Madonna once dated Bobby Brown, or so says a new book about the former Mr Whitney Houston. Derrick Handspike's book 'Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But…', which we've possibly mentioned before, says Madge first got to know Brown when she was supporting his band New Edition early on in her career.
A source from the book's publisher says: "It began when one of Bobby's bodyguards caught the Material Girl with Bobby in the back of his limo. The couple met years before when Madonna was on her way up and served as the opening act for some New Edition shows. The book discloses, after both had become well known, Madonna was interested in having a relationship with Bobby".
Brown apparently ditched Madonna to date Janet Jackson, before later marrying Houston. If only he'd had Paula Abdul he'd have had the complete set of eighties pop queens.
