We have a feeling Tameka was the main culprit in naming this child:

NAVIYD ELY RAYMOND was born at 2:33 a.m. Wednesday and weighed 5 lbs, 13 oz. Their first son, Usher Raymond V, turned 1 on Nov. 26.

“Tameka and the baby are doing fine,” a rep for the singer tells Us.

Nav-who??? Is that like David, just with a dash of ‘hood’ sprinkled on top? SMH at that Tameka.

The Gays Win a Round

Its going down in Miami with the Gays again, and they won this round on adoption:

A Miami judge has struck a blow against a Florida law banning adoptions of children by gay people. Miami Dade Circuit Judge Cindy Lederman ruled Tuesday there was “no rational basis” for prohibiting gays from adopting children. The ruling will allow 47-year-old Martin Gill to adopt two young brothers he has cared for as foster children since 2004. Florida has one of the strictest bans on gay adoptions in the country. A judge in Key West ruled in September that the ban was unconstitutional, but that ruling has had limited legal impact. Attorneys for the state said they would appeal Lederman’s ruling. The appeal will ultimately decide what happens to the state ban in place since 1977.

Bossipers have discussed civil rights with regard to gay marriage, but how do you all feel about the subject of gay adoption?

We are hearing rumors that the union of Usher and that Tameka Foster is over (again) and Tameka is expecting:

R&B singer Usher reportedly has separated from his much older wife, Tameka Foster, who reportedly is expecting their second child in December.

Not another baby, damn. Birth Control must be real played out these days. Don’t feel sorry for that Tameka though, she has some healthy stacks coming.

Usher on July Vibe cover

Check out Usher on the cover of Vibe’s July issue. Apparently he talks about being “married with a vengeance” and “retiring” his mother:

“[Usher] ended his 15-year professional relationship with [mother] Jonetta Patton just days before Mother’s Day last year. She then missed his wedding to Tameka Foster last August. He admits the pair fell out, over what he considered to be her lack of support, but he has stressed that he parted ways with her for her own sake. Continue »

Crazy Tameka Foster on the media turning against her to Essence Magazine:

We (black women) don’t like ourselves. If I were Hispanic, Usher would have the sexiest wife alive. If I were mixed, he’d have the sexiest wife alive.

“But he has a black girl, and it’s like, ‘She’s horrible and she’s ugly!’ “OK, maybe I don’t fit the cookie-cutter standard – 25 and a size two – but this is who he loves.”

Usher’s mother doesn’t like her so she must be color-struck too. SMH.

Update on the Usher/Tameka Wedding Saga for all the “Haters”

Us magazine.com is reporting that Usher and Tameka are indeed still getting married:

“As of right now we don’t have a date but we will let you know when we do.” The couple, who had scheduled their July 28 wedding at the Long Island home of music executive L.A. Reid, called off the ceremony at the last minute without explanation. Multiple newspaper and online outlets speculated that the cancellation was due to bad blood between Foster and Usher’s mother, recent reports about Foster’s criminal past, and Foster’s resistance to signing a prenuptial agreement. However, a source close to the couple dismisses the rumors.

“People are just hating,” says the insider, who reveals the real reason they postponed the wedding was due to a pre-term labor scare. According to the Usher source, at noon on Friday, the four-months pregnant Foster was admitted to St. Vincent’s Medical Center in New York City after suffering cramping. But upon examination, says the source, “she learned it was just uneasiness brought on by the stress of the wedding.”

At that point, the singer decided to postpone the ceremony. But no worries. “Everbody’s fine. Tameka and the baby are fine,” Usher himself told Usmagazine.com on July 31, after the couple arrived via private plane in NYC. Foster chimed: “We’re good. We’re all doing great now.”

SMH at “People are just hating”…spoken in the words of a true manipulator. I don’t know what would be worst, Tameka as a wife or a babymama. Poor Usher.

Tameka and Usher Getting Married This Weekend????

Usher is may be getting ready to end his career this weekend according to New York Daily News:

Are Usher and Tameka Foster ready to make it legal? The buzz is that the two, who are expecting a baby this fall, may wed as soon as this weekend. An insider says they’re personally calling friends like Jay-Z and Beyoncé and Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri to attend the nuptials, which could take place at music honcho L.A. Reid’s Hamptons spread. Big question: is Usher’s mom, Jonetta Patton, invited? Sources say Patton, who’s also Usher’s ex-manager and isn’t on the best of terms with Tameka, may be traveling this week.

Who wants to hear Usher sing about that old woman and all his new kids on the new album? He probably won’t be hot again until the divorce album drops.

Usher wants to set the record straight about his old woman controlling him and his career:

“It has already been announced that I plan to marry this year. However, since my wedding day will be special to Tameka and I, this is information that we would like to keep private. It’s disturbing that the media and bloggers (under the guise as ‘fans’) continuously speculate on the personal aspects of my life, therefore making assumptions and wrong insinuations that my fans are subject to believe.

“I am happy, excited, completely clear and independent on my direction, feelings, decisions and I am NOT BEING LED. Some media and bloggers have been totally intrusive, they have misconstrued aspects of my personal life and, because of this, my ‘true’ fans are not sure about what is fact and what is fiction. There is a difference in stating an opinion versus drawing a conclusion that is incorrect.

“As previously reported, I have NEVER threatened or harassed anyone from any media format – print, radio, television or Internet media. At this point the best thing to say to my fans is just because it sounds enticing and it MAY sound ‘true,’ that does not make it truth. I understand the fact that I must sacrifice some anonymity for the career I love, however some things are personal like having a child or a marriage. These aspects are not for the public and, to me, are sacred. I would hope my privacy in these areas would be respected.”

The old woman probably told him to put this out. Come on, he doesn’t expect us to believe the “face cream junkie” is running things with Tameka. Ms. Patton who was fired by Tameka this year knows what’s up.
