Whitney and Bobby's Divorce Finalized

Whitney Houston and Bobby BrownIt's pretty much all over -- including the crying -- for Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's marriage.

An Orange County judge granted Houston a divorce yesterday, and sole custody of their 14-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina. In the ten-minute hearing, Judge Franz Miller ruled that the divorce would become final on April 24.

In court, Houston testified, as the AP reports, that Brown was an unreliable father. "If he says he's going to come, sometimes he does. Usually he doesn't," she told the judge.

Houston wept as the decision was announced, and did not talk to reporters afterwards. Brown didn't show up for the hearing. The couple has been married since 1992, and Houston filed for a legal separation last September. Brown's attorney says he will seek to overturn the judge's ruling.

13. Not that Whitney's a great example of a person or mom, but Bobby just further stereotypes black men as unable to be responsible husbands and fathers. He's a scumbag for abandoning his child.
