Usher Speaks On Being Single & Being A Dad

Although 31 year old is R & B singer is proud to be a dad he's not that happy about his sons Usher Raymond V, 2, and Naviyd, 1  following in his foot steps. Although his children love his music to the point that they “harass” him to play their favorite songs, but he wishes that they would grow up to have a normal life.





“I’d really rather he become a lawyer or accountant, but he may be talented,” Ursh told USA Today of his two-year-old, Usher Raymond V. “He’ll just find his way, and I’ll be supportive.”

"My life isn't the typical one, but that doesn't mean I can't be a traditional father, in my own way. My tradition is loving, being available for my kids. I didn't have that from my father, so having it will give them greater potential."

Asked about whether he's dating, Usher smiles and says, "I'm very single." He's not opposed to getting married again, "but I'm in no rush. I want to make sure that I really know what I'm getting into. If someone is out there, I'll find her and we'll make it in time."

Usher is so happy how his "Lil grasshopper" Justin Bieber career is turning out and is Thanking God for that good fortune.  "I feel as if God specifically placed (Bieber) in front of me, because of how I started," says Usher, who keeps in touch with Bieber via his BlackBerry and his Twitter account.

"I understood the hardships of trying to find yourself in this industry at that age, and I wanted him to have an instant, organic connection to his fans. And he's done that. He just has these natural talents — and some you haven't even seen yet."

Dwight Howard More Baby Mama Drama

Reality Star  "Basketball Wives" Royce Reed " is ready to take Dwight Howard back to court, and we are not talking about the basketball one. NBA superstar Dwight Howard's baby mama wants someone to watch over him whenever Dwight is with their 2-year old son, according to new court documents.

Ex-jump off  Royce Reed's motion -- filed in Orange County, Florida yesterday -- in which she claims the Orlando Magic star regularly misses scheduled visitations with their son Reed. Royce also alleges that their son "acts out emotionally and physically and resists being taken by" Dwight's nanny ... according to the docs.

Cops were called in two weeks ago when Royce claimed that Dwight picked up little Reed from preschool when he wasn't supposed to do so.

Royce is asking the court to appoint a guardian -- on Dwight's dime -- to ensure Dwight follows the visitation schedule and Reed gets proper care. Royce's rep says the motion was filed, "as a last resort."

Dwight reps are yet to comment on the situation.

Ameriie New Look....Goes Blonde

R & B singer 1st adds another i in her name -Ameriie and now goes Blonde while switching things up. Not really feeling this look, but everybody needs change sometimes.

  “I’ve always wanted to go platinum blonde, and I figured I’d finally just do it,” Ameriie exclusively tells Rap-Up.com of her new ’do. “One of the things that inspired me are photos I’ve seen of children in the Solomon Islands. They are very brown-skinned, and a lot of them grow white-blonde hair naturally. The contrast in dark skin tone and extremely light hair is really beautiful to me. So I just went for it!”

Ameriie is currently in the studio recording Cymatika Vol. 1, the follow-up to last year’s In Love & War.
