BOBBY BROWN POPS THE QUESTION TO HIS NEW BABY MAMA!

11 months after his GF gave birth to their son, Bobby Brown popped the question to Alicia Etheridge this weekend -- on stage at a "Funk Fest" in Florida. Alicia -- who's also Bobby's manager -- reportedly said yes.

Of course, Bobby B spent 15-years of his life married to Whitney Houston ... and we all know how that turned out.
