Usher is a lil pissed at Chris Brown after seeing the photograph of Brown jet-skiing at Diddy’s Miami Beach mansion. “I’m a little disappointed in this photo,” Usher said Monday on Dupri’s online Living the Life series. “After the other photo [of Rihanna's brutalized face]? C’mon, Chris. Have a little bit of remorse, man. The man’s on Jet Skis? Like, just relaxing in Miami?”

UPDATE: Usher issued a statement late Tuesday (March 3) apologizing for the comments he made toward Chris Brown, which appeared in a video posted by Jermaine Dupri. “The comments made during a recent recording session amongst friends were taken out of context and blown out of proportion,” the statement reads. “I apologize on behalf of myself and my friends if anyone was offended. The intentions were not to pass judgment and we meant no harm. I respect and wish the best for all parties involved.” (MTV.com)

Usher is currently working on his new album with music mogul, Jermaine Dupri.

Ummmm…Okay, had to get my thoughts together after seeing that pic. Well Usher’s wife was spotted at the Airport of Guarulhos in Brazil to fly back home. As previously reported, she was in the hospital for 11 days after suffering a heart attack during plastic surgery. We hear she was there to get liposuction, but by the looks of her face (resembling Michael Jackson), I think she got some “other” work done too! YIKES! Well, glad she is alive and well.

Tameka Foster Raymond, Usher’s wife, was released from the hospital in Brazil on Monday. As previously reported, Tameka suffered cardiac arrest during a botched liposuction during Grammy weekend. Usher had to leave the festivities abruptly to be by her side. The R&B singer’s wife spent 11 days in recovery at Sirio-Libanes Hospital in Brazil.  Doctors in Brazil spoke to the press and said that Tameka should have never gotten plastic surgery soon after she gave birth.  According to José Tariki, president of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery, a patient should only undergo liposuction six to eight months after giving birth. I think she was trying so hard to keep up with her  young husband! Ridiculous!

A Braziliam website has revealed that Tameka Foster was rushed to Sirio-Libanes Hospital last Friday after a medical emergency during a botched liposuction procedure. Supposedly, Usher’s wife, suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest as she was being “put under” for the cosmetic surgery. Foster allegedly was put into a medically-induced coma for 24 hours and is currently recovering. Officials at the hospital refuse to comment on the case. “The family has demanded total privacy. The hospital is barred from giving any information,” a spokeswoman for Sirio-Libanes told AFP. My question is, why did she get plastic surgery in Brazil? There are tons of qualified plastic surgeons in Los Angeles in the U.S.!? Am I wrong!?

We got an update on Usher and his wife. A rep for Usher said yesterday that Tameka Foster-Raymond is in stable condition following severe complications from a “routine surgery” in Brazil. Rumor has it the “routine surgery” was actually “plastic surgery”.

After Usher was a “no show” at the pre-Grammy gala, rumor hit the net that Foster had died due to complications with surgery, but a source close to the singer denied all rumors.  “Her husband Usher is with her at the hospital,” said Ursh’s rep, Jeff O’Keefe, adding, “No further details will be released, and the family requests privacy at this difficult time.”

Usher was also a no show at Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy party along with the Grammys due to a “family emergency”. We hear that his wife had some serious complications following plastic surgery! WOW! We shall keep you posted!

Rumor has it that Usher and wife Tameka Foster are on the rocks. New York Post reported that Usher ordered Tameka to stay home in Atlanta with their kids while he records his new album in Las Vegas because he needs to focus. “Tameka is really upset that she was asked not to come to Vegas with Usher in December when he left to work on his next album,” a source told Page Six. “She tried to have so much influence over his last project that this time, the people involved with the record said she had to stay away.”

However, Usher’s camps says the rumors are false. “Usher and Tameka have a solid relationship and she understands the demands of his recording schedule. He’s been in the studio with Pharrell Williams and Jermaine Dupri working hard on his next album”, Usher’s rep revealed.

I think the media is just hoping and praying Usher and Tameka will break up…but I really do think this couple is genuinely in love. Don’t you think?

Rumor had it that Tameka, Usher’s wife, would be replacing Deshawn Snow of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. We reported to you yesterday that Deshawn got the boot from the popular reality show because she was just too “boring”. Tameka, who is a celebrity fashion stylist, says although she was flatteredd by the offer, she will not take accept it.

“Although [Bravo] approached me, and I was flattered by the offer, I will not be joining the ‘Real Housewives’ cast,” said Raymond.

Tameka Foster- Raymond, a mother of five, is the the CEO of Swanky Image Group and owner of Hides & Dungarees Denim Collection. Her and Usher welcomed their second son together, Naveid Ely, this past December.

Do you think The Real Housewives of Atlanta would be even better with Tameka Foster on the show?

In related news, Usher recently closed his exclusive wine shop, The Grape, in Atlanta’s Inman Park, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Okay, I know alot of my readers hate on Usher and Tameka, especially Tameka…but the couple was lookin’ FAB at the New Years Eve Celebration at the Bank Club in Las Vegas. Tameka shocked me the most. The couple just welcomed their second son, Naviyd Ely Raymond on December 10th, and she looks DAMN GOOD in her post baby body…Is it just me?

C’mon we gotta give props when props are due! Tameka looks better than I’ve ever seen her….More Pics here…

Congrats to Usher and Tameka! The couple welcomed a baby boy yesterday! Usher’s new bundle of joy will join his older brother Usher Raymond V, who turned 1 on Nov. 26.  Tameka, 37, also has three sons from a previous relationship. All boys! The couple wed in 2007. Usher is quoted saying that their new baby is the best Christmas gift ever!

Usher’s mother is in trouble! LOL! She is being investigated by Dekalb County police because a driver for her Atlanta-based transportation company filed a complaint saying that she owes him $1,688.00 from a missing paycheck. TMZ reports that Jonetta Patton and her company JCarr Transportation are accused of scamming the limo driver while he worked during the recent BET Hip Hop Awards.

A rep for Jonetta’s company released a statement saying “The drivers were hired as independent contractors and are paid 30-45 days net when working on special events of the magnitude of the BET Hip Hop Awards that took place on Oct. 18th. They were hired at the recommendation of an employee who was recently terminated by JCarr and are disgruntled that their services are no longer being used by the company as a result of the unprofessional nature of the fired employee.”      

TMZ reports that Patton is trying to keep the case quiet, but Dekalf are actively pursuing the case! LOL! Give that man his money, we goin thru some hard times!

Victoria Secret Angels landed their wings in Miami Beach this past weekend. Singer Usher kicked off the Victoria’s Secret show Saturday, which featured 35 supermodels, some wearing angel wings. Models including Heidi Klum and Adriana Lima strutted down the runway at the newly renovated Fontainebleau Miami Beach during the show, which coincided with the opulent reopening of the hotel.

“The theme of the show is a return to glamour,” said company CEO Sharen Turney. “Victoria’s Secret is about sexy and the new sexy is glamorous for this season.”

I wonder if his wife, Tameka Foster-Raymond, would approve of this! LOL J/K. Well Usher delivered a “racy” performance with a female fan during his For Ladies Only: One Night Stand Tour last week! Check it out!

Usher released a new single entitled “Hush” which urges his fans to vote in this historic presidential election.

“Hush is about my awakening over the past 10 years to the social issues in our country and realising that I have a voice. As Americans we have the right to speak out about slow recovery in the Gulf Coast (after Hurricane Katrina), a long war and home foreclosures. But complaining isn’t enough, you have to also take action. Whether serving at the homeless shelter or going to the polls for the first time, you have to act or else Hush”, Usher explains.

Listen to Usher \”Hush\”

The song is available now for download at iTunes as well as www.UshersNewLook.org – portions of the proceeds will benefit the New Look Organization.

The Parents Television Council (PTC), the Enough is Enough Campaign for Corporate Responsibility, the National Congress of Black Women, and Industry Ears were very happy that BET decided to boot off  “Rap City.”      

PTC and Enough is Enough Campaign’s recently did a study of daytime music video programming from BET and MTV and the result as of March 2008 indicated that children who watched BET’s “Rap City” and “106 & Park” and MTV’s “Sucker Free” were bombarded with adult content which were sexual, violent, profane or obscene once every 38 seconds.        

Check out the official statement by PTC President Tim Winter; Enough is Enough Campaign Founder Dr. Delman Coates; National Congress of Black Women Chair Dr. E. Faye Williams; and Industry Ears Co-Founder Paul Porter:

“We are heartened by the recent changes at BET, and we are gratified that our collective efforts were a catalyst for this positive change. It is apparent that our voices were heard by the public, by the corporate sponsors who underwrite television programming and by BET network executives.  Parents across this country want a cessation of marketing harmful, graphic and offensive images to children.  But let us be clear about our goal: we are not trying to get a particular show cancelled or a particular executive fired.  Rather, our goal is a reduction in the harmful and offensive messages on BET and MTV programming – especially when the programs are targeted at children.  We have called for the networks to take responsibility for their products, and this program’s cancellation is evidence of a step in the right direction.”

What do you think about the videos that are shown on music channels now? Do you think Rap City needed to be taken off the air? Leave us your thoughts!

A lot of people are saying that Usher’s new video Trading Places is a bit too steamy for daytime TV, what do you think?

Usher’s upcoming tour may be titled “One Night Stand: Ladies Only” but it doesn’t mean that men will be turned away at the door. According to a Jive spokesperson, although ladies may be the focus of the tour, men are more than welcome to attend the shows. Then why make the headliner “Ladies Only” LOL!

Usher’s wife Tameka Foster-Raymond revealed her baby bump at Tyler Perry Studio Grand Opening in Atlanta this past weekend. Check out Tameka debuting her and Usher’s second child on the red carpet..
