Whitney & Bobby Reunite For Their Daughter

Recently Freed From Jail, Brown Celebrates Bobbi Kristina's 14th Birthday With Houston

(CBS/AP)  Released just last week from jail, troubled singer Bobby Brown and his soon-to-be ex, Whitney Houston, reunited at the posh Beverly Hills eatery Mr. Chow on Sunday with their daughter, Bobbi Kristina, to celebrate her 14th birthday.

Brown and Houston, who are divorcing after 14 years of marriage, left the swanky restaurant Sunday night with their smiling daughter. (To see video on the Web site TMZ, click here.)

But it doesn't look like the pair are headed for a reconciliation. A rep for Houston told The ShowBuzz Monday, "It was simply their daughter's birthday weekend. Two parents spending time with their daughter."

Birthday celebrations aside, times have been tough for Brown. On Friday, Brown and his attorney reneged on a deal that bailed him out of jail Thursday. Now the R&B singer owes nearly $20,000 to the Washington-area radio station that paid his bills.

The 38-year-old was released after three nights in jail when Hot 99.5 FM paid the $19,150 he owed in back child support on the condition that he appear on the radio show "The Kane Show" for a week.

The plan was that Brown was going to discuss the case and how he could turn his life around during studio appearances beginning Monday. But Brown backed out of an on-air phone interview with the morning show, saying he hadn't agreed to be an employee of the station.

"That wasn't our deal," said Brown, who hung up after Kane pressed him.

"We thought we clearly communicated to Bobby our intentions, but once we had him on the air this morning it was clear that we were not on the same page," said Kane, who goes by one name.

Both the station, which broadcasts in the Washington area, and Brown's attorney decided the deal wasn't in the singer's best interest and that Brown will return the money.

"We feel that there are better things we can do with the money locally," said Kane.

Brown was arrested while he was watching his Bobbi Kristina's cheerleading competition in Massachusetts last week.

Phaedra Parks, Brown's attorney in Atlanta, has said the singer has been struggling to meet monthly payments to Kim Ward, of Stoughton, Mass., the mother of two of his children.

This is latest in a series of child support troubles for Brown, a Boston native best known for the solo hit "Don't Be Cruel."

In 2004, he was sentenced to 90 days in prison for missing three months of payments, but the sentence was suspended after he paid about $15,000. He also paid $11,000 in delinquent child support in October after being threatened with arrest.

LOL
You are too funny about Whitney screams.
You would know a singing if it was in that bottle you've been sucking on in the hope of getting a life. LOL '

And there is something telling me that Whitney wouldn't diss Dolly, the chick with the oversize boobs, right? LOl

[shedhouserob-2009]

Mitch- 0927-
Your right I did misspell Dolly's last name. Must be the 6 beers I drank. But, I kept thinking that Whitney might pardon herself from being such a A.H. and ask for forgiveness. Signed- Idiot!

[mitch0927]

Hey shedhouserob,

If you're going to be critical you should get the name right. It is Dolly Parton, not Pardon. What an idiot.

[shedhouserob-2009]

these 2 coke heads should get what's coming to them. Whitney got her fame off of Dolly Pardon's song. When she was told Dolly would sometime like to sing it with her she sneered and said who is Dolly Pardon. Dolly is a lady Whitney, something you'll never be. Why you people scream when your supposedly singing is beyond me.

it is a good thing to see the media go after dead beat dads but I just wonder if the media gives the same kinda of coverage over some of the other stars also what can be done to help the children?

Deadbeat dads can be found anywhere, as seen in the case of Bobby Brown. It's sickening that some guys can just ignore their kids and what they need.
