“It was wrong for me not to inform my manager … about my whereabouts, especially when I am usually so routine and big on communication, but I felt a little lost and needed to get away, …”
“…after an incident at a nightclub where he had expected to open for the headlining act. “I felt that that was my chance to prove that I was talented and I was really excited,” Brown said. “When I was told that I couldn’t perform… that really hurt. … It got a bit overwhelming and I needed to be alone.”
SMH
Can you say “spoiled brat?!” He better be glad I’M NOT HIS MAMA.
Who does he THINK he is?? Because HE COULDN’T SHOW OFF HIS TALENT (which is subjective), he felt he had the right to act like the child HE DIDN’T THINK HE WAS?? I mean I’m glad the boy is ok, but to know this brat had a tantrum at 20…whatever.
Yep…he’s a diva in the making.
Question-This kid is working in conjunction works with Raven Symone, and Disney, right?
Doesn’t he make enough money to be able to showcase HIMSELF??
*I guess that’s two questions*
I know folks out here in Detroit, who put their little nickels together, and put together shows all the time…and they’re common folks.
Is it really that serious?
Get over yourself, YOU SPOILED BRAT!
The only reason your story hit mainstream (CNN), is because of the ridiculous reason behind your disappearance! Now, when a black person disappears for real, mainstream media will CONTINUE to discount us ant not take us serious…your episode sure didn’t help us.
GROW UP, KID!

“I never used cocaine until after I met Whitney. Before then, I had experimented with other drugs, but marijuana was my drug of choice…”
“Miss Houston is sad that Bobby feels he needs 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.”
Van Meter died Saturday of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Crawford County coroner said. Her body was found in her Meadville, Pennsylvania, home on Sunday.
Her brother said she battled depression, but her family thought she had been dealing with her problems.
“She was unhappy, but it was hard for her to open up about that, and we all thought that she was coping,” Daniel Van Meter said. He said she had opposed taking medication.
Van Meter was celebrated in 1993 and 1994 when she made her cross-country and trans-Atlantic flights accompanied by only a flight instructor. Her instructors said she was at the controls during the entirety of both trips.
“If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything,” Van Meter said before her second trip. In her teens, she said she hoped to become an astronaut when she grew up.
Later she earned a degree in criminal justice from Edinboro University in Pennsylvania and spent two years with the Peace Corps in the former Soviet republic of Moldova. She recently worked as an investigator for an insurance company.
Her mother, Corinne Van Meter, said her daughter had begun applying to graduate schools and wanted to study psychology.
Van Meter was a sixth-grader in September 1993 when she flew from Augusta, Maine, to San Diego over five days. She had to fight strong headwinds and turbulence that bounced her single-engine Cessna 172 and made her sick.
At the time, she was believed to be the youngest girl to fly across the United States. That record was broken by a 9-year-old in 1994.
Also in 1994, Van Meter flew from Augusta to Glasgow, Scotland, and was credited with being the youngest girl to make a trans-Atlantic flight. She battled dizziness brought on by high altitude and declared upon landing: “I always thought it would be real hard, and it was.”
The child pilot phenomenon ended in 1996, when 7-year-old Jessica Dubroff, her father and the instructor supervising the flight were killed in a crash in Wyoming while Jessica was trying to become the youngest person to fly across the country. Congress quickly passed a bill banning record-setting attempts by unlicensed pilots.
“I was really rooting for her, but I guess reality says accidents do happen,” Van Meter, then 14, said at the time of the crash. “It’s unfortunate it had to happen to someone so brave, someone trying to fulfill her dreams.”
Corinne Van Meter said her daughter “led a full and interesting life. … She had more guts than any of us could ever imagine.”

I’m not a dr., nor do I play on one tv…but if I had to diagnose Sen. Clinton with a mental illness, I would say she appears to be suffering from Delusions of Grandeur. Granted, deluding oneself is a lot easier to face then our reality, but lady come on!! Senator, I’m not sure as to who’s been whispering false sweet nothings in ur ear, but have u looked at the results from these Super Tuesdays?? And please don’t let OH & TX be an indicator as to how you think you’ll end up. I mean, not the results your people pass onto you, but go to a credible website such as CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo! News…I mean the choices are endless. You’ll get real results in real time! Why did you think Obama would risk his life (literally) to begin this foray only to give it up in March-EIGHT MOS before the elections to accept your irrational proposal??? I’m not a dr., nor do I play one on tv, BUT R U CRAZY?! Lady shelve the hallucinogens, stop letting Bill blow smoke up your keister, make a cup of coffee w/a shot of strong liquor and sit down and read the REAL RESULTS OF THIS RACE…UR LOSING! Sorry I had to be the one to break it to u…but it’s true. Now read on about what Obama had to say about your insane proposal:
(CNN) — Sen. Barack Obama Monday flatly rejected suggestions he would be a vice presidential running mate for Sen. Hillary Clinton.
President Clinton Saturday suggested a Clinton-Obama ticket would be “unstoppable.”
“He would win the urban areas and the upscale voters. She would win the rural areas that we lost when President Reagan was president,” he said while campaigning in Pass Christian, Mississippi. “If you put those two things together, you’d have an almost unstoppable force.”

Obama forcefully shot that idea down.
“Sen. Clinton is fighting hard. She’s tenacious. I respect her for that. She is working hard to win the nomination. But I want everybody to be absolutely clear. I’m not running for vice president. I’m running for president of the United States of America,” Obama told supporters during a rally in Columbus, Mississippi.

“With all due respect. I won twice as many states as Sen. Clinton. I’ve won more of the popular vote than Sen. Clinton. I have more delegates than Sen. Clinton. So, I don’t know how somebody who’s in second place is offering vice presidency to the person who’s in first place,” he said.

Obama also said the Clinton campaign was “hoodwinking” voters when it suggested he was not ready to be president while also floating the possibility of a joint Clinton-Obama ticket.
“I don’t understand,” he said. “If I’m not ready, how is it that you think I should be such a great vice president?”
Obama was campaigning in Mississippi a day before the state holds its primary Tuesday, while Clinton keeps her eye on the next big prize on the Democratic calendar, Pennsylvania.
Thirty-three delegates are at stake Tuesday, and in the tight Democratic race, every delegate is critical. CNN estimates Obama leads Clinton 1,553 to 1,438. A candidate needs 2,025 delegates to win the nomination.
Obama won the Wyoming caucuses Saturday, where he picked up seven delegates. Clinton won five delegates.
Obama was also scheduled to hold a rally in Jackson, Mississippi, Monday, while Clinton was set to hold campaign events in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania holds its primary April 22.
The divergent paths on their campaign trails may be a reflection of what the campaigns view as their political strengths.
Obama has done well in Southern states that have large African-American populations. Clinton has done better in industrial states with large groups of blue-collar voters such as Ohio, which she won last week.

Going into Tuesday’s voting, Obama has a double-digit lead over Clinton in Mississippi, polls suggested. An American Research Group poll conducted March 5-6 of likely primary voters had Obama leading Clinton 58 percent to 34 percent with 5 percent supporting another candidate and 3 percent unsure. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Clinton has not conceded the state to Obama, however. She campaigned there last week, and her husband campaigned there over the weekend.

As the race has remained in a virtual deadlock, pressure has been mounting on party officials to find a solution that lets Michigan and Florida have some input in the nomination process.
Both states were stripped of their delegates by the national Democratic Party after they violated party rules and moved their primaries to January. Clinton won both contests.
None of the top-tier candidates campaigned in either state before the votes, and Obama was not on the ballot in Michigan.
How the question is resolved could have a significant impact on the Democratic race. Florida has 210 delegates, while Michigan has 156 delegates.
Ann Lewis, a senior Clinton adviser, argued the outcome of Florida’s January primary should be used to allocate Florida’s delegates. Watch Lewis explain why the Florida results should count ![]()
“Here’s what we think the criteria should be: Recognize and respect the fact so many Florida Democrats did come out,” Lewis said. “Let’s remember and recognize the people who did show up and appreciate that they thought votes should be counted.”
But comments by Howard Dean, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, suggested party leaders would not support that position.
“I think it’s very unlikely that Florida and Michigan, given how close this race is, are going to be seated as is,” Dean told CBS Sunday. “But everybody’s going to work very hard to find a compromise within the rules that’s fair to both campaigns that will allow Florida and Michigan in the end to be seated.”
Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Florida, has proposed Florida Democrats get a chance to vote again using mail-in ballot, saying a full primary using regular voting machines would be prohibitively expensive.
Nelson estimated the cost of conducting an election using mail-in ballots would be about $6 million. Florida’s Democratic Party would raise the money to pay for the mail-in election, he said.
Two prominent Democratic fundraisers — Gov. Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania and Gov. John Corzine of New Jersey — suggested they would be willing to help raise the funds necessary to hold new elections in Florida and Michigan.
A letter outlining their proposal was published Sunday in the Washington Post. Rendell and Corzine said they would help raise half of the $30 million they estimated it would take to hold primaries in Florida and Michigan.
Both Rendell and Corzine back Clinton, but former Sen. Tom Daschle, Obama’s campaign co-chairman, said the Obama campaign would be open to the two campaigns raising funds for new primaries. source

Watch: Baby Sitter Charged
Police said Thursday that Thomas’ charges were going to be upgraded to murder.“I had no idea what was going on,” said Nelson’s uncle Allen Daigle, who was present when EMTs took Nelson. “All I seen was the pale face and the blue lips. I didn’t see the burn marks until I went to the police station.”
Investigators said they examined Nelson at the hospital and found evidence of severe child abuse.Bogalusa Police Department Sgt. Darrell Darden said the child had suffered blunt force trauma and head injuries consistent with being beaten by a fist, and that Nelson had a skull fracture.
He said Nelson had also been burned repeatedly, and had been forced to swallow some kind of antidepressant like Xanax.Investigators said the burn marks were similar to curling iron burns.
“It’s a terrible situation,” Darden said. “What’s best for the baby at this time is to find who done this and make them pay.”
Nelson’s 14-month-old sister was taken into protective custody pending the outcome of an investigation. source
