Ray J sex blast at Bobby Brown
WHITNEY HOUSTON is used to singing songs - not being the subject of them.
But her former flame RAY J has spilled the beans about their romance,
penning explicit lyrics about her in one of his tracks.
He also takes a swipe at the superstar's ex-hubby BOBBY BROWN.
Ray J dated Whitney - who is 17 years his senior - briefly in 2007 while she
was going through her divorce.
The song from his new album All I Feel suggests her marriage failed as a
result of her husband's poor love-making techniques.
On track Boyfriend, he sings: "Is that your wife, is that your shorty?
Well I'm her boyfriend... I think the problem is you don't beat it right...
Making love is cool, just pull her hair sometimes."
But Bobby has taken a more laidback view in his forthcoming autobiography
Being Bobby Brown: The Truth, The Whole Truth And Nothing But.
He wrote: "I'm aware of the fact that Whitney had been seeing Ray J, a
very young R&B artist who is most famous for being the little brother of BRANDY,
the multi-platinum singing artist and TV star.
"Their relationship doesn't bother me. She's open to see whoever she
wants to see, just like I can see who I want to see.
"I know the age difference between her and the little guy is 20 years, but to
each his own.
"The only concern I had was how our daughter felt about the age difference. As
long as she's cool with it, it's fine by me."

Sarah Jessica Parker - Sex And The City Actress Parker Loves Co-stars
Sarah Jessica Parker has denied claims that she and her Sex and the City co-stars fell out while making their hit TV series.
Speaking on BBC1's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, the actress put paid to rumours that she and fellow stars Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis were off-screen enemies, saying: "I love these women."
A movie version of the much-loved HBO series hits UK screens on May 28th - four years after the show ended with Parker's character Carrie Bradshaw seemingly happy in the arms of Mr Big (Chris Noth).
Plans for a film based on Darren Starr's show were mooted soon after its conclusion only for tabloid reports of cast in-fighting and allegedly problematic pay demands from Cattrall to leave the project apparently dormant.
However, Parker has denied the gossip and added: "I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else."
She continued: "We are family, there would be no reason to do it otherwise... I'm so proud of the work the other ladies have done, I think they're marvellous."
The 43-year-old style icon, married to Ferris Bueller's Day Off star Matthew Broderick, told Ross that the film took so long to reach the screen due to development problems, rather than issues between cast members.
"There was no script, there was an idea," she revealed on last night's show.
"When it didn't happen we all went on... Two years ago I had this instinct we should revisit the idea. Our audience grew after we went off-air so the audience created the opportunity."

Pink Floyd - Uk Festival Organiser Denies Gilmour Snub
LATEST: A British festival organiser has refuted claims he turned down a performance from PINK FLOYD frontman DAVID GILMOUR because he's too old.
Reports surfaced Monday (02Jun08) alleging Glastonbury Festival boss Michael Eavis had denied the rocker a performance slot at this year's (08) event in favour of younger acts.
But Eavis denies snubbing the star, insisting there was simply not enough time for Gilmour to perform.
He says: "I got a call three or four weeks ago from Gilmour's people. But by that time all the bands were already in place. It's a great line-up and I couldn't bump one of them, even for him."
Kings Of Leon, Jay-Z and The Verve will headline the festival later this month (27-29Jun08).
