Newly single Whitney Houston was photographed leaving Maestro restaurant with hip-hop artist Ray J over the weekend, sparking rumors that the middle-aged songstress and the twenty-something rapper are dating. The Post-Chronicle reveals:

A source [said], “[Whiteny and Ray J] looked like they’d had an enjoyable evening, but they weren’t happy to be pictured together. Ray helped Whitney into his car and drove her home.” Ray J is currently involved in a sex tape scandal with ex girlfriend Kim Kardashian. “It’s your typical graphic sex tape,” Ray J told the NY Daily News. “There’s a golden shower at the end.”

This Ray J seems like a fine replacement for Bobby Brown. Nothing says “metamorphosis from your cracked-out filthy grub-like-state” like having somebody urinate on your barely-emerging imago. Especially after he’s already spunked and sweated all over you. Only hobos should ever smell like tinkle. Hobos, and the occasional frat boy that blacks out in the middle of a keg stand. Boy, does Whitney Houston ever know how to pick ‘em! Spread your wings, little butterfly, and prepare to be hosed down with piss. Can’t pass up a golden opportunity like that.

UPDATE: For the non-insect-savvy readers who keep sending me emails about a typo in this post: (From Wikipedia)

“Imago is the last stage of development of an insect, after the last ecdysis of an incomplete metamorphosis, or after emergence from the pupae where the metamorphosis is complete.”

See how that butterfly joke works now? Damn PBS and their educational programming.
