Remember last year how I posted about Osama bin Laden’s alleged infatuation with Whitney Houston?
Well someone’s taking it seriously.
Bad boy singer Bobby Brown says an al-Qaida plot to kill him will not thwart his Melbourne show on Thursday.
“Come on, if anybody is threatened by al-Qaida they’d take it seriously,” said Brown, who is increasing security.
Even by Brown’s standards, an assassination plot ordered by Osama bin Laden is bizarre.
Sudanese writer Kola Boof has claimed bin Laden is besotted with Brown’s former wife, Whitney Houston, and wants her for himself.
Brown said he has boosted behind-the-scenes security and will keep those arrangements for his coming Australian tour.
“I figure if bin Laden wants me, and everybody is looking for him, it probably won’t happen,” Brown said.
“But if he wants to try and find me for something so stupid, he can do what he wants. I have to leave it in the hands of my higher power.”
Brown and Houston, who wed in 1992, divorced last year.
Brown, 38, bad tempered, scandal-plagued and often arrested, said he had been busy building a new life.
“All that fighting, all that stuff, is behind me now. I’m just enjoying life and everything about it.
“My responsibility is to help my kids grow and understand what life is about.”
And it’s apparently all about developing an ego to the point that you actually believe one of the world’s most dangerous terrorists would spend time and effort plotting your demise because he wants your ex-wife for himself.
I mean, c’mon Bobby! Bin Laden’s likely spending his time focusing on more important issues – like rubbing out Christina Aguilera.
