I Beg Your Pardon, But The Time For A Response Song To An Old Pop Chestnut Is Long Overdue


If a cheeky keyboard-driven outfit were to craft a peppy minor hit out of an 18-year-old soft-rock song, similar to the way the Canadian outfit Kon Kan transformed Lynn Anderson's "I Never Promised You A Rose Garden" into their U.S. top 20 track "I Beg Your Pardon," what song would you pick to be rescued from the pop history books? Feel free to ponder this question while noting the lyrical back-and-forth between the Kon Kan track and the Anderson song, which I've placed after the jump. More »

Bobby Brown And "Little Mini Me" Usher Have A Complex, Violent Relationship

Bobby Brown's autobiography, The Truth, The Whole Truth, And Nothing But... should have been out by now (Amazon has its release date listed as June 1, but lists no copies as currently available), but there's tragically been no word on when the book will actually hit stores. Blackvoices.com has an advance copy, though, and they're sharing some interesting observations and anecdotes of Bobby's about Usher, the "little mini me" who "basically did my whole show." But that scuffle they had a while back? Please, it was no more of a fight than when Rick James and Charlie Murphy would get together. More »

"Whitney Got Me High!": Bobby Brown To Release The Male What's Love Go To Do With It?

"I never used cocaine until after I met Whitney!" cries thug lover Bobby Brown in his autobiography, Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But, out next month. Turns out his marriage to comeback hopeful Whitney Houston may have been a sham from the word go: "I think we got married for all the wrong reasons. Now, I realize Whitney had a different agenda than I did when we got married. ... I believe her agenda was to clean up her image, while mine was to be loved and have children." It seems the male Tina Turner ("she hits me more than I hit her," Brown told Today in '03) may also be the male Nicole Kidman. More »

That Might Not Be A Tear In Bobby Brown's Beer

So I was moving on Friday night and Maura was doing whatever it is she does during the baseball off-season and apparently the Idolator TiVo doesn't pick up CMT and so we missed the premier of Gone Country, the reality TV contest where the Rich half of Nashville duo Big & Rich tries to groom the likes of Dee Snider and Carnie Wilson to become America's Next Passable Country Singer. Thankfully, this MTV interview with Gone Country contestant Bobby Brown makes it sound like we can at least still look forward to the episode where Brown's overactive bladder lands Marcia Brady on her ass. Actually re-reading this we're not so sure why we're sorry. More »

Bobby Brown displays the patented charm that makes him a reality TV goldmine on stage in DC: "'Baltimore!' Brown shouted at one point. When the crowd failed to react, he asked, 'Where am I right now?' After figuring out he was playing to a Washington crowd, Brown said, 'They told me I was in Baltimore — I guess so I could come out here and embarrass myself.' The singer also played coy about his reported October heart attack: 'You all think I had a heart attack, but I'm all right. I made it.' " [Washington Post]

al-Qaeda Supposedly Targets Bobby Brown; Ralph Tresvant Reportedly "Shook"

Bobby Brown is taking the possibility of an al-Qaeda attack a little more seriously these days, he recently told Australian radio, because Osama bin Laden is hot for the bod of Brown's anal-irrigation-loving wife (and one-time pop singer) Whitney Houston. Here's where the "after living with Whitney, a multi-national terrorist organization should be no sweat" joke goes.

Liner Notes: Bobby Brown Has To Make It On His Own

- Bobby Brown had trouble remembering his song lyrics during a recent Hamptons gig. When in doubt, he should always hold close to that ancient Zen koan: "For while man may be too hot to handle, he is also, conversely, too cold to hold." [Page Six]
- The Cult has signed with New Wilderness, an imprint of Roadrunner Records; expect the group's new album, Duffy Or Doesn't He?, in September. [Billboard]
- Which speculative news item do you find more disturbing: The surge of incisor-equipped cicadas that are killing villagers in Latin America, or the possibility of a Wilmer Valderrama-Kevin Federline rap collaboration? [Gatecrasher]

Whitney Houston Ready To Go On The Rebound

Oh, Whitney! Didn't you truly, truly almost have it all? When you announced your separation yesterday afternoon, millions of hopeless romantics were left dejected; after all, if the couple that survived multiple drug arrests and rumors of crack-fueled homosexual hook-ups couldn't stay together after 14 years, what hope is there for the rest of us?
