Whitney Houston's secret love
Bobby Brown's sit-down Tuesday with 20/20 yielded many facts about the singer and his life with his wife, the great Whitney Houston.
Brown confirmed to Robin Roberts that Houston was romantically involved with childhood friend-turned-creative-director Robin Crawford. There had long been rumors of a relationship between the two.
Brown said Houston was attracted to him throughout their 14-year-marriage, but then he sadly admitted, "I really feel that if Robyn was accepted into Whitney's life, Whitney would still be alive today."
Queen guitarist: Trump not a 'Champion'
Brian May, guitarist for Queen and doctor of astrophysics (no, really), may not be able to vote in the coming U.S. presidential elections, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have an opinion about what's going on, especially when his musical reputation is at stake.
According to TMZ, the Englishman ain't happy that presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump has been using Queen's 1977 anthem "We Are the Champions" as his walkout music. May is thinking of taking legal action to stop the music. "I will make sure we take what steps we can to dissociate ourselves from Donald Trump's unsavory campaign," May said.
There's a long history of pop stars unhappy with candidates using their songs to stump. Bruce Springsteen decried President Ronald Reagan for using "Born in the U.S.A." The Boss told Reagan, to quote a great (fictional) Spanish fencer, "I do not think it means what you think it means."
Ali's family blasts scalpers
Who is deplorable enough to scalp tix to a funeral?
The family of Muhammad Ali are upset that scalpers are profiting from their patriarch, who died last week at the age of 74 after a 32-year battle with Parkinson's.
The family released 15,000 free tix to Ali's Louisville memorial service. But shortly after the tickets became available, scalpers started to put them on Craigslist for as much as $100.
"It is deplorable that some people are trying to profit off of the solemn service as we celebrate the life of Muhammad Ali," Ali family spokesman Bob Gunnell told the Associated Press.
The fine for scalping in Louisville is $250.
