Usher AMA

Star magazine is stating that Usher is one of the newest victims of the Scientology cult:

It looks like Scientology is adding another celebrity to it’s ranks… Usher! “He’s so excited,” a source close to the singer tells Star, “He’s in training now.” The reason: fatherhood! “He thinks it’s important to raise his baby as a Scientology,” says the source. Usher, who is expecting a boy with new wife Tameka Foster any day now, is so serious that he co-chaired a $1,500-a-plate fundraiser for both his New Look Foundation and Scientology’s controversial New York City Rescue Workers Detoxification Project. Meanwhile, über-Scientologist Tom Cruise sits on the board of Usher’s foundation, which tries to assist “underserved communities” through social programs.

This is getting out of hand. First getting married to old broads, then joining the weirdo Scientology cult…Usher say it ain’t so.

    wtf is this?

  • AND…

    Well I just googled this ish and one things for sure. Scientologists DON’T BELIEVE IN JESUS. It’s all about self realization of your pure potential and being able to do anything on your own. God help them if it’s true.

  • Bahama Mama

  • Atari Boy

    Paul Mooney said it right. The 10 Commandments are in the way for celebrities. So, that’s where Scientology come in. Wanna swing, join another religion. Anybody see Eyes Wide Shut with Tom Cruise?

  • MEEKA

  • txshawty

    JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL cuz apparently our behinds can’t control the wheel…swerving n’thangs on the highways and byways of life lol.

    Next thing you know he gone be lookin crazy like Tom and Marc Anthony….Tom and Marc have two different varieties of the ‘crazy’ look…Tom is more wacked out like he’ll have a goofy grin and his eyes could just start roamin away from the normal positions like those crazy eyes you can get from the lil arts n’crafts stores lol…and Marc just look like night of the living dead crazy, like if you moved wrong he’d snap..like ‘oh my bad, I didn’t even mean to blink simutaneously with you. My bad dawg!’….

  • ready set hate

    funny how so many celebs, once they reach a certain level of success, suddenly decide to become scientologist–as if Christianity or their former more mainstream faiths are too common or inferior for them. do they change to scientology just so they can continue to lead a lifestyle that goes against other faiths but still think that they are “spiritually” superior? Usher at the end of the day you are still a confused bisexual now married to a dinosaur with a dubious past.

  • txshawty

    Meeka..Imma whoop you for that one, and then Imma turn around and whoop myself for knowing what the heck you were talkin bout lol!

  • Jus Another Opinion

    Oh Usher I am a fan of yours, but Im not down with this cult your in. I read about them in my social psychology class. Once your in there aint no getting out. With that said I’m not going to jump on the “hate on Tameka badwagon” You are a grown man, the ultimate decision maker is you and you only.

  • Jus Another Opinion

    Usher at the end of the day you are still a confused bisexual now married to a dinosaur with a dubious past.

    ^^^^I’m not gone even front I did crack up a little bit at that comment, but I still like Usher!

  • Say What?

    I bet his mama is SICK. That d@mn Tameka has just turned Usher’s life UPSIDE down.

    And amen to whoever said he look like Squidwort.

    LMAO

    I used to love Usher. Now he wack as hell!

  • http://www.IStayConfused.com I Stay SMH

    why is “in training” so funny to me???

  • txshawty

    Jus Another Opinion…you can’t get out at ALL?! In the class, did they say what happens when somebody tries to get out?? Probably not huh? That’s probably the page in the textbook that’s torn out…mhm….Tom and ‘nem have got connections…I can just see ‘just another’ tryna read the rest of the textbook and there’s a big gap in the end of the book missing pages…then tryna borrow a friend’s book and the same thing is going on there….I’m telling you just leave it alone and accept that there aren’t anymore pages, I don’t wanna read about Just Another missing….

  • lucky

    Someone needs to throw some Holy water on him!

  • CristalX

    This MO’FO done went crazy…I know he does not think Maneka*DAYUM, MY BAD* Tameka is going to put up with that BS. He should mos def do more research cuz I’m pretty sure Maneka*sorry, Tameka* aint putting up with that silent birth rule they have…LMBAOAROF and that one…

  • Rotex

    Scientology is stupidness! GOD have mercy.

  • Jus Another Opinion

    You and others like you TX shawty keep harboring jealousy…cause I admire it!

  • Jus Another Opinion

    @ TX Shawty

    That was from Time Magazine, keep backing into the corner and try banging your head, cause you look like an asshole.

  • jen

    Well I guess Usher just confirmed his gayity. John Travolta, Tom Cruise. Wow!

  • jen

    @ Bama mama Will and Jada are NOT down with scientology they just hang with the peeps that are.

  • http://www.Myspace..com/MOTHERSHIP100 MOTHERSHIP

    *Sigh* She’s gonna have him barking at the moon before it’s all over.

  • txshawty

    um…’Just Another Opinion’…In my joking I was agreeing with you about the fact that something ain’t right about the beliefs/church…I wasn’t making fun of you.

    I think you may have misinterpreted what I was saying, I wasn’t meaning what YOU were saying was false b/c obviously you know more about it taking a class on it. Initially I was joking, but was serious when asking what your class said about how to get OUT of the religion/cult. Before you get ready to jump fly/out of pocket with someone, realize when and when NOT to take something seriou. I am not jealous of you, frankly i was agreeing.

  • txshawty

    Just Another…I do appreciate the fact that you provided that information….it shed some more light on Scientology.

    But I do want you to realize, that I was moreso making light that everyone that the more public celebrities I’ve seen that are into scientology seem to be ‘not all there’ and sorta creepy, your post just confirmed what I felt. Especially your post on the Times magazine article.

  • MarieDaGuru

    Usher’s mother and Tameka will forme an aliance and they will not let the child grow up in this cult.

  • The Hidden Truth

    Looks like he read the Michael Jackson blueprint, sell millions of records then get weird!! Sad if its true cause he was attending Bishop Jones church in ATL.

    I’m not against marriage but as a singer is seems as soon as you do it you go down hill, he should have kept it private like Kells did, no one knew he was married 4 years. It seems the women fans look @ you different when u get married.

    P.S. I hope this isn’t Whitney & Bobby part 2!!

  • Bahama Mama

    oh and Jen

    my motto is u r the company u keep. even though they might not be “baptized” as such a lot of their friends are. But whateva.

  • catfish

    Weirdo? Is Scientology weirder than a white man walking on water, having a virgin birth and rising out of a grave after 3 days???? :lol:

  • txshawty

    Just Sayin…Yea, I feel you, I was making light of how it just seem like Tom is pulling everybody into it, like he has a lot of connections. B’mama, I, and some others are always jokin around about it, but um…just for the record no I wasn’t commenting on you, I honestly wanted to know why you’re unable to get outta the religion…that’s all….I knew something wasn’t right about that whole thing, everybody seem like Zombies lol

  • 504okaay

  • txshawty

    ISSMH…when you come to scoop me up??

    {with Tropical tree shorts on and one of those one-piece granny bathing suits, with the scoop in the back…don’t want to tempt nobody} lol

  • Bahama Mama

  • http://www.IStayConfused.com I Stay SMH

    LMAO…I leave my house tomorrow after work. But my flight isn’t until the next morning!

    Yipsters…I got my chillens carryons packed with so much crap. They like “can we see what we got”? NO! Then the thrill will be gone and they’ll get bored quicker.

    I am putting the finishing touches on our itineraries. I have to make one with pictures only for my daughter…cause I want them to be able to know whats up.

    Ugh…the job of a mother is NEVER done!

  • txshawty

    B’mama…you done took it TOO far, Paris has already been pictured holding a Bible…but they opened it, and she’s stuffed a miniature coloring book inside…who’da thunk??

  • Hatehaters

    If this is true then the rumors about Usher might be true because it is said that John Travolta is gay and so is Tom Cruz and many other celbs who follow sciencetology. say it aint so..I think people should just believe in god and not get too silly in the head about the rest their bless ppl.

  • Bahama Mama

    ISSMH – i think i’ve told u this before but just in case u might’ve forgot I hate u…lmao but u really know it’s all love….lol

  • Bahama Mama

    TX. CHUT UP!!!!!!!!!! lmao a damn coloring book??

  • Detgurl

    I hate to tell some of you guys but most of the smartest most successful ppl in the world don’t believe in Jesus…I just thought you guys should know that. Google every really rich person and you’ll see. Poor ppl around the world are the most religious and the rich some claim to be but come on and I wonder why that is.

  • Chi mi

    @ damn next thing u know they gone be sayin Paris Hilton is saved.

    Then I KNOW the world is ending real soon!!!

    That chick being saved is like her NOT having herpes >>>YEAH, RIGHT, SURE!!!!!

  • Chi mi

    I think that chick who-dooed him. REALLY. She told him she was cooking dinner and when he came over she gave him some of that SPECIAL spaghetti. He hasn’t been the same since. SMH, I need Jesus to take the wheel asap!

  • HOTSTUFF

    Well he married a he/she so that was his introduction to scientology

  • Walker

    I thought it was only Islam that kidnaps black celebrities.

  • AND…

    Damn I came over here to get away from the mofos arguing over Beyonce’s weave, skin tone, talent, and clothes but y’all are bugging out in here too. WTH is going on today????!?!

  • Kay Phillips

    WOW – Jus Another Opinion seems to be having a bad day. How did a joke turn into all that?! LOL @ “To keep peace just don’t make jokes like that”. How about, to keep peace, learn to control your emotions. The article was a good read, BTW.

  • N-Qui-Sa-Tive

    lol @ walker

  • BobC

    I had an acquaintance named “Joy” in LA who had three beautiful, gifted kids, who were child actors. They did Taco Bell and Barbie commercials, among many projects. Their mother, Joy, blew their future college money on Scientology, and now they are dirt poor. Their mother is also mentally “damaged” from her experience with Scientology. It is like an addiction. Those poor kids.

    I once read, also, that a family went to court, charging Scientology of swindling their dying mother into sigining all her assets to the church, shortly before she died and while she had morphine coursing her system.

    Evil. There’s no other word for it. They bug the hell out of you. Their people use hard sell tactics, and many have mental illnesses and screwed up lives. Just evil.

  • CJ

    Aw damn, don’t drink the Kool-aid “Ursher”, don’t do it! Just say no…

  • Rotex

    Detgurl, just because some rich people in the world don’t believe in Jesus, doesn’t mean everyone shouldn’t. Ungodly people prosper, and that is probably the way of the devil making peole not believe in Jesus. At the end, money is not everything, and it is definately something that can take people’s mind away from GOD.

  • txshawty

    CJ you needa whooping…lol…everything ain’t caused by Kool-AID lol!

  • http://www.lovingmeans@aol.com 1TruDiva w/The PlatinumVocals

    Now that boy know DAMN well his momma and grandmomma raised him as a baptist in Old-Lawd-Help-me-Jesus-Southern-Baptist-It’s-three-o’clock-and-the devotional-service-is-STILL-going-on-and-I-need-to-get-home-and-put-my-greens-on-to-heat-up church!

  • memchee

    startin’ to think that in hollyweird in order to be a part of the connected click, you have to join scientology.

  • Ariel Yahudah

    See no man wants to obey The Most-High GOD’s 10 Commandments because it cramps peoples style..This is why the Original Hebrew Israelites(the so-called Negroe) are here in America lost as hell..With no identity just following after other nations gods just like in the bible..Nothing new under the sun..Get ready for the Exodus in 2012….This will be the end of the Great HOE called Ms. Liberty..

  • Curly Fries

    Usher does NOT look sane in this pic.

  • Doc-2-B

    After seeing his needs-to-buy-hooked-on-phonics a– on the AMAs last night, it’s no surprise that he’s been bamboozled into this, either by his wife or “big name celebrities.” Scientology is a CULT THAT CONVINCES THE WEALTHY TO GIVE UP THEIR $$. Unlike Christianity, Scientology is not accessible to regular folk b/c there is no money in it. Sad. Usher, honey, read a book. Better yet, why don’t you and your mother, oops, i mean wife, read one together? That boy is in my prayers…I’m curious to see how his fans will respond to him when he comes out with another album. I personally think that his marriage to that man, i mean woman, is the beginning of the end of his career. Usher, prove me wrong. PLEASE

  • Mahogany

    Nooooooo Ush Ush not U too!!

    I’ve read of people becoming mentally ill as they progress to the upper echelon of this religion.

    Do they know about the man who started this ish (L. Ron Hubbard), and why???? sm mf h

    Where’s the whip-cracker when U need her?

  • DANA

    ^^^ all of his smiles look fake to me! since he got married.

    i’m not surprised! he’s already has the “weirdo” factor going for him now! may be this is the best, cuz that tameka needs some kind of religion! lol!

  • http://upgradeitall.blogspot.com daria

    It’s the worst his decision ever!

    Oh wait. Marrying and impregnating that dude still top this

  • nuffsaid

    The source said “He thinks it’s important to raise his baby as a Scientology”?? Really? As opposed to raising his child a “Catholic Church” or a “Judaism” or a “Buddhism”? Grammar is your friend, Mr. Source.

  • jutin

    He is a cuttie! He is single now! I saw his profile on millionaire dating site WealthyRomance.com last week! Good luck to his search!

  • http://angstriddenblackwoman.blogspot.com RedCloud41

    What do these three have in common?

    John Travolta, at age 22, fell in love with a woman named Diana Hyland, who played his mother in the movie “Boy in the Plastic Bubble.” She was 40 and converted him to Scientology before she died.

    Tom Cruise, was a nice young man who dated lots of girls before becoming involved with much older actress Mimi Rodgers, who then converted him to Scienology.

    Usher, not even 30, falls in love with an older woman who he marries, and boom, he’s into Scientology. Coincidence? I think not.

  • pimp daddy

    usher is tripping someone get this lil nucca a checkup.

  • SomedudefromHouston

    Yall dont see it….That scientology is the devils tool …Ron L hubbard was a racist and a satanist please look up him and his father the info is just sitting out there.Further more this is not just some funy goofy cult there are truly dedicated to steering people from Jesus and God himself.These people are not just joining a cult they are loosing there soul and way in life and that shouldnt be taken lightly

  • Curly Fries

    Somedude, you’re speaking truth. Hubbard was a true racist. He said horrible things and held outrageous beliefs about the Black race.

  • leslie

    First of all, you don’t CONVERT to Scientology. He can be Christian AND a Scientologist! God helps those who help themselves — and Scientology helps you help yourself! Read the Dianetics book. Read Problems of Work. Read Fundamentals of Thought. Enroll in a course at a Scientology or Dianetics center. Then make up your mind! Stop reading and listening to people who don’t even know what the word “Scientology” means!

    Well done, Usher!

  • GET OUT OF MY FACE

    WHAT THE HELL IS SCIENTOLOGY? I HEARND OF IT ITS SOUND LIKE A LOT OF BS TO ANYWAY USHER AND HIS WIFE AND FAMILY ARE CHIRSTION NOWAY IN HELL USHER IS INTO THAT. HE SURPORT TOM CRUSE BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN HE IS INTO THAT ANYWAY I SAW THAT TV GARBICH AND THEY TAPE A OLD PICES OF USHER AT TOM CRUSE CHIRTY AND POSING. I KNOW IS OLD BECOUSE I WAS THERE TO USHER WAS WEARING A HAT AND HE WAS WEARING EARRINGS AT THE TIME AND HE WAS SINGLE AND DATING MISS FOSTER AT THE TIME. HE DO LOOK GOOD AS ALWAYS.

  • leslie

    The person that said that L. Ron Hubbard was racist doesn’t know what he’s talking about! In fact, L. Ron Hubbard had a higher opinion about the black race than the white race! Stop reading what you see in the news and hear on TV and read a book by L. Ron Hubbard!!!
