Whitney & Bobby Do Reality?

(Sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it?)

Troubled showbiz couple Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown are reportedly filming a reality TV series tracking their recent tumultuous lives.

R&B singer Brown, who was recently released from jail, is hoping to sell the footage to a network in the US.

It will feature Whitney, who recently left a rehabilitation clinic, and the couple's 11-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina.

A spokeswoman for Whitney said the venture was "Bobby's project", but added that Whitney was
happy to take part.

A film crew with Brown's Atlanta-based company, B2 Entertainment, were seen filming the family while they were dining out last week.

Whitney, 40, checked into rehab last month. She later left the clinic, saying she was still under the terms of a treatment programme.

According to her spokesman she is allowed "approved outings" under her programme.

Grammy-winning Houston admitted in December 2002 that she abused cocaine, pills, and marijuana. But she claimed to have beaten her "demons" with the help of a spiritual adviser.

Brown, meanwhile, was locked up last month for violating the terms of his probation. Among those violations were an alleged attack on Houston which left her with a bruised cheek and a cut inside her lip.

Brown, 35, is due in court on May 5 on battery charges related to the alleged attack.


"Alleged attack." Hah. My alleged left ear! You know it'll be quality programming.
