BOBBY BROWN STORMS OUT OF WHITNEY’S FUNERAL

Whitney Houston’s funeral packed the inside of Newark’s New Hope Baptist Church Saturday. But one notable person who was absent from the crowd was her ex-husband Bobby Brown.

A witness said Brown “was allowed to go in, pay his respects and then he had to leave. He was red-eyed going up to the casket and then left. He was there for 15 minutes.”

Brown has released an official statement, explaining the situation in full.

“My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston. We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions. I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no one else to move. Security then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi Kristina. In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene. My children are completely distraught over the events. This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.”

A source disclosed that there is still underlying tension between Houston’s relatives and Brown.

There are family members who felt Bobby drove Whitney into drugs,” one source explained. “But now Bobby is clean and Whitney has unfortunately passed. So there’s resentment.”

Fabio Capello resigns

Fabio Capello resigned as England manager after an explosive meeting in the FA chairman’s office, leaving the way clear for Harry Redknapp to succeed him.

On one of the most extraordinary days in the history of English football, Redknapp was cleared of all tax evasion charges at Southwark Crown Court just hours before the Italian walked into showdown talks with David Bernstein at Wembley.

Bernstein was furious with Capello for an outburst on Italian television in which he challenged the authority of the FA by criticising their decision to strip John Terry of the captaincy.

Demi Moore Bore Witness to Miley Cyrus' Penis Cake Fellatio

The saga of the former Disney princess and the penis cake birthday party just keeps getting weirder.

As you no doubt know by now, Miley Cyrus was recently photographedpretending to fellate a birthday cake in the shape of a penis at her boyfriend's January 14th birthday party in downtown L.A. We don't fault her for it -- who hasn't pretended to lick an X-rated confection or two in their youth?

But as it turns out, TMZ reports that standing close by the sugary slab of manhood was 49-year-old Demi Moore. Yes, that's the same Demi Moore who was just hospitalized for a bad reaction to whip-its. Moore was reportedly there with her 23-year-old daughter, Rumer, and was nursing Red Bulls all night.

Since her whip-its mishap, Moore has been released from the hospital and is undergoing spiritual counseling. Here's hoping that it includes washing the remaining traces of Ashton Kutcher out of her hair and returning to her rightful place as one of Hollywood's most fabulous 40-something ladies.
