Because there aren't enough VH1 reality dating shows, the network recruited Ray J, who is mainly famous for starring in a sex tape with Kim Kardashian, to be its next bachelor. Um, we thought he was dating Whitney Houston, no? Not that it matters — this is all about as real as Santa Claus.
The producers are looking for desperate contestants who are "smart, attractive women over 21 who think they can handle the drama of celebrity life." Why would they need to handle celebrity life if they're just dating Ray J?
Just when we were hoping that actor/singer/porn star Ray J and Whitney Houston’s inexplicable relationship was no more, they are back in the public eye. And still romantically entwined.

The state of music has officially hit rock bottom: A Britney Spears and Heidi Montag duet debuted on Ryan Seacrest's radio show this morning. Feel free to listen to the song, creatively titled "Dramatic," if you feel like stabbing your eardrums.
Not surprisingly, Heidi makes Britney sound like Whitney Houston.
But here's the real surprise-that's-not-really-a-surprise: The song was actually an old Britney reject from back in her glory days. Heidi found the old demo and decided to record her own version and combine the two as a duet.

In an effort to bolster the ever-assailed decorum of the Internet, MollyGood looks to poetry with Someone Haiku. Each day—using 17 syllables or less—you’re given the opportunity to wax poetic about some piece of flotsam or jetsam that’s washed up on the shores of MollyGood. Hopefully this Zen practice will not only bathe you in self-discovery, but also bring a touch of Eastern class to a global network of information that’s devolved into nothing more than tit websites and provocative MySpace pictures.
The Someone Haiku winner today is Stupidhero:
A lifestyle change?
No, six inches still in hand
And more money too
Stupidhero, you're belying your name.

By what must be an act of the God of Crack himself, Whitney Houston has been given full custody of her daughter, Bobbi Brown; not to be mistaken for Bobby Brown, Houston's ex-husband. This decision ensures Bobbi will endure a lifetime of guilt and confusion, as her bedroom will be within earshot of Whitney crying herself to sleep at night, while cursing Bobby for doing "this" to her.

It's a tragic day for true love, my friends. TMZ reports:
Singer Whitney Houston will file for divorce from husband Bobby Brown. Houston's rep Nancy Seltzer confirms to TMZ that Houston intends to divorce Brown, and that filing for a separation is just a "legal technicality" on the way to divorce. Seltzer did not divulge any further details concerning where or when the filings were made, and calls to Brown's lawyer were not returned.
Houston and Brown have been married for 14 years and have one daughter, Bobbi Kristina.
So, I'm guessing that upcoming seasons of Being Bobby Brown will include a lot less pulling fecal matter out of one another's orifices? Probably for the best.
