Bobby Brown Gets Invite to Whitney Houston's Funeral
When friends and family gather to wish music legend Whitney Houston a final farewell on Saturday, Bobby Brown will be among those in attendance. It took some doing, but the R&B singer has been officially invited to his ex-wife’s funeral, according to a report from TMZ.Divided on whether or not to issue an invite to Brown, the Houston family eventually decided that Whitney’s ex should be among the 300 or so guests at the private ceremony, which will be held at the New Hope Baptist Church in Houston’s hometown of Newark, NJ.
A Houston family source told TMZ, “At the last minute, the family felt that it would keep the peace at the funeral [to have Bobby there] ... even though some family members were against it.”
In the days following Houston’s death it was widely reported that Brown, who was married to the Grammy Award winning songstress from 1992 to 2007, was not in good favor with the Houston family. He was allegedly kept from seeing the couple’s 18-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, even after the teen was hospitalized following the death of her mother.
Despite the apparent turbulent relationship between Brown and the Houston clan, differences will be set aside as everyone bids farewell to Whitney. Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder will sing at the ceremony. Clive Davis, the music mogul responsible for discovering Houston, will speak at the service, which will be televised and streamed online.

"It's over. But it was all in the art of Hip Hop," Common said in an interview with Touré for Fuse Network. "He said some things to me so I had to say some things back."
When asked if it was Drake who started the whole mess, however, Common stopped short of assigning blame.
"I wouldn't say [he started it] but I know I heard something that I felt was directed to me so I addressed it. That's all. But you know, thank God we were able to move forward from it and all is good."
Previously, Common had said he didn't know how the beef would end, and even admitted to liking Drake's music.

50 Cent feeds children as part of his Street King campaign
50 Cent is putting his money where his mouth is.The rapper and philanthropist has traveled to Africa to create awareness around hunger and poverty issues as a part of his Street King campaign.
Fifty is currently traveling through Kenya and Somalia, accompanied by ABC News reporter Dan Harris, who is documenting the journey for Nightline.
The G-Unit general posted pictures to his Facebook and Twitter account yesterday that show him during a visit to a refugee camp in Somalia. "At times today, this confident rapper was left speechless," Harris tweeted of that particular visit.
Part of 50’s mission in Africa is to rally awareness for the impoverished nations, and he did so by showing proof in photos he posted to his Facebook account. “I’m in Somalia this week to show the world the devastation that is taking place,” he wrote. “Children going hungry everyday, even dying everyday from hunger. I am going to keep sending thru images from out here. I need you to take these photos and re-post to your friends. The world needs to see what is going on.”
Street King is an energy shot created by 50, partial proceeds of which go to battling hunger in impoverished countries. In recent months, the rapper has devoted much of his star power to generating support for the drink and its cause.
Nate Dogg Associate Says Celeb Friends Bailed on Healthcare Bill
After a judge ordered the estate of the late hip hop legend Nate Dogg to pay an Orange County, California hospital nearly $300,000 in unpaid bills, United Music and Media Group CEO David Michery says he's the one who's been left with the hefty tab.
Michery, a close associate of the West Coast rap icon, tells TMZ that he signed on the dotted line to take on the healthcare debt because no one else in Nate Dogg's life would step up.
"I was the only person who would come forward because I didn’t want him to die," Michery said. "Me and Nate have 20 years history together and I did what everyone should have done and tried to save his life ... not let him get kicked out in the streets and die." Michery added that "none of Nate's so-called rapper friends" offered to chip in to help.
Nate Dogg was cared for by CareMeridian hospital between 2008 and 2010 after he suffered a second stroke. The hip hop singer died last year from ongoing complications.
Reached by TMZ, known close friend and Nate Dogg collaborator Warren G said he did all he could for his fallen friend, but simply couldn't afford to take on his healthcare bills.
"I rode with Nate 'til the end ... I did what I could do for him with other things financially," Warren said. "If I was able to pay for his hospital bill, I would have. I made several calls to numerous people for help. I love Nate ... he's my brother." Michery said he plans to pay the debt by releasing several previously unheard Nate Dogg songs, which he says are in his possession.
