Boston native Bobby Brown is known for many things. New Edition. A rather successful solo career. A tumultuous marriage with songbird Whitney Houston. A reality show in which Brown and Houston discussed highly inappropriate subjects on national television. Not paying child support.
These days, Brown is probably best known for the child support issue. Every time he sets foot in Massachusetts to see his children from a previous relationship, he winds up in the cooler because he hasn't paid child support.
Now, in a twist, Brown is campaigning to see his daughter with Houston, Bobbi Kristina, more often. He filed a lawsuit in California saying that he hasn't been able to see his daughter.
Houston testified in court that she didn't need child support from Brown and that she didn't want him around. Brown's exploits after his split with Houston - including jail for that little child support problem, spouting off about Osama bin Laden's affections for Houston, and a verbal attack on a UK television host - probably haven't helped his case.
A final custody decision will be made on October 22.
