Whitney Houston’s former sister-in-law Leolah Brown appeared on the Dr Drew show yesterday and accused singer/Whitney’s alleged boyfriend Ray-J (the brother of singer Brandy Norwood) of supplying the star with drugs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOYBXD_41a8&feature=player_embedded Via PunchBowl Blog I wondered how long it would be before Leolah started yapping again.

But there is something so desperate and suspect about Ray-J that it wouldn’t surprise me if these accusations turned out to be true.
