Brandy and Monica Wish Whitney Houston a Happy Birthday. Bitter Chaos Ensues.
Brandy Norwood and Monica Brown each jumped on Instagram yesterday to wish Whitney Houston a posthumous happy birthday.
The legendary singer, who died of a drug overdose in 2012, would have been 54 years old on Wednesday.
Why is this noteworthy?
Why are we writing about the seemingly innocent act of two artists acknowledging someone who has a great influence on their career?
Because the birthday wishes devolved into a reignition of an old feud between Brandy and Monica, culminating in the former going off on an angry rant against all haters on Instagram.
We’ll start with Monica’s message in honor of Houston.
It included a black and white photo of the late superstar, along with the following caption:
Happy Heavenly Birthday Nippy … You still inspire many & touch hearts daily… You will forever be the greatest …. You will forever be missed.
Pretty simple and very sweet.
A few hours later, Brandy shared a collection of photos of herself and Houston, writing a lengthy note alongside it that reads as follows:
Lord have mercy on my soul!!! Happy Born Day Whitney. You live on in me… I can feel your Spirit inside of me and all around me.
My angel, my friend, my fairy God Mother. I love you forever… thank you for trusting me with the torch!!!
I remember every moment with you and I and I will cherish these miraculous moments forever and ever! I love you….
Also pretty simple and very sweet?
Nope, not according to critics who destroyed Brandy for turning Whitney’s birthday into an occasion that celebrates her.
(We’re not sure if we agree with each of the critiques below, but it is rather comical for Brandy to claim Houston passed her the “torch.” Has anyone ever considered Brandy to be the next Whitney Houston?!?)
“There’s a BIG difference in Monica & Brandy’s posts about Whitney today,” wrote one Twitter user. “Only one of them was actually about Whitney.”
Here’s a look at what a few others had to say:
In response to these attacks, Brandy – who starred opposite Houston in a movie version of Cinderella and whose brother starred in the Kim Kardashian sex tape – wrote a long and bitter message to Monica and her supporters.
And we mean LONG and BITTER.
Get comfortable and check it out below:
“Monica needs to really check her evil ass fans.
“It’s so much stuff I can post about the hateful things they say to me… but I will never have time for that. Always thinking something is about her. It’s not!!!!…
“Me and Whitney have nothing to do with anyone but the two of us…we made history and I cared more about being with her than I did about anything else.
“I’m heartbroken that she isn’t here and the things I say about her are my true feelings and based on the things she said to me.
“#Torch is a purpose and it is an understanding to help me get through the fact that she passed period the way she did and passed on my birthday.
“I’m crushed for life because of it. It’s petty for everything that I say about Whitney for someone to have the audacity to think it’s about someone else other than her.”
Brandy went on to suggest Monica stop her fans from attacking her, noting they’re “low key Brand fans anyway” and awesomely adding:
“Come get your hating ass pigeons and put them in their place the way I did for you when the starz was out of place…
“I’m not to be F–ked with today! If this was rap or hip hop you would be praised for speaking your mind but since it’s rnb you have to take the so called high road…
“well because I can rap just look at this as my high road.”
In conclusion, wrote Brandy:
Too real to be fake and because this is my idols birthday, I’m allowed to defend my position in her life and hers in mine. That’s what I have to hold on to.
This is easily our favorite feud of the year, and maybe of the decade.
Whose side are YOU on?!?

Monica Lewinsky Praises Jay-Z for Admitting His Cheating!
Jay-Z’s 4:44 album was an immediate hit, of course. In it, he very directly confessed to cheating on Beyonce and also slammed Kanye West.
Though she isn’t mentioned in the album, Monica Lewinsky — a woman whose name is still virtually synonymous with cheating, twenty years later — has spoken out about Jay-Z’s album, lyrics, and choices.
And what she has to say may come as a surprise. …
Because Monica Lewinsky is praising Jay-Z for his honesty.
“Jay-Z had a choice.”
She gets specific, but you already know that he could have simply chosen another subject for his album.
“Having been called out publicly by his wife in her fierce 2016 album and video, Lemonade, Jay-Z knew that his fans wouldn’t have blinked if his next album skimmed past the allegations.”
We love that she slipped in some praise for Beyonce’s Lemonade in the process.
(Same, girl)
“That’s not uncommon for men to do.”
It’s wildly common for men to do.
They’ll ignore allegations or even evidence.
Even if they answer when asked about it in interviews, their next movie or book or album is just about what they’d rather people talk about.
A lot of people use their craft more for branding than for honesty.
Monica points out that, given how his life had clearly stabilized, it would have been extra easy for him to steer the focus of his fans onto happier topics.
“And it’s not as if we hadn’t seen Beyonce and Jay-Z out in the world together since then — not to mention, welcoming their twins to planet Earth.”
That’s plenty of distractions, for anyone.
“Jay-Z could have ignored it all.”
But he didn’t. And good for him.
We share Monica’s enthusiasm for Jay-Z’s brazen musical confession of his apparent rampant cheating previously during his marriage.
But, technically, we disagree with Monica.
Because we’re not sure how much of a choice Jay-Z had.
Sure, plenty of his fans might have accepted it if his album had just been about dissing Kanye and letting his mom come out as a lesbian.
But we wonder if Beyonce would have been okay with it if, after Lemonade and the revelation therein, Jay-Z’s 4:44 had totally ignored his history of cheating.
Music — all art, really — is about expression and storytelling.
For the sake of their marriage, Jay-Z needed to put that out there.
And we’re just not convinced that Beyonce would have been cool with it if he hadn’t.
He needed to put it out there to expose the lies that threatened to ruin his marriage.
This is not even the first time that Monica Lewinsky has commented on Beyonce and Jay-Z’s music.
In 2013, Beyonce’s song, “Partition,” name-dropped Monica … as a verb.
“He Monica Lewinsky’d all on my gown.”
There’s an image.
And not one that we asked for.
Monica Lewinsky spoke out at the time.
“Thanks, Beyonce, but if we’re verbing, I think you meant ‘Bill Clinton’d’ all on my gown,’ not ‘Monica Lewinsky’d."”
To be fair, without the “gown” bit, using Bill Clinton as a verb might be a little ambiguous.
“He boosted the economy to historic levels all over my gown?”
But that’s totally fair.
Not only was Monica Lewinsky a very young adult when she had an affair with President Bill Clinton, which arguably gives her less agency in what happened …
… But, in a very literal sense, Bill Clinton was the one who, um, “made a mess,” in that scenario.
It’s so good that, after years of basically feeling like she needed to be in hiding, after gaining traumatic levels of infamy and being blasted by both sides of the political aisle, Monica Lewinsky is having an easier time.
Her name still means what it means, but she’s using her infamy for advocacy and to speak out.
She deserves praise for that.
Just as Jay-Z deserves praise for his honesty.
Though … everyone wishes that he’d gotten his impulsive sexual conquests out of the way before he’d gotten married.
(Seriously — who the hell cheats on Beyonce?)

Taylor Swift, Calvin Harris and THIS Random Kid Enjoy Dinner Date in Santa Monica
Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris may or may not be living together these days.
But they are definitely eating some meals as a couple, although their twosome recently become a threesome during a romantic evening out.
No, not that kind of threesome! Sheesh!
It’s just that the singer and the DJ dined on Tuesday evening at Giorgio Baldi Italian restaurant in Santa Monica, California.
At one point, however, a very young man nicely made his way over to Swift and Harris and asked if he could join them, at least for a photo op.
He then shared the adorable image online and wrote as an Instagram caption to it:
“Awesome dinner with mom and dad.”
HA! This is our new hero.
Swift, as you can see above, donned a sexy backless black mini dress and a metallic headband for the date; while Harris looked cute and fancy in a dark ensemble.
According to the fan, the A-List stars didn’t seem to mind having a bit of company on their date.
“[Taylor] is sooo nice,” he later commented on his photo in response to another fan.
Yup. That’s what we hear from everyone, kid.
Swift and Harris appear to be going as strong as ever.
They spent the holidays together, visiting with various family members, and numerous outlets confirm that Swift and Harris are talking marriage.
We’ll hold off on buying any gifts for the couple, but perhaps not on being excited about the possibility.
We really, really hope Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris get married!!!!!

Monica Monroe: I Saved Lamar Odom"s Life! I Never Gave Him Drugs!
Monica Monroe, one of the two prostitutes who found Lamar Odom unconscious last week, says she had nothing to do with his drug use.
If anything, she insists, she’s the reason he’s still alive.
Yesterday, reports surfaced that the women Lamar was with eight days ago, Madison Montag and Ryder Cherry, supplied him with drugs.
(Those names are aliases, as is Monica Monroe … whichever one she is. Monroe is in witness protection after her boyfriend’s murder.)
Whatever her name is, she tells the Daily Mail (UK):
“I didn’t do anything wrong … I saved [Odom’s] life.”
The two prostitutes found Odom and called for help, just in time to get him airlifted out of the brothel before his heart and brain shut down.
Monroe has left Nevada, distraught and scared.
“I’m not to blame at all because I didn’t do anything wrong at all,” Monroe reiterated to the site. “I feel like I saved his life by finding him.”
Before that, it sounds like quite the weekend.
According to 911 calls, Khloe Kardashian’s husband had taken at least 10 tabs of the sexual performance enhancement drug Reload.
He was also allegedly on cocaine at the time.
After being treated at Sunrise Hospital in Vegas, and given a 50-50 chance of survival, Odom pulled through and regained consciousness.
He is now at L.A.’s Cedars Sinai Hospital.
Khloe issued a statement yesterday on his condition, thanking friends and fans for support throughout the sobering and taxing ordeal.
The journey ahead is long and arduous, too.
“He’s still really, really sick,” a source said.
“There are a million things they’re doing to him still. He’s still in rough shape, not doing well. He’s talking a little, but not full sentences.”
