Posted by Brian
After suggestions that his wife is envious of his large number of female fans, Tameka claims she has adjusted to the fact that her husband has a substantial amount of female admirers. In a recent interview, Usher insists, “Tameka doesn’t mind when the fans throw their underwear at me. Being a sex symbol pays the bills. And she knows that.”

Brawl @ Usher Concert
Posted by Brian
In a performance at the “This Day Music and Fashion Festival 2008″ in Abuja, Nigeria a drunken brawl broke out right in front of the stage @ 1am. Security guards attempted to break up the scuffle as members of the crowd were shoved towards the platform and one man was removed from the venue-The Dome. It is unclear whether the unnamed male was arrested, as one source claimed, or was simply forbidden from re-entering the concert. Though marred by violence, nobody was seriously injured. The show also saw performances from rap superstar Jay-Z and pop star Rihanna.

Usher May Go Crawling Back Home

After firing his mother last year, Usher is reportedly considering re-hiring his mother as his manager after his latest album failed to live up to expectations. The singer ended his 15-year professional relationship with Jonetta Patton and her JPat Record Label just days before Mother’s Day (last year.
Usher replaced Patton with managing mogul Benny Medina – responsible for the careers of heavyweights such as Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez. But he is now allegedly blaming Medina for disappointing sales of his new album Here I Stand.
The CD debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard charts, but sold just 433,000 copies in its first week – compared to his 2004 album Confessions, which came in at a staggering 1.1 million.
A source tells the New York Daily News, “Usher was livid. He threatened to fire everyone. People have been telling Usher to listen to his mother. Nobody knows how to sell him better than she does. Usher can be stubborn. But he may be ready (to re-hire his mother).”
His mother can surely help, but some songs on the new album that compared to the Confessions album would have helped too. Confessions was a classic and the new album maybe has five or six good songs. That may be the real problem.
