Whitney Houston might have jumped out of the pot and in to the fire!  She left Bobby Brown, got cleaned up from drugs - supposedly - and now this is what she is in to…

More pics after the skip…

TMZcaught Whitney Houston with her boyfriend, loving each other up in a backseat.  Ewww.  I thought only high schoolers did that?  Oh, wait…he is a ton younger than her.  Like 17 years younger! 

The pair have been clubbing, and friends are worried his party ways will distract her from her clean ways and road to comeback.

What do you think - does younger mean he is a bad influence?
