BOBBY BROWN: Sues National Enquirer Over Report He Was to Re-Marry Whitney

Bobby Brown and his current wife have filed suit against the National Enquirer over a March 2012 article stating he'd planned to re-marry Whitney Houston.

The source of the quote is Derrick Handspike, whom the supermarket tabloid claimed was a close friend of Brown's -- and was working on a book about him. Now Bobby and his current wife Alicia Etheredge  have filed suit against both the Enquirer and Handspike.

Here's the quote in contention: "Bobby told me, ‘Whitney and me are getting married again.' ... They were planning a small wedding, prob­ably in Las Vegas with just the two of them and their daughter Krissi. ... Bobby told me, ‘The world may have thought we were histo­ry, but the reality is we were never really apart. We’ve never stopped loving each other.'"

Houston had died a month earlier. Brown and Etheredge were married last June, four months after Whitney's death.
