Bobby Brown was arrested for DUI this afternoon, TMZ is reporting.  Bobby was pulled over for talking on his cell phone and police took him in under “suspicion” of driving under the influence.

This is Bobby’s second DUI arrest, but the previous one was way back in 1996.

He’s currently in Van Nuys, but TMZ says his “people” are on the way to bail him out.  There’s no word on what substance he was under the influence of.

After learning of mom Whitney Houston’s death, Bobbi Kristina Brown had a breakdown and was taken to Cedars Sinai Hospital.  Bobby Brown rushed back to Los Angeles (he’s currently touring with New Edition) to console his daughter, 18.

“My daughter did visit with doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles,” her father Bobby Brown says in a statement.

“She has been released and is presently with my family including her siblings.”

“Obviously the death of her mother is affecting her. However we will get through this tragedy as a family.”

Whitney’s funeral is said to be later this week in New Jersey.

‘New Edition’ singer Bobby Brown was seen waiting for his family outside of a hotel in Miami, Flor., Monday, March 21. Bobby played around with his son Cassius and talked with his fiance Alicia Etheridge while valet packed up their car.

Lately, Bobby has been making the media rounds, attempting to diffuse the media attention on his 18-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina, and her alleged drug habits. Though Bobbi Kris has taken to her Twitter account to refute claims that her parents are forcing her to go to rehab after the National Enquirer released photos of her and friends allegedly snorting cocaine.

Really? Really Bobby, really?

Singer Bobby Brown refuses to believe his teenage daughter is struggling with substance abuse issues. He swears his 18-year-old daughter “doesn’t do drugs”.

Bobbi Kristina, whose mother is Whitney Houston, found herself at the center of a drug scandal last week when the National Enquirer obtained damning shots of a youngster alleged to be the teenager apparently taking cocaine at two different parties.

Kristina has since taken to her Twitter.com page to slam the reports, blaming an ex-boyfriend for setting her up to make it look as though she’s indulging in drugs.

She wrote, “A former very dear person to me did this. Set me up to make it look exactly what it looks like… But it’s really not what it looks like. People will do anything for money which is extremely sad, and I’m very hurt by this.”

What I find amazing is that Bobby Brown refuses to believe it. He and ex-wife Whitney famously struggled with drug addiction for YEARS, and it happened right in front of their daughter, Bobbi. Of course Bobbi is going to have issues!

Bobby tells ABC News, “I don’t know anything about that… I don’t know anything. My daughter doesn’t do that.”

Bobby Brown and his girlfriend Alicia Etheridge are expecting a baby, his agent Ravi Dabiesingh confirms to Usmagazine.com. It will be the actor’s fifth child. “Yes, Bobby is expecting his fifth child from Alicia,” Dabiesingh tells Us. “There aren’t too many details out there right now, but we do know he is very excited, as Bobby is big on family. The sex of the baby is not known yet, and we can confirm she is four months along.”

Brown started dating Etheridge in 2007. He split with Whitney Houston in 2006. They have one daughter, 15-year-old Bobbi Kristina. The “My Prerogative” singer has three children from other relationships: Landon, LaPrincia and Bobby Jr.

Bobby Brown’s son Landon has revealed his former stepmother, Whitney Houston, treated him like an employee when he went to stay with the former couple.

Landon Brown says Houston was a “nightmare” to grow up with, refusing to accept him as a member of her family.

He tells the National Enquirer that his former stepmom insisted he slept in a guest house when he came to stay – and refused to let him spend time with her daughter – his half-sister – Bobbi Kristina.

He says, “Whitney and I never really got along. She didn’t necessarily hate me, but she wouldn’t really speak to me either. In Whitney’s eyes, I was the stepchild.”

He adds, “She decided to turn me into one of her security personnel. I was a teenager but I was walking around dressed up in all black with a Security shirt and she’d have me work for her. I was just another one of her staff.”

Being Bobby Brown just a got a bit more interesting. In his controversial upcoming autobiography, “Being Bobby Brown: The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But…” the troubled pop star admits to everything from getting together with Janet Jackson to nearly dying from a drug overdose. But the one thing Bobby, 39, won’t ’fess up to is insulting his ex-wife, famed singer Whitney Houston, 44. “I don’t have anything bad to say about her,” says Bobby. “She should have no worries. There’s no mess in this book.”

Exactly how dirty the former couple’s laundry is, seems relative. “The book is really good. I’m not a complex person,” he says. “I’m just trying to maintain a certain amount of integrity — and a certain amount of bad boy-ness.” Bobby’s tell-all addresses issues such as Whitney’s alleged drug use, rumors about her sexuality and their much-publicized divorce. The R&B crooner is candid about his motives. “I think the story needs to be told from my point of view,” he says. “I still have kids that are in school right now so I have to do what I have to do. Daddy doesn’t stop working.” Bobby’s new book is scheduled to hit stores on May 13. He’s also working on a new album. “I’m in a perfect place right now,” he says. “I’m really happy — that’s why I’m having a beer.”
