Being Bobby Brown has had better episodes. After experiencing severe chest pains a few weeks ago, Brown was taken to two different hospitals before finally being admitted for having a mild heart attack.The 38 year-old singer and former member of ‘80s R&B boy band New Edition has no history of heart problems as doctors attributed the attack to stress and diet, despite what many must have thought upon hearing the news. Since Brown has been known to use drugs along with ex-wife, ex-diva Whitney Houston (looking like her old self again with daughter Bobby Christina pictured below), it’s not a stretch to wonder if the years of abuse played a part in the struggling health of such a young man.
With the days of “Candy Girl” and “Mr. Telephone Man” flashing before his eyes in a hospital bed in Tarzana, California, he made a goodbye video just in case he didn’t pull through. When asked to tell if there were any secrets to tell, he admitted his love for his girlfriend/manager, declared that the heart attack was not brought on by drugs, claiming he’s been clean for over 2 years, and gave Whitney two final words in the form of a vulgar gesture.Bobby has received a great prognosis from his doctors and should fully recover, giving him the opportunity to become the "captain of country?"
We'll find out during the course of a new reality show. The CMT series "Gone Country" will star the former New Edition member as he tries his hand at wooing a hillbilly loving audience.
A group of d-list celebrities will all live together in a Nashville mansion and after a couple of weeks, the celebrity considered to be the best suited to go before a country audience will get to record and release a song. The six-episode series will begin airing in January, 2008, just in time for the custody battle to subside and maybe a promise never to return to VH-1 to do another "Being Bobby Brown."
