From Page Six: BOBBY Brown was solo and out of control Monday night during Usher's birthday party at the Highlands club in L.A. Whitney Houston's husband spent most of the evening in the club's upstairs room. But when Usher took the stage to thank his guests for coming, an "out of it" Brown "stumbled down the stairs" and approached him. "Bobby got down on his hands and knees and started bowing to Usher," said one eyewitness. "Usher invited him on stage and told the crowd, 'Here's my man Bobby Brown, the original king of R&B!' and they hugged." But after the hug, Brown "went all Jekyl & Hyde" on Usher and started screaming, "You need to respect me! You took my spot! You are taking away my shine! I should be on stage, not you!" A shocked Usher had to call security to escort Brown away when Houston's hubby tried to fight him on stage. Vivica Fox, Cris Judd, Lauryn Hill, Shaquille O'Neal, L.A. Reid, JaRule, and Nick Carter looked on stunned before Usher broke the silence by grabbing his girlfriend Chilli for a dance.

Chilli?

Also, there's an item about how Geoffrey Rush kept getting moved around to different tables at Nicky Hilton's birthday party to make room for more age-appropriate celebrities like Toby Maguire. I wonder about any event with a guest list that includes Toby Maguire and Geoffrey Rush. Shit, I would have felt old at that party.
