BOBBY BROWN - EARLY DRAMA ON BROWN AND HOUSTON REALITY SHOW

Troubled R+B star BOBBY BROWN's reality TV show has already run into drama - his wife WHITNEY HOUSTON picked up a speeding ticket as cameras were rolling.

Film crews with Brown's company B2 ENTERTAINMENT recently followed the troubled couple while dining out with their 11-year-old daughter BOBBI KRISTINA.

Houston's spokeswoman NANCY SELTZER says of the show, "It's Bobby's project, and he's her husband. Of course she would do it with him."

The family - including their dog - was filmed dining on lobsters and steaks at Atlanta, Georgia's PALM RESTAURANT last Monday (29MAR04). The following evening, a five-member crew filmed Houston as she sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a fellow diner at PRIME restaurant.

Houston, who entered a drug rehabilitation centre last month (MAR04), was accompanied by her counsellors at the restaurants, according to Seltzer, who adds that the singer is in a "private facility" where treatment includes "approved outings" accompanied by counsellors.

But Houston quickly landed in trouble in front of rolling TV cameras when she picked up a speeding ticket while taking her daughter to school.

Former NEW EDITION star Brown, who has been in jail recently for probation violation and a battle over child support, is hoping to sell his new reality series to a TV network.
