Bobby Brown to Go Country

Hell has frozen over. Bobby Brown has decided to try his luck at the country music business. And yes, it includes cowboy hats, yee-haws and the whole shebang. Houston, we may have a problem.

Bobby has reportedly signed up for the new CMT show ‘Gone Country’ where John Rick will attempt to re-invent the career of Bobby Brown as a country superstar. What the heck?

Carnie Wilson, Dee Snider, Sisqo, Julio Iglesias Jr. and former American Idol hopeful Diana DeGarmo are also set to be part of the show. There are some mighty questionable names on that list. And Bobby is definitely leading the pack.

Mandisa Gets Respect

While some of her fellow Idol wannabes are off playing high-profile gigs at malls and housing developments, please do note the sarcasm, Season 5 castoff Mandisa rocked the house at a South Carolina fair.

The big-voiced diva was the headliner for the Fall for Greenville festival last week. She sang covers of classics including Aretha Franklin’s ‘Respect’. She may have gotten the respect of the crowd because of that but it looks like respect is something that she and Simon Cowell will not give to each other. Ouch.

But hey, way to represent all the big and beautiful ladies out there by still working hard doing what they love.
