And They Said It Wouldn't Last! Usher & Tameka Raymond Welcomed Their Second Son On Wednesday!!

So much for all the wild speculative talk about Usher & Tameka Raymond's marital issues. They just welcomed the second addition to their growing family on Wednesday. People need to stop hating on love. That's what I think they have between them. Love is a glorious thing. Be happy for a black male celebrity who is enmeshed in family instead of being enmeshed in scandal! Congratulations,guys! Here's more on the birth of their second son from MTV:

"Usher and Tameka Raymond welcomed their second son, Naviyd Ely Raymond, on Wednesday, December 10th, at 2:33 a.m., weighing 5 pounds, 13 ounces," Usher's rep said in a statement. "Tameka and the baby are doing fine."

The couple have one other son together, 1-year-old Usher Raymond V (i.e. the fifth). Usher and his wife got married in 2007 in Atlanta in a simple ceremony, after canceling the original, more lavish wedding. There were many rumors about why they rescheduled, including Usher's mom disapproving of the relationship, claims the couple later denied. Tameka has three sons from a previous relationship."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1601175/20081211/usher.jhtml

Celebrities Who Are Going Broke Need To Holler At Morgan Freeman! He's Insanely Rich Because Of Good Investments!

Morgan Freeman grew up in Mississippi where folks are wretchedly poor. That's why he really was smart about saving & investing his income. While everybody is trying to outdo the Jones,Morgan Freeman has outdone the failing economy. For too many celebrities,the shit is hitting the fan at a rapid pace. Almost monthly now, you hear about some rapper auctioning off their jewelry or a singer losing her home. Even though he may have to pay $100 million to his wife in a divorce settlement,the real story is how major Freeman's cash flow is. I don't think anybody had any idea that he was sitting on that kind of dough.Here's more from the Chicago Sun-Times:

"Though there's no comment from either party in this breakup, Freeman's wife of 24 years stands to rake in more than $100 million in a potential settlement.

Original estimates put the actor's net worth in the $75 million to $90 million range, but now it is being reported he may be worth as much as three to four times that amount.

Among assets contributing to the actor's bounty are a very valuable gold coin collection, a rare stamp collection, a $7 million home in the Virgin Islands, real estate in Freeman's native Mississippi worth nearly $30 million (including a $5 million personal home), a $10 million New York apartment and a $15 million Los Angeles estate.

"Morgan has always remembered what it was like to be a poor, struggling actor, and as a result he has always been very careful with his money. Morgan isn't cheap, but he has always been pretty frugal" a longtime associate told me Tuesday."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the whole article here:http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/zwecker/1313336,CST-FTR-zp04.article

Why Would Anyone Feel The Need To Airbrush Jessica Alba's Pictures?

Wow,Jessica Alba isn't thin enough for Campari magazine! Apparently,her picture was airbrushed so that she could appear thinner than she already is. Give me a break! And we wonder why folks have a variety of eating disorders. I thought she looked great in the original photo. Something is really wrong with our society. Human beings are supposed to have some flesh on them. Body image is a real issue for a lot of folks. What are we saying when we airbrush a thin person's photo? Well,the message I'm getting is that even Jessica Alba isn't thin enough. Is it any wonder then that girls as young as 5 are concerned about their weight gain?
