Sep 13 2006Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown separate

A rep for Whitney Houston has confirmed that she filed for divorce from Bobby Brown last Friday. I'd congratulate her on the smart move, but the decision took her 14 years longer than it should have. Taking your hand out of a toaster is smart. Waiting three days to do it not so much. Although considering this I guess we should just be thankful she doesn't spend her nights crawling down the street offering to sell her house for crack money.
NOTE: If ever in your life you wake up and see this in the mirror, it might be time to make some changes.

IT'S ABOUT TIME! Maybe we'll see Whitney return to her true diva days once off the junk. Britney will have to take notice of how it's done.

If eternal love like this is shattered, what hope lies for us common folk?
I am stunned it lasted this long. Their marriage was like a broken clock that kept travelling west...it was right more than twice a day.

Some people just should not be allowed to make scandalous amounts of money, then be turned loose to spend it on whatever they choose--which, in this case, was a 'high' that ruined more than one life.
Whitney woman, get your shit together hon, you used to be wonderful.

16. Reid - September 13, 2006 4:39 PM
Hmm. This is perplexing. I really don't know who to side with. This is like a war between France and Germany. Both sides deserve to lose.
I'm going to go with Bobby as my winner. At least he still looks sort of human.

Lifetime movie to follow: Whitney & Bobby feign break-up so Whitney can go under cover for the CIA in her desperate bid to be the next greatest American hero by single handedly luring Osama out of hiding....or not. Crack is Whack!!

@ #8...when the Host is bankrupt-the parasite must find NEW DIGS!!
20. diamondprynzez - September 13, 2006 5:12 PM
I wonder if Osama had anything to do with this.
21. dovescry1999 - September 13, 2006 5:53 PM
Whitney...
It's too late, honey. Your life and career have been forever ruined, by coming out as the gutter rat,project bitch that you were in the get go.
You and Bobby should have never been allowed to meet, let alone breed.
I feel sorry for your damaged daughter.
22. anyone - September 13, 2006 6:06 PM

whitney, u caused to many problems for your family, friends and my ears...

Damn did Bobby stop beating her ? I guess she thought he was getting soft with old age , good for you girl.
24. checkyourshorts - September 13, 2006 6:49 PM
the question is why did they get married?
and, that answered, why are they getting divorced?
i need an expert's insight. like lisa marie presley's, for example.

Echoing everyone's sentiment...it's about time!
Hopefully she gets clean.

I smell a custody battle over crack pipes!
31. marie-jo - September 14, 2006 12:36 AM
OMG .. I hope he didn't cheat on her, the poor thing..
32. jaysaj - September 14, 2006 12:45 AM
@30 hilarious. It about time. I can't help hoping she makes a huge comback and a gracefull exit after the dust has settled. She is timeless.

When reality shows fail, couples breakup. A sad testimony to the age we live in. Rising fuel costs due to constant strife in the Middle East have subsequently raised the price of your average kilo, as jet fuel prices skyrocket and drug mules demand higher fees, thereby leaving her ever dwindling wealth able to support only one addict at a time. Oh the days we could all get high on the cheap! I for one now threaten anyone who comes next to my weed. Excuse me as I wipe my eyes and reminisce...
#16 - Excellent observation. I'd always side against France.

I see RichPort is here in full voice. Now all we need is jrzmommy and we can start the two step.
36. llllllllll - September 14, 2006 5:04 AM
She might as well just stay with him ...what value does she have now? trash belongs with trash... ever since she got with Bobby, she lost all class, respect and looks....and now she wants to leave? lol
37. tiamat - September 14, 2006 5:15 AM
Step 1 - dump the loser.
Step 2 - Detox....Rehab... whatever it takes to get clean.
Step 3 - Hook up with Anna Nicole and get yourself on Trimspa. You look like hell girl!
38. jrzmommy - September 14, 2006 5:27 AM
no more crack is whack? aw man. I was waiting for her to go completely Margot Kidder for us.
39. LoneWolf - September 14, 2006 5:57 AM
In related news, a team of lawyers and accountants has been retained to determine how the community crack will be divided.
A higher-than-Paris-Hilton-after-working-all-day-on-an-empty-stomach Whitney commented, "Kiss mah ASS!!"
40. jrzmommy - September 14, 2006 5:58 AM
Hopefully the family dog or the maid will get custody of their daughter.
41. Praz - September 14, 2006 6:03 AM
Is she still alive? She's not on drugs, she's just full of embalming fluid.

I DON'T BUY IT! Not one bit of it. They've done this a million times...

whitney called with a comment for the superficial...
"KISS MY AAAAASS!!!"

Talk about shutting the barn door after the horse is out.
Whitney, would have been nice if you'd dumped the guy before you became a crackhead and he blew most of your money, but better late than never. Now take a page out of Christey Brinkley's book. Looking good and handling yourself well is the best revenge. Get off the drugs, take some time and release a kick ass CD because you know Bobby will be singing at Bar Mitzva's to pay the rent.
46. Trixie - September 14, 2006 7:37 AM
I disagree with all of you..I think Whitney was the crazy one in this relationship. I did a complete turn about once I saw how fucked up she was on the tv show. I think Bobby has been the patient one and he was committed to her even though she was spiraling out of control...I mean, he even wiped her ass at her command..What a great guy.
47. commissioner - September 14, 2006 9:10 AM
He wiped her ass? Is he dating anyone yet?
48. HolisticWisdomcom - September 14, 2006 11:22 AM
There are some couples that seem to bring out the worst in one another. They seemed to be the perfect example of this. Perhaps they will make some positive changes for themselves because I just want to dance with somebody.

She has filed for Separation, NOT divorce yet, but most likely will go later file for divorce. And they were married 12, not 14 years.
50. Spunkbubble on J. Alba's chest - September 14, 2006 7:47 PM
AND IIIIIIIII EEEEE IIIIIIIIII EEEEE IIIIII WILL ALWAYS SMOKE CRAAAAAAAAAAAA---EEEEEEEEE--AAAAAAAAACKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
51. Larry - September 15, 2006 8:00 AM
So what's going on here? Brown's mouthpiece says it's a separation, but Houston's spokes-jew says that it's a divorce.
Meanwhile, this will change ... what exactly? ... for Whitney Houston? She's ratcheted so tightly on the pipe that it'll take a fifty pound monkey wrench to unfasten her. Apparently, once upon a time someone fooled Whitney into thinking that a crack pipe was a vagina, and it's all been downhill from there.
52. blueskiesandpalmtrees - September 15, 2006 11:25 AM
Well everyone out there in a really CRAPPY marriage, we finally have a cure all for those of you that don't have the balls to go through with the divorce. Get on your own reality show and you too can join the masses that end up in divorce.. "Whitney & Bobby", "Jess & Nick", "Travis & Shanna". Maybe Carmen is next?
53. Fatty_McButterpants - September 15, 2006 2:29 PM
I'm convinced that Whitney Houston looks like and IS, a Wookie.
54. herbiefrog - September 15, 2006 3:31 PM
remind me...
is she worth saving?
55. TaiTai - September 16, 2006 7:51 AM
I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you! No way you could have seen this coming. For 14 years.
56. HollywoodSnark - April 11, 2007 1:08 PM
well, good for her...i guess....i expect them to be back together by the end of the week
