Whitney Houston has already said bye bye to her ex-husband Bobby Brown with a divorce in 2007, and now the singer is trying to part ways with the house the two got married at in 1992.

According to the Associated Press, the singer is putting up her Menham, New Jersey home for sale with an asking price of $2.5 million, although it’s valued at $5.6 million.

Whoever buys the modern-styled mansion will be in for a beautiful home. The property is five-bedrooms, 12,561-sq.-ft. and the real estate website where it’s listed describes other perks including “circular-themed interior spaces,” as well as a four-car garage, three fireplaces, walk-in closets, a bar and skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows.

During the end of her marriage to Bobby, Whitney moved to Atlanta. She and her daughter, Bobbi, currently reside in Los Angeles. Selling the old house isn’t the only fresh start that Whitney has made recently. Her comeback album, “I Look to You,” was the first album she recorded in seven years and it debuted at  No. 1 on the Billboard charts when it dropped at the end of August. It seems like the songbird is  trying to pick up the pieces of her rocky past and move on in general.  Go Whitney!

There have always been rumors that Whitney Houston might have a thing for ladies in addition to rocks and rocky men, but since we don’t sleep with Nippy it’s been none of our business.

But a man who has slept in the same bed as the famed singer has apparently entertained those lesbian rumors himself.

In his tell-all book, Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But.…, Bobby Brown has accused Whitney of getting married to “clean up her image”.

Bobby writes:

“[The marriage] was doomed from the very beginning. I think we got married for all the wrong reasons. Now, I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married.

I believe her agenda was to clean up her image, while mine was to be loved and have children.

The media was accusing her of having a bisexual relationship with her assistant, Robin Crawford.

Since she was the American Sweetheart and all, that didn’t go too well with her image.

In Whitney’s situation, the only solution was to get married and have kids. That would kill all speculation, whether it was true or not.”

From drug use to abuse Whitney Houston shared dirty details of her stormy marriage to Bobby Brown in a highly anticipated interview with Oprah that aired yesterday, and while she called him her “drug” and said she “was so weak to him,” the “King of R&B” responded with his own take on the relationship.

In a sit down with Insider that also aired yesterday, Bobby said: “I think we corrupted each other. I don’t think she hurt me or I hurt her in any way. I just think we had a 14-year marriage that had its ups and downs, and not many people understood it.”

Other tidbits from Bobby’s sit down with reporter Chris Jacobs:

On how often he used drugs: “I used an awful lot and can’t take that back.”

On his drug of choice: “Cocaine, it’s a powerful drug.”

On why he used: “I just think I was bored. I had just gotten married, and things [weren’t] right. Unfortunately, I turned to alcohol and drugs.”

On the night he first met Whitney: “That’s one of the things I try to forget.”

On his feelings about Whitney’s tell-all interview with Oprah: “If there’s something that she says that is untrue or disrespectful then I’ll deal with that with her.”

We’ve already heard a lot of details of their relationship in the past, heck, they even had a reality TV stint that gave us an inside look (remember Bravo’s  Being Bobby Brown that aired in 2005?), but for whatever reason the world still can’t get enough of the Whitney Bobby show!

What do you think about these interviews? Who’s side are you on?

If you were hoping that Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston’s penchant for public displays of embarrassment had escaped their daughter, Bobbi Kristina, you obviously don’t know the power of genetics.

Egypt Says So says last week Bobbi Kristina and Whitney were spotted at a restaurant in Atlanta cursing each other out.

Whatever the argument between mother and 16-year-old was about sent Nippy reeling. They say she couldn’t stop filling up her glass with white wine as the meal went on. I’m surprised Whitney didn’t steal off on her.

I could pin this on teenage angst, but when your parents are Bobby and Whitney should you get a pass?

Don’t go out to eat with Bobby Brown and expect him to cover you. If you do, you’ll likely need to wear your tennis shoes (sneakers for others, gym shoes for the Midwest folks) and get a good stretch in to get your run on.

The New York Daily News reports that while eating a pizzeria, the Kang of R&B was overheard chewing out his manager over the phone.

After not having any luck at the ATM, Bobby called his manger and screamed, “’Where the f— is all my money?’ over and over while his kids waited inside.”

Isn’t his manager his girlfriend/new baby mama?

I would blame this on the recession, but Bobby Brown seemed to have money troubles long before millions of Americans did. I guess those “Thug Lovin’” royalty checks didn’t go far.

Next time eat at home.

Chris Brown was hyped as the next Michael Jackson. However, Michael Jackson had Johnnie Cochran, while Chris Brown has the lawyer Michael Jackson fired. 

If sent to jail, some fans may become Chris’ prison pen pals, but many will likely move on to the next rhythm-heavy R&B pretty boy ready to take his place.

And just who that be?

Usher: He started dancing like someone’s funny Uncle last year, and spurred Ad nauseam with an entire album dedicated to his wife, but is Usher one hit away from securing his spot back?

Omarion: Can’t manage to score a hit album to save his life (and record deal), but what if Chris were out of the picture?

Mario: Mario is like that person you know has so much talent, yet you still don’t pay him any mind. That is, until Chris Brown treated Rihanna like a UFC fighter.

Trey Songz: More like baby R. Kelly than the sequel to Chris Brown, but I’m sure he’s willing to take dance lessons.  

Sammie: He’s hook boy on Soulja Boy’s second hit single. That has to count for something, right? No. Ok, whatever.

I personally prefer Bobby Brown, so I might be out of the loop.

Who do you think has the best chance at break dancing pass Chris Brown? 

Bobby Brown’s ex is doing just fine, it looks like. Whitney Houston has been in the studio recording songs for her new album, and she steps out with a sucker — ahem – in Beverly Hills on Tuesday. Her ex-husband, recently confirmed that he’s expecting a new baby with his manager, Alicia Etheridge.

Bobby Brown and his girlfriend of two-and-a-half years, manager Alicia Etheridge, are expecting their first child together, he says in an interview with People magazine.

“I’m really excited about my new addition to my family,” says Brown, who plans to celebrate his 40th birthday with family and friends on Thursday in Los Angeles.

The Bad Boy of R&B also says that he’ll be celebrating his sobriety.

Brown, who split with Whitney Houston in 2006, has a 15-year-old daughter with Houston. He also has two children with ex-girlfriend Kim Ward and a son with ex-girlfriend Melika Williams. This will be Etheridge’s first child.
