Usher's baby picture's are finally out in THE AUGUST ESSENCE MAGAZINE!

Usher says of his baby boy.....

“He’s gonna admire me, he’s gonna look up to me. He’s gonna say, ‘I wanna be’ or he should say - ‘I wanna be like my father.” When asked about his marriage to Tameka, Usher responds, “They think that it was forced. I’ve heard a lot of comments like, “Oh, she trapped him.” “He got a baby by her, and then she’s married and she’s set for life. No. She wasn’t pregnant when I asked her to marry me. There’s some sort of huge conspiracy over this, the fact that I made these choices in my life. No I grew older. As a man, I have to take responsibility and take a hold of my life. I’m accountable for what happens to my life now.”

My Playboy Experience................Jayde interviewed!

The video is up there on my Daily Motion VIDEOWALL! That is my 21 y/o son above with the newest 2008 Playboy playmate of the year. Some of you know that I'm family up there in the Chicago headquarters and got to do an exclusive interview with Jayde Nicole at her Posh hotel downtown Toronto after her 2 hour autograph signing at Yonge and College. We all had fun. That issue is out on stands above and Jayde signed several autographs for me and also my interview was recorded by Playboy TV while my son/videographer was recording ours.

Video Director Ed Knigge and Playboy Marketing Director Stephen Murray said it would be aired on Playboy Television as part of the documentary of Jayde's visit back home to Canada. So you men subscribers who have Playboy on cable, look for my complete interview coverage which will also premiere later today on my media gossip site!

MAN AND WIFEY: Mariah attends Time 100 party with Nick!

MARIAH CAREY and rapper/actor NICK CANNON stepped out together for the first time as husband and wife when they hit the Time 100 party in New York City on Thursday night (08May08). Mariah is on the list! The couple, who exchanged nuptials in a surprise wedding last week (30Apr08) at the singer's mansion in the Bahamas, showed off their wedding rings as they mingled with other celebrity guests at the event hosted by Time magazine. It is the second marriage for Carey, who split from Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola in 1997 after four years together. Cannon called off his engagement to model Selita Ebanks last year after another whirlwind romance.

Mariah had this silver skimpy dress on and she performed. I saw it on Access Hollywood but couldn't find pictures of the performance itself online. Above are the couple and the dress I just described. Picture by Busacca of Wireimage

Why is Beyonce on the cover of TODAY'S PEOPLE Magazine????

Friday's PEOPLE: There is no story there! This is why I really can't stand all the tabloid mags..........Leave them alone and let them keep the secret till we hear about the divorce. I don't wish them that though. There is nothing in that PEOPLE magazine that anyone can't find on the blogs. What a waste!!! Even Solange said this morning....."What are you talking about?" when asked about the wedding. Jay-Z's new bodyguard said he'll break cameras at the ATL party on Tuesday if anyone tried to photograph a ring or get close to Beyonce.


That white guy scares me! When they came to Nigeria in 2006, thank God I had that media badge on, he was ready to break anyone into two. You better know Jay-Z's bodyguard. He was the one with him in a tuxedo on the Grammy red carpet this year. See him behind my Journalist brother Nduka whose paper planned the whole concert, Jay and Snoop after Jay's 14 song performance in Nigeria. (He needed the damn towel! Even I was sweating!!!) Above is Jay going on the Letterman show last week.


Beyonce sang our national anthem in Nigeria. Were we all shocked! I was working freelance for MTV Base that night. This is my video that my cameraman taped and we showed on Nigerian TV. MTV Base is MTV Africa/Europe.

Alicia Keys is on cover of our Canadian Magazine FLARE!

If you don't know, Flare is a Canadian fashion magazine and Ms Keys is on the cover of the March 2008 issue. Enjoy the read!
