Bobby Brown is happy to be at home with his family after spending just nine hours behind bars.

The singer - the ex-husband of the late Whitney Houston - barely had time to settle into his cell following his incarceration on Wednesday morning (20.03.13) for his third driving under the influence (DUI) conviction, checking into L.A. County Jail at 9:58 am, before being released at 6:58 pm.

The singer - the ex-husband of the late Whitney Houston - barely had time to settle into his cell following his incarceration on Wednesday morning (03.20.13) for his third driving under the influence (DUI) conviction.

Bobby Brown has turned himself over to authorities.

The 44-year-old singer and ex-husband of the late Whitney Houston - with whom he has a daughter Bobbi Kristina, 19, - was jailed Los Angeles on Wednesday morning (20.03.13) after being ordered to turn himself in following his most recent driving under the influence (DUI) conviction.

Clive Davis doesn't blame Whitney Houston's ex-husband for her death.

The music mogul - who managed the 'I Will Always Love You Singer' singer after discovering her when she was just 20 - believes her former husband Bobby Brown, 44, was not responsible for her problems with drugs before her accidental drowning in a hotel bathtub in February 2012, which was caused by heart disease and cocaine use.

Bobby Brown has been sentenced to 55 days in prison.

The 44-year-old singer pleaded no contest to driving under the influence (DUI) and to driving on a suspended licence, following his arrest last October, and will now spend almost two months behind bars.

Whitney Houston wanted a ''normal life'', according to her mother Cissy Houston.

Cissy claims the 'I Will Always Love You' singer - who died in February 2012, aged 48 - didn't want to be a world famous star and preferred to live a quiet life away from the glare of the world.
