You’ve probably seen the commercials featuring celebrities whose brands are sold at Macy’s. They’re cute, and pretty funny - which is high praise coming from me, because I hate commercials! However, the latest ad in the series will be hard to hate, because it’s for a good cause. Martha Stewart, Mariah Carey, Usher, Jessica Simpson, Donald Trump, Queen Latifah, Emeril Lagasse and Tommy Hilfiger appear in a pitch to support the nation’s largest huger relief charity, Feeding America.
The commercial shows the stars at a dinner party, and asks the public to hold dinner parties at which they ask their guests to contribute to Feeding America. Macy’s has agreed to match every dollar donated by the public one to one.
Of his participation in this latest ad, Usher said:
“To get together and do something philanthropic is just incredible.”
Check out the video to hear more from the participants and see behind the scenes footage!

R&B artist Usher, who just recently filed for divorce and is going to fight for custody of his kids, is the latest celeb to get a milk mustache. Yep, we have to thank lowfat milk for Usher’s sexy rocking hot body, which is certainly one of the best in the business.
Body by Milk Ads: Let it flow.
I pour my heart into my music. How do I stay in tune? With milk. The protein and nutrients in lowfat milk help me build muscle and stay fit. So eat right, exercise and grab a glass of ice-cold milk.
Now that’s chill.
Do you really want to be as hot as Usher?? Then you need to drink a lot of milk, workout regularly and it always helps to have some good genes.
I do agree with Usher about the ice-cold milk, I can’t even really stand the smell of warm milk… unless it’s mixed with chocolate or honey but that’s not really healthy…

… as a designer, that is. Sexy singer Usher is exploring a new line of work.
“You may have heard that I might be launching a lingerie line for men and woman,” he told Women Wear Daily. “Comfort and intimacy is very important.”
He was at Marlies Dekker at Paris Fashion Week “getting inspiration.”
So ladies (and gentlemen) if you’ve ever dreamed of having Usher in your pants, now you really can. Let’s just hope he doesn’t ask his wife Tameka Foster to model for him, hmmm?

Keith Urban, Natasha Bedingfield and Usher schmoozed with the media and kicked of the beginning of the NFL season. I still can’t believe it’s already that time of year again! But let’s just focus on Keith. He has some killer blue eyes and is now a dad. That makes him really hot. I’m a little bit jealous of Nicole Kidman that gets to see him get ready every day.

R&B hottie Usher introduces us to his baby son Usher V on the cover of the August edition of Essence. He talks about how he hopes his son will look up to him someday:
Now I represent what he is to become,” Usher says about his son. “He’s gonna admire me, he’s gonna look up to me. He’s gonna say, ‘I wanna be’ – or he should say – ‘I wanna be like my father. I wanna be a man of valor. I wanna possess what my father has as a man.’”
I’ve gotta say, I was a bit worried that baby Usher would take after his mom, but he sure looks a lot like Dad in this picture! Very cute! And I must say that Essence sure has had some stunning covers lately. Whoever is styling them should get a raise!

Usher is crazy! He thinks he needs to defend the reason why ladies are lesbians…
“Women have started to become lovers of each other as a result of not having enough men.”
Seriously Usher, they have become lovers of each other because they aren’t into men. Duh!

Usher married long time girlfriend and mother of his child to be Tameka Foster over the weekend in Atlanta. Their wedding last weekend was called off due to varying differences depending upon the source.
POSTED BY: SavannahThe couple, who are expecting their first child this winter, were reportedly married in the Atlanta office of the singer’s lawyer. That’s way different from the over-the-top affair they had originally planned. According to reports, Usher and his bride were to celebrate their union at the NY home of music tycoon LA Reid. Celeb chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten had been hired to whip up the wedding feast, and singer Robin Thicke (and others) were lined up to perform. The wedding was so extravagant — the couple spent $10,000 on invitations alone.

R&B star Usher has moved to dismiss suggestions that his planned wedding to his girlfriend is off.The Grammy award-winner cancelled his wedding on Saturday, prompting reports that his relationship with Tameka Foster had broken down.
But speaking briefly to US Weekly magazine the star, who has also appeared on screen and stage, suggested the wedding would be rescheduled.
“As of right now we don’t have a date but we will let you know when we do,” Usher said as he and his partner arrived in Manhattan.
Following the cancellation, rumours circulated that Usher’s pregnant girlfriend had been rushed to hospital after experiencing problems, but the 28-year-old singer moved to allay fears.
“Everybody’s fine. Tameka and the baby are fine,” he said.
The couple arrived hand-in-hand at the Mandarin Oriental in New York yesterday and when asked how she was feeling by a reporter, Tameka said: “We’re good. We’re all doing great now.”

In an open letter to People magazine, Usher speaks out about his relationship with fiance Tameka Foster, rumors about their wedding and of tension between her and his mother. He also addresses the recent accusation by radio host Tom Joyner that Usher threatened him.
POSTED BY: Lexie“It has already been announced that I plan to marry this year. However, since my wedding day will be special to Tameka and I, this is information that we would like to keep private. It’s disturbing that the media and bloggers (under the guise as ‘fans’) continuously speculate on the personal aspects of my life, therefore making assumptions and wrong insinuations that my fans are subject to believe.
“I am happy, excited, completely clear and independent on my direction, feelings, decisions and I am NOT BEING LED. Some media and bloggers have been totally intrusive, they have misconstrued aspects of my personal life and, because of this, my ‘true’ fans are not sure about what is fact and what is fiction. There is a difference in stating an opinion versus drawing a conclusion that is incorrect.
“As previously reported, I have NEVER threatened or harassed anyone from any media format – print, radio, television or Internet media. At this point the best thing to say to my fans is just because it sounds enticing and it MAY sound ‘true,’ that does not make it truth. I understand the fact that I must sacrifice some anonymity for the career I love, however some things are personal like having a child or a marriage. These aspects are not for the public and, to me, are sacred. I would hope my privacy in these areas would be respected.”
