video?! Or is it a cool piece of technology that allows you to reconnect with the past??
