Bobby Brown heads back to rehab…

The ReadyWriter

Bobby Brown is seeking treatment for his own addictions. The former New Edition singer, who was arrested in March on a DUI, is currently in a rehab center, his new wife confirms: “He’s doing great,” Alicia Etheredge tells RadarOnline. Although a source tells the site that Brown, 43, is getting help for an alcohol addiction, his wife of just two months wouldn’t confirm those details.

In May, the “My Prerogative” singer admitted he still drank in a “Today show” interview with Matt Lauer. “I’m not allowed to drink for the next 30 days [per judge’s orders],” he said at the time. “I do have a cocktail occasionally, you know. I will again, I know that. But I’m seven years clean from narcotics. You know, I’m living — I’m living the life that I want to live.” In the same interview, Brown also admitted that he “would always be worried” that his 19-year-old daughter with Houston, Bobbi Kristina, would fall into the same addictions as her mother and father. With two parents addicted, Bobbi Kristina has double the curse to fight against that happening.

Connecticut town wants to remain all white!

The ReadyWriter

They want the nice houses, with the manicured lawns and white picket fences in their all white communities. This was the goal of the Housing Authority in Winchester, CT. and by doing so, it’s Housing Authority “systematically and unlawfully” discriminated against minorities in its administration of a federal housing subsidy program.

That’s right, the town of Winchester, Connecticut, discriminated against Blacks and Latinos by giving housing vouchers to mostly white people, this was the town’s way of “ensuring that overwhelmingly White communities remain overwhelmingly White.

As a result, Crystal Carter, an African-American woman, and the Connecticut Fair Housing Center sued the town’s Housing Authority last Wednesday. Carter alleges in the lawsuit that the Winchester Housing Authority refused to even mail her a Section 8 voucher application because she did not meet their residency requirements as a Hartford resident. Carter, an African-American single mother of six and domestic violence survivor, has been forced to live in homeless shelters and “other unstable environments” in Hartford because she could not find good housing, according to the lawsuit.

The Winchester Housing Authority plans to change its policies in light of the lawsuit. But let’s not be fooled people, there are a lot of economically segregated cities in America; Winchester is just the latest to get caught.

There is Something ‘Very Off’ About Bobbi Kristina Brown!

The ReadyWriter

It was an emotional night for Bobbi Kristina Brown at Sunday’s Billboard Awards I’m sure, but this girl look a mess!!!!!

The only daughter of the late Whitney Houston broke down in tears during the musical tribute to her mother and fought back emotions as she accepted the Millennium Award on her mother’s behalf but what in the…was she wearing? Her hair is disheveled, her bra is showing and she look half high, she’s supposedly 19 years old but the girl look like she’s aged some years since her mother’s death. Bobbi Kristina just don’t look wholesome.

The tribute was underwhelming according to feedback on Twitter.com last night. Despite the pre-show hype indicating that Bobbi Kristina, a budding entertainer, would sing — she didn’t.

Bobbi Kristina shed tears during Jordin Sparks’ stirring performance of “I Will Always Love You.” Afterwards, Bobbi Kristina took to the stage with her aunt, Pat Houston and said:“I’m just blessed to have been in such an incredible woman’s life,” , her statement sounded very distant, almost like Whitney was a friend to her instead of her mother.

I hope the best for Whitney’s daughter because she seems incredibly vulnerable at this time in her life.

Betty White Endorses Barack Obama for re-election!

The ReadyWriter

The 90-year-old “Golden Girl” very much favors President Obama for a second term.

Although White said she generally stays away from politics to avoid alienating any of her fans but said, she likes what Obama has done and “how he represents us.”

White continues to land starring roles and earn comedic kudos in a career that spans nearly three-quarters of a century. In 2010, the “Hot in Cleveland” star became the oldest person to host “Saturday Night Live,” an appearance that earned White her seventh Emmy.

Betty White is the latest in a series of celebrities to back the President.

More than 150 stars, including actors Robert Downey Jr., Tobey Maguire, Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal, Salma Hayek and Jack Black attended a $40,000-a-person fund-raiser for Obama at George Clooney’s Los Angeles mansion last Thursday.

For those of you who truly know me, knows…the Golden Girls is one of my favorite shows in syndication. 🙂
