Usher Wants Sexy Back

via bossip:

Here’s what Usher had to say in regards to FALLING OFF BIGTIME after marrying Tameka Foster and putting out Here I Stand

“I had checked out,” the singer acknowledges. “I went all the way into being super husband and super dad, thinking, ‘I’ve got to be serious all the time. I’ve got to be the man.’ I put my swagger down for a minute, but I didn’t throw it away. Now it’s time to get it back.”

Somebody get this dude some bengay, he sounds like an old cornball with that swag sh*t!

Usher’s team doesn’t sound much better… even his A&R agrees Ush’s image has become stale as hell, detailing how the game plan for the new album involved some major freshening up.

It was more about “we’ve got to get this old-man shit off you; you’ve got to have some fun,” says Mark Pitts, who A&R’d the project and is president of black music for Jive Label Group. “We said, ‘We’ve got to get the guys wanting to be him and the girls wanting to do him.’ That was our approach.”

The story also confirms that Usher has ditched momager Jonetta Patton again and has AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips managing him now… Sounds extra nervous to us.

And while Usher worked with Dre & Vidal, Pharrell Williams, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Polow Da Don, Johntá Austin, Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, Sean Garrett, the Runners, Jim Jonsin, Rico Love, Ester Dean and Jive labelmate Miguel, many of these names are the same ones that failed to help Ush deliver the last time around.

It also sounds like most of his team seems to be hinging the success of the new album on his Nicki Minaj collabo “Lil Freak.”

Do y’all think that joint is even good enough to be getting anybody’s swagger back??? Is Usher still that guy, or should he go ahead and start plotting on Brian McKnight and other “old heads” audiences?

Not So Hollywood...It's Down Right unHollywood...

I Can't Help But Think: WTF

Monica Speaks

Singer Monica broke up up with her famous rapper boyfriend and spoke with blogger sandra. This is the only statement that Monica will give. She asks that the media (and bloggers) respect her privacy during these trying times..

I know there were many rumors. And Sandra, I appreciate that you never dug into them for the sake of both our families. I am going to rest today & go back to work tomorrow. I am going to do what I have always done. Focus on my children, my family & my career. Rock was put under a lot of harsh scrutiny during our entire relationship and I’m sure that was not easy.

However at this point our focus is being great parents. He is a great father to his children and, continuing forward, that is my only concern. With every breath in our bodies we will make sure that they feel as little pain as possible And continue to have the lives they had before with no attention dedicated to our separation. I will not be speaking on the subject further unless it is with God whom I believe does everything with reason. I love my children and their father and I’m truly grateful for those that loved and supported us through the good and the bad throughout the years.

Chris The Do Gooder

Chris Brown read to the kids at Sisulu-Walker Charter School’s annual “Family Read Night” school in Harlem the other day. He looks happy and I can only hope he's not just doing this for positive press. Someone get at me and let me know. Oh he is also officially back on twitter. So congrats Chris on the good work, and as far as the twitter thing, let the games begin.
