BOBBAY AND WHITNAY BATTLE FOR CUSTODY! » Bobby Brown claims in a lawsuit that Whitney Houston has kept him from seeing their teenage daughter.
“I have not seen or spoken to my daughter since early June and I have no prospect of speaking to her anytime soon due to Whitney’s actions,” Brown declared in Orange County Superior Court filings released last week.
Brown has been trying to overturn a judge’s default judgment to nullify the couple’s marriage and grant Houston sole custody of 14-year-old Bobbi Kristina. During a court hearing in April, Houston testified that Brown was “unreliable” and that she didn’t need spousal or child support. Brown disputes her claim, saying he’s been involved in their daughter’s life and was her primary caretaker when the couple lived in Atlanta. When Houston moved to Orange County to undergo drug rehabilitation, Brown said he paid about $10,000 for his wife and daughter to stay at a posh hotel. “At the same time, I basically lived out of my car,” Brown said. In other court filings obtained by the syndicated entertainment TV show “Extra,” Houston disputes that she is keeping Brown and their daughter apart and says she “would like him to be involved” in Bobbi Kristina’s life. “Frankly, I needed to be divorced from him so that I could get my life back on track,” the singer said.

EVE HAS LEARNED HER LESSON! » She’s been wearing her alcohol monitoring device for a month, but Eve said she can’t get used to the hefty ankle bracelet. “It’s the most annoying thing,” she told PEOPLE Tuesday night at Tao Nightclub in Las Vegas. “When they told me I was getting it on, I thought it was going to be like a beeper, but it’s like a pair of Bose headphones.” The 29-year-old rapper was ordered to wear the Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor (SCRAM) after striking a plea agreement for her DUI arrest in April. Eve will be allowed to remove the device on Sept. 8. At the Signature Apparel party for the Rocawear, Bellarock, and relaunch of Fetish, the SCRAM was hidden by her long, flowing pants.
Having to deal with a DUI in the public eye was “disgusting” enough, Eve said, but the hardest part: Telling her mom. “I’m still scared of her … [I] had to tell her before someone else told her or she saw it or heard it. I definitely learned my lesson,” she added. “It was a stupid situation, stupid decision. I did something dumb and now I’m paying for it … Don’t drink and drive kids.” CONTINUE READING
