Usher and Tameka Foster seem intent on out bashing each other! TMZ just reported that the singer recently called the police accusing his ex-wife (well, almost, he still hasn’t signed the papers) of sneaking onto his property and scratching up one of his cars. Police investigated the call but Tameka was nowhere to be found when they arrived. They later interviewed both Tameka and Usher about the incident but found that there was not enough evidence to support his claims. Two days later Usher called the cops again! The second time he said Tameka was on his property and refused to leave but again, when cops came out to the house she wasn’t on the scene.
Now Tameka might be sneaking around at night causing Usher all that strife, but her people told TMZ the whole story is untrue. “This is just another attempt to disparage Tameka. It’s simply an angry ploy that has no merit. Tameka’s own truck was scratched but it’s not clear how. The truck is registered in her name, it’s not even Usher’s car. Why would she vandalize her own vehicle?”
This is turning into a mess! Once upon a time they were trying to prove that they were so in love and that it really was going to last….
J-Hud’s New Man
The world got a glimpse of Jennifer Hudson and David Otunga’s little man, David Jr. this week. After keeping her pregnancy hush-hush, Jennifer sat down with People magazine for the cover story of their October 15th issue and opened up on what it’s like to be a new mom. “He has a lot of personality, like David. He’s always been a good sleeper. His favorite time to smile now is diaper changes. Or when he spits up on you – he just cracks up like he thinks it’s the funniest thing,” she said. How precious!
Cased Dismissed
Not everybody hates Chris! A judge just dismissed a $5million dollar lawsuit that Chris Rock was slapped with by a woman claimed that he stole her idea for his new documentary Good Hair. Regina Kimbell claimed she showed her documentary My Nappy Roots to Rockback in 2007 and was shocked to later find that he was coming out with his own hair documentary. In the lawsuit, Kimbell lists a dozen similarities saying both movies explore the cultural significance of black hairstyles and feature interviews with celebrities, among other things.
In addition to asking for the monetary settlement Kimbell also tried to block production of Rock’s movie, but a judge wasn’t buying any of it. Rock has been cleared of all allegations and Good Hair will be released in theaters today.
If you go see the movie this weekend, tell us what you think! We’ll be back to chat with you next week!

It’s a boy! Academy Award winning singer Jennifer Hudson welcomed her first child yesterday night. According to Hollywood Reporter’s Showbiz411 blog: ”His name is David Daniel Otunga, Jr., named for his father and Hudson’s fianceé. Hudson tells me he weighed in at seven pounds, 14 ounces. And Jennifer and David, Sr., by the way, did not know the sex of the baby in advance. They bought blue and pink clothes, just in case!”
The couple is said to be in a secret location laying low from paparazzi. Congrats to the new parents!
Meanwhile, here we go again with baby rumors. This time the chatter is that Amber Rose might be pregnant. Media Takeout reports that an “insider” said Kanye’s girlfriend “suddenly and abruptly given up smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol,” even going so far as to refuse to allow smokers anywhere near her. The “insider” stressed: “she usually never turns down a drink – so something must be up. And to all of a sudden give up cigarettes too … come on you do the math.”
Ehh, maybe she’s just scaling back on the party life. Does that mean she’s pregnant? I’m not sure I’m convinced.
Amber didsleepwork her way up to that recent Ford Agency modeling contract. I’d find it hard to believe that she’s planning on throwing that career for a Yeezy W. baby. On the other hand babies with entertainers do mean 18 years of hefty paychecks (just ask Kelis) so I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if this turned out to be true.
So, I have no clue where he got the name Dawson Alexander from, but hey, I guess he wanted to avoid jokes like, “So what ‘chu you gonna do when Punk-a-Mania runs wild on you.”
He’s no Jake “The Snake” Roberts, but I suppose he has potential.
If you’re wondering what Otunga did with his Harvard Law Degree he used it for inspiration for his finishing move: the verdict.

Ok, I’m about tired of celebrities adamantly denying rumors that we knew were true from jump!
The latest in celeb denials, of course, came from Usher and Tameka Raymond about their marital problems.
Now back in May when rumors surfaced of a separation, Usher was all too pressed to lash out and shoot down the allegations. That month he went on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and waxed poetic about his wife saying: “She’s built up … the foundation of who I am. I want to see more men standing with their women.” His manager Benny Medina also insisted reports that the couple was splitting were, “100 percent not true.”
Even Tameka laughed off the rumors and went as far as going toe to toe with bloggers who questioned the relationship. Now a mere month later the divorce papers have been filed and today, Tameka sang a different tune on Twitter:
“@TamekaRaymond: Afternoon. Today is beautiful, there’s a black dog barking outside, I JUST realized that I’d rather have 5 sons over 1 dog. Sorry.”
(Side Note: how long do you think it will take for her to change her Twitter name to “TamekaFoster”?)
Now I understand celebrities deserve their privacy on these personal issues, but PSA: You don’t have to lie to kick it!
What’s the point of working overtime with your publicist to deny a pregnancy (um, like Jennifer Hudson’s reps until her friend outted the news), a marriage (Jay-Z and Beyonce), a relationship (Chris Brown and Rihanna) when we’ll definitely see the baby bump, marriage certificate (or divorce papers!), or picutres of you and the person that you swear up and down you’re “just friends, like brother and sister” with, tonguing each other down on a beach?

Although it’s since been confirmed, Jennifer Hudson was keeping coy about being knocked up with Punk’s baby. So much that she said na’an word to anyone who asked if she was pregnant.
And if not for her friend, Felicia Fields, opening up her mouth to the press, we probably wouldn’t have known anything until J.Hud was ready to send her baby pics to the press (if she bothered at all).
Well, Fields has apparently learned her lesson. Rumor has it that Jennifer has uninvited Ms. Runteldat from her wedding ceremony.
Let that be a lesson to each of you: If you’re friends with a celebrity and they don’t want you spreading their BIA, shut it up!

Though Jennifer Hudson’s camp is saying she’s taking a break from her national tour with Robin Thicke to treat a throat injection, people are swearing she’s really suffering from morning sickness.
Though I’m not J.Hud’s gynecologist, it is possible that her sickness has nothing to do with a fetus and everything to do with her screaming at the top of her lungs whenever she performs.
I wouldn’t want to hear a singer hack up her life on stage.
You tell us: Is Jennifer sending her fiancé, Punk (or David Otunga, if you must), to buy cough medicine or a home pregnancy test?
Robert Greene recently spoke on working with the G-Unit rapper and the two-year delay of their collaborative book project, The 50th Law.
“He’s actually very sweet,” Greene said of 50. “He’s one of those guys that has no mother and is missing a mother … Whenever there’s a woman in the room, he just comes alive and becomes extremely charming. So he’s actually got a little soft spot there that a lot of people don’t realize … He’s not like a party person at all, he likes to work, work-out, so he’s not what people think at all …”
And in the neverending stream of Rihanna news, here’s a new one: she’s preggers.
We’ll have to wait this one out, but folks are reporting that she was seen clutching her tummy and vomiting. Of course, those same rumors also surfaced last year before The Incident, so who knows …?
On today’s live Oprah Winfrey Show, the singer and Oscar-winning actress says she’s happy to be performing now and that singing at the Super Bowl was therapeutic for her.
“[I'm] in a very good place,” she told the talk show maven.

Jennifer Hudson has already announced some public performances – but the singer is back at work, filming the music video for her new single, “If This Isn’t Love,” as pictured above.
Hudson is shooting the video, which is expected to debut the week of Feb. 9, in Los Angeles.
Look for the Oscar-winner this weekend, as she’s scheduled to sing the National Anthem at Sunday’s Super Bowl, her first public performance since her mother, brother and nephew were killed in October.
Next, she’ll perform at the Grammy Awards. (The show will be broadcast from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Feb. 8, at 8 p.m. on CBS.)

After dropping out of the public eye following her family murder tragedy, Jennifer Hudson now has the strength and the will to give three high-profile performances next month, a source close to her tells People magazine.
“So much has happened, but she’s ready,” the source says. “It’s a new year, she’s excited about performing again. She knew it was time.”
The performances will be the first since her mother, brother and nephew were murdered in the fall. Her estranged brother-in-law has pleaded innocent to the killings.
