Welcome to Daddyhood! Those little pumpkins are like balls of energy - constantly on the go. Sometimes I watch my kids and I suddenly need a nap! I could never imagine doing what they do on a regular basis. Usher is amazed at how his son Usher Raymond (the fifth) never stops.

"He’s like hyper baby - he’s crawling so fast. He stands up, and he’s walking around the table. It’s amazing to watch him. I’ve never seen a baby crawl so fast! I call him Dash, like on the Incredibles (2004 Pixar movie).

"We’re just scared because the baby knows how to get off the bed already, so our bed is like a gigantic crib because we have rails."

Rails around their bed? I guess he sleeps with them each night.

Usher's wife, Tameka Foster also recently admitted that they are already keen to expand their brood despite all the running around. She adds,

"I’d love to have more, we just gotta make the time."

"Tameka doesn’t mind when the fans throw their underwear at me. Being a sex symbol pays the bills. And she knows that."

Guess who gave the following quote:

"In no way would I ever pimp out my child for money."

Yeaaaah, it was Usher.  Who's that on the cover of Essence magazine?  Yep, same guy. :)  In the words of a wise reader, "He totally did it!" But, dang, if that isn't one of the CUTEST babies I have ever seen!!!

Check out Essence for their full article and lots more pictures! 

Thanks Jenne! 

I don't even know what to say about this quote from Usher.

"Women have started to become lovers of each other as a result of not having enough men."

Ummm....say what now?!?

Ahhh, men, when are they going to learn that everything isn't always about them! :)

Usher is such a great performer isn't he? Singing, dancing, charisma - he has it all! Here he is on Good Morning America singing Love in the Club.

Finally some good news involving celebrity relationships. Usher's rep has sent out a statement confirming that his client's marriage is in tact. There was an Internet rumor circling for the last few days claiming that there was trouble in paradise. 

"It’s 100 per cent not true. Usher and Tameka are currently traveling in Europe together as a family on his promotional tour."

Is this a case of 'when there's smoke there's fire'? Or are celebrities contstantly victims of rumors in an attempt to sell copy?

 

I just read that Usher is going to walk the red carpet for The Hill finale party scheduled for tomorrow in LA. I will have a chance to ask him a few questions if I am loud enough as he walks through. I've timed out a TON of stories to go live throughout the day while I am in flight and will have a chance to work a bit before going to the show. Leave any questions you want to ask either the stars of the Hills or Usher on this post and I will combine them along with last week's round up.
He is going to have serious jet lag because this photo is of him in LONDON!

Don't expect Usher to entertain a bidding war to see which magazine will give him the most money for his child's first photos. He has zero intentions of cashing in on the birth of his child.

"In no way would I ever pimp out my child for money," Usher told Page Six.

Breath of fresh air. I do have to say that I like it when celebrities take the money and then give it to charity. Then, at least people who really need it benefit from the celebrity baby obsession. But this is most certainly equally as honorable.

Chris Brown is getting a lot of praise these days...first being compared to Michael Jackson, and now Usher says that Chris is the new him!

"All of this young energy is great for the industry. Chris is the guy who dances and sings, which is a lot like I do and did as a young artist as well. If time serves us correctly, and artists are continuing to better themselves, then hopefully he'll follow the same path that I did."

I'm not going to lie, I love them both!  Usher has big shoes to fill, but so far Chris is heading the right direction :)  Out of the two, who's your favorite?

Aside from Eva Longoria and Kate Beckinsale, who we already saw, there was a wide range of celebrities that showed up for the Beckhams' big party held at Via Veneto. P. Diddy, Usher, Sir Elton John and Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are all shown in the thumbnails. And yes, of course, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were there too, along with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, I just don't have the pictures yet. Working on that...By the way, don't Victoria and David look great in their matching black and white party attire? Hahaha, my husband would DIE before letting me dress him in something that was color coordinated to my outfit :)WENN, Flynet
