Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
Crazy how celebrities always find a way to make out with other celebs. Usher recently confessed that yes, he HAS kissed Rihanna in the past – but she is not one of the girls he’s currently dating. You heard me, he’s dating multiple girls! Looks like someone’s enjoying the single life! So then, what’s the deal with these two?
Detroit’s tough-skinned pop singer, Porcelain Black, is gearing up for the release of her latest single, “Naughty Naughty.” The unofficial, sexy black and white video was filmed during a recent show at The Factory in Los Angeles. The official video for the song will be released early next year.

Our lady of ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ hit up Rockefeller Plaza to serenade a stew of tweens that started gathering for his service on Monday. Justin Bieber sang ‘Never Say Never’ and a few holiday tunes for the ‘Today Show’ and the crowd on Wednesday. That means crazed fans and their moms sat outside waiting for a free peek for two days.
Usher was the target of an angry citizen who didn’t take his parking in a handicap spot lightly while he was attending an event at Little Five Points in Atlanta, GA when his SUV backed into the spot. At the Halloween event one woman, who appeared to be wearing a school girl outfit began yelling at him.
Yesterday the nominees for this year’s American Music Awardswere announced. The big show is coming up November 20th on ABC. So who was on top with the most nods?
As if Lady Gaga wasn’t weird enough, now you can add the fact that she has requested there be NO ICE available in the entire venue at her concerts! Girl has a big fear of little monsters throwing ice at her, so to make sure this doesn’t happen she bans all ice at each venue 30 minutes prior to her show!
Where else would celebrities such as Blake Lively and Justin Bieber rub shoulders with controversial figures as Iraqi strongman Muqtada al-Sadr and French fascist Marine Le Pen? “TIME Magazine” has released their list of 100 important people for this year – The annual count of the people who, for better or worse, make our world fascinating and includes an essay by their mentors. Bieber got big nods, as well as Bruno Mars in the music world. Amy Poehler and “Glee!” star Chris Colfer were also the big TV stars to get honored on the TIME 100 list.
Apparently Usher didn’t learn his lesson the first time around. He has another older woman calling the shots for him and taking control of his career. Hello mommy issues.
Page Six reports that shortly after his divorce from his stylist turned wife, Tameka Foster, he replaced her with Grace Miguel. Surprise. She is his stylist and now co-manager. Grace is calling the shots in his empire now and convincing him to make huge changes.
“The 43-year-old former Def Jam executive who acts as the hip-hop artist’s co-manager and stylist is urging her beau to clear out his staff including stylists, choreographers and tour managers and replace them with her people, an insider says.”
Usher’s agent, Mark Cheatham, was first to go. Miguel convinced him to fire Mark and use members of her team including a new publicity camp. CCA has removed the ‘OMG’ singer from the client roster. Don’t worry too much for Cheatham. He still represents Justin Bieber.
The report also points out that Tameka also convinced him to fire his mother, Jonetta Patton, as his manager shortly after they married. Usher played it off as a “gift of retirement” for his mom, but Foster was pulling the strings. The sources also assert that the 32 year old is at Miguel’s mercy and “will do whatever she wants him to do right now.”

It’s Monday morning so that means it’s time for a celebrity sex tape rumor. You can pretty much bet that every celeb has a sexy times making tape, photo spread or flip book. (It comes with the PR Tricks of the Trade kit upon becoming relevant.)
According to the story TMZ is shilling, some sex tape thief snatched the video of Usher and his now ex-wife, Tameka Foster, from Usher’s car in December of 2009. The “OMG” singer also reported that the thief also took over $1,000,000 worth of jewelry and electronic gadgets. (I immediately thought of Lindsay Lohan too. We all know how much she loves shiny things. I also question what moron keeps that kind of loot in their car? Yukon does not equal impenetrable vault. Keep your sex tapes at home.)
The site is adamant that the current sex tape owner is trying to sell the video and shared a short clip along with stills from the tape as proof of its legitimacy. They didn’t reveal much, but stated: “We’ll keep this PG-13 and just say … the people in the video are both givers. The video and photos are clear — it’s Usher and Tameka.”
I am not Star Jones, Attorney/Talk Show host, but don’t celebs ultimately have to give the green light for shiz like this to be released? Hence why we have a slew of famehookers on film …ahem…Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson but not one tape of Prince Harry slumming it with a humble American blogger whose name rhymes with Shmara Shmarrington.

Lady Gaga arrived on the Grammy Awards red carpet in a gigantic egg being carried by incredibly buff men. (Click HERE for those pics…) She also performed ‘Born This Way’ just days after its release. (Click HERE for that video..)
The highlight performance of the night easily went to Rihanna, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Skyler Grey and Adam Levine. RiRi started with Love the Way You Lie (part 2) before Eminem took over with Grey and Dre.
Katy Perry also took the stage along with a Grammy during the night’s events.
Usher, Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith all joined forces and took center stage.
