Moments after Whitney Houston's funeral began, her ex-husband, Bobby Brown, was spotting abruptly leaving the service with his son Landon Brown. So, why did the New Edition singer exit the church just 20 minutes after the funeral began? "My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston," Brown said in a statement released to E! News. "We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions. I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continue to ask us and no one else to move. "Security then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi-Kristina.

London — Actress Judi Dench is battling to save her sight.
The James Bond star said in an interview published Saturday that she had been diagnosed with macular degeneration, an eye condition which can cause blindness, and that her eyesight was already so bad that she couldn't even read her own scripts.
The 77-year-old told the Daily Mirror that she was relying on friends and family to keep her up to speed with her lines.
"It's usually my daughter or my agent or a friend and actually I like that, because I sit there and imagine the story in my mind," she told the newspaper during an interview at a London hotel. "The most distressing thing is in a restaurant in the evening I can't see the person I'm having dinner with."
The Mirror didn't say exactly where or when the interview took place. Messages left for Dench's agent were not immediately returned Saturday. »

Costner is expected to speak at Whitney's funeral service in Newark, New Jersey today (February 18). Clive Davis will also pay tribute to the singer, while Aretha Franklin and Stevie (more) »

With the PlayStation Vita releasing in the Western world later this week, and with a launch lineup that boasts the likes of Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Wipeout 2048 and Everybody's Golf: World Invitational, we got to thinking about just how important a good launch lineup can be. Would Microsoft still be making consoles were it not for Halo? Would the Sega Saturn have succeeded were it not for a crippling lack of day-one releases? Is Super Mario 64 the best launch title ever? We look at some of the highs and lows of the video game launch lineup. Game Boy (1990) - Block party Nintendo didn't take any chances with the Game Boy, releasing the iconic handheld device with its very own standalone Mario title.

Despite some seating issues earlier during today's emotional memorial service for Whitney Houston, the show goes on for Bobby Brown.

Bobby not only received a standing ovation but took a moment and raised a finger heavenward in honor of the legendary songstress, offering: "Blessings to my ex-wife, Whitney Houston. I love you."

Bruce Springsteen said this week that his new album Wrecking Ball was inspired by an "angry patriotism" that drew fuel from the Occupy movement.
Speaking to a group of journalists at the Theatre Marigny in Paris, Springsteen described how the financial crisis, income inequality, and other hot-button political issues informed Wrecking Ball, which paints a picture of an America that has failed the working class.
"My work has always been about judging the distance between American reality and the American Dream--how far is that at any given moment," Springsteen said. Judging by the album's tenor, he believes the gap has only become wider in recent years.
In one song, "Easy Money," a down-on-his luck protagonist goes on a robbing spree out of desperation. "He's imitating your guys on Wall Street the only way he knows how," Springsteen said.
In "Shackled And Drawn," Springsteen sings that, "Gambling man rolls the dice, »

Las Vegas — Muhammad Ali had seven prizefights in Las Vegas, with his two losses there coming in the twilight of his legendary career. Now, dozens of heavyweight celebrities are back in Sin City to laud a lifetime in the spotlight and join the icon known as "The Greatest" in fighting neurological diseases.
Roughly 2,000 people were expected to attend a swanky gala to celebrate Ali's 70th birthday on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the site of most of boxing's major fights the past 20 years. Ali turned 70 last month, and had another celebration and fundraiser then in his home state of Kentucky.
Guests arriving on the red carpet included football great Jim Brown.
"America started with slavery and ended up with a black president," Brown said. "Muhammad Ali was a part of that ... a big part."

It's been a long time coming, but the "Mad Men" Season 5 premiere is finally upon us -- and so are the new promos. Get a sneak peek at the new season above.
The AMC drama returns with a two-hour premiere on Sun., March 25 at 9 p.m. Est and the cast is starting to drop hints about the long-awaited return.
"I think this season is the best yet. I really do," John Slattery told HuffPost TV in late January. "We were all commenting that it felt like the first season. We've somehow circled back after all the details and all the plot development that's happened with everybody ... it's kind of circled back to the sort of tunnel vision on each character and various elements of each character that they've dialed in on. It's somehow simpler."
