BOBBY BROWN - BROWN BATTLES RADIO STATION OVER BAIL MONEY

LATEST: BOBBY BROWN hung up on a Washington, D.C. radio station yesterday (02MAR07) that allegedly paid for him to get out of jail in exchange for him appearing on their morning show. The DON'T BE CRUEL singer was arrested Sunday (25FEB07) in Massachusetts for failing to appear in court and failure to pay back child support and court fees. The radio station posted $19,150 (GBP9,820) to bail the singer out of jail on Wednesday night (28FEB07) and expected him to be a guest-host for one week. Brown did call the morning program THE KANE SHOW, but hung up after 10 minutes after getting into an argument with the host over whether he would discuss his child support woes and his actual agreement with the station. The conversation started badly when host KANE asked Brown about his repeated troubles with the law for not paying child support. A furious Brown shot back, "I'm a father and as far as not paying child support, that's personal!" After more heated discussion, the two engaged in a lengthy argument over Brown's alleged agreement to appear on the show and he hung up. The station says it plans to rescind the hosting offer and will attempt to get their money back.
