Their relationship may have been tumultuous and their struggles with substance abuse well-documented, Bobby Brown insists that he is not the reason ex-wife Whitney Houston started doing drugs, a habit that she battled right up until her death in February.
"I'm not the one that got Whitney on drugs, at all," Brown told "Today" host Matt Lauer in an interview set to air on Wednesday and Thursday. "I'm not the reason she's gone."
Brown admitted that when he learned of his ex's death, he was saddened to hear she had started using cocaine again.
"I was hurt ... because, you know, me being off of narcotics for the last seven years — I felt that she was, you know, I didn't know she was struggling with it still. But at the same time, you know — listen, it's a hard fight," he said.
Regarding his involvement in Houston's drug use, Brown said that drugs were a part of Houston's life before they met in 1991. "I smoked weed, I drank the beer, but no, I wasn't the one that got Whitney on drugs at all," he insisted. "It's just, it's just unexplainable, how one could [say that I] got her addicted to drugs. I'm not the reason she's gone."
The New Edition member said that Houston seemed to have "a glow about her" the last time he saw her over dinner at a restaurant with their daughter, Bobbi Kristina, which was about a week before she died.
"She just looked like she was in a good place," he said.

Was Lindsay Lohan a "Total Nightmare" on 'Glee' Set?
At this point in her career, Lindsay Lohan can't afford to make anybody angry -- especially not anybody from the hit show that could usher in her comeback. So you'd think that when Lindsay showed up for work on the set of Glee, she'd be on her best behavior... right?

'American Idol' Castoff Elise Testone Will Be Calling Brian May
Testone wants Queen guitarist for her album: 'He's like, 'Call me up. Let's do it.' '

Elise Testone might have wanted it all, but in Thursday night's "American Idol" elimination round, she was cut from the running after taking on this week's challenge of singing a Queen anthem as well as a song choice of her own.
With the finale less than a month away, it has been embedded in the contestants' heads that it's do or die when it comes to picking the right songs at this stage in the game. And while Testone's rendition of Queen's "I Want It All" on Wednesday night seemed to finally land her right back in her element, it was her personal pick of the less-familiar "Bold as Love" by Jimi Hendrix that might have caused her fall. Regardless, she stands by her decision wholeheartedly.
"I really don't have any regrets about that," the 28-year-old explained. "I feel like I sung it the best, maybe one of the bests I've ever sung it, because I sung it a lot of times with my band, and people are always requesting it, and I feel like it's a popular song. John Mayer just re-released it, and he is of our generation, so it's one of the most epic songs ever written.
"There is definitely a lot of give and take in the music environment," she added. "You have to please people, but you also need to be yourself. So it's always about finding a balance, and as we got closer to the show, I really just wanted to be myself and sing from my heart because if I try to please people then it might come across a little bit — I want to say fake, but not completely fake, but just you wouldn't feel that conviction as much if I did that all the time. So, yesterday, I just chose songs that I love, and I did the best I could. So, I feel successful in those performances and with whatever is going to happen now."
The South Carolina native has had a history — or should we say "a vacation home" — in the bottom three for weeks now, with Jimmy Iovine even declaring she was the underdog of the competition. Elise admitted she didn't take the comment too lightly at first, but she eventually learned to accept the criticism as part of the learning process.
"At first, it was kind of hard to hear those things just because I have worked so hard, I have a degree in music, and I've been in like six different bands," the rocker confessed. "I've done so much with music, so sometimes it was hard for me to take that criticism, but finally I realized that's why I'm here. I signed up for this, and I can take the criticism. Move on."
And moving on she is. Now that the show must go on without her, Elise is already thinking about recording her debut album. So has she had any communication with Stevie Nicks since the legendary vocalist claimed she would hire Testone in an instant if she ever needed a singer?
"No, no, but hopefully there will be," Testone said with a smile. "Brian May, I talked to him a lot off-camera from Queen. Super cool. I mentioned two or three times I would love for him to play on my album, and he's like, 'Call me up. Let's do it.' So, I'm definitely going to get that phone number."

Ask AC: HTC One S voice mail notification issue
Ingram1225 asks in the HTC One S forums,
Anyone have voice mail notification issues? Like always saying you have voice mail? Seems to be a rampant HTC issue with all their phones.
I did listen to all my voicemails... even deleted the saved ones. My One S keeps notifying me that I have a new voicemail... and when I check there are no new voicemails.
As Ingram1225 mentioned, this is a quirk on a lot of HTC Android phones, and not particular to the One S. When you activate or put your SIM in a new HTC Sense phone, sometimes you get a voice mail notification. It happens seemingly at random, and nobody is 100-percent sure how to prevent it. Good thing it's easy to fix!
Grab another phone, it could be a landline, another cell phone, or even a call from Google Talk, and call your number. Don't answer it, you need to let it go to voicemail. When it does, leave a message. Now go back to your phone with the stuck voice mail notification. You should now have two voice mails showing, the "stuck" one and the real one you just left. Call your voice mail service from your HTC Sense phone, and listen to and delete the new message. That should fix your problem, and you're good to go until you get another new HTC phone.
