Beyonce and Jay-Z together, without a doubt, is the definition of “black love.” For our generation at least! They’ve been together for over 5 years, and have close to $170 million in the bank (combined), making them Hollywood’s richest couple! Much of their relationship is kept private, but their lives as celebrities, coupled with their fame and huge success as artists and entrepreneurs, makes it hard not to want to know more about them! We put them at the top of our list this time last year, but the only difference between then and now is that they are married. The two decided to tie the knot in a “private” ceremony in April 2008. And if you were around and living on planet earth, you definitely heard about it! After People.com announced that the two had taken out a marriage license in New York, the events that happened the weekend of April 4th 2008 were inevitable. After several black SUVs with heavily tinted windows were seen entering Jay-Z’s Manhattan apartment, in addition to the dozens of vans bringing in wedding decorations, we all knew what was going on.

Every paparazzo in the world set up shop outside of the apartment and snapped photos of Solange Knowles (Beyonce’s sister), Tina & Mathew Knowles (Beyonce’s parents), Michelle Williams, Kelly Rowland, Irv Gotti, and more entering the apartment building’s ground-level garage. The list went on and on, but after seeing all of these people entering one place, we knew Beyonce and Jay-Z were DEFINITELY getting married. People.com actually confirmed it the next morning, and shortly after, we spotted the two wearing their wedding bands. These two getting married was definitely the talk of the blogosphere for the months to follow. And even though “Jayonce” never really confirmed their wedding, in several interviews that followed (Oprah, The Tyra Banks show, Essence Magazine, etc.) they were referred to as husband and wife, and neither contested it. But these two are the same people who never confirmed their initial relationship, so we’re definitely used to it!

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.

R&B singer Usher and his wife Tameka are receiving a rather nice gift this Christmas. During an early morning interview on Stevie Wonder’s morning show, the “In This Club” singer announced that he and Tameka are expecting another son to be born this month (December 2008).

Doctors told the couple that they’re having another boy, and he’s due to arrive on Dec. 15th, just in time for the holidays. Usher told Access Hollywood that their new bundle of joy will be “one of the best Christmas gifts there is to have. There are a few names,” he told Access. “But if you guys have any unique one, please feel free to hit me up. Let me know.” It was around this time last November when Usher and Tameka welcomed their first child together, Usher Raymond V. He turned one last Wednesday (Nov. 26th).

The … “happily married” couple’s first child, Usher Raymond V, just celebrated a birthday. He was born November 26th 2007.

When Jonetta Patton is managing the career of her successful R&B singer son, Usher, she’s apparently scamming limo drivers. Usher’s mom/manager is currently under investigation by Dekalb County Police after a freelance limo driver for her Atlanta-based transportation company, JCarr Transportation, filed a complaint alleging she cheated him out of a $1,668 paycheck.

Ms. Patton and her company are accused of scamming the limo driver while he worked for them during the BET Hip-Hop Awards, which were held in Atlanta back in October 2008. A representative for the company said the following to TMZ:

“The drivers were hired as independent contractors and are paid 30-45 days net when working on special events of the magnitude of the BET Hip Hop Awards that took place on Oct. 18th. They were hired at the recommendation of an employee who was recently terminated by JCarr and are disgruntled that their services are no longer being used by the company as a result of the unprofessional nature of the fired employee.”

Wow…

Usher claims that he was speechless Tuesday night when it was announced that Barack Obama would be our new president beginning next January! He also made the claim that he would have moved out of the country if hell somehow reached arctic temperatures and McCain had won.

Barack Obama doesn’t represent a color. He represents change. I think this sets us off in the right direction in terms of change of tone. … The fact that so many people were encouraged by [his] words … by his message. It was never self-serving, it was always for country. Country first!”

In terms of his own personal reaction to the outcome of the election, the 30-year-old added: “Man, this is incredible, after a lot of campaigning, and then a lot of prayer … It’s so incredible to see that this historical thing has happened, man. Before it was a thought of what happens if he doesn’t win,” the singer continued. “The public service that went into this and the encouragement that’s come out of it, it’s just incredible to see it happen.”

The musician also revealed he was prepared to uproot himself temporarily had things turned out differently. “In the event he didn’t win, I gave some thought to leaving the country,” he conceded before happily interjecting that such a drastic measure would not be necessary. “I’m proud to be an American.” [ SOURCE ]

Usher was spotted Sunday in Toronto on a Canadian TV Show MuchOnDemand.
