Report: Bobby Brown peddling tell-all book about life with Whitney Houston

Less than two weeks after the death of his ex-wife, singer Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown is back in the spotlight. A new report is surfacing that Brown, who wrote a tell-all back in 2008 about his life with the pop star, is working to get the book published.

While interest in the couple was fading at the time he wrote the book, Brown's recent return to the spotlight after Houston’s Feb. 11 death brings a better market for the story and a chance for Brown to cash in.

Says one major publisher to the Huffington Post, “Now is the time for a book that details an honest look into the life of Whitney."

Brown and Houston’s tumultuous marriage began in 1992, around the time her film career took off with “The Bodyguard.” Brown’s musical headlines were soon eclipsed by his ongoing battle with drugs and alcohol, and Houston had her own substance struggles. The two divorced in 2007.

I had also read that at the funeral he left early because they wouldn't give him a seat up front.

He's a dickhead and needs to disappear. I hope Whitney's family can intervene on the raising of their child because that kid needs good role models.

I guess no one has the nerve to tell this dope "too soon".

I'm sure he will conveniently forget the various times he assaulted her.

peddling a book about her affair with the late President.
She received wonderful coverage from the media and she has not been called a scumbag.

kennedy has also been dead for years and people just don't really care.

also it's worse when some close family or friend does something like this.
