It’s a boy!!

Usher and Tameka Foster welcomed a baby boy Monday night. Usher was at an Atlanta hospital and the new family is expected to go back to their home tomorrow.

Ryan Cameron of the Ryan Cameron Show (WVEE V-103) got the news exclusively from the horse’s mouth.

Usher Raymond V was born at 9:59 pm last night at an Atlanta area hospital. He weighed 7 lbs, 9 oz and is 21.5 inches long. The happy couple are “going back and forth” on a middle name for the baby. “I’m officially in the club,” said an emotional Usher who told Ryan to say, “hey daddy,” when he’s out in the clubs.

Usher told Ryan he helped with the delivery. “I did it all, I did what I had to do,” he said.

Salt-N-Pepa vs. Jena 6

Was it me or did it seem like Pepa did not take the Jena 6 seriously.  Complaining about being hungry and having to pee????  Also she could not even explain to her child about the Jena 6 situation which was really sad

Jill Scott deals with racism….

Jill Scott explains a recent incident where she was called a nigger and how she handled it:
“I was waiting outside for the valet to bring the car round, and these … I say kids, but they must have been 25, looking wealthy, five-o’clock-in-the-morning wasted. And this guy’s saying, ‘Step back nigger, step back nigger.’ He’s saying it like it’s a song, but there’s nobody out there but me. I was taken aback, and I said, ‘Excuse me?’

And he said, ‘Shut your mouth and don’t say a word when a white man is talking.’

“I’m not kidding. I started laughing, and I followed him and his cohorts through the parking lot laughing hysterically, and they became more and more uncomfortable. It was one of the best moments of outrageous laughter I’ve had. To think for one moment I could possibly fit into that box … I am so far from that word that it is funny. They looked so uncomfortable; I wanted to emasculate him, to make sure he was getting no nookie that night. The girls sobered up and were looking scared. It was something else – the first time in my life I’ve been called that. Wow. But I enjoyed it. You must fight back; it’s imperative. I like the fight in me now.”

Miss Puerto Rico Pepper-Spray Incident

Police are now said to be investigating just how Ingrid Marie Rivera was able to stop crying between camera appearances at Saturday’s pageant, if indeed her gown and makeup had been sabotaged with the spray, as she asserts, NBC News reports.

The reported skepticism about Rivera prompted Today show host Meredith Vieira to inquire on Tuesday’s broadcast if, possibly, crime-scene investigators believe the pepper-spray claim may have been imaginary.

“They’re saying, they think she made it up?” Vieira asked reporter Kerry Sanders, who replied: “They’re looking into it. They’re curious.”

Rivera is due to be interviewed on Wednesday’s Today show, where, on Tuesday, co-anchor Matt Lauer said he intended to get to the bottom of the mystery.
