Brown Out: Bobby Brown stormed out of Whitney Houston's funeral after he and his entourage of nine were disrespected by security. He released a statement saying, “My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston. We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions. I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no one else to move. Security then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi-Kristina. In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene. My children are completely distraught over the events. This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur. I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.”

Pregnant women should get dogs. Not just to prepare for a double-threat of cuteness post delivery, but because dogs lead to the right amount of exercise for expectant mothers. Researchers at the University of Liverpool found that pregnant women were 50 percent more likely to achieve the recommended amount of physical activity if they had a puppy around. The low-risk exercise of walking the dog can help women who may otherwise find it hard to meet their exercise targets.
