Ray J has signed up to front a new VH1 reality dating show that will feature 14 stunning women duking it out for his attention, but the 28-year-old failed R&B singer’s latest venture into the spotlight has created tension with on-again/off-again flame Whitney Houston.

The 48-year-old powerhouse is reportedly jealous over For The Love of Ray J and is livid that her love agreed to do the show without consulting her first.

“Whitney is on the warpath because Ray J agreed to do this dating show even after she asked him not to!” a friend of Nippy’s has revealed to The National Enquirer. “She knows he’s a hound dog.”

“He told Whitney he was doing the show for the exposure and the money and that as soon as it was over they would be back to normal,” the tabloid claims. “….She’s started seeing promos for it-and it’s not at all the way Ray described it to her….There were girls bumping and grinding on Ray. She also saw him kissing another girl-and in bed with yet another girl who’s on top of him.”

“Whitney blew up and for now they’re not speaking.”
