Bobby Brown Tries To Overturn Whitney Houston Divorce, Is Denied

Yesterday, singer Bobby Brown's attempt to overturn his divorce with Whitney Houston in Orange County Court was denied.  A judge in California turned down Brown's request to change the terms ex-wife pop   diva Whitney Houston set forth in their divorce case.  Why? Brown didn't show up.

"His motion was denied because there were no appearances or phone calls from Mr. Brown today for a scheduled hearing," a spokeswoman for the Orange County Court said.  "As of now, there are no more pending court dates in this case."

In April, Houston was awarded sole custody of their daughter, 14-year-old Bobbi Kristina, after a default judgment left Brown with visitation rights and no financial awards.  Bobby sued Whitney a month later over the terms, but failed to show up for subsequent court dates.

What a contrast to the divorce proceedings of Shante and Cordozar Calvin Broadus, a.k.a. "Snoop Dogg."

Mr. Broadus filed for divorce in 2004 against his wife of seven years and mother of their three children. But in 2007 he reconciled with his wife, called off the divorce, and resumed his role as head of the family.

"I was caught up with Hollywood, and the girls and the night life," he told the World Entertainment News Network. "I thought I was 'the man' and I was willing to give up what I had at home for that, until I realized that what I had at home was irreplaceable, so I gave that up to go back home.

"I just don't want another man raising my kids. That was the main goal. I had kids with my wife because I wanted to be with my wife. And those three babies [Corde, Cordell and Coril] are all wanted, and I wanted to be with them."

Mr. Broadus embodies many of the pathologies of the contemporary ghetto, but - bless his heart - he "gets" fatherhood.
