According to Radar Online, “Bobby Brown is expected to be in the pews Saturday at an invitation-only memorial service at Newark, New Jersey’s New Hope Baptist Church for his ex-wife Whitney Houston, despite the bad blood brewing between he and the singer’s family.”
When reading the various gossip blogs, it is important to have a good dose of common sense so you don’t believe everything you read.
For example, there was a rumor that Whitney’s mother, Cissy Houston, banned Bobby from seeing his daughter, Bobbi Kristina, in California. I guess it didn’t matter that Cissy Houston was in New Jersey, not California.
That rumor was floated hours after Bobby himself released a statement to ABC News asking for privacy for his daughter, whom he said was “doing much better.” So obviously they have been in contact.
He will be with his child as he should.
So Sandra,
I know this is
but I wanting to tell you before you went being messy with Whitney about my encounter yesterday afternoon, and anyone else familiar with Atlanta.
So, there is this white guy in one of my classes that drives this BMW M3. Being that we sometimes park next to each other, I seen that he’s from Fulton County.
Well, yesterday, we were talking, I told him that I liked his car and I asked him what part of Atlanta he was from, and he responded: I’m from Fulton.
I assumingly asked what part of North Fulton and he looked at me like this —>
and said, I didn’t say North Fulton, I said Fulton. Then I gave him that same look right back because I had for one put my foot in my mouth and for two, I was thinking to myself “I know damn well this white boy that looks like he is straight from Sandy Springs doesn’t live in South Fulton… But then inevitably I asked, well what part of Fulton are you from? His response…
Hapeville.
By the time I heard Hape I had already passed to the other side, like this
because I’ve heard time and time again that their are a few white wealthy families left in Hapeville that REFUSE to leave their hometown but I swear to you that I’ve always been like “yeah, right” when my mom says that a few are still there and they’re mostly well off too.
Before I could respond, he went on to say that his great grandparents lived there, his grandparents still lives there and even though most of his has moved to Brookhaven, Roswell, and Vinings, his dad chose to stay and raise them there.
Of course I had to ask where he went to school, he told me Woodward Academy.
Sandra, that blew my mind and I told him that too. He saI’d that no one believes him when he tells them.
So now, I’m asking you, did you know that wealthy white people still lived in Hapeville because to actually meet one shocked the HELL out of me.
I would have believed in Big Foot before this.

Ain’t that the truest damn statement. Hopefully he is with her, and she can lean on him during this time of grief.
As he shood to be there with his daughter…
Ok? Who thought anything less? (in re: to the HEADLINE – haven’t read the entire post)
Kevin Frazier reported that Bobby had not seen Bobbi K when he arrived in LA and then TMZ reported the same thing. I think there was an issue when he first arrived in town but was worked out.
Glad he is there to support his daughter during this diffcult time.
Weddings and funerals tend to bring out fam drama sadly.
@Screwball
Must be an Atlanta thing.
LOL
I know one thing, OUR “Woodward Academy” is a public school in the HOOD! IJS
#carryon
Sandra – I sweater to gosh I appreciate your update, but DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
He was married to the woman for 15 years and from that union they have a child togeher, where else would anybody expect him to be? BYE
I think somebody in the Houston fam is TMZ source too

Any word on if the funeral will be televised?
Um duh of course he’s gonna be at the funeral why wouldn’t he be????
I’d honestly be shocked if he DIDN’T go…Whitney was a huge part of his life for many years, and they share a child…
I just hate that the media is going in already. They were discussing Whitney’s money on GMA this morning and how much Krissy will make in the next 2yrs from Sparkle, royalties, etc.
Its really phucked up what we’ve come to. This child is grieving and they already have their hands in her pocket
The funeral will be a private one. No cameras.
Prynn
It’s Private but yes, in the Hood. That blew my mind forreal.
I LOVE Bobby’s shirt message. I need about 10 of dem joints in every color
Does anyone listen to the Mo Ivory Show on WAOK? She took over for Warren Ballentine after Warren was kicked to the curb (not mad about that).
I’m trying to understand the confusion… That was his wife at one point and that is his daughter. For anything he would be there to support his daughter… so
I am glad it is private invite only..lessen the chance of it becoming a side show… lessen that is…

Did they build the block around your gravi? Did someone trick him and put food into the block and he went to get it and got stock? Does he have to get cut out of that block?

I guess when you divorce someone you have to wish them bad will, and turn your back on the kids you had w/them. SMH.
Cali …
… just read it. I’ll have to touch base with her soon because we’ve both been crazy busy. That sounds like a great idea. Thanks!
he should be there…the world knew Whitney loved her some Bobby Brown. Whatever happened in their union is really their business. They share a kid, thats MOST importmant. Bobbi K is the most important factor here.

Why do you say slick chit to the sandra rose weekenders
You had me cracking up last weekend
@MP
Wendell works my nerves. I find myself up at night watching her and I simply dont have a honest reason WHY? I go to sleep everynight saying “this bytch”
MP … me too
That contestant #3 last night though??? Why oh why did they choose her and her teeth looked like she chewed bricks 
I know he would’ve been pissed if he chose her
@ Screw in Jersey in the church she grew up in
I read that only person really getting rich(er)is clive, dolly parton and the other song writers and producers,, whitney didnt own her publishing nor wrote any of her songs, so her estate is getting money but not as much as people thinks….. sad
So now, I’m asking you, did you know that wealthy white people still lived in Hapeville because to actually meet one shocked the HELL out of me.
—————
Yes, for example there is a LOT of old money in Griffin, Lovejoy, Newnan, Fayetteville etc… also the tuxedo road side and the lder side of Buckhead. New money lives in the city…
@MP
Brick teeth
whitney didnt own her publishing nor wrote any of her songs, so her estate is getting money but not as much as people thinks
I only wish she wouldve done the Matthew Knowles/Beyonce treatment and added a line or two.
Dont the dwarf house chick fil a folks still live in Hapeville?
Yeha that sympathy watching is why Wendy still on TV. Please turn to the news.
Or like Oprah said turn to OWN.
:wave: @ Cali
What adopted son
@ JMO

It happens. Trust.
One of the white bsihes on GMA (not a regular anchor a correspondant) said “she’s worth more dead than alive…”
I was like this bish.
Kind of made me look at Clive sideways cause he didn’t have her back in that capacity…always saw him like a father figure to her but he treated her like all business at the end of the day

We need to do Whitney the same way dem pink toes do Elvis. He was a junkie but you would neva know it the way people still paying to go to his home, spotting him in they gotdamm P&B sammiches and all type of ignant chit. When its one of their “stars” they go above and beyond we on the other hand are quick to come out with stories like “Me and Whitney once drank a peach wine cooler together in the 10th grade”
I once saw Whitney brush up against a lady and the sparkle in her eyes made me realize she was a proud African American lesbian 
GTFOH
spotting him in they gotdamm P&B sammiches
They try to take everything from Jesus. They dont care. I saw Jesus there first.
well on discovery channel they said they found Jesus Bones
a lady i think in arizona saw Virgin mary in her cheese toast

I was wondering what I wanted for lunch. Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup sound good. Cheese Toast
Umm cheese toast. Yum.
Nope the fam mbr source is pouring accurate tea thus far to TMZ
they know not to fool w/anybody who doesn’t really know they are not here for that
Whitney had an adopted son. His name is Nick Gordan and he’s 22
While riding in the car with my mother, a Whitney Houston song came on the radio. She stated, ” I think that everything that happened in the last days of her life was God’s plan. Think about it. The last song she sang was ‘Jesus Loves Me’. They found her submerged under water, like God was washing away all of her sins. Now come on Home. Even if you have to take a few pills to get here. You are clean now, so come on Home.” It made me look at the situation in a different light, which made perfect sense. Just thought that I would share that.
Sandra..it’s being said now that Whitney did not die in the tub,that it looks like she may have had a heart attack and fell over into the tub..This is why folks should have waited until the coroner gave a cause of death officially..All this negative BS and lies being reported..if this new report is true..a lot of folks that have been saying overdose are gonna feel really salty…
I can see how the media wants this to be an Anna Nicole death circus. So ridiculous. Who talks about someone not being invited to a funeral? I’m Jamaican…I’ve never seen a funeral invitation. I hope Bobbi Kristina can take solace in the fact that she has a father, and he’s continuing to work on his sobriety. She has a tough road, but she’ll be fine.
