Bobby Brown Hospitalized in Heart Attack Scare

UPDATE: TMZ spoke with Phaedra Parks, Brown's attorney. She told us that Bobby did suffer a mild heart attack and attributes the cause to "stress and diet." "He has been examined," she tells us, "and doctors determined there is no blockage but inflammation of the heart." Parks says "Bobby is doing good. He is in good spirits. It's a serious condition, and I'm very concerned about him. Bobby is very happy with the outpouring of calls and messages. We ask people to keep him in their thoughts and prayers." As for this Saturday's performance at V100's Taste of Soul, she says "He has all of the intention to perform, but it's not clear yet if he will be able to do it."

UPDATE: Lee Bailey of EURWEB spoke to Brown this afternoon, who told him "Everything's all right with me. I got a clean bill of health and everything's fine," he says. "I'm ready to get on this road and do these shows and take care of what I gotta take care of."

TMZ has learned that singer Bobby Brown was hospitalized last night in what we're told is a "heart attack scare."

We're told Bobby felt some tightening in his chest and tingling in his arm and had his girlfriend/manager, Alicia, take him to the hospital.

He was staying with his father in Tarzana, Calif. when he felt ill, and was transported to Tarzana Regional Medical Center, where he is still hospitalized.

We're told that Brown could be in the hospital for one more day to undergo more tests.

We're also told Brown was so scared by the incident, he recorded a video message to give to his family in case he didn't make it. Hell to tha no Bobby! You'll pull through!

62. Too much Crack obviously and a pathetic attempt to garner sympathy from Whitney.

63. Bob's spiritual advisor & sadden friend,

Bobbie hasn't "thrilled" anyone on stage since the 80s when he was a teenager. I'd be sad if I were his friend, too. Sad for myself that I had to be his friend.

Just a case of too much drugs for too long. The good news is that without Whitney's money he may have to quit and therefore savehimself. Wait, maybe that's the bad news.

65. I just hope Whitney does not take pity and go back with him. She is well rid of him. He did nothing but drag her down.

66. #58-A history of habitual Crack use will indeed case enlargement of the heart as well as inflammation of the heart better known as Pericarditis. I work in a Coronary Intensive Care Unit so I know what I am talking about.

68. I agree with all above comments! Too bad he didn't just die and do us all a favor...It's time to 'thin the gene pool'. God he's such a loser. He'd be a great spokesperson in a commercial titled: "This is what money, drugs, and stupidity do to you!"

71. Damn yall are some cold folks, the man damn near dies and no sympathy what so ever. He is who he is but he also a human being, some of us have family members like him or worse but we don't wish death upon them, and if we heard they were dead they would be more than a reason to call out sick from work, it would be the lost of a family member, a loved one no matter who they were....Be it Cousin Pookie The crackhead that you can't leave your purse around or Uncle Benny who looks at all the woman at the party like he just spent the last 50 years in prison. Life's real nice from your glass house on the peddastal hill, Get well Bobby and God Bless

74. Smoking, Drinking, Whoring, Diet, Drugs, Stress...wow what a poster boy of how not to have a healthy heart or lifestyle.

Maybe he saw God for a split second while at the Hospital and will come away from the experience truly a changed man. For if he returns to even one of those listed attributes to his condition---Color this Man Gone.

Just dont go to Israel and get baptized like Whitney did in trying to change her ways a few years back---that didnt work for her. Hopefully God appeared to you in the Hospital and said, take this as your warning.

If not, than RIP Bobby Brown and take your bag of crap living with you.

75. That pic should be on every wall in every high school with a warning to kids how they could end up like Bobby Brown if they experiement with drugs.
Please go to rehab Bobby.
