Bobby Against Book Release
Remember last summer when word spread that Bobby Brown was writing a book and just as soon as excerpts began to leak there was an announcement that the book was being canceled? Well, the guy who co-wrote the book with Bobby, Derrick Handspike, is going ahead with the release against Bobby's wishes. Handspike says after the leaks came out Whitney put pressure on Bobby because of all the embarrassing information he revealed so Bobby backed out. Too bad the book was already finished. Handspike says he has no hard feelings against Bob but business is business so he released the book today and it's available at Barnes and Nobles and Amazon.com.

One of Fantasia's homes is in foreclosure. They say Fan's $1.3 million, 6 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom pond-front mansion is going on the auction block the second week in January unless she can come up with some bread. But your homegirl is not homeless, she owns another home not far from the one that's in dutch. Time for a concert tour I'd say.
Beyonce Says
it bothers her when comparisons are made between her family and another rich and famous African-American family.
"I grew up upper-class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We're African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we're like the Jacksons. But I didn't have parents using me to get out of a bad situation."
