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 :)

Alright, you guys wanted to see more different faces on INO, here you go.  How about a little Usher?  He was spotted out yesterday walking his dog in Beverly Hills.  I'll admit that I have a total crush on him.  Something about that smile just does it for me :)  I mean, obviously the rippling six pack abs don't hurt either...but his smile just lights up his whole face.  So cute!

I have a confession... I love these old school musicals! I grew up watching them with my grandmother and try to catch them on AMC whenever I can. Here is Usher performing Gene Kelly's memorable performance in Singing in the Rain.

And here is the original in case you were in that kind of mood.

R&B singer, Usher, has cancelled his wedding to his former stylist and manager, Tameka Foster. His rep told US Magazine,

"the wedding ceremony for Usher Raymond, IV and Tameka Foster was cancelled. No additional information will be given regarding the circumstances of the cancellation, but we hope the privacy of this matter will be respected."

They may have cancelled the wedding, but they are still expecting a child together, so we'll be hearing more of them in the future!

People Magazine is reporting that Usher and fiancee Tameka Foster are expecting their first child together. She is due this fall! This will be Tameka's fourth child.

"We are extremely excited at this point in our lives planning our wedding and the joy that comes with expecting our first child together," the couple said in a statement released to the Associated Press Wednesday. "We hope people will be happy for us and respect our privacy during this happy period in our lives."
"What people don't realize is that Usher and I were friends for nearly seven years and I worked as his personal stylist for five years. I was the only female friend he felt he could talk to."

Usher Raymond is today's HGOTD.  He can sing. He can dance. And he is easy on the eye. What more can you ask for? Click on the thumbnails below to enlarge each picture.

Thanks Lola!

Being gay has never been more profitable. Lance Bass is currently in the process of writing his own book, hosting a countdown tv show and starting up his own restaurant.  If he knew this was going to be the public's response to his coming out, he would have done it YEARS ago. Enjoy every moment of it Lance!!

"Experience is everything with 'N Sync, all my experience with space travel and Russia and the whole coming out thing. I have a lot to say, so I decided to go ahead and start writing it down."
