ADDING TO THE PILE OF CELEBRITY BABIES "Usher and wife Tameka Foster are expecting their second child, Usmagazine.com has learned. The R&B singer, 29, and Foster, 38, welcomed their first child, Usher Raymond V, in November."
MOMMA'S BOY "'Usher has dissolved his management arrangement with Benny Medina and has re-engaged Jonnetta Patton as his manager,' his rep said in a statement Wednesday. In 2007, word spread that he ended his 15-year working relationship with Patton because she did not get along with his wife Tameka Foster."
Someone came close to shooting Diddy over the weekend, threatening our access to his enlightening YouTube videos and 15 more seasons of Making the Band.
Diddles was at an Atlanta club attending a Jermaine Dupri-hosted party along with Nelly, Usher and Gabrielle Union. A gunman opened fire inside the bar after allegedly being charged twice for admission. One security guard was struck in the arm, but no other guests were injured.
Fortunately, Jermaine hasn't lost the true meaning of all this:
Dupri has vowed to continue partying after a security guard was hit at the party, insisting the incident won't prevent him from partying in the future.

The New York Daily News is reporting that Usher will soon be a proud father. No word yet as to whether or not his child's name will be as unintentionally condescending as his.
Whenever I hear some jackass screaming, "Niggers are noisy, primitive, arrogant and obsessed with conspicuous consumption," I'm sickened by the hate. But then I'll come across photos like these depicting a few of the world's most recognizable black millionaires brandishing bottles of expensive liquor and literally throwing away money, and I'm even more sickened by the betrayal.
Basically, the scourge of the Revolutionary War was sad, but Benedict Arnold was sadder.

At least Pam's Gams looked hot. These photos were sent in by my friends Tony and Nesa who were in Vegas for New Years and opted to attend the Pam Anderson/Pauly Shore/Usher/Jamie Foxx party. Unfortunately, my photogs missed the Jamie Foxx portion of the evening (thank god, for their sake), but they managed to get some shots of the rest of the evening's mayhem. Pauly and Pam looked like they were getting extra cozy as co-hosts of the party. Hey, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas…and on the Internet…and probably in the form of new diseases transmitted through face licking.
[Many thanks to Tony for sending in the pics]
