*Within hours of her new track being "leaked" onto the Internet, Whitney Houston was snapped by paps being softly kissed by her rumored boy toy Ray J in the backseat of a car in Los Angeles.

Various cameras caught Houston, 44, hours earlier going into Villa nightclub in West Hollywood, then later emerging and climbing into a car with Ray J, the 27-year-old artist who is rumored to be her main squeeze. That's when the smooching took place.

Also last weekend, Houston's new track "Like I Never Left," found its way onto the Internet. There's no word if the song will appear on her long-awaited comeback album, expected to be released in the fall.
