Usher Being A Father To His Son: Now That's Sexy!!!

Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, came alive last night when music and fashion industry icons from across the world kicked off the THISDAY Music and Fashion Festival with their scintillating stage performance.

R&B/Pop crooner and ladies idol, Usher had the audience eating from the palm of his hand with his popular hits and incredible footwork as he danced on the stage tirelessly.

As he sang his new single hit from his latest album, ‘Love in the Club’, the audience went wild singing and dancing along to his performance. All modesty was thrown to the wind as everyone reveled in the moment.

It's A Boy For Usher & Tameka!

Thanks for the cigar Usher! So clearly congrats are in order now that New York’s Power 105.1 has confirmed that Tameka Foster gave birth last night. Seems like all the online naysayers have been quieted down since Tameka and Usher jumped the broom back in August. The most important thing to us isn't whether or not lady T is Raymond's beard. It's all about the brother showing his woman respect by actually, dare I say it... marrying her.

And that it's a sister is just icing on the cake! Right Black man?

Usher, Eve, Will Smith and Mariah Carey Allegedly Outed By White Publicist: Is Gay The New Black?

Is this really anybody's business?




What do actors Cuba Gooding Jr., Jamie Fox, Henry Simmons, Will and Jada Pickett Smith, Rappers Eve, DaBrat Queen Latifah, and singers Alicia Keys, Usher and Mariah Carey all supposedly have in common?

EVE HAS A CRUSH ON ANGELINA JOLIE

A publicist new to the blog game insists that these folks, among others, are playing for both teams and has decided it's time they come out the closet.

Is this cat just a Perez Hilton wannabee, or has gay really become the new Black???

Assume for a moment that these accusations are true. Would it make you love these celebrites any less if they were gay or bisexual???

NO WAY! USHER DOES IT "HIS WAY" AND MARRIES TAMEKA FOSTER???

MediaTakeOut.com is reporting that Usher and Tameka Foster got married yesterday. The Internet stories and conversations are on full blast as we speak folks.

UPDATE:

By Stella Foster, Sun-Times columnist

Despite canceling their nuptials scheduled to occur earlier this week, the on-again, off-again wedding of Usher and his pregnant fiancee was finally on -- and held quietly Friday, sources told Stella's Column late Friday night.

The multiplatinum singer married his longtime girlfriend, Tameka Foster, who is several years older than he, during a private ceremony in his lawyer's office in Atlanta on Friday, sources said.

Among those present was Usher's mother, Jonetta Patton, who, it has been widely reported, staunchly disapproved of the marriage. Foster was reportedly largely responsible for Usher firing his mom as his manager last May.

The pair, who are expecting their first child together this fall, had been scheduled to marry last weekend before Usher publicist Patti Webster announced the wedding was called off.

The couple reportedly disagreed over an elaborate prenuptial agreement supported by Usher's mother.

THE USHER CHRONICLE'S: WHERE IN THE WORLD IS TAMEKA FOSTER?


Damage Control Kicks In Overdrive As Folks Speculate Whether The Stylist's Ex-Con Status Sealed The Couple's Fate

A close friend of R&B star Usher's former bride-to-be Tameka Foster said the pregnant stylist is "absolutely fine" since the wedding was abruptly called off on Saturday, hours before it was to begin.

YEAH RIGHT!

"She's doing well. She's absolutely fine," the friend, who answered Foster's cell phone on Sunday, told the New York Post. She said Foster, a 36-year-old divorced mother of three, has been communicating with Usher, 28, since Saturday. They are expecting a child together in the fall.

C'mon family, wouldn't it be better to admit that this is a challenging period and maybe ask that supporters keep them in prayer, or that fans allow them to work through some issues.

Instead we get, "They are still best friends. Why would anyone assume otherwise? People have assumed so much that was wrong about the relationship."

Nobody's disclosing where she is or whether the 18 month courtship is officially kaput!

On Sunday, crews drove up the winding driveway of music mogul L.A. Reid's 10,000-square-foot mansion in New York's Sagaponack, Long Island, ready to break down preparations for the lavish wedding, the Post reported.

It is believed the 70 to 100 guests, including Janet Jackson, Jermaine Dupri, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, were told just hours before the big event not to bother showing up, the Post said.

Although no official explanation was given, it is believed Usher's mother and former manager, Jonnetta Patton, did not approve of Foster (his former stylist who was a divorced mother of three), and had not been invited to the wedding.

A National Enquirer story, leaked just days before the planned nuptials and on newstands now, quoted Foster's half-sister saying the bride-to-be was an ex-con who had done time for petty theft.

Usher is soon expected to release the follow-up to his eight-million selling, Grammy-winning album "Confessions," released in 2005. He also has a fragrance due out in September.

USHER, EDDIE MURPHY AND IAN JOHNSON: BLACK MEN GETTING MARRIED (OR NOT) TOPS THE DAY'S NEWS


While we can only imagine what's really going on with Usher, his mama and his baby mama drama, Ian Johnson was in Idaho getting hitched.

But not before the Black Boise State running back and his bride in white prayed to end prejudice.

Johnson and Chrissy Popadics, the bubbly head cheerleader he proposed to after scoring the winning points in the Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma, were married Saturday in a traditional ceremony at Cathedral of the Rockies First United Methodist Church.

Johnson revealed that he received phone calls and about 30 letters, including personal threats from people who objected to his plans to marry a White woman.

The ceremony went on, however, ending with the couple jumping over a broom , an African tradition signifying the couple jumping into a new life together.

Speaking of jumping the broom, Bossip posted a story that Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds are reportedly engaged after only 10 months of courting. (between the two of them, they have what... 10 kids?)

According to OK! magazine, the 46-year-old ‘Dreamgirls’ and ‘Shrek the Third’ star proposed on July 25 with a “massive,” roughly 8-carat CARTIER yellow diamond engagement ring.

A friend of the couple says, “They’re very adorable together, very happy,” adding that they plan to tie the knot before the end of the year with a private wedding: “something low-key and romantic.

The two showed up at the Hollywood premiere of Edmond's comedy "Who's Your Caddy?" with a big rock --as in diamond-- on her left ring finger. "A really sweet, wonderful, beautiful gift that this (baby faced) man gave me," the producer of the film gushed before realizing that she unknowingly compared him with her first (cash-cow) husband.

When asked about the engagement rumors, Murphy reportedly said: "If I were gonna do an engagement ring, it would be much bigger."

Tracey, better watch your back, Mel B is coming back with a vengeance as The Spice Girls plan to start touring again. Here's their latest publicity shot since announcing that they have reunited:

Not bad for having just popped out a little Murphy girl just a few months ago.

AS USHER CALLS OFF WEDDING, BLACK CROONER RON "MR. BIGGS" ISLEY GETS READY FOR LOCKDOWN!


BEFORE THE USHER-TAMEKA WEDDING WAS CALLED OFF,
BOSSIP REPORTED THIS:

According to In Touch Weekly, Tameka Foster let Chilli have it when they saw each other over Ms. Patton’s crib. Chilli still talks to Usher’s mother and was visiting when crazy Tameka walked in:

Tameka walked in and hit the roof. She screamed at Chilli, “Doesn’t your boyfriend have a mom you can visit?” Chilli just told her to grow up and walked out laughing.

GET THE DETAILS OF HOW EVERYTHING WENT DOWNHILL FROM THERE, HERE.

USHER AND TAMEKA CALL OFF WEDDING?!?! DID THE BLACK R&B SUPERSTAR GET COLD FEET? WAS CHILLI BEHIND IT?

BOMBSHELL: USHER MARRIES AFTER ALL!!

Is it this another rumor? Was his mama there?
Does he still love Chilli?

Usher, 28, and Tameka "How The Stylist Got Her Groove Back" Foster were supposed to tie the knot today at record executive LA Reid’s Hamptons estate. All guests who were expected to attend the event have been told that the event will not take place as originally planned.

In a statement to the Associated Press, publicist Patti Webster said, "It was announced today that the wedding ceremony for Usher Raymond IV and Tameka Foster was canceled.

What "Confessions" will Usher make this time???



No additional information will be given regarding the circumstances of the cancellation, but we hope the privacy of this matter will be respected." Usher and Tameka are expecting a child together in January, but no word if they still remain engaged. Foster has three children with her first husband.

There is no confirmation if its a case of cold feet or perhaps Tameka decided to be a “runaway bride”, but there have been rumors that Usher’s mother wasn’t happy about the union. Usher even went to the extent to fire his mother as his manager. Then there was the rumor of a prenuptial agreement not being requested by Usher, making for even more drama.

You know Black blogs like Young, Black and Fabulous, Bossip, Concrete Loop, and Dirty Whore will be taking about this for weeks!

While no official reason was given for the sudden cancellation, E! News is reporting that Usher's mother, Jonnetta Patton, was less than keen on the match and was not invited. There were reports that Usher's godfather, actor Ben Vereen, was also taken off the guest list because of his protestation to the marriage.

In May, Usher cut professional ties with Patton, who had served as his manager for the length of the 28-year-old's mega-successful career. He denied whispers that the termination was prompted by 36-year-old Foster after she expressed interest in becoming his manager. The same month he also amicably split with his publicist of nine years, Simon Smalls.
Earlier this week, blogs sites and the National Enquirer reported that Tameka Foster has a history of arrests:

"Tameka is an ex-con whose first lover was gunned down in a drug-related execution-style shooting." Poor Usher has no idea who he's marrying," Tameka's half sister Valencia Foster told The Enquirer. " Tameka, fleeing from a troubled home life, moved in with Valencia when she was 11. "She arrived with $14 in food stamps in her purse," recalled Valencia. "She turned out to be a nightmare. "By 14, she had become involved with a married drug dealer five years older than her, Valencia says. "I banned him from the house – but four years later she was pregnant with his baby when his car was ambushed and he was riddled with bullets. Tameka missed being with him in the car by minutes." -- The National Enquirer

Two weeks ago, the mutliplatinum entertainer addressed the speculation swirling around his relationship with Foster. In an open letter to People, he denied that the older woman was controlling his life.

"I am happy, excited, completely clear and independent on my direction, feelings, decisions and I am NOT BEING LED," he wrote. "Some media and bloggers have been totally intrusive, they have misconstrued aspects of my personal life and, because of this, my 'true' fans are not sure about what is fact and what is fiction.

Now Mama Usher loved her some Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas. Check out the sexy singer's video response here.
