The Shade: Madonna Calls Whitney Houston Mediocre in Letter

Maybe if she titled the handwritten letter with “For your eyes only,” it would not be up for auction right now. But personal letter written by Madonna slamming Whitney Houston and Sharon Stone will be going up for auction in New York next week, thegrio.com reports.

The letter is addressed to “J.” Many believe the recipient to be Madonna’s one-time boo-thang John Enos. Much of it is a “dear John” letter, explaining why she and “J” could not be together; however, the juiciest parts are when she took shots at other celebrities at the time.

“I have made so many people angry that I’m being punished and basically being made to be quiet and sit in a corner while other less interesting [and] exciting people are reaping the benefits of the road I’ve paid,” the letter reads, adding, “It’s so unequivicably [sic] frustrating to read that Whitney Houston has the music career I wish I had and Sharon Stone has the film career I’ll never have.”

She continued, “Not because I want to be those women, because I’d rather die but they’re so horribly mediocre and they’re always being held up as paragons of virtue and some sort of measuring stick to humiliate me.”

Bids for the letter begin at $1,000 and estimated to sell at around $5,000.
