“Gone Country” Stars Reunite for CMT’s Outsider’s Inn

(Press Release)

BEVERLY HILLS, CA July 9, 2008 When Maureen McCormick, Bobby Brown and Carnie Wilson leave their Hollywood homes behind and head south, it’s “Newhart” meets “The Simple Life” in the new CMT series, OUTSIDER’S INN, premiering Friday, August 15 at 9:00 p.m., ET/PT (regular timeslot will be Fridays at 8:30 p.m., ET/PT). With eight half-hour episodes, the unscripted comedy, OUTSIDER’S INN, documents the trials and tribulations that ensue when McCormick makes the unlikely decision to run a bed and breakfast in rural East Tennessee and enlists the help of her GONE COUNTRY friends, Brown and Wilson.

OUTSIDER’S INN begins when McCormick discovers an inn, dubbed Pigeon Manor, that overlooks the Great Smoky Mountains and decides to lease it with the option to buy. Realizing the gravity of this undertaking, McCormick brings in Brown and Wilson to assist her in this new endeavor. While McCormick manages the inn and property, she appoints Brown entertainment director and Wilson assumes the role of master chef. What could possibly go wrong when the trio without much time to settle into their roles must cater to the needs of real life houseguests and eclectic loca

Being Bobby Brown Won’t Make It To Home Video Thanks to Mean Ol’ Whitney

According to EURweb.com, Bobby Brown is very pissed that his ex-wife Whitney Houston won’t sign off on the release of the Bravo reality show, Being Bobby Brown to DVD. The problem, in a nutshell: now that Whitney is clean and getting her life together, she would prefer not to market moments like this:

and Bobby thinks it’s all good.

“Whitney blames the show for ruining her career and she won’t sign off on the contract to release the DVD,” Brown tells In Touch magazine. “There’s a lot of money to be made, but, because she won’t cooperate, we’ll never see it. I have a serious problem with that because it affects my income.” Legal troubles ain’t cheap, you know.

Bobby Brown Book Blames Whitney for His Loser Life

Singer and reality tv star Bobby Brown has written an autobiography which explains his flawed adult existence is the fault of his ex-wife, Whitney Houston.

In his yet to be released book, former boy band star, blames the pop diva on his addiction to drugs. According to the New York Post, in his book, titled Bobby Brown: The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But, he writes:

“I never used cocaine until after I met Whitney. Before then, I had experimented with other drugs, but marijuana was my drug of choice.” It wasn’t the gateway drug use that did him in, because I assume that he didn’t even know coke existed.

It’s kind of like a bank robber saying, “I would have never robbed a bank if I hadn’t got mixed up with bank robbers. Before then, all I did was shoplift, mug people, burglarize and carjack. And really, mugging old folks was my favorite thing.” The first step to making positive changes in your life is to blame someone else for your life. Thanks for sharing, Bobby.

He also says that he and Whitney got married for all the wrong reasons. No, she got married for the wrong reasons. She wanted to squash reasons that she was having a lesbian affair with her assistant. Admittedly, there was a lot of Whitney Houston is gay talk back then. But poor Bobby, he just “wanted to be loved and have children.” But Bobby actually has more kids out of wedlock than with Whitney, two of whom he was arrested for non-payment of child support.

For the record, Whitney Houston has taken the high road, and decided not to dignify any of this with a response. According to her rep she is “sad that Bobby feels the need to say such things, but she chooses to take the high road, and will not speak badly about the father of her child even if it’s to set the record straight.”

The book, which is being co-written (read: written by) Derrick Handspike, and is being self-published by Down South Books and distributed by Altas Books of Ohio will be released on June 1. Brown was mostly recently on the CMT reality show Gone Country and had his own reality show on Bravo, Being Bobby Brown.

He was also on this show in the U.K. but I don’t know if it ended well.
