FRIDAY'S R&B LATEST ....

Okay, okay, so after the Rihanna and Beyonce excitement last night, I guess it's back to our regular R&B resume with the latest R&B gossip. And this week, our king of R&B Usher made the exclusive declaration to MTV that it is true about the recent engagement reports! He is actually engaged to on-off girlfriend Tameka Foster, the woman who is TEN years his senior (what is it with Usher and older women?). What happens when he wants to have kids of his own and she decides she doesn't want any more because she has two already from a previous marriage? But also the fact that as a woman her age, her biological clock is starting to get a little rusty and women who choose to have kids at 40+ are putting their babies at risk of certain abnormalities. I'm just saying, because I know Usher's mama isn't taking a liking to Ms Foster right now and when a "pre-nup" starts to find its way into the discussion, it could all end in tears. But if this is for real and he makes her happy then I say go for it because life is just way too short to ponder. On that note, Usher also gave us the lowdown on his latest new album which is yet to be titled but he expects the new project to be released by November via LA Face Records, so I look forwards to his comeback.

This week, Brandy was spotted in West Hollywood where she was seen outside the Bodhi Tree bookstore:

Wow. A Brandy appearance since it was reported that she got into a fatal car accident which ended up killing somebody. She looks well, but I'm interested in her comeback and I hope she can put the accident behind her despite the lawsuit.

Yesterday, Jennifer Lopez visited MTV's "MiTRL":

Again, hottest chick in the game right now. Untouchable.

Here is Musiq Soulchild's Photo Session - 28th March 2007, which were unveiled this week and they are great photo's:

I can't stop jamming to his album Luvanmusiq. He definetely deserved the no1 spot.

But what shocked me more than anything was the latest appearance of season 1 American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson who showed off her new porky look this week:
