There’s always news of a new celebrity sex tape coming out and the latest one involves Usher and his ex-wife, Tameka Foster, because TMZ reports that a tape is being shopped around.
Usher’s car was broken into back in December 2009 and he reported that over $1 million worth of valuables, including two laptops, were stolen from the car but he didn’t report that the laptops had sex videos of himself on them and that’s exactly were sources tell TMZ the videos come from. Tameka has released a statement saying:
“Would I sanction a sextape being out? Absolutely not. I am a mother and entrepreneur. Sex tapes or pornography would not be my lane. I have no desire to be seen in that way.”
Would you want to a sex tape involving Usher and Tameka Foster? There’s probably not point in me even asking that question because who doesn’t love seeing celebrity sex tapes? I’d love to know what Justin Bieber would think this.
This has to be the best quote about Justin Bieber that I’ve ever heard. Mos Def took to Twitter to talk about the boy’s junk….it’s classic, really.
He tweeted, “I heard Justin Bieber has a 10 inch dick, but its in his ass and belongs to Usher.”
Since Justin is still just a fetus, we’re not really going to speculate on the actual size of his junk…primarily because we just don’t care. That was a funny quote, though. It’s WINNING!
So we’ll leave you with that before Chris Hansen is knocking on our door, telling us to “have a seat right there.”
The 2011 Grammy Awards took place last year so to celebrate that Billboard have come up with a list of who they think had the top 10 performances of the last 10 years. Take a look and see if you agree with any of them.
10. Gorillaz, Madonna & De La Soul, 2006
The 48th Grammys started off as no other Grammys had before — with an opening band that wasn’t even three-dimensional. Animated act Gorillaz took to the stage to perform the Record of the Year-nominated “Feel Good Inc.,” joined briefly by the real De La Soul and a hologram of Madonna. But when the real Madge appeared onstage moments later to perform her 2005 hit “Hung Up,” with its sexy dancing and ABBA samples, the Grammy crowd truly let loose.
Radiohead may have shunned the music industry in 2007 when it delivered “In Rainbows” straight to fans using a pay-what-you-want online download, but the band proved it could still play to the Academy (literally) at the 2009 Grammy Awards. Joined by the USC Marching Band, Thom Yorke and co. performed a rendition of “15 Step” that was so rousing, even the frontman shared some of his twitchy dance moves. Eat your heart out, Fleetwood Mac.
8. Kanye West & Daft Punk, 2008
When Kanye West released “Stronger” as a single in 2007, it seemed written in the stars that the rapper and Daft Punk, who is sampled on the tune, would join forces and perform together. At 2008′s 50th Grammys, that’s exactly what happened. Note to the Black Eyed Peas: THIS is how you do a light show!
7. Lady Gaga & Elton John, 2010
Lady Gaga’s performance at the 52nd Grammy Awards was classic not only for its over-the-top theatrics, but for Elton John’s appearance on “Speechless” and the duo’s duet on Elton’s classic “Your Song.” The best part? The conjoined mega-piano Gaga and Elton played on, not to mention the pair’s matching rhinestone glasses.
For the 52nd Grammy Awards in 2010, P!nk took a few lessons from Spider-Man and gave a show-stopping performance of aerial, acrobatic brilliance. P!nk may not have walked away with any trophies that night, but thanks to her high-flying rendition of “Glitter in the Air,” she was the artist everyone was talking about come Monday morning.
5. Beyonce & Tina Turner, 2008
Beyonce and Tina Turner were “rolling, rolling, rolling” as they lit up the stage with their performance of Turner’s “Proud Mary” at the 50th annual Grammys. The show-stopping, glitz and glamour-filled duet proved that Tina still had it, and no one –not even B — was going to take it away from her.
4. T.I., Jay-Z, M.I.A., Lil Wayne & Kanye, 2009
It was as though a new rap supergroup (“the rap pack” seems fitting) formed at the 2009 Grammy Awards, when all facets of hip-hop joined forces for one killer performance of T.I. and Jay-Z’s “Swagga Like Us.” Lil Wayne and Kanye West held their own as usual, but it was a pregnant M.I.A. who stole the show in her sheer polka-dot dress. The fiesty diva didn’t just look like she was about to pop — she actually gave birth three days later.
3. Usher & James Brown, 2005
Between Usher’s Michael Jackson-esque moves during the performance of his 2004 single “Caught Up” and James Brown’s fancy footwork on “Sex Machine,” the two R&B titans’ duet at the 47th Grammys was one to remember. Check out the dance-off toward the end of the set — you can almost see the exact moment when the crown was passed.
2. Melissa Etheridge & Joss Stone, 2005
Melissa Etheridge and Joss Stone may seem like an unlikely pairing, but when you throw Janis Joplin into the equation, it makes perfect sense. Both songstresses possess their own unpolished soulfulness and rock stylings, which proved to be a powerful match in a tribute to Joplin at the 2005 Grammys. Stone started off with “Cry Baby” before being joined by Etheridge, who triumphantly made a return to the stage after being diagnosed with breast cancer one year earlier.
1. Eminem & Elton John, 2001
Eminem infuriated the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation with the homophobia-tinged lyrics on his 2000 album “The Marshall Mathers LP,” and the organization protested the 2001 Grammys because of his involvement. But gay activist Elton John crossed the picket lines and joined Em’s performance of “Stan” at the ceremony in a move that was musically powerful, as well as political.
I agree with most of these but I would have added Christina Aguilera‘s performance of It’s A Man World to the list and maybe ranked Kanye West higher.
In one of the most hilarious accusations of plagiarism ever, an intrepid YouTuber has compiled evidence that a portion of the Usher song ‘OMG’ was actually inspired by a Christmas carol penned by none other than Homer Simpson.
Yes, that Homer Simpson. The one from the TV show ‘The Simpsons.’
Homer’s festive song aired during the 14th season in 2003 and goes like this: “Christmas in December / Wow wow wow / Gimme tons of presents / Now now now.”
Even better, though, is that the oh-so-sophisticated Usher lyrics sound like Homer could’ve written them too. “Honey got a booty like / Pow pow pow / Honey got some boobies like / Wow oh wow.”
For the record, will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas actually wrote the track.
A bunch of celebrities, including Lady Gaga, Usher, Ryan Seacrest, Kim Kardashian and more, gave up their digital lives in order to raise money for Alicia Keys’ charity, Keep A Child Alive. They set the donation amount at ten dollars and asked fans to donate the cash to bring them back to life. They died on November 30th and it was a big to-do for World AIDS Day.
Well, December 2nd came and went and these celebrities were still quiet. I appreciated the silence, to be honest. Still, not a word was tweeted and they were still only at the half-way mark. We were unsure how long this was supposed to last, considering we didn’t think it was possible at all to tape Kim’s mouth shut for any length of time.
Then, yesterday, a beacon of light shone upon them in the form of billionaire Stewart Rahr. He donated the remaining $500,000 to resurrect the celebrities. Now, Kim Kardashian can go about famewhoring her wares on Twitter. She earns about ten grand per tweet…so this idea was actually costing her money.
A source close to the project said, “It’s the worst mismanagement of star power I’ve ever seen in my life.”
One source blamed servers that crashed for 12 hours on the first night for the slow-paced donations. Others blamed lack of promotion and overestimating the participants’ Twitter power.
Another source said, “Some stars thought the money would be raised in 24 hours, and were embarrassed that critics said it proves nobody cares about their Twitter presence.”
Usher was too impatient to wait for the $1 million mark and started tweeting in the early hours of Sunday.
Rahr, who recently sold his pharmaceutical distribution company Kinray for $1.3 billion, is a big donor to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and other charities. He said, “I heard through the grapevine that they were short on their goals, and I wanted to help. I sold my company, and I wanted to give back to others in the Empire State.” A rep for Keep a Child Alive had no comment.
The 2010 American Music Award nominations have been released and as you can expect they are very predictable.
Eminem and Lady Antebellum both lead the pack with a totatl of five nominations each, followed by Justin Bieber, Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Usher and B.o.B who all have four nominations each.
The awards show will take place on November 21 and be broadcast live on ABC. You can vote for the winners here.
Usher didn’t have a good Christmas because his ass got robbed and no I am not talking about his career, someone stole $1 million worth of jewelry from the back of his car.
Usher was in Atlanta on December 14th when he and a friend walked into an AT&T store leaving his GMC Yukon outside which is when the pesky robber broke into his car and earned a fortune for themselves.
Usher is claiming that he was robbed of over a million in jewelry as well as $50,000 in fur, his Christmas presents and his laptop which featured never-before heard voice tracks.
A staff member in the AT&T store said they saw a Chevy Impala pull up outside and a man got out and then broke into Ushers car before driving off. But they are too afraid to say anything more.
That would suck hard for Usher, but why the hell would would somebody be so stupid to that much in valuables in their car? Kind of asking for trouble, if this was me I would probably be accused that it’s all a scam and hoping to cash in on insurance.
