No, you’re not perusing through GOT’s archives and looking at a post from November 2007. Usher and Tameka actually decided to procreate again, as we reported a couple of weeks ago, and the couple gave birth to their second chil together at approximately 3 A.M. this morning, according to The YBF. And it’s a boy! He wasn’t due until the 15th, but he decided to surprise us and come a few days early.

No name has been released yet, and Usher’s people are probably pissed that this has hit the web so soon, since they apparently tried to keep it under wraps for a little while. But we found out anyway, and we’ll bring more info as this story develops.

UPDATE (12/11/08): Usher’s publicist confirmed the news, stating that the baby’s name is Naviyd Ely Raymond. He weighed in at 5 pounds, 13 ounces, and was born yesterday, December 10th, at about 2:30 A.M.

Wait, wait, wait … we know we’re not going senile! Didn’t we just post about Jermaine Dupri making it known that Janet Jackson isn’t pregnant this morning? So what the hell is this all about? We hope this is just another tabloid being messy, but regardless we need answers. A press release, youtube video … something!

A while back Gossip On This gave word of a clothing line named Okley by M.I.A. launching in the U.S. some time this year. Well the singer’s clothing line, which launched in London earlier this year, was finally released to U.S. residents … online. Yup, that’s right! You can’t buy items from the line in stores just yet, but you can place orders online and have them delivered just in time for the holidays!

Just keep in mind that borrowing M.I.A’s swag does come with a “non-recession” price tag! Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Check out the links below.

Okay we’ve already posted about Beyonce once today, but she’s featured on the cover of the latest issue of JET Magazine. And yes, this is Beyonce and not her alter-ego Sasha Fierce. We know the difference.

Ten-time Grammy winner Beyoncé Knowles isn’t holding back these days. With the success of her latest hit, Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), and the Oscar buzz surrounding her role as Etta James in Cadillac Records, this talented diva is making bold moves as she unveils her “true” self. “Sasha is my alter ego. She is the one who is on stage, fearless and bold. She does the up-tempo songs and the powerful dances,” she said. “My fans expect her at my concert so I wanted to give them what they wanted, while showing my true self.” (p. 42)

According to a recent press release, Beyonce and Solange canceled their “Hope for the Holidays” concert. The original plan for the show was to benefit victims of Hurricane Ike, but unfortunately the duo suffered “a set of irresolvable scheduling conflicts.”

The one-hour “Beyonce and Solange: Hope for the Holidays” benefit concert was set to take place last night, December 9th, at Houston’s House of Blues, and was supposed to debut on the Fuse network later on in the month on December 21st.

Wow, this economic recession becomes more and more real every day, as news of the rich and famous falling on hard times losing homes, cars, and other royalties erupts. FOX News is reporting that American Idol Fantasia Barrino is losing her Charlotte, NC mansion and has put it up for auction as the result of not being able to afford taxes from 2006. The home, valuted at $1.1 million, will go on sale in January 2009.

Court documents show that Florida-based Broward Energy Partners agreed to pay more than $68,000 of Barrino’s taxes in October 2006. She repaid $10,000, but a judge later allowed the company to recover the full loan. It’s unclear why the home was chosen as compensation.

A company attorney didn’t return a message Tuesday, and Fantasia’s record label, J Records, had no comment.

Jermaine Dupri wants us all to know that Janet Jackson is NOT pregnant! The Atlanta rapper spoke to Usmagazine.com exclusively, denouncing any and all rumors relating to a Janet Jackson pregnancy. He had a special message for blogger Perez Hilton.

“Does Perez know that lying destroys the credibility of a blogger?” Dupri quipped to Us on Sunday. Rumors began to swirl after Jackson canceled a string of tour dates in October due to a mystery illness. Still, that doesn’t mean Jackson and Dupri aren’t excited about starting a family in the future.

“I’d love to have children,” the singer has told Us. “It’s just up to Jermaine, what he wants to do.” Jackson also spoke about motherhood in an interview with Sister 2 Sister magazine. “Everyone tells me that there will never be a good time, that I will always be busy, but I just think when the stars are aligned it will happen,” she revealed.

The internet is gonna go crazy when it finally happens! We’re prepared to live on our computers when they and the Carters decide to procreate.

Actor Will Smith told reporters last Friday that he’s always had a problem with love scenes, which explains why he’s rarely involved with them in his movies.

“My grandmother was really firm about how men are supposed to treat women. So for me, my worst nightmare is for an actress to … feel like I’m taking this opportunity to get a little quickie feel – you know, some legal cheating going on! I just need, specifically women, to feel comfortable around me. I just don’t want to feel like I’m that dude.”

At a recent promo stop on the The Oprah Winfrey Show, the Seven Pounds star told the popular talk show host how he almost ruined a scene in the movie with co-star Rosario Dawson until his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith gave him the go ahead.

“Jada said, ‘Listen, I know you’re uncomfortable, but you better not embarrass me,’” he said with a laugh. “She said, ‘When you do that love scene, you better show ‘em what you’re working with!’”
