USHER WORKING NEW SONG FEAT. MICHAEL JACKSON & T-PAIN; REVEALS NEW ALBUM'S 1st SINGLE & DESCRIBES HIS ROLE AS SUPERDAD & HUBBY..

Usher tells the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that a single in the works for his new album will feature superstar Michael Jackson and urban music's current "it" guy, T-Pain. “It’s been created, but it’s not recorded," Usher explained to the newspaper. "And as long as Michael is open to it, hey, anything goes.” The track would be featured on Usher's upcoming album, which he says will be out early next year. “I’ve been diligently working on creating a masterpiece," he said of the project. "It’s going to be out first or maybe the second quarter. I see the second quarter of next year. And there will be a video and single out at the top of the year. … I think [Atlanta producer] Polow Da Don is going to have the first one. I think that’s going to be the single Love In The Club.”

Meanwhile, the home front has changed drastically for the Broadway performer, who is spending his first holiday season as both a husband and father. “I’m really like super dad. Really. I really cook for the family," he said. **Of course you do, Usher, we all know you're the one who wears the skirt in your marriage** "Now I basically do chicken and broccoli and steamed vegetables, because I’m on this diet. But believe me, I can fry some chicken too … I really clean up. I walk the dog, myself. I burp the baby. I change the diapers. I trim the tree. I’m about to get the things for the tree after this because it’s bare. … I’m super dad. And it’s only begun.” **would you like us to give you a gold star? Or maybe pin a rose on your nose? Geesh.**
