"DERRICK HANDSPIKE's book about his friend who was wed to Whitney Houston is "Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But . . . an un(authorized?) biography."
Explains Handspike: "First it was a collaborative autobio. Then a leak hit the media about his marriage and drug abuse, and he got cold feet, so it eventually became solely my book."
Any reaction now that it's out?
"None at all. He knows it's out. We got the same friends. But him and me, we're still cool. See, he's really a great guy. A gentleman. Me and Bobby talked on the phone when he began dragging his feet, but everything was always positive until attorneys got into it, and then it fell apart. Things got political. I think Whitney was behind that. Bobby never said nothing to me. We never had bad words. But the truth is we haven't talked lately.
"People ask if he helped get Whitney on drugs. I don't believe that. Of course, I only know what he told me, which is he never used coke until he met her. Maybe he did other things, but not that. Like I know his mouth's a little crooked because he had a stroke from OD'ing on heroin.
"Bobby lived great way before Whitney. He dated Madonna in the early '90s. She was very aggressive in her pursuit of him. Called him all the time. One night in the5b4 back of her limo, she kind of attacked him. Before that he dated Janet Jackson. He said when they broke up is what made him drink. He also said her parents didn't like her dating black people."
The bio of this gentleman, which tells of his near death experiences and brushes with the law, is published by Down South Books".
