Usher’s Mom Makes Quite An Impression On The Set Of
‘Trading Places’ Video
OK, working at MTVizzle or “The Matrix” as my friends call it, I’ve met a whole
lot of people. But here on the set of Usher’s latest video for “Trading Places,”
I got to meet one of the coolest people in the biz. And it’s not who you think!
I’m talking about Usher’s mom. I’m sorry, but Ms. Jonnetta Patton is one of the
best mommagers ever. And the best part of it all is how much she and her son
resemble each other. Love it!
Oh, and this video is fire. Classic Usher, ladies! And for you fellas, there’s
some eye candy for you too.
Thanks Savanna for posting the link :-)

Usher is going to be a father for the second time.
This will be Tameka's 5th child and Usher's 2nd.
Recently, Foster was spotted wearing a belly-disguising outfit during
Usher's Sept. 4 NFL kick-off concert in New York. The dress was "very
deceiving," the source says. "You couldn't tell she was pregnant when she
was sitting down."
Usher's rep could not be reached for comment.

The R&B singer revealed in a recent interview with The Associated Press that he
will soon announce details of his "One Night Stand" tour. He said specific dates
are still being worked out for about 15 "intimate" venues.
"There's only a few artists that can pull that off," explained Usher. "I feel
like I've had such a connection with my audience. This album, I felt like, was
definitely the type of one that was more intimate. So what better way to get up
close and personal than to make it all women?"
The R&B crooner revealed that he plans to release his own line of lingerie and
men's underwear.
Usher is also working on a video for his new single "Trading Places."

Like the NFL teams beginning their new seasons, Usher is hoping to go all the
way to the Super Bowl. The R&B singer will perform the season's first concert on
Thursday in New York's Columbus Circle along with Keith Urban and Natasha
Bedingfield. The 3 p.m. concert will be held just before the season opener, when
the Washington Redskins take on the Super Bowl champion New York Giants. Like
the Redskins and Giants, Usher is aiming for the big game in February. The game
might be the destination of all football players; it's also one of the most
sought-after gigs in music.
Although the guest list continues to grow by the minute, celebrities like Matt
Damon, Madonna, Ben Affleck, Wyclef Jean, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kanye West, George
Clooney and Warren Beatty are said to be confirmed for the convention.

Usher is releasing two new singles from his latest effort “Here I Stand.”
Although his album “Here I Stand” opened with over 400,000 copies sold it has
yet to live up to its predecessor “Confessions.” With that being said, Usher
released “Trading Places” and “Here I Stand,” the album’s title track to radio
this week in hopes that the singles will give the album the push that it needs
to bring him back to prominence amidst competition from R&B singers Chris Brown,
Robin Thicke, Joe, and Lloyd, who are all making moves on the charts.
Usher’s second single “Moving Mountains” peaked at #67 on the Billboard Hot 100
since it’s release in June.

The R&B hitmaker has dumped Hollywood power broker Benny Medina and rehired mom
Jonnetta Patton as his manager, E! News has exclusively learned.
Sources say the Medina split is a direct result of poor management and
disappointing record sales for the team's first and only collaboration, Here I
Stand.
"He's leaving Benny. The record is pretty stiff, and nowhere nearly as
successful as Confessions," an insider says of the singer's 2004 blockbuster
album.

R&B star Usher's concert in Nigeria in the early hours of Saturday morning (July
12, 2008) was marred by violence when a fight broke out in the crowd.
The Love In This Club hitmaker was performing at the This Day Music and Fashion
Festival 2008 in the country's capital of Abuja at around 1am when the drunken
brawl took place in front of the stage.
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 currently unclear whether the unnamed male was arrested, as one source
claimed, or was simply forbidden from re-entering the concert. Nobody was
seriously injured.
This first came out in November of 2006 when Usher partnered with Armani Exchange to supports the New Look’s 'Project Restart'.
