According to sources, Colombian singer Shakira will spend February 14th entertaining fans at the NBA All-Star game.

Reportedly, over 80,000 spectators will see her performance as she sings “She Wolf” and “Give It Up To Me” from her latest album, “She Wolf”.

Also slated to perform are Alicia Keys and Usher.

Usher recent did an ad for the “Got Milk?” campaign for Body By Milk.

In the ad, he says, “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.”

The “National Enquirer” is reporting that Usher’s divorce has a lot to do with a 42-year-old Def Jam Records executive by the name of Grace Miguel.

A source said, “There were rumors all year that Usher was going to file for divorce. But it was only when he fell for Grace that he took action. Usher couldn’t resist her – and they’ve been seeing each other regularly on the West Coast.”

The snitch added, “Tameka made a last-ditch attempt to save the marriage. But the relationship has been over since Usher met Grace.”

Are you buying it?

Usher and Tameka Raymond’s divorce proceedings are getting uglier by the minute.

According to divorce documents filed by Usher on Friday, June 12, 2009, he states that they had been separated since July 2008, meaning that they had only spent eleven months of their marriage together.

The documents state, “The marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken. There is no hope of reconciliation.” (continue reading…)

Season eight “American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert says that he was starstruck when he first met Madonna.

He says, “I’ve met a lot of people that I look up to, artists that I respect. That’s been crazy. Just last night I met Usher, Enrique Iglesias and My Chemical Romance at the studio. I’ve just been meeting these artists and they know who I am now because of the show and Rolling Stone … it’s just weird to be on the same page as them, so to speak.”

Lambert goes on to say that he met the one artist who left him the most star struck, Madonna. He adds, “I met Madonna and that was pretty wild. Most everybody I’ve met is pretty cool and on the level, but Madonna is just legendary. I’ve been a fan of hers since I was a kid. So that’s definitely part of the intimidation factor.”

I’d be star struck, too. She’s a total icon.

Even though mum is pretty much the word as far as this divorce is concerned, we’ve heard that R&B singer Usher has in fact, filed for divorce from his wife of almost two years, Tameka Foster.

The singer filed the divorce papers in Atlanta on Friday. A source says that the couple have been leading separate lives for months. The source adds, “He’s done his best to keep Tameka away.”

I’m sure Tameka doesn’t mind, either way she’s getting a nice chunk of change.

Usher Raymond has just had his second child with wife, Tameka Foster. The name of their new addition has not yet been released.

Previously not releasing any real information, he said, “We’re actually expecting, if you didn’t hear, in December. One of the best Christmas gifts there is to have!”

Well his Christmas bundle of joy has arrived.

Congratulations to the happy couple on their new son!

Update: I’ve just learned that their son’s name is Naviyd Ely Raymond and he was born at 2:33 a.m. Wednesday and weighed 5 lbs, 13 oz.

Usher performed several songs as the Victoria’s Secret girls modeled their wares on the runway. They shared the runway as the girls walked by him, strutting their stuff. At the end of his set, Usher walked off the stage arm in arm with Adriana Lima.

How many famous people can you spot in the audience?

Usher and Tameka Foster are expecting their second child, it has been confirmed. There had been rumors floating around that Tameka was expecting, but we didn’t get confirmation until last night.

He says, “Definitely. We’re actually expecting, if you didn’t hear, in December. One of the best Christmas gifts there is to have!”

But that was the only information that he was willing to share. He didn’t give a single hint as to the sex of the baby. He says, “I ain’t telling if it’s a boy or a girl. Some things have to remain personal. But I’ll give you a clue – it’s a baby.”

I’m glad his sense of humor is still intact.

I’ve just learned that Usher is going to be a father for the second time.

Him and his wife Tameka Foster are expecting baby number two, a source close to the singer confirms.

The couple had their first child, Usher Raymond V, in November of last year. Since then, Usher has gushed about how much he loves being a dad while he’s still young enough to enjoy them.

He says, “I’m so proud to be a father by the time I’m 30. I’d hate to be 80 years old and not be able to run with my kids. I need to still be able to do flips when they’re in high school!”

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Usher was performing on Saturday night at a concert in Nigeria when violence broke out in the crowd. He was performing at the This Day Music and Fashion Festival 2008 in Abuja at around 1am when the “drunken brawl” took place in front of the stage.

Security guards attempted to break up the fight as members of the crowd were shoved around and one man was removed from the venue.

I’d only go see an Usher concert if he sang, “You Make Me Wanna”.

Usher’s personal trainer was attacked in a parking lot in Atlanta, Georgia, recently. Darius Miller was attempting to stop to cameramen from filming the daughters of the city’s mayor. He was taken to a hospital in Atlanta where he’s in intensive care.

Lawyers working for the cameramen are claiming that he fell. Suuuuuuurrrrrree he did…..and no arrests have been made.

Get well soon Darius!
