Ushers interview with Oprah

So Oprah had a sit down with Mr. Raymond on "The Next Chapter" talking about his custody battle, marriage with Tameka and his mom as his manager. Usher sugar coated and talked around each question barley answering it. Oprah had to keep asking the same question and rephrasing it to get a direct answer out of him. The whole picture he painted of how Tameka could not handle his lifestyle and that he should of listened to people when they told him not marry her. Hmm I was always told never regret something that once made you happy. Now don't get me wrong people change but there is a right and wrong way too handle things. A messy custody battle is never good for the kids l; children know both parents of they are around and in sane mind. My heart really goes out to Tameka after just loosing a son and then a judge granting primary custody to your ex husband. I know the pain must be there. Although I do not know all the details as of what happened in the marriage, I still feel as though it should not be talked about publicly. I am a firm believer in keep certain things to yourself. Usher states he never wanted to talk about it open but chose to do it this one time and he hopes his kids could look back and watch this someday. I think that is absolutely crazy problems between him and
Tameka should not be portrayed like that for the kids to one day see. I am a fan of Usher but after watching this interview I am in no way supportive of his lifestyle I look at him differently. His voice will always be beautiful and hopefully him and Tameka works out
a way for this all to go away for the sake of the kids.

Chris brown new tat

So Mr. Breezy got a new tattoo and everyone is speculating that it is the face of Rihanna. Maybe after being digitally enhanced , talked about and passed around it may look like Rihanna's once bruised face. But is everything Chris Brown does going to be under a microscope. I am not the biggest Breezy fan at all! But enough is enough. He can't control his anger and he does random shit that probably the average sane person wouldn't
do;but it's him. And if he is that stupid and that rude to tattoo her bruised face then he is as stupid and ridiculous as everyone makes him out too
be.

President Obama responds to Nicki Minaj

A couple weeks ago when the public got hold of Nicki Minaj line in "Mercy," featured labelmate Lil Wayne's new mixtape, Minaj states in her line "I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney/You lazy bitches is f---ing up the economy."

Of course a lot of people went crazy when they heard this they could not
believe that Minaj would endorse Romney. Many of us have our political views on who should vote or side with certain political parties. But in recent news the president addressed
Nicki Minaj's statement.

"I don't think [Sasha, 11, and Malia, 14] really listen to Nicki Minaj that much," he shared. He is not sure exactly what they listen to. "But let's face it, they are now hipper than me."
As for Minaj's rapped "endorsement", "Yeah, I'm not sure that's exactly what happened. She likes to play different characters," he explained.

Nicki Minaj and her Barbz were quick to respond to the president.

Rest in Paradise: Michael Clarke Duncan

I swear, writing these posts saddens me to the core all the time but we write them as a way of paying homage to fallen celebrities we've grown to know and love (even if it is only in our heads.) The actor, Michael Clarke Duncan departed from Earth on September 3rd following the circumstances of a heart attacked he suffered earlier this year on July 13th. Michael Clarke Duncan has had numerous film and television roles playing such characters as body guards or some kind of intimidating figure. His most noted roles have been The Green Mile, The Whole Nine Yards, Armageddon, Daredevil and Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins.

On July 13, 2012, Duncan was taken to a hospital after suffering a heart attack. The media reports suggested that his girlfriend, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, had previously tried to sve his life by performing CPR. Duncan's publicist, Joy Fehily, issued a statement on August 6 that read he was moved from the Intensive Care Unit but remained hospitalized following his heart attack.
On September 3, Fehily quoted Manigault as saying that Duncan had died in Los Angeles. He added that celebrations of Duncan's life would be announced at a later date. The statement also, for the first time, described Omarosa as Duncan's fiancee.

Our deepest condolences go out to Omarosa as well as Michael Clarke Duncan's family and friends. He is a face that we will definitely miss on the big screen but we will always remember him.

According to the plea agreement obtained by TMZ, Deebo admitted to a diabolical scheme in which he and several other individuals conspired to obtain four different mortages on homes in Los Angeles using false information and phony bank statements.
