During a radio interview this morning, Usher announced the sex of his second child with wife Tameka Foster, as well as the baby’s due date.

 

Doctors told the couple that they’re having another boy, and he’s due to arrive on Dec. 15, just in time for the holidays.

 

I am happy for them, but it seems like his music has suffered since having a family.

 

 

 

 

In a recent article, Prince gave his take on the differences between Republicans and Democrats.

 

“You’ve got the Republicans, and basically they want to live according to this,” he said, pointing to a Bible. “But there’s the problem of interpretation, and you’ve got some churches, some people, basically doing things and saying it comes from here, but it doesn’t.

 

And then on the opposite end of the spectrum you’ve got blue, you’ve got the Democrats, and they’re, like, ‘You can do whatever you want.’ Gay marriage, whatever. But neither of them is right.”

 

For some reason I never envisioned Prince as a political-spiritual leader, but that’s just me.

 

 

 

 

The nation’s foreclosure crisis has arrived on the doorstep of Wyclef Jean’s Miami property.

 

Apparently, Miami-Dade County will auction off the house he was still building on Dec. 12 because the singer owes $2 million in mortgage payments.      

 

I guess even rich people are broke these days.

 

 

 

 

Interscope head Jimmy Iovine has come forward to explain the delay of Dr. Dre’s highly anticipated, upcoming album.

 

The music mogul claimed the Dre’s new album was originally prepped to drop in late 2008. However, the return of Eminem prompted Dre to alter his schedule.

 

“Dre had to stop making his album to finish Eminem’s album,” Iovine added. “Eminem hit a streak, and when a guy like Eminem gets on fire, you stop everything. That’s how we lost Dre.”

 

Hooray for hip-hop fans…my favorite the crazy white boy is coming soon.

 

 

 

 

If you’re hungry for the new Kanye West CD, “808s & HEARTBREAK,” and can’t wait until it’s released to the world on Monday, MySpace Music is where you need to be.

 

You can hear the exclusive premiere of the much anticipated CD and most importantly it’s FREE.

 

I just finished listening to the entire CD and Kanye is obviously talented and has delivered a solid, if not, classic album in terms of content and musical production.  My major issue is that he sounds too much like T-Pain.

 

Literally every song has the auto-tune effect…it is so irritating. 

 

I am thoroughly disappointed…I guess I’ll keep bumpin’ his old stuff.

 

 

 

 

A college student commits suicide in front of a live webcam while an unknown number of people watched, and some even encourage him.

 

Such a sad story.

 

 

Cheney is accused of investing some $85 million in the Vanguard group that houses federal inmates. The grand jury accuses Cheney and Alberto Gonzalez of engaging in organized criminal activity.

 

Sounds like the mafia was running the White House.

 

 

 

Reports have surfaced saying former NFL quarterback Michael Vick, now serving time in federal prison, allowed his fighting dogs to brutalize family pets.

 

Vick drowned dogs that did not perform well in a five-gallon pail of water, according to a report released by US Department of Agriculture on Friday.

 

Dawg…you wrong.  Didn’t Jeffery Dahmer (serial killer) start out the same way? 

 

 

 

 

An adult film star who went by the name Crystal Gunns, but now claims she is no longer in the porn business, is causing a controversy by attempting to work at a New Jersey elementary school.

 

How would you feel about her teaching your kids?

 

 

Usher’s mother is being investigated by Police after a freelance driver for her Atlanta-based transportation company filed a complaint alleging she stiffed him on a $1,668 paycheck.

 

Apparently, Jonetta Patton and her company JCarr Transportation are accused of scamming the limo driver while he worked during the recent BET Hip Hop Awards.

 

Why would Usher’s mom go to court over something like this?  It will cost more to pay attorney’s fees, than to pay the drivers.

 

Something about this just doesn’t sound right, but I’ll keep you in the loop as details emerge.
