TAMEKA FOSTER JOINS 'REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA' CAST?

Word around the web is that Usher's wife, Tameka Foster, is in 'the last bit of talks' of joining the cast of Bravo's Real Housewives of Atlanta for its second season. If this news is true, Tameka will replace last season's most true-to-life housewife on RHOA, Deshawn Snow, who has allegedly been given the boot from the show because of the viewers' disinterest in her life as an NBA wife. But I think we all know that with Deshawn's 'guaranteed' NBA money, she'll be just fine. And I can openly admit that if Tameka does join the cast, yes, I will make sure my DirectTV DVR is set and ready to record because I'd love to hear the pure madness that I am sure she will spew from her mouth! But really though, can you all see (or be able to stomach watching) Tameka every week basically doing what Deshawn did during her stay on the show? Watching her raise her four sons (Tameka's oldest son is a grown man) while Usher is out on the road doing whatever it is that he does? But wait a minute, 95% of the time, Tameka is up under her hubby whenever he's out on the road. So, I guess the question should be, 'could we be able to stomach whoever it is that raises Tameka's kids when--her head is so far up Usher's ass, if he turned the corner, he'd break her neck--whenever he's out on the road? How can she be a cast member of this show if she's never home in Atlanta?

Therefore and thus and such, I'll believe this story when the upper-ups from Bravo confirm it. Until then, like my cousin Nakesha says, 'I'm finished 'bout it.' Besides, there were whispers and whatnot of her joining the cast for its first season and because Usher has rehired his mom, Jonetta, as his manager, I highly doubt she'd suggest that Tameka put their family business out there like that for everyone to see...especially since some of you *smile* *snicker* have been dogging ol girl for the past couple of years. Yall know Jonetta don't play! LOL! Also, Usher is working on releasing another album this year. Having his wife look and sound like a damn fool on national television is publicity he does not need. He found out how that type of negative press affected his mega-flop of an album last year. Am I right? Celebrity couples + Reality shows=Divorce! Examples: Nick and Jessica, Hulk Hogan and Lisa, Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler, Carmen and David, Bobby and Whitney! LOL!

As for the other ladies of RHOA: Nene Leakes, her BFF-turned-frienemy Kim 'can't sing, or spell, or purchase a better looking weave/half-wig' Zolciak and Lisa Wu Hartell are all set to return for the second season. And Sheree? Well, she dropped her divorce appeal against her ex-husband and former NFL player, Bob Whitfield and ol girl is thisclose to being broke and homeless. According to recent reports, Bob is also broke. All I have to say is, 'Sheree, good luck to you and to your Shit by Sheree...(*sigh* LSA can be such a negative influence on me sometimes), what I meant to say was, She by Sheree clothing line. Cause, girl, you gon need all the luck you can get. And I know, because I'm broke my damn self! LOL!

The Real Housewives of Atlanta will begin taping episodes for its second season in February.

USHER'S WIFE, TAMEKA, CONFIRMS PREGNANCY OF THE COUPLE'S 2nd CHILD.

Looks like for once, Tameka beat Usher to the punch in confirming her much-rumored pregnancy after attending the grand opening of Tyler Perry's new television and film studios in Atlanta this past weekend alone. Various sources claim she's due to deliver her 5th child in December....just a mere 13 months after she gave birth to the couple's first child, Usher IV a.k.a. 'Cinco' last November. Ole girl has him locked, stock and barrel. There's no escaping her now! LOL!

However, I figured she was with child when I ran across this photo of her and Usher at video director Little X's recent wedding.

NEW CANDIDS: USHER, HIS SON & THEIR 'NANNY' (?) AT THE PARK.

Predictable punk. Leave it up to Usher to pull such a publicity stunt as this when he knows rumors are running rampant regarding his alleged separation from his manwife and the fact that he needs all the promotion (and publicity as well) to drum up interest in his latest projects (i.e. tour, clothing line, new fragrance, the re-release of his last album). So to see pics of him, his son Cinco and an unidentified woman in at the Cold Canyon Park in Beverly Hills surprises me in the least. However, what does surprise me is that she kissed lil dude smack dab on his mouth. No maam! Look at the way he's looking in the last picture on the front row! Negro, they see you! Stop pointing and let them do their job! You knew those cameras were there because you hired them. Ol' thirsty self. Needless to say Tameka's not there for a reason. And FYI, the park where these photos were taken is the same parkwhere Diddy staged photos of him spending contrived quality time with his twin girls.

Anyhoo, word around the web is that the woman is actually Usher's and Tameka's nanny. Why the hell she needs a nanny when she doesn't have a job baffles me...oh wait a minute, I forgot: Tameka needs someone to take care of Cinco while she travels the country with her husband in an effort to ward off any groupie wannabes.

USHER PERFORMS AT THE NFL KICKOFF CONCERT + USHER'S LATEST PUBLICITY STUNT RUMORS.

Raise your hand if seeing Usher without his shirt still excites you? Umm-hmm, that's what I thought. Yeah, he doesn't tickle my fancy the way he used to either. Anyhoo, Usher thought it was necessary to show off the little bit of sexy he has left during his performance at the NFL Kickoff Concert last Thursday. He's doing his damnedest to woo back his female audience. And I'm willing to bet that this is probably just one of the reasons why those recent rumors about his alleged separation from his manwife have surfaced. There's also a rumor claiming she's supposedly pregnant with his second child (and her fifth) and due in December...which would mean she would be showing right about now, right? Whatever the case may be, she damn sure didn't take long getting knocked up, that's for sure. The last one hasn't even turned a year old yet. Tameka's knocking on 40 so maybe she's trying to get them all out before she's considered 'over the hill.' Usher's flimsy ass self was dying for a little girl. Maybe this time around he'll get his wish and commence to shutting the hell up about having more kids ever again. But I guess only time will tell. All in all yall shouldn't be too surprised about this news...be it fake or not. Didn't she already tell you all this right there?

USHER FIRES HIS MANAGER, BENNY MEDINA, & REHIRES & 'UN-RETIRES' HIS MOTHER/MANAGER.

Someone once said,

"All bitches ain't female; they just have female traits. A dude can have a d*ck as big as an elephant's and still behave like a b*tchmade, b*itchass-b*itch of a man."

Yall will understand what I mean after reading what's below.

Well, well, well, well, well. Look who has come back to his senses a wee bit too late? According to E! Online, Usher has allegedly 'rehired' his mother, Jonnetta Patton as his manager. I hope he has prepared himself to get clowned unmercifully. Too bad no one never told him you can't 'retire' someone who has no intentions of being retired. Anyhoo, Usher's flop of an album, the mediocre promotion of said flopped album, poor record sales (I guess that falls under the category of 'flop of an album', right?) that horrendous and terrible lip-sync opening performance he gave at this year's BET Awards, and all that slick-at-the-mouth talking he did has all led to the singer kicking his manger--now former manager--Benny Medina to the curb. "He's leaving Benny. The record is pretty stiff, and nowhere nearly as successful as Confessions," an insider says of the singer's 2004 blockbuster album.

In a short statement issued by his LaFace/Zomba label Wednesday, it was announced that the artist "has dissolved his management arrangement with Benny Medina and has re-engaged Jonnetta Patton as his manager." Meanwhile, the singer has also cut ties with W&W Public Relations, a publicity firm that also serves as the official reps for Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys and Ludacris.

Down and out, whose the very first person Usher turned to for unconditional love and support? No, not his manwife. His mama. Confessions was a worldwide sensation, selling 19 million copies under the supervision of Patton. After debuting at No. 1 in June, Here I Stand, Usher's fifth studio album, has chalked up a relatively paltry 2 million in sales worldwide. This, despite the radio success of the single Love in This Club (Part II). I don't think even his mama, as good as she is, can undo the damage that he has already done to his pathetic career. And the truth of the matter is that he has no one to blame but himself. Watch his cocky ass release a statement saying that he has brought his mama out of 'retirement' to let her handle his career when in reality she never ever did retire. Tameka should probably thank her lucky stars that she has lil Cinco and that marriage certificate as insurance. I wouldn't be surprised if his mama told him the only way she'd come back is if he got rid of ol girl. And can you blame her? Especially when through it all, his mama has never (at least in the press) uttered one word, yay or nay about him kicking her ass to the curb. As a matter of fact, Patton told Vibe magazine's July 2008 issue that she's hard at work managing other music acts. 'I'm managing Nataha, an artist on Jive Records, a guy group called Kwiet Storm, and a solo artist, Dante. I started my own record label--JPat Records. I also manage my younger son, producer JLack--he's signed to Usher's production company.' Can someone please explain to me just what the word 'retire' means?

Anyhoo, for those who need a refresher course, Usher dumped the momager for Medina last year amid reports of tension between Tameka and Mama Pat—and considering his previous remarks, it might be tough going home again. "This is great for me because it means I now get to have my mother strictly as my mother, with no added pressure," he told the Associated Press in 2007, when he and Patton parted ways. And just last month the 29-year-old entertainer was quoted in Vibe magazine calling his mom an "aggressive person" who made his decision to part ways difficult. "She makes hard decisions, and she caused me to make a hard decision as well. I hurt more than anything over these last two years, when I felt my mother didn't really embrace my situation," Usher told Vibe. Monkey-Monchichi, what situation? After firing Tameka for mixing business with pleasure, he knew good and well Mama Pat wasn't going to approve of any kind of relationship he had with his walking negro spiritual. Besides, how do you think she felt after you called yourself 'retiring' her? And if I hear his ass refer to his marriage as his situation one more time... Dude, you are married and the last thing you should consider your marriage to be is a freaking 'situation.' These fools gon soon learn that mama always knows best...that's with the exception of Kim Kardashian's mama. I don't know anybody whose mother would damn near beg and plead their own child to pose naked for Playboy magazine.

That's it, yall. I am through.
