PICS OF 2 OF 3 OF TAMEKA FOSTER'S CHILDREN

A lot of folks have been wondering what the kids of that old walking, talking negro spiritual Usher calls a wife look like. Especially since we never see them with her as often (too damn often if you asked me) as we see her with Usher. If one didn't know any better, they'd probably think this lady was pregnant with her first child and that she didn't have a trio of others stashed away some place. Well, I was able to lay my hands on a couple of pics. We all know that Mr., er....um...I meant Mrs. Foster-Raymond has 3 kids with one on the way. The photos below are of who I believe to be her 2 youngest sons: the older son in the first pic is Ryan--obviously named after his father I presume. You all may have seen a pic of lil dude with Usher during the Cleveland Cavaliers play-off game that landed them into the NBA Finals (I would post it, but I really and truly don't feel like it...okay, I just don't want to. There, I said it.); and the youngest one, well, I have no idea what his name his.

Coincidentally, when Tameka spoke to ESSENCE.com in an exclusive interview, she was asked what her reaction was when folks labeled her as a 'poor mom' because, supposedly, she's never with her children. Tameka countered: "Do you think Usher would really be engaged to a woman who would leave her kids?" (let me put in my 2 cents to answer her question: Well, I guess not since he also didn't have a problem with proposing to a woman who was still legally married--with those same kids--to her first husband. Okay, I'm finished.) "My children are with us much more than people think. They’ve gone to the Bahamas with us and attended play-off games. I purposely keep my children out of view. I don’t want them scrutinized and talked about because that would be a problem. Everyone wants to know, “Where are her kids?” Out of these pictures, that’s where."

What a coinky-dink because those 2 places happen to be the only 2 places where we've seen her kids...at least 2 of the 3 of them with her and Usher. I refuse to believe that you have your school age children traveling with you and your man as much as you and your man travel. I refuse to believe it, Meek Man. But there's something I don't get: she says she keeps her kids 'out of these pictures' because she doesn't want them to be scrutinized and talked about, but yet, we see these kids in pictures of the places she mentioned above. If that was going to be a problem, why not keep the kids out of all pictures altogether?

Needless to say, the pics (that you will see below) were taken in the Bahamas during the grand opening of the Cove Atlantis Resort back in May.

Oh, and to anybody who don't like what I just said about anything in this post can conveniently kiss my ass 10 times in a row something proper-like if they please. LOL! I just wanted to go ahead and put that out there right quick because I know there are going to be some people who won't agree with the things I chose to say in this blog entry. And that's alright. This is a free country. This is also a free blog, so just like I just spoke my piece, feel free to speak yours.

ANGELA BASSETT & HUBBY TO SALE HOME IN ORDER TO RELOCATE TO SEND THEIR KIDS TO PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Well, this is something you don't see in Hollywood: big name celebrities opting to send their kids to public schools instead of those stuffy, boring and oftentimes overrated (as well as overpriced) private and/or boarding schools. Don't get me wrong. I'm making no implications whatsoever that there is something wrong with private schools. My niece and godson both attend private schools. It's just rare that you hear celebrities doing the same. That's why I was shocked to learn that actress Angela Bassett and her husband, actor Courtney B. Vance have chosen to take that route. The couple has placed their five bedroom Los Angeles home on the market for nearly $6 million, according to the Los Angeles Times. Located in gated Fremont Place near Hancock Park, the 5,000-square-foot main house was built in 1940. The actors have lived in their home since they were married 10 years ago. Now, they want to move in order to send their twins to public school.

According to the Times, many children who live in the couple's community attend private schools, but the stars prefer not to send their twins to private schools.

TRICK DADDY GETS TRUMPED UP & ARRESTED @ TOOTSIE'S STRIP CLUB IN MIAMI

Damn, Tricky! Come on, man, it's one thing to get your ass beat. But to get your ass beat at a strip club before being arrested and wheeled away from said strip club and have it all caught on camera is truly something else. Talk about embarrassing. This is exactly what happened to Miami native and rapper Trick Daddy (real name Maurice Young). According to the Miami Herald, Trick Daddy Dollars was arrested early Tuesday (September 11) morning after a fight at the Miami Gardens strip club Tootsie's. Young sustained minor injuries from the melee--although from his mug shot it appears as if he got his ass royally whupped--and was treated at Jackson Memorial hospital before spending time behind bars at a Broward County jail. The rapper has been charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest. He is currently being held on $1,500 bail, according to Allhiphop.com.

No details have been released as to what sparked the scuffle.
Footage aired on WSVN-7 showed the rapper being carried away from the strip club on a stretcher and into an ambulance. Representatives for Trick Daddy were not available as of press time.

NEW PICS: DARON JONES (OF 112) WEDDING RECEPTION PICTURES

*sighing* The man I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with has married another woman. Oh, but don't get it twisted though. He only married her because he doesn't know I exist! Trust! Let's get that straight right now! LOL! No, I'm only joking. Seriously, Daron Jones (member of R&B group 112, singer/songwriter/producer/...and everything else that has to do with music) recently jumped the broom with his longtime girlfriend, whose name I don't know so I'll just call her Mrs. Jones, in Atlanta. When I first learned of his nupitals on Sandra Rose's blog a few weeks ago, I didn't want to believe it. That old saying 'a picture is worth a thousand words' have never been truer than when I laid eyes on the following pics for the first time.

But for the record: if she ever hurts him in any way, shape or form and I find out about it, please believe that I will track her down and show the hell out! Other than that, I'd like to take this time to wish him and his new bride a prosperous life together. Besides, it would be un-southernly (if it ain't a real word to yall, consider it a real word for this post) for a Southern Gurl such as myself to not wish the couple well. And we all know I'm a southern gurl to the core.

So with a heavy and, yes, a very broken heart, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Daron Jones. Please excuse me while I go listen (and sing off-key) to Vesta Williams' 'Congratulations.'

WORD AROUND THE WEB: WYCLEF TELLS LAURYN TO SEEK HELP; IKE'S REALITY SHOW; DON'T BUMP 50 CENT.

Wyclef Jean continues to mourn the perceived unraveling of his former Fugees mate, Lauryn Hill, whose erratic behavior during recent shows have raised a few eyebrows, to say the least. "Lauryn Hill, Mrs Hill, the Hill should go see a psychiatrist - period - Just seek help," Clef told MTV News. "At this point I really think it will take an act of God to change her, because she is that far out there."

Rapper Eve's alcohol monitoring anklet was removed this weekend, just in time for Sunday's VMA red carpet. In April, the artist was ordered to wear the SCRAM device for five months after agreeing to a plea deal following a DUI arrest. When Us magazine asked if she was going to get her drink on to celebrate, she said: "You know I am! I don't know (what I'm going to drink) yet. I might wait for dinner. I gotta start slow. It's been so many days."

50 Cent reportedly got into it with one of Tyra Banks' entourage as they all herded down the red carpet of Fashion Rocks last week. According to the New York Daily News, the rapper was inadvertently nudged by Banks' handler and yelled to the man: "What the fu*k is wrong with you? How you gonna bump me?" Meanwhile, 50's rumored flame Ciara told red carpet reports that she was unable to make MTV's VMAs because of a prior commitment.

In a project to rival Bravo's Being Bobby Brown, veteran musician Ike Turner is hoping to launch a reality series based on his volatile relationship with ex-wife Audrey Madison, the woman he claims tried to kill him with an overdose of prescription pills. According to WENN, the 75-year-old divorced artist is now back together with Madison, his background singer, and looking to make some money off of their quirky relationship. Friends insist the couple will be together forever, because she's the only woman who is "wilder than he is." One source says: "He's been used to marrying groupies he could control." In addition to working on their relationship and pitching a new reality TV show, the duo is currently planning a tour of Europe.

FOXY'S ALLEGED BABY'S DADDY SAYS HE AIN'T HER BABY'S DADDY.

Dancehall artiste Kulcha Don has denied being the father of rapper Foxy Brown's unborn child. Brown, who is currently serving time behind bars for violating conditions of a probation following a recent arrest, is reportedly three months pregnant. Kulcha Don, who teamed up with Beenie Man last year on the track Drive You Crazy, said he dated Brown for a few months earlier this year. "I am definitely not the father," he insisted in an interview backstage at the recently concluded Irie Jamboree stage show in New York. "I heard that she is three months pregnant. She and I broke up almost six months ago. I want to make it clear that despite the rumours and all the things being said, I am not the father of Foxy Brown's unborn child."

The deejay, who is signed to Ruff Nation Music, is originally from Montserrat. "Foxy is going through a lot of things right now, and I just wish her all the best," he said. "She is a very spiritual woman and she goes to her church every Sunday."

Kulcha Don's first professional recording with C&C Music Factory, a remix with Patra in 1995, led to his work with The Fugees on 1997's Original Wuckman. Five years later he was joined by hip-hop masters MOP and Nadine Sutherland on Blood Inna Me Eyes. With appearances by Andy Boy & Jeny, El Feco, Monifa, Andrea Hachett, Chanj and Beenie Man, Kulcha Don's album, It's All About You, proved to be a communal affair. "Dancehall is a very hardcore thing that's limited to a small audience," he said. "What we're doing is expanding that audience by presenting it in a way that's more readily available for large audiences."

Well, well, well. Let the madness and mayhem begin. Before long, most of us will be glued to our television sets as we watch the season premiere of 'I Love New York 2' while saying to ourselves, 'I know 'these nigghas here' are not that desperate that they would wanna go on national so-called reality television show to look like colossal, complete and utter monkey fools?!'

VH1 know they wrong for this one because in the words of Dough Boy: 'Either they don't know, don't show or don't care...' But it wouldn't be a show if these guys didn't sign up for it, right? So, whose really to blame? Oh, and expect to see appearances from Real, (his brother) Chance and Tango from the first season. *wink*

He's one of her potential suitors and he goes by the name Midget Mac.) in the picture below and more pictures of New York and her mama--who, thank God, must've known we were talking about her too-far-back-on-her-big-ass-forehead fly-back Elvira wig before choosing a more suitable one--from the first episode of the new season after the jump.
