Whitney and Bobby...

Media whores...Attention seekers, publicity stunts? With the eye of the world awaiting the demise of the cultures most celebrated, critized couple, why don't we pray for the salvation of marriage?

Yes, it is most embarrasing to see our beloved childhood stars display their ignorace for all to see. But IMO, that is just a cry for help. We've laughed at (and with) the Browns' and felt sympathy for dear ole Bobbi Cristina. We prayed for Whitney and see signs of recovery. We anticipate her return to the music scene, whether it's to see if she still has it or for comic relief. She's a music mogul's dream; with 175x's platinum, no writing or publishing rights, who wouldn't try and keep her from her vice(Mr. Houston) to resurrect her career? We all know the best music is created when one is facing demons or truly in love. I'm assuming her record will be faboulous, provided it comes out. Her voice maybe a little different, but the both the pleasure and pain would most definitely shine thru.

It is all to a familiar scenario played out in all of America; families breaking up, especially in the Black community. This Hollywood couple has out lasted many celebrity marriages, both Black and White. Yes, it is a slap in the face for Whitney that her 'king of R&B' has leaned on the shoulder of his once jezebel. But isn't it customary for us to rely on friends for support when our back is against the wall? While Superhead may have not been the best choice of couch to sleep on, it is time she repaid Whit for the money she'd borrowed years ago. While it's no secret, hell, she wrote a book detailing tryst she's had with many a celebrity, Bobby may have been one of her favorites. Since we all know Bobby wasn't generating any new money, any money previously spent on Karrine was from Whit's stash. She profitted from her book, Confessions of a Video Vixen, so she can afford to spend some on 'charity'.

Let's now hold hands and sing the chorus to "We Shall Overcome" and pray Whit and Bobby make amends. Heaven only knows who else could handle their foolishness. They are more powerful together, ala Hillary and William Clinton, and if she can forgive her husband nationally, I think there's hope for the Brown's. Some people believe she'd be much better without him, but anyone knows a recovering addict becomes sick without their medicine, and Bobby is the reliever to Whit's problems.

If DMX's wife can stick by his side, there is hope. I've never seen a crack couple completly separate (in my hood), anyways. The damage has already been done, lets kiss and make up...
