Since Whitney Houston passed away in February, her ex-husband, Bobby Brown, has only opened up about her death in one interview on the "Today" show, but during a Wednesday night appearance on the "Tonight Show With Jay Leno," the R&B singer paid tribute to Houston with a new song.

"Don't Let Me Die" finds Brown musing on mistakes he made during his relationship with Houston. "I didn't realize that every breath I took was from you," he sang, dressed in black, "You were my air."

The new song will be featured on Brown's upcoming album The Masterpiece, set to debut on June 5. It will be his first album since 1997's Forever. "I guess I [messed] up pretty bad/ I didn't know who you were/ I didn't know what we had," Brown continued to sing. "Now I'm stuck living in the past/ Trying to get the pieces back/ But I guess now you're gone."

Brown's tumultuous marriage to Houston was well-documented on their reality TV series "Being Bobby Brown," which showed the couple's difficult battle with drugs. When Houston died, she left behind 19-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina, who reportedly has a strained relationship with her dad.

During his visit to the "Today" show in April, Brown defended himself against constant accusations that he was responsible for Houston's drug use, saying she was using drugs 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," Brown told "Today" host Matt Lauer."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."

Houston's family — including daughter Bobbi Kristina, brother Gary Houston and sister-in-law Patricia Houston — are set to appear in an upcoming Lifetime reality series.

'Snow White' actress tells MTV News how she 'stalked' director Rupert Wyatt after hearing about the sci-fi adaptation.

Charlize Theron has played more than a few not-so-nice characters. She received critical acclaim for her role in "Young Adult," where she played an unstable woman intent on winning back her married high school sweetheart. Now she's working on a project with "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" director Rupert Wyatt called "Agent 13," in which she'll reportedly play another femme fatale.

When MTV News caught up with the "Snow White and the Huntsman" actress, she revealed how the sci-fi project came together.

"It's a pitch that I heard a month or so ago and I fell in love with this pitch," she said. "And ironically, at the same time, I really wanted to have a general [meeting] — 'cause you know how I stalk directors — with Rupert 'cause I really love what he's been doing. I brought up the pitch to him and he said, 'I really love this. I think we should talk about it.' And so it was really just the universe coming together."

"Agent 13" is an adaptation of a 1988 comic book that follows an organization called the Brotherhood, which comprises survivors of the lost civilization of Lemuria. The title character was kidnapped by the Brotherhood as a young boy and trained to be one of their top spies. When Agent 13 realizes the group has been corrupted, though, he sets off to take them down.

Fans are speculating that Theron will play one of the agent's two sidekicks — his seductive lover, China White, or his beautiful, devoted assistant Maggie Darr — but the actress isn't sure which character she'll play. "You know, we're writing it right now so it's a very, very loose pitch," she said, "but it's an alternate world story so it's big and epic and cool."

With the Wyatt project still in its early stages, fans can get their fill of evil Theron as the wicked Queen Ravenna in "Snow White" when it opens on June 1. Her character's cruel nature, she said, gave her license to act like a jerk between takes.

"I'm like yelling for sandwiches and coffee," she joked. "And then, Chris [Hemsworth] comes by and he's like, 'You're not shooting right now, Charlize!' And I say, 'Your head on a silver platter!' And he says, 'No, you're not the queen right now.' And then it crushes me, and I cry, and I deal with it."

While Theron hasn't ruled out playing the nice girl, she teasingly said that for now she takes on the roles most familiar to her. "I stick with what I'm good at," she said, laughing.

AOSP is a term you'll see used a lot -- here, as well as at other Android-centric sites on the Internet. I'll admit I'm guilty of using it and just expecting everyone to know what I'm talking about, and I shouldn't. To rectify that, at least a little bit, I'll try to explain what the AOSP is now so we're all on the same page.

For some of us -- the nerdly types who build software -- the full name tells us what we need to know. AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project. The AOSP was designed and written by folks who had a vision that the world needed an open-source platform that exists for developers to easily build mobile applications. It wasn't designed to beat any other platform in market share, or to fight for user freedom from tyrannical CEOs -- it exists as a delivery mechanism for mobile apps -- like Google's mobile apps, or any of the 400,000+ in the Google Play store. Luckily, Google realized that using open-source software would ensure that this operating system/mobile application content delivery system is available for all, for free. And by choosing the licensing they did, it's also attractive to device manufacturers who can use it as a base to build their own mobile OS. 

The premise plays out rather nicely. Google writes and maintains a tree of all the Android source code -- the AOSP. It's made available for everyone (you, me, manufacturers you've never heard of and not just big players like Samsung or HTC) to download, modify, and take ownership of. This means the folks at CyanogenMod can add cool stuff like audio profiles. It also means folks like HTC can change multitasking in ways that many of us don't like. You can't have one without having the other. The big players then use their modified version of this source to build their own operating system. Some, like Amazon, radically changed everything without a care to use Google's official applications and keep their device in compliance with Android guidelines. Some, like HTC radically changed everything yet followed the Android Compatibility Program (ACP) so they could include Google's core application suite -- including the Google Play store. Some, like the folks at CyanogenMod, enhance the pure AOSP code with additions but don't change the overall look and feel. Again -- that's how this open-source thing works. You can't have it without allowing folks to change it as they see fit, for better or worse.

Any of us can download and build the AOSP. We can even stay compliant with the ACP and contact Google about including their applications. Yes, any of us could build our own device using the AOSP code in our garage or basement with Google's full blessing. That's the beauty of the AOSP, and we wouldn't want it any other way.
