Remember around this time last year, when the story surfaced about Kola Boof, Osama bin Laden’s said-to-be sex slave? Well she says ex-lover. It was written about here. In her autobiography she wrote that Osama bin Laden was fascinated with Whitney Houston and wanted to make her one of his wives.

Kola Boof.. “He said that he had a paramount desire for her and although he claimed music was evil, he spoke of someday spending vast amounts of money to go to America and try to arrange a meeting. He said he wanted to give her a mansion that he owned in a suburb of Khartoum. He explained to me that to possess Whitney, he would be willing to break his color rule and make her one of his wives.”

Then she recounted Osama’s threat.

“He would say how beautiful she is, what a nice smile she has, how truly Islamic she is but is just brainwashed by American culture and by her husband - Bobby Brown, whom Osama talked about having killed, as if it were normal to have women’s husbands killed.”

Well that was a year ago and the truth of her story has been endlessly debated. It looks like one person who believed every word is.. Bobby Brown.

He recently had a show in Melbourne, Australia and made sure there were extra-beefy guards on patrol.

“I figure if Bin Laden wants me, and everybody is looking for him, it probably won’t happen. 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.” .. actual words from Bobby Brown’s mouth.

Now not only was the truth of Kola Boof’s story contested, what she spoke of happened 10-15 years ago. Is Bobby perhaps hitting the early morning rock? Couple of glasses of liquid fire to get the day started?

“Come on, if anybody [else was] threatened by Al Qaeda, they’d take it seriously.”

Hmm, maybe on a trip through Pakistan or sight seeing in Baghdad, but you’re in Australia, mate! <

< See that's like Australian slang. Never mind.

I was thinking, who's actually paying to see a Bobby Brown show these days? But recycle that, if he were performing at a little club in your area, you would definitely duck in to check out that freak show.

And this first-hand account of his performance in the Herald Sun seems to be in line with that..

“The singer took off his shirt at one point “unveiling his sweaty, abdominally challenged torso [and mysteriously wet crotch]” and the audience screamed with laughter, but were dead silent when he tried to get them to do a “call and response.”

Now you know critics can be extra tough. Here is Bobby’s “Roni” set, you be the judge.
