Usher and Son Cover Essence Magazine

Monday, July 7th 2008

9 Comments

Usher and his 8 month old son Usher V grace the cover of the August 2008 issue of Essence Magazine. In this issue Usher talks about marriage, and being a father.

Usher on Fatherhood:

“He’s gonna admire me, he’s gonna look up to me. He’s gonna say, ‘I wanna be’ or he should say – ‘I wanna be like my father.”

Usher on his Marriage:

“They think that it was forced. I’ve heard a lot of comments like, “Oh, she trapped him.” “He got a baby by her, and then she’s married and she’s set for life.” “No. She wasn’t pregnant when I asked her to marry me. There’s some sort of huge conspiracy over this, the fact that I made these choices in my life. No I grew older. As a man, I have to take responsibility and take a hold of my life. I’m accountable for what happens to my life now.”

Are y’all feeling this cover? I think it’s cute.

★ [CANDIDS] Mya // Chris Brown & Rihanna // Diddy // Terry Crews & his kids // Oprah, Tyler Perry & Gayle King // Reggie Bush & Kim Kardashian

Here are some flicks of Mya (don’t feel bad if you don’t remember who she is) vacationing on the beaches of Barbados. I hear homegirl dipped out on a recent performance and pissed off the locals. The fact that she was even gonna attempt to revive her long-ago dead career should have pissed them off.

Hell, the last time we saw her, she was doing the peanut butter stomp with Yo Gabba Gabba. Unfortunately if you would like to see the former singer making a fool of herself, then you’ll have to do your own perusing around youtube, because the video we posted here is “no longer available.”

Career … or no career, I’d still hit. 2wice! =)

♫ Brandy – “List” // “Sometimes”

Monday, July 7th 2008

BRANDY

New music from Brandy has been leaked and I must say that it feels good to finally hear her voice again. Brandy has to be one of the most underrated artists I know. Her voice is never bogus and I can’t wait to hear more from her on this upcoming album. She’s working with her long time friend and super producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins. Bryan-Michael Cox and Danjahandz is also on board with this new album. Some of tracks will be written by Keri Hilson. Looking at this lineup this album is looking good already. One of the tracks, “List”, is produced by The Underdogs (Jordin Sparks’s “No Air”, Chris Brown’s “Take You Down” and more). The track “Sometimes” is a smooth ballad and sounds like it’s produced by B-Cox. Check out both tracks below.

Wesley Snipes Free to Leave the Country For Work

Monday, July 7th 2008

1 Comment

Convicted actor Wesley Snipes has been granted permission by a judge to leave the country and spend three days in London to complete post-production on one movie, and spend eight weeks in Thailand to film another. The actor’s lawyers are currently in the process of appealing his February 2008 conviction of three counts of willfully failing to file his income taxes.

Back in late June, Snipes filed a request in federal court for permission to leave the country. His lawyers’ claim was that him not being able to do those movies would jeopardize his “future livelihood as an actor,” which in turn, would make it hard for him to pay Uncle Sam back.

Oh, okay, I get it! They’ll allow him to leave the country as a convicted felon just so that he can pay the government back. Makes perfect sense. As long as they can get theirs I guess. If this ain’t special treatment, I don’t know what is.

“Mr. Snipes will, of course, voluntarily return after his work on this film—as he has done each time he has been granted permission by this court,” defense attorney Daniel Meachum wrote in Wednesday’s filing, which was obtained by the Orlando Sentinel.

Are they forgetting about the time he got ghost back in 2006 and the IRS couldn’t find him? I don’t see this whole situation ending too nicely. Unless he’s being watched 24/7 by some big ass security guards, after all’s said and done, this negro’s gonna be harder to find than Osama Bin Laden.
