It seems Bobby Brown is having trouble getting money together. The former R&B singer has repeatedly failed to fork over the $19,000 he was ordered to pay in child support, and is now in jail.

This shouldn't be a big surprise. The arrest warrant was issued in October of last year, after Brown didn't show up for a court hearing to discuss the outstanding support owed to Kim Ward -- the mother of two of his children. The 38-year-old was finally apprehended while attending his daughter's cheerleading competition.

Brown is also in the midst of divorcing Whitney Houston, with whom he has an additional child, but no word yet as to whether or not there's child support issues in that case.

According to his lawyers, the guy's broke: "Although this agreement was put in place when he was Bobby Brown the star, this agreement is being enforced when he is not always able to find work."

But keep in mind, that's what Brown said the last time he was arrested for failing to pay child support, back in 2004. He told the judge he had no source of income, and wouldn't be able to cover any of the debt he'd amassed in 10 years of neglecting to make payments. After one night in jail, he was able to come up with $63,500.

Somehow, I don't think he'll be behind bars for very long.
