Samsung's Four Seasons of Hope has earned more than $10 million in charitable funds since its inception, D.J. Oh, Samsung president, announced to the 1,000 plus attendees of the charity's sixth annual Gala last night. The charity raised $1 million at Monday's event. Emcee Regis Philbin presented Oh with a cheque for that amount, kicking off a night of inspirational words by a star-studded lineup of speakers and a performance by Grammy winner Alicia Keys. Wow. Alicia looked absolutely beautiful. I always thought she looked mad hot with the curly hair but she looks even more hotter with the straight do. The dress, the hair, make-up - absolutely wowsers! Keep it up Ms Keys. Alicia is due to drop her new album this fall, and if you still haven't heard the new track "Superwoman" which I put up yesterday where she is in the studio working on that album, then click here. As I'm a huge AK fan, I will definitely be on my grind when it comes to those updates in the coming weeks.
Check out actor Will Smith's oldest son Trey with his girlfriend recently:
I was at one of my regular forums and folks were really upset that he is dating a "Becky". But HELL, he can date who he likes. He is a VERY handsome young man (would look waaaay better if he got a haircut though) but folks should cut the kid some slack. He is a looker, growing up and enjoying himself.

It's rare we see these two showing much affection but all is well and it's really good to see Beyonce happy. Honest.
Usher's fiance Tameka Foster has exclusively done an interview with Essence magazine, and I have to add that it was a pretty good read. She address all the criticisms of us bloggers, hahaha! She denies that she has NO type of dispute with Usher's mama and that she is NOT the reason why Usher's mama is no longer his manager. She has denied all accusations that she is "difficult," "manipulative" and "crazy" and describes herself as "one of the most down-to-earth, non-Hollywood people you'll ever meet". She denies that SHE is the woman Usher cheated on TLC's Chilli with. She denies that she and Chilli are beefing. She denies that Usher is a homewrecker. And she only started dating Usher in November 2005. Oh, and they've just bought a house together and plan to have kids in the near future. Here are some tidbits from the interview:Essence.com: Bloggers worldwide have criticized your relationship with Usher. You haven't responded until now. Why?
Tameka Foster: Friends tell me about some of it and we'll laugh, but honestly, I don't pay attention to the gossip on the day-to-day. However, things have been said about my ex-husband and about me and my relationship with Usher's mom among other things, that I would like to clear up. I am not speaking because I feel the need to validate our relationship. We're good.
Essence.com: Bloggers have also reported that you are pregnant with some other man's child, possibly your ex-husband's, and that Usher has promised to raise it. Supposedly you two broke up and got back together in February when he found out you were four months pregnant. True or false?
T.F.: That is ridiculous. No, I am not pregnant with my ex-husband's child. If that were the case, the baby would have been born already. Yes, we had a brief split for about a month, but just to reassess and figure everything out.
Compelled to read more? Then, click here for the rest. Part II of the interview will be up tomorrow so check the site tomorrow to read the second part.
