It has been reported that Usher and his wife Tameka Foster are expecting their second child together, despite rumors they split up a couple of months ago.

Their first child, Usher Raymond V, was born in November 2007.

The unlikely trio of Usher, Natasha Bedingfield and Keith Urban were on hand to help the kick off for the new NFL season at a free concert at Manhattan’s Columbus Circle in New York City on Thursday (September 4).

In related news, it has been reported that Usher and his wife/baby mama Tameka Foster-Raymond have split up, despite her being pregnant with their second child.

There has been no denials or confirmations from Ushers camp.

There isn’t many male fans of Usher but for those of you that there is, don’t expect to be able to see him in concert as he is going on an all ladies only tour.

The 29-year-old singer said the One Night Stand tour will be out on the road for 15 “intimate” venues.

Speaking to the AP about the tour he said “there’s only a few artists that can pull that off, 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?”

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Usher and Jermaine Dupri were sent running out of a club on Friday night (August 1) after gunshots were heard in the venue.

Dupri was hosting an event at Club Dream in Atlanta, Georgia when the gunshots were heard, sending people in the crowd running for their lives. TMZ has photos of Diddy being escorted out by his bodyguard.

Only one minor injury has been reported and there has been no suspects named yet. Gabrielle Union and Larenz Tate were also at the club.

Around the time of Usher’s last album, when he was his usual cocky self, he said this about Justin Timberlake. “There simply is no comparison between me and Justin. He can’t even stand in the same lane as me, ever.”

So what does he have to say about Justin now that he is one of the biggest superstars in the world? “I regret it,” he says, shaking his head, “because he’s a great friend of mine now. I was young and didn’t know better. “We were both being kids and he turned out to be a really cool guy, and we’re talking about doing something together for the repackaging of my album. If we ever worked together, though, it would be the biggest record ever.”

It amazes me how Usher has managed to apologize for being a douche, yet being a bigger douche in the process. The biggest record ever? I’m sure it would be big, but don’t kid yourself.

So for people who are contemplating buying his new album, DON’T, like he said they are going to repackage it. So wait and just buy the repackaged version, or you could ya know, not buy either and just download it.

Usher made a bit of a mistake this past weekend, he was opening for Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Maidstone, Kent, UK. What did he say when he came out? Hello Manchester - a complete different city. I wonder if that is because he is rumored to be full of himself, or he was simply working too much? Either way the crowd was not pleased and some of the 20,000 attendees were so unimpressed they started to boo. Usher continued on and then performed some of his old music and newer stuff.

Madonna was the headline act of the free concert and sang mostly new stuff. The oldest songs she played was Music. “Speaking to Radio 1 DJ Jo Whiley before her performance, Madonna explained why she wanted to play the songs she picked. She said: “Obviously, I want to do new stuff because I’m very excited about it.” BBC

Of course, Madonna being Madonna had to stir it up, so she decided to swear on live T.V. :

Holding an S&M-style cane, she introduced her song Hung Up to fans at the concert in Maidstone, Kent, saying: “You guys are going to have to start f***ing it up out there ’cos I need to feel some love. I’m going to do an old song. But not too old. F**k the present. Let’s live in the past.” The Sun

The BBC has recieved complaints because of it, if you remember she also decided to say fuck at live aid which the BBC also got complaints for. Good job this didn’t happen in the states, people would have tried ban her or something.
