R&B singers Chris Brown and Usher were spotted kicking it courtside Sunday night as the Orlando Magic beat the Cleveland Cavaliers (99 to 89) in Orlando. The glare of Usher’s sunglasses along with the flash of the camera and the arena’s lighting makes it look like Chris has a black eye (as reported by a view other blogs) but clearly in the second photo you see no black eye. Not sure where that rumor came from, but if it were true it’d definitely be pretty funny and ironic. Shout out to Chris Brown Web for the pics!

A statement was released late Tuesday (Mar. 3rd) from Usher’s camp apologizing for comments he made towards fellow singer Chris Brown in a video posted to YouTube by Jermaine Dupri.

“The comments made during a recent recording session amongst friends were taken out of context and blown out of proportion,” the statement reads. “I apologize on behalf of myself and my friends if anyone was offended. The intentions were not to pass judgment and we meant no harm. I respect and wish the best for all parties involved.”

The comments regarded pictures of Brown that emerged over the weekend, which showed him riding a jet ski during what was called his “reconciliation” weekend in Miami with girlfriend Rihanna.

Peep this video of Usher, Jermaine Dupri, Johnta Austin, Bryan Michael Cox and JD’s assistant Tyrone, collectively known as “The Ocean 5 Crew,” clowning Christina Milian for rocking that blonde wig at the Hawks/Cavaliers game in ATL, in addition to talking about the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation, calling the young teens a modern day Ike & Tina. The video was originally posted to Jermaine Dupri’s YouTube account as a part of his “Living the Life” vlog series, but he has since then removed it. Luckily, the CNN of Urban Media (aka World Star Hip Hop) grabbed it and upped it to their site.

Halfway through the video, JD mentions them “having drinks” before filming, which is pretty obvious, especially with Usher shouting and acting a fool through most of the video. Even though the things they were saying were pretty effed up, we had no choice but to laugh. We’re sorry, but the sh*t was funny!

After spending 11 days in intensive care following a plastic surgery procedure that went wrong, Usher’s wife Tameka Raymond was released from a Sao Paulo hospital in Brazil.

According to the Associated Press, a spokeswoman confirmed that Tameka was released on Monday (February 16), but declined to provide any details regarding her treatment. Usher’s camp did not comment at press time. Since being rushed to the hospital during Grammy weekend, it’s been revealed that she had flown to Brazil to undergo a “simple liposuction,” but went into cardiac arrest while being anesthetized. Tameka was placed in an induced coma for 24 hours to stabilize her, while Usher waited by her bedside during recovery.

Usher was scheduled to perform at a pre-Grammy party for Clive Davis, but canceled due to the family emergency. When the news first broke, Usher, through his rep, released this statement: “Tameka Raymond is in stable condition after suffering complications from routine surgery in Brazil. Her husband Usher is with her at the hospital.” The rep also added that the couple do not plan to release any further details and asks for their privacy.

Usher’s wife, Tameka Raymond, underwent what reps are calling “routine surgery” in Brazil over the weekend and Usher had to leave the country to rush to be by her side Sunday night right before the Grammys due to an emergency concerning the operation. Rumors began to swirl across the internet saying that the R&B singer’s wife had died, but fortunately, those rumors were immediately denounced by Usher’s people. As far as the rumors of her undergoing some kind of “cosmetic surgery,” No one has spoken up about that yet.

“Her husband Usher is with her at the hospital,” the rep added. “No further details will be released, and the family requests privacy at this difficult time.” On Saturday night, Usher (full name: Usher Raymond) canceled his performance at the Recording Academy and Clive Davis’s pre-Grammy Gala. Davis told partygoers the singer had to bow out due to a “serious injury in the family.”

On Sunday, Davis, CEO of Sony Music Worldwide, told PEOPLE. “I talked to his mom [Jonetta Patton]. My thoughts are with them, whatever they’re facing.” The couple, married since August 2007, have two children.

Here’s to a speedy recovery for Mrs. Raymond and our prayers are with her and her family.

Here’s an unreleased track from Usher’s lackluster “Here I Stand” album. Produced by Soundz, the track is called “Get Used to Her,” and after seeing the title I could immediately pinpoint that this was from this most recent era. Just look at it … he’s obviously talking about Tameka. He’s basically telling everyone to get used to her because she isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, despite the rumors and how anyone else feels. He apparently loves this woman and wants to stick by her, which is something that should definitely be respected.

But isn’t it about time for him to hit the studio and redeem himself and his career? Don’t get me wrong, Usher’s doing his thing and what-not, despite him not selling many albums from this last project or having much of a tour to support it. But let’s just say I still keep Confessions, 8701 and My Way in present rotation and Here I Stand really hasn’t been touched since I first listened to it. And I can guarantee you I’m not the only person who feels that way.
