Whitney Houston Finally Dumps Bobby Brown

by Ife Oshun ·

It seems like the entire world, both online and offline, is literally rejoicing with the news that Whitney has finally kicked Bobby to the curb. We went looking online to see if anybody out there felt bad for the jilted hubby.

As previously reported, Superhead recently claimed she and ex-flame Bobby (ok who wasn’t one of her ex-flames?) have been spending time, so it’s a possibility that this might have sullied his otherwise pristine reputation…

As Gawker.com neutrally points out, Access Hollywood is running with this story, and might be one of the more reliable places to get the freshest info on the split. They say last night Whitney was hanging tough at the Ella Awards with Clive Davis and auntie Dionne Warwick, and looking a little like her old self (look at the pics). Perhaps Patii Labelle’s call for action is at the root of this dramatic change?

And while some rejoice openly, the ironic thing is Bobby’s new girlfriend, Superhead, may be working in conjunction with Whitney to get the latter’s career back on track. If this is the case then ‘head’s our new hero.

A commenter over here even pointed out Osama Bin Laden may be celebrating the news.

Well, it was fun looking for that one person who empathized with Bobby, but since we failed all we have to say is this: Hell to the yes… let’s hope she had a pre-nup.

News Bits: Tupac, Jay-Z, David Smith & Beyonce

by admin ·

10 years ago, Tupac Shakur became immortal. While his murder became unsolved, his legend has grown exponentially and his story, charisma and lyrics continue to inspire music lovers and everyday people. ThugLifeArmy.com, dedicated to continual Pac coverage lists a number of goings on commemorating his memory. RIP 2Pac.

Rumor has it Jay-Z, who recently reclaimed his mic, has been fired from his swanky position at Def Jam. The rumor originated at Okay Player.com, the online home of The Roots, whose new album Game Theory, is getting almost no love from the label’s marketing department. And as AllHiphop points out, neither is Method Man’s latest, 4:21 The Day After, dropped the same day.

Is it possible that Anna Nicole Smith’s son, David Wayne Smith, was a victim of murder? Who was this mysterious third person in the room at the time of his death? This is the most bizarre story of the year, many condolences to Ms. Smith and her new baby girl.

Beyonce is officially No. 1 on the Billboard charts.

And with all the talk of the 9/11 tragedy, don’t forget the tragedy still unfolding in the Gulf Coast. Pick up a copy of the updated version of the Sister Sledge classic “We Are Family.” Produced by Rodney Jerkins, the star-studded track features the sisters along with Patti Labelle, Ciara, Brian McKnight, Chris Brown and Brandford Marsalis. Proceeds go toward Hurricane Katrina disaster relief.

According to Vibe, Maxwell has erected a myspace page to promote his upcoming album. This after alleged conflict with his label who, some people say, felt his last efforts were too homosexual and would destroy his mainly-female fan base.
