Sheesh, Bobby Brown has no sense of humor. Whitney Houston's drug-addled ex-hubbie recently appeared on Britain's 24 Hours With... in which celebrities spend - you guessed it - 24 hours with dreamboat host, Jamie Campbell.
Former jailbird Brown has more than his fair share of sharing smalls spaces with other men, which leads Campbell to ask how he compares with Brown's former cell mates. For some reason, Brown tells the entirely innocuous Campbell, "You're dangerous", to which Campbell replies, "I haven't tried any sex moves yet." Not known for his social grace, progessive politics or rationality, Brown flies into a childish, nearly tearful, "I will fuck you up"-filled rage. It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic. Of the entire experience, Campbell tells The Mirror, "It was quite an intense experience in there. It was scary, but we got through it." Campbell's also spent some 24 hours with Stan Collymore, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and David Gest - a man we find far more frightful than foolish Brown.
• It's a miracle! We have tomorrow off. Yes, we know, it's going to be hard for you to go three whole days without our sparkling text. So, to tide you over, here's a little montage from everyone's favorite gay bank robber love story, Plata Quemada. Just pretend we're with you, readers. We'll be back before you know it...
• If you guys don't know rapper Tippy, you should. Seriously, because she's going to be big and it you follow this link, you can tell all your friends about her and look really cool. Not that you're not cool, but a little extra proof never hurts...
• Billy Packer's response to the "fag out" comment? No, he didn't in the gay sense. Yes, he'll continue saying it. No, he won't apologize. Yes, he's a douche bag. Okay, we added that last bit, but it's still true.
• George Michael's in Texas visiting boyfriend Kenny Goss' hometown. And, we're sure, get arrested for either smoking pot, driving recklessly or cottaging. Or, possibly, all three.
• Some nutter walked around the Milwaukee Art Museum for a few hours, removed his shirt, thus revealing numerous tattoos (including one of Koko the gorilla), took the Ottavio Vannini's "The Triumph of David" off the wall and started to kick it. Why did he get so violent with a $300,000 art classic? Because it "disturbed" him. And, as we mentioned, he's a total crazy man.
• More Soulforce arrests! This time three activists got nabbed at Bob Jones University.
• VHS is officially dead. (PS: Did you know VHS was still alive?)
• Whitney Houston won custody of her daughter. As if you're surprised.
• GLAAD released a statement on The Dog House/A Brief Smile scandal. Not surprisingly, they made no mention of our story. They may have forgotten us, but we'll never forget them.
• Speaking of forgetting - did you forget to come to the Queerty-sponsored (and Genre, too), Jimmy Im spun, eastern bloc-housed, Svedka-soaked Good Times last night? Well, see what you missed, after the jump...

We've received countless emails, telephone calls, smoke signals and telepathic messages from readers begging for Andrew Sullivan's reaction to Ann Coulter's twitchy, defensive appearance on Hannity and Colmes.
Well, the wait is over, patient readers, because old Sullivan's finally put down that bong and released his statement on Coulter's statement that her statement was just a joke.

That's right, kids, we're getting all emotional on your asses. Over the next few weeks we'll be taking a little look at sex and love in The Emotions Issue. We've chose to open it up with a video of Whitney Houston's "So Emotional" not only because we love the song, but because we think Houston's words capture the complexities of love.
As the title suggests, she gets so "emotional", but never does she say "love". To us, love's less an emotion and more of a concept made of myriad emotions: frustration, jealousy, confusion, anger, elation. The list goes on. Over the next few weeks we'll take a little look at all those and more.
Don't expect mawkish love tales - although, there may be one or two. We're getting down to the nitty gritty, looking at all the passions, sentiments and feelings that go into that great abstract notion.
Also, we loved sharing your youthful pictures during The Youth Issue, so we're going to try something similar with The Emotions Issue. We want you kids to send in pictures of people, places and things you love and, of course, why. Don't send in a picture of you and your boyfriend or girlfriend and say, "I love Chris". We want concrete reasons here, kids - not only does it give us a sick thrill, but it forces you to reflect on why you get so emotional. Hopefully it won't lead to any breakups.
Tune in Monday for the first actual installment of The Emotions Issue: our boffo interview with John Waters!

Sure, we love hot new bands as much as the next fag, but that doesn't mean we've given up on our old favorites. We suspect you haven't, either.
The sun's beginning to droop, we're all feeling pretty low, so let's take a second for some self-affirming inspiration from Ms. Houston. Don't be afraid to sing along.
Yeah, we know it's way gay, but so are you...

Sometimes we like to imagine that Elton John watches over us like some wise fairy godfather. Is that weird? Probably.
Anyway, it seems his attention's focused on newly liberated (and hopefully sober) Whitney Houston and Clay Aiken (who, we must say, garners a astonishingly high amount of comments. Don't you care about science and politics?).
On the first part of a two part interview on Access Hollywood, the first name in news, Mr. John offers his thoughts on the stars and their respective woes. Of Houston, John says:
Bobby's not good for her, and because of the addiction thing, she keeps going back. The writing was on the wall many, many years ago with that one.
As for Aiken - well, since you like him so much, why don't you follow the link and find out?
The first segment of John's interview airs Friday. Mark you calendars.

While it's completely speculative and based on nothing but Hollywood gossip, it seems Whitney Houston has filed papers to separate from that ol' crackhead Bobby Brown. This had better be true, because if our hopes of getting the old Whitney back are dashed we'll be forced to go on a rampage, lashing out at anyone in our sight. Luckily, we're usually alone, so it will be self-inflicted. Cross your fingers for divorce! (Although, the odds of Brown stringing enough words together to form a coherent, persuasive sentence seem pretty slim.)

It's mid-afternoon: the time in the day when we get a little droopy. To give ourselves a little boost, we've thrown on a little old school Whitney Houston (pictured, in happier times). She may be a drug addict mess whose squandering of talent defies comprehension, but we still love her. It's almost as if her every note carries an aurally intoxicating bump.
We're sure you're beginning to fade, too. So, tell us what you're listening to right now?. Or, better yet, which artists keep you from collapsing into a useless puddle of useless (yet adorable, we're sure) muck?

Top Three Biggest Goofs In Modern Pop Culture History:
3) President Clinton: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."
2) Naomi Campbell poses for PETA, but then wears fur anyway.
1) Whitney Houston sings for anti-drug campaign. Although we don't blame her, the whole "Just Say No" thing was kitchy-cool fun from the beginning. The video is pretty funny, if nothing else.
