Billionaire mogul Tyle Perry, who has long publicly professed to be a Christian, was captured on the weekend stuffing money into a twerking stripper’s underwear, according to several videos that have been posted online (but we will not be sharing here.) Tyler was attending a massive party thrown by musician Usher that saw several strippers twerking and dancing on stage and poles, directly in front of him, wearing see-through undergarments. The money that Tyler was seen putting into the stripper’s clothingwas “Usherbucks,” an artificial money created by Usher that he occasionally hands out for people to play with. It is...

In a recent interview, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ longtime rival Marion “Suge” Knight has claimed that Diddy’s alleged misconduct “was taught from people before him, and he did it to the younger people after him.” The former CEO and founder of Death Row Records, who is serving nearly three decades for voluntary manslaughter, told NewsNation on September 24 over a phone call from prison that artists who were signed to his label initially used to smoke weed only. However, once they joined other record labels, such as Diddy’s Bad Boy Records, they reportedly got involved with “heavier drugs.” “Those guys… they...

Forget about goal posts! Usher could bring stripper poles to the Super Bowl as the vaunted halftime show’s latest musical controversy. The NFL has announced that Usher will be headlining the halftime show at the 2024 Super Bowl show. But a major concern for the star could be how to bring a favorite element of his act — stripper poles — to the notoriously conservative annual spectacular. The “DJ Got Us Falling In Love” singer regularly includes exotic dancing in his act, including at his Las Vegas residency, and dancers have even been known to “steal the show.” “Usher plans...

My courageous son, Kile Glover, fought for two weeks with unwavering strength until his passing on...

“It’s not the years in your life, but the life in your years,” was among president Abraham Lincoln’s most profound quotes. It immediately comes to mind when thinking about Phil Coyne. Not because Coyne’s life has been short on years, but because he’s fit so much life, so much passion and so many experiences that would make any baseball fan jealous into his now 99 years on earth. For 81 years, Coyne has led fans to their seats at baseball games in Pittsburgh. He started at Forbes Field as an 18-year-old back in 1936. He moved with the team to...

Bill Clinton totally got the treatment from celebrities on his belated birthday celebration. Usher ripped his pants in front of the former U.S. president while Lady GaGa raised her middle finger and danced suggestively in front of him and his family. "A Decade of Difference: A Concert Celebrating 10 Years of the William J. Clinton Foundation" was held in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 15. The highlight of the day was when GaGa changed her hit "Bad Romance" to "Bill Romance". "I'm 25 and just four years ago I was living in a teeny tiny apartment in New York, praying...

Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Usher and 50 Cent are among the artists being pressured to return money received after performing for Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi and his family members, RollingStone.com reports. Carey reportedly was paid $1 million to sing for Qaddafi's son, Muatassim, Libya's national-security adviser, at a New Year's Eve party on St. Barts in 2008. 50 Cent performed for Qaddafi's son in 2005, and Beyonce and Usher performed at a party in 2009 -- all for undisclosed sums of money.

The following letter was confirmed to me by Mr. Greenberg with the following statement:"The letter was sent to Senators Sessions, Hatch, Grassley, Graham and Coburn. It was also sent to Cong. Peter King (R) NY. The story is being covered extensively by the photo blogs, the trade publications and the NY Times. No politician has responded. The NY Times quotes attributed to me are accurate and therefore I assume that the quotes of my adversary Mr. Fairhurst are accurate as well."Text of the letter: I am an attorney in NYC who represented White House Photographer Chris Usher in litigation against...

In an era when slides and negatives are no longer the coin of the realm, the case of Usher v. Corbis-Sygma may seem to have lost much timeliness. Except for this: one member of the three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals that most recently heard the case was Judge Sonia Sotomayor. The portfolio included photographs Mr. Usher had taken during the 2000 presidential campaign. “The value of these images is certainly more than $7 each,” Mr. Usher, 47, said in a telephone interview Tuesday from Alexandria, Va., where he lives. “But I’d so much rather have the...

Celebrities Can Just Waltz Into the White House Whenever They WantBy Pareene, 3:08 PM on Wed Apr 22 2009 So this morning, Usher just showed up at the White House, apparently uninvited, and he and his entourage just walked in the northwest gate. But President Obama wasn't home. Informed that Obama had just left for Iowa and wouldn't be inside, the singer seemed disappointed. "He did?" he said. What an odd story! Usher just came over for a chat, apparently. And there is an open door-to-R&B superstars policy, at the White House, even when the President is a thousand miles...

How old is the world? Most people would say: "Nobody knows." But the author of the book frequently described as the greatest history book ever written, said the world was created Oct. 23, 4004 B.C. – making it exactly 6,010 today. In the 1650s, an Anglican bishop named James Ussher published his "Annals of the World," subtitled, "The Origin of Time, and Continued to the Beginning of the Emperor Vespasian's Reign and the Total Destruction and Abolition of the Temple and Commonwealth of the Jews." First published in Latin, it consisted of more than 1,600 pages. The book, now published...

New York, NY (LifeNews.com) -- Music fans should be outraged by a remix of a song off the latest hit album from R&B singer Usher. The remix, featuring hardcore rapper Joe Budden, advocates abortion and violence against pregnancy women, a representative of an African-American group says. Usher's latest album, Confessions, has topped the sales charts for nine weeks, selling more than four million copies in only 11 weeks after its release. Three of the first singles from the album have hit number one, and the latest, "Burn," remains at number one for the seventh straight week. However a remix of...

This was taken from the Herald Sun published today (Thursday, 29th april) and Australian Newspaper. [i] "It Was Justin['s] Poor Taste." Usher plays down roumous of a fued between [he] and Justin Timberlake who some say stole Usher's moves and adopted a "blaccent." But he does have a problem with Justin's role in the Janet Jackson superbowl boob flash. Of course he's biased: Janet's boyfriend is Usher's main producer. "Justin kind of skated from the responsiblity of it," Usher says. "They're going to ridicule a person who'e black much more than a person who's not of colour. I thnk they...
