BOBBY BROWN BLASTS WHITNEY & THEIR MARRIAGE IN NEW TELL-ALL BOOK, 'THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT.'
CONTINUE READING MORE EXCERPTS FROM BROWN'S TELL-ALL BOOK AFTER THE JUMP!
Whitney, he alleges, had been under "a lot of pressure. The media was accusing her of having a bisexual relationship with her assistant, Robin Crawford. Since she was the American Sweetheart and all, that didn't go too well with her image...In Whitney's situation, the only solution was to get married and have kids. That would kill all speculation, whether it was true or not. In the short, I think I got caught up in the politics and ended up marrying one of the biggest stars in the world." But Brown notes that he was no saint in their relationship, confessing in his book, "I am guilty of sleeping with other women...Women are always throwing themselves at you. I'm only human, so I would make the mistake and bite the hook sometimes . . . I let the testosterone take over." One of his most public indiscretions was an affair with former exotic dancer Karrine "Superhead" Steffans. "Yes, I've slept with her," he confesses. "Yes, I've spent several nights at her house. But she was only good for what her nickname stood for."

SOULJA BOY TELL 'EM SNAGS TOP SPOT ON FORBES MAGAZINE HOTTEST NEW MUSIC STARS LIST.
To refer to Crank That as a mere "song" would probably underplay its multi-platform ubiquity. The official video racked up tens of millions of hits on YouTube and spawned a dance craze that prompted Soulja Boy to shoot an instructional video that generated more than 30 million hits of its own. Then there were the countless spoofs and imitations that featured mashups of SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora The Explorer, Alvin and the Chipmunks and others. "Crank That" has also sold more than 3 million song downloads and more than 2 million ringtones. With that kind of reach, it was hard to escape the song's catchy refrain of "Yoooooo!/Crank that Soulja Boy, now watch me/Yoooooo!"
AFTER THE JUMP, TAKE A PEEK AT THE OTHER UP AND COMING ARTISTS (INCLUDING TWO FROM FLORIDA) THAT MADE THE CUT & WHAT STEPS FORBES TOOK IN ORDER TO COMPILE THEIR LIST.
To compile a list of the hottest new stars of music, we examined several measures of popularity and success. To start off, we looked at the top searches and downloads on peer-to-peer networks during the past 12 months as measured by BigChampagne, as well as press mentions as measured by Factiva. Then we looked at U.S. digital track downloads and album sales in 2007 and the first two months of 2008, as measured by Nielsen SoundScan. Finally, we took a look at "mastertone" ringtone sales during the same period, as measured by Nielsen RingScan (mastertones are ringtones that play a snippet of the actual recording of your favorite song).
Other artists who made the list include: Sean Kingston, Flo Rida, Plies, J. Holiday, Hurricane Chris and American Idol winner Jordin Sparks.

DIDDY ATTEMPTS TO EXPLAIN HIS 'BITCHASSNESS' REASONS FOR NOT GETTING MARRIED.
'Scared'? Man, please! Dude thinks he's nickel-slick but I got his penny change; therefore he's my two cents on the situation. He refuses to get married and become a one-woman-man because he'd rather play the hubby role without making it legit...that way he's free to come and go as he please from bedding down any woman who'll spread her legs for him. All so he wouldn't have to deal with the ramifications of being labeled an adulterer thereby forcing him to give up a huge chunk of his multi-million dollar empire to his future ex-wife. I'd love to hear his reasons a.k.a. excuses for having kids out of wedlock with several women.
