Which Celebrity Was Spotted at the Burlington Mall Wednesday?

One hint, it was his "prerogative" to be there.

‘Tis the season for shoppers to descend on local malls, celebrities included.

On Wednesday morning singer Bobby Brown was spotted at the Burlington Mall doing some shopping. What does the well-known singer and former frontman for the group New Edition buy at the mall? The singer was seen purchasing a set of Dominos from the Go! Calendar kiosk in front of Sears inside the mall.

A Boston native, Brown has two children who grew up in Stoughton with their mother Kim Ward, so it’s not random to occasionally see him in the area.

Back in 2004, Brown was sentenced to prison after missing three months of child support payments. In 2007, Brown again fell behind on payments and was held at the Norfolk County House of Corrections in Dedham. He was arrested while attending his daughter’s cheerleading competition nearby. Brown was at the jail for a few hours before being released. Jail officials at the time said he was no trouble at all while at the facility, took some phone calls and even danced a little in his cell.
