By L.T. Dinwiddie This interview had to be one of the most funniest interviews I have listed to in a long time. Click the link to listen to Usher and Miss Jones trying to be civil and conduct an interview. The operative word being "trying".
By L.T. Dinwiddie The Maneka, and Usher drama continues to unfold as The National Inquirer has just revealed that they have police records that show’ Tameka Foster’s criminal history. Apparently she’s been arrested for welfare fraud, and petty theft.
But guess who’s rumored to be releasing the scandalous tidbits? Maneka’s own sister, Valencia Foster. This is the police record that was found on the Internet earlier today. Whether or not Usher knows about his faience’s sordid past isn’t clear, but what is clear is that this chick isn’t a good look for him or his career.
Usher and his ambiguous counterpart are set to walk down the aisle this weekend in the Hamptons.
By L.T. Dinwiddie It’s obvious that Usher is feeling the pressure from the public's opinion regarding his bearedTameka because he has just released a statement to People.com.
"It has already been announced that I plan to marry this year. However, since my wedding day will be special to Tameka and I, this is information that we would like to keep private. It's disturbing that the media and bloggers (under the guise as 'fans') continuously speculate on the personal aspects of my life, therefore making assumptions and wrong insinuations that my fans are subject to believe.
"I am happy, excited, completely clear and independent on my direction, feelings, decisions and I am NOT BEING LED. 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. There is a difference in stating an opinion versus drawing a conclusion that is incorrect.
"As previously reported, I have NEVER threatened or harassed anyone from any media format – print, radio, and television (BULLSHIT USHER) or Internet media. At this point the best thing to say to my fans is just because it sounds enticing and it MAY sound 'true,' that does not make it truth. I understand the fact that I must sacrifice some anonymity for the career I love, however some things are personal like having a child or a marriage. These aspects are not for the public and, to me, are sacred. I would hope my privacy in these areas would be respected." – Usher
Usher you are a mess! First off all we ALL watched you harass television correspondent Wendy Williams at the Soul Train Music Awards a couple of years ago. And, if anyone who reads this blog is from Atlanta. Then you are already aware of Usher’s verbal attack on a very small famed female celebrity photographer he dished out at a very well known and respected attorney’s private party thrown for Jermaine Dupri.
No matter how you look at this it aint looking good for Usher to be linked to this “woman” (although the jury isn’t out on that one). People don’t like her, his mother doesn’t like her. Fans don’t like her. I guess he won’t be happy until his album flops and then he will see the error of his ways.
"We are extremely excited at this point in our lives planning our wedding and the joy that comes with expecting our first child together," the couple said in a statement released to the Associated Press Wednesday. "We hope people will be happy for us and respect our privacy during this happy period in our lives."
Aint nobody respecting nothing as far as I’m concerned. Why the hell cant Usher and Man-eka respect the fact that we aren’t dummies.
Although, I will not hate on Maneka’s game because they both seem to be benefiting off this arrangement. He needs a beard, and she needs a rich man to take care of her. It’s a perfect fit.
I don’t care how many children they have. I still know the truth about this relationship. I saw them at the at HOT 107.9 Bash backstage and while everyone in sight turned into complete groupies, I stood there taking it ALL in.
Maneka has some truly manish qualities and they dont look good together at all. Can you say mismatch?? Note to self -- next time pay attention to celebrities bellies. Damn, I could of had an exclusive if I had just paid a little more attention.
By L.T. Dinwiddie Damn can I open my eyes and get a good stretch before everyone starts blowing up my email about Tranny look alike Tameka Foster. Listen, we all know the stylist turned home wrecker by now so let me just get into this “interview” Tameka recently participated in for Essence.com
Tameka Foster takes on the Queen of All Media
Radio Talk: "Wendy Williams Is Obsessed With Me"
Essence.com: You aren't just talked about in cyberspace; you're being shouted out on the airwaves as well, especially by shock jock Wendy Williams.
Tameka Foster: Wendy Williams is obsessed with me. I think that is so sexy to have someone talk about me every day, especially when I don't have a CD, demo or TV pilot. I'm just a stylist and designer and if I can be mentioned in the same breath as Diddy, then I must be doing something right. I think she loves me more than she lets on. I need to make her a part of my marketing team.
Essence.com: Has she ever met you?
T.F.: Yes, I appeared on her show a couple of years ago after meeting her at a fashion party for Rocawear at the Hotel Gansevoort in Manhattan. She invited me to come on her show and talk about my clients. I knew she'd ask me some personal things. When I showed up she jumped right into asking me questions about Usher and his mom and whether or not he is rude to her and if they get along. I didn't go there for that... So her version is that I was drunk and I came to her show to air dirty laundry on Usher. But the truth is she got mad because I wouldn't dish on anybody.
“Oooooo” I can take many things but I just cant stand a liar . Which makes working in this industry very difficult at times. If anyone listens to The Wendy Williams Experience then you know full well that Wendy doesn’t need some unknown (at the time) stylist to come on her show to lie about people. First off it isn’t that serious, secondly Wendy, as well as the rest of us, have enough celebrity truth’s to focus on then to make up sh*t
Tameka Foster talks about her fantasy wedding and walking down the aisle as Mrs. Usher Raymond
Love Jones: "I have a good man in every sense of the word"
Essence.com: When did you know that Usher was The One?
Tameka Foster: I knew he was the man for me when I told him personal things about me and he didn't flinch. I never felt like he judged me. Instead, he just accepted me for who I am. I am 36 with three children so I don't the body of a 21-year-old. I have flaws, I have an attitude problem, I never make flights and the list goes on. Overall, I have issues that a person could either love or hate, but he accepted me completely. And every day he still treats me like we just met. He opens my car door, calls me to ask if I need anything. He gives a 100 percent and doesn't waver on consistency.
Essence.com: Aww, Black love. So why do you think people still believe this is all a publicity stunt?
T.F.: That's so foolish. Usher doesn't have to date any woman to sell albums. He has one of the best voices and can outperform almost anyone. He naturally garners attention wherever he goes. The fact is he has many options and could have chosen to be with anyone, including a Hollywood actress that the press would have loved to write about daily.
Somebody get me some coffee. It is far too early for this bullsh*t. First off yes Usher does publicize his relationships to sell albums..and secondly he does not have one of the best voices in the game. And she says he can outperform anyone…I bet you he cant hold a flame to his new replacement Chris Brown. Yea, I said it!!!!
Essence.com: What do you say to those who question the sincerity of your relationship?
T.F.: Tell them to keep watching. Usher has done a major coming-of-age. So if he's doing anything that doesn't fit the cookie-cutter image people expect from him, then they have something negative to say. If I'm not the right person for him, let time tell. I don't know that we'll be together until we die, but we're happy now and we ain't bothering nobody.
**Translation** "I’m spending his money and having a good ass time. If he drops me after this next album because he needs a new beard, then that’s on him."
OK, so I didn’t know that Usha's little brother produced that hot track from Lloyd's new album, "Get It Shawty". But after watching this video of Usha's interacting with his younger counterpart it made me want to run to the bathroom and lose my lunch.
I know I must sound like a hater but why does Usha have this air of “Holier then thou” about him? I just don’t understand it. Yea he can sing (a little). Yea he can dance (a little). Yea he’s sold a few million albums; OK fine he’s sold over 24 million. But the one thing that makes entertainers desirable—no homo about that sentence, is their humbleness, which it’s apparent that he’s not.
I know in this city (Atlanta) speaking negatively about Usha is about as blasphemes as talking about Jesus Christ himself, but I don’t care. Check out the video and tell me if you understand what I’m saying.
