LOS ANGELES  — Prosecutors have charged Bobby Brown with drunken driving.

Los Angeles city attorney’s spokesman says Brown was charged Wednesday with three misdemeanors, including two DUI-related counts and one for driving on a suspended license.

The R&B singer was arrested Monday by the California Highway Patrol on suspicion of driving under the influence.

After a mere six months of marriage, comedian Eddie Griffin has nothing to laugh about as he sealed the deal on his divorce papers.

Griffin hitched up with Nia Rivers back in September of last year, and the couple made it official at a Vegas chapel. One month later, both Griffin and Rivers were filing a joint divorce petition that cited the classic “irreconcilable differences.”

The comedian first married at age 15, then divorced a year later.  Griffin tried his hand at marital bliss again in 2002, but wound up divorcing.  Griffin’s most-recent breakup gives him a three-strikes-you’re-out average as far as marriage goes.

Apparently Griffin did try to give his union another try after the couple split the first time, which wound up being a lost cause.

Hip hop star Nas might begin rapping about being broke, especially since the IRS has their eye on all of his earnings. Since the Grammy Award-nominated performer has reportedly failed to file his taxes on time, the IRS is now garnishing his wages.

Last year, the Rolling Stone reported that Nas was up to his hairline in debt.  He was behind in child and spousal support payments, condo fees and a slew of other obligations.  The 38-year-old songwriter and actor allegedly owed Uncle Sam more than $6.5 million in back taxes.

NEW YORK  — Soul singer Bobby Womack, 68, has been released from the hospital following a successful recovery from pneumonia.

The cancer-stricken Womack also is scheduled to undergo surgery at a later date.

In a statement through his New York publicist, Womack thanked his fans for their prayers, love and well wishes, and says he looks forward to when he tours in support of his upcoming album.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee is known for such hits as “Lookin’ For a Love,” and “That’s the Way I Feel About Cha.” Womack also wrote the early Rolling Stones’ hit “It’s All Over Now.”

Whitney Houston death is a result of accidental drowning.

Heart disease and cocaine use are listed as factors into her death. The report notes that her death was an accident.

The Los Angeles County coroner‘s office has determined that Whitney Houston’s official cause of death is: “drowning and effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use.”

Various prescription drugs were found in her room at the time of her death. But the toxicology report states that “Marijuana, Alprazolam (Xanax), Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) and Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) were identified, but did not contribute to the death.”

Right now, there is debate over why the Houston’s death was ruled accidental and not a drug overdose.

Plies pens a tribute to Trayvon Martin with this new song “We Are Trayvon,” which will be available on iTunes, with proceeds going to the fallen teenager’s family.

NEW YORK — Aretha Franklin has a lot more than her 70th birthday to celebrate: She’s reuniting with one of her musical mentors, Clive Davis, for a new album.

In an interview at her swanky birthday party on Saturday, Franklin said she and Davis, who helped engineer her comeback in the 1980s, would be working on new music.

Davis sat next to Franklin for most of the night at the soiree at the Helmsley Park Lane Hotel, which included a sit-down dinner, a dance performance and a mini-concert that featured rising jazz pianist Kris Bowers.

Other guests included Diane Sawyer, Rev. Al Sharpton, and Willie Wilkerson, Franklin’s longtime companion and briefly this year her fiancé.

Wilkerson stood by Franklin’s side as she cut her three-tier, lime-green birthday cake while the crowd serenaded her with Stevie Wonder’s version of “Happy Birthday.”
