OK I'm not one for the celeb gossip, but did I just hear that Bobby Christina is awake

[malaise]

Is this possible?

[Siwsan]

1. I checked the two "best" sources for breaking celebrity news - Daily Mail and TMZ

Nothing, as of now. If she does come out of the coma, I'd have serious doubts about her functionality. It sounds like she was without oxygen for quite a while. Very, very sad situation.

2. Bobbi Kristina Brown 'Awake,' Father Says

Singer Bobby Brown told a concert crowd in Grand Prairie, Texas, on Saturday that his daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown is "awake," according to a video posted on TMZ. "I can say today, Bobbi is awake. She's watching me," he said to a cheering crowd. Kristina Brown has been in a coma for nearly three months since her partner, Nick Gordon, found her facedown and unresponsive in the bathtub in her Atlanta home. The New York Daily News reported that it was unclear exactly what her father meant by saying "She's watching me," and neither did TMZ. On April 11 in Los Angeles, he said: "I dunno what the hell I am going through right now, but I am giving it to God and letting him deal with it."

6. All this coming from Brown side of family.. While three days ago I'd read Whitney's mother & sister

were fighting Brown over possibly ending the life support.

Who knows?... I am not optimistic given the reports of her extended anoxia, but I surely don't want to see tragedy compounded.

7. Well I assume that her father has way more rights than her grandparent and grandaunt

I thought she was off life support

[hlthe2b]

8. He does have medical legal authority as her father.

I suspect they pushed the issue and that is why she is off the ventilator.... That she is alive and retains at least lower motor neuron brain function allowing her to breathe on her own (and possibly more upper brain function) is hopeful, but I suspect Brown has a lot of reasons to be overly optimistic.

Still, I'd love to see the most positive outcome possible for Bobbi Kristina.

3. That's what her father said at a concert.

Bobby Brown told concertgoers Saturday night that his daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown is awake nearly three months after she was found face down and unresponsive in a tub at her Georgia home.

In a video, Brown tells the crowd during a concert appearance at the Verizon Theatre in Dallas, Texas, that "Bobbi is awake," adding that "she is watching me." The crowd screamed after his remark.

Brown's family has said she's "fighting for her life" since she was found unresponsive Jan. 31. The 21-year-old Bobbi Kristina is the only daughter of Brown and the late Whitney Houston.

Bobbi Kristina Brown has been moved to an undisclosed location since being released last month from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.

Brown's attorney, Christopher Brown, declined to comment.

4. I read somewhere that Bobby Brown announced it at a concert

But it's not confirmed by anyone else.

Okay - City Lights beat me to it.

[cali]

5. that would be wonderful. I'd love it if it were true.

Very rarely does any celebrity stuff make me sad, but Bobby Christina's coma is something I find heartbreaking. Last time I felt that way was when Heath Ledger OD'd.

Unfortunately, it seems unlikely.

[mercuryblues]

9. unfortunately

being awake does not equal normal brain function. Even though I wish her and her family the best, her oxygen depravation does not bode well for a recovery.

[cbdo2007]

10. He also said, "She's watching me right now." so who knows wth he means?

He was in a concert and is constantly filming reality shows, so I think his views on "reality" are a bit skewed.

[Sedona]

11. two words...

Terri Schivo.

[malaise]

12. So where's Jeb Bush??

[justamama83]

13. I was thinking the same thing.

I had a flash of that sad picture of Terri with her eyes open but totally vacant stare. Whatever made her Terri was long gone. I hope for the best for Bobbi but as someone said it sounds as if she were deprived of oxygen for far too long.

[pipi_k]

15. That would be

my (admittedly unprofessional) opinion as well.

[CatWoman]

14. Bobby Brown just needs to put down the crack pipe

16. As predicted, Cissy Houston: "Bobbi Kristina's Brain Damage 'Irreversible' Remains Unresponsive"

Bobbi Kristina is suffering from irreversible global brain damage and is completely unresponsive ... so says her grandmother Cissy Houston.

Cissy tells TMZ, "Meeting with the doctors and understanding that she can live in this condition for a lifetime truly saddens me."

She squarely contradicts Bobby Brown, who claims Bobbi is off life support and somewhat responsive.

Cissy tells us, "I have just returned from visiting my granddaughter Bobbi Kristina in the hospital and while she is no longer in a medically induced coma she has a tracheotomy and according to the doctors she has global and irreversible brain damage and remains unresponsive."

17. How sad

They should let the poor girl die in peace

[hlthe2b]

19. Indeed. Incredibly so...

[TBF]

18. Sad case ~ and you know with all that money at

stake it is hard to tell who is really looking after her interests.
