Don't believe the lies! Usher is alive and well... and ripped!

The internet was ablaze with rumors Tuesday that the R&B singer had died tragically in a car crash, so to clear up the confusion, the "Confessions" crooner tweeted this picture with the caption, "I must've died and went to heaven...Alive and cold kicking a**!!"

Thank goodness we don't have to comfort Justin Bieber over the loss of his mentor!

It's a good thing the 31-year-old father of two is still kickin', because he is gearing up for a series of collaborations with the "Boyfriend" singer that will be released on both their respective albums.

Selena Gomez' main man is already hyping up his fans to get them excited for the new tunes. Yesterday he tweeted: "Now headed to a COVER SHOOT with big bro @UsherRaymondIV - we got duets on both our albums coming."

We can already feel the fire from these two burning up the charts!

Move over Kate Middleton, your little sis Pippa is stealing the spotlight!

Music mogul/superstar Usher has just revealed he wants to feature Pippa Middleton's "perfect bum" in his upcoming lingerie line!

Usher is releasing his first line of sexy undies this summer, and he gushed to Britain's Look magazine he wants Duchess Catherine's little sister to be the face of his new line.

The OMG singer confessed:

    "I don't think there's a more beautiful, more stunning, more talked-about woman in the world at the moment. I'm going to be approaching her in the next few weeks and setting up a meeting this summer."

What would the Queen say?

Usher went on to express: "The great thing about her is that she would be a global brand. Everybody knows her now, she would be perfect. I am sure everybody is trying to sign her up and she won't be cheap, but she has the looks and the popularity to really establish a new product."

Get in line, Usher. Miss Middleton doesn't have a Facebook page dedicated to her perfect booty for nothin’!

Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Usher Urged To Return Millions Made Performing For Qaddafi's Family

Mar 1, 2011 12:21 PM

Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Usher and 50 Cent are facing calls from music industry insiders to return the millions they made performing for members of controversial Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's family members.

Mariah Carey reportedly earned $1 million in 2008 to sing only four songs for Qaddafi's son, Muatassim, during a New Year's Eve bash in St. Barts.

Beyonce and Usher also performed for an undisclosed sum for family members on the same Caribbean island just one year later. 50 Cent performed for Muatassim at a 2005 film festival in Venice.

"If it were me, it would go to charity," says Buck Williams, an agent for R.E.M. and Widespread Panic. As for what these performers, who are millionaires several times over, should do with this cash, "Hopefully donate it to a charity that somehow assists some of the people who have suffered at the hands of that regime," an agent for Arcade Fire told Rolling Stone.

Artists faced similar criticism decades ago after playing at a resort in South Africa during apartheid. Rod Stewart, Queen and the British band Status Quo donated money to charities after facing similar outcries.

But despite the current unrest going on in his country, Quaddafi didn't suddenly become a bad guy. In 1988, he ordered the bombing of a Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, Scotland, which resulted in the deaths of 270 people. So why would they perform for such a corrupt ruler in the first place?

"Ninety percent of the time the artist has no clue," says Williams. "I don’t think most artists go into [performing at a party like this] with that kind of in-depth focus, [of] how each country is governed and what goes on inside each country," an agent for Metallica, Billy Joel and Rod Stewart said. "Not every artist is a humanitarian. In more cases than not, for people, greed rules."

But for one artist, that's clearly not the case. On Friday, Nelly Furtado tweeted:

"In 2007, I received 1million$ from the Qaddafi clan to perform a 45 min. Show for guests at a hotel in Italy. I am going to donate the $"

Jamie Foxx Gets Into A Fist Fight At Usher Concert In Hollywood

Feb 11, 2011 10:59 AM

bardot hollywood nightclub Jamie Foxx

The pre-Grammy bashes have already started, and last night partygoers at the Belvedere Red event at Avalon got more than just a performance by Usher -- they witnessed a bar brawl between Jamie Foxx and another patron!

Sources inside tell X17online that right before Usher took the stage, a man tried to hit Foxx, and the actor/singer threw back a punch to retaliate. Security guards broke up the fight, and Foxx was escorted to his car by a team of bodyguards after the show. Foxx was not hurt, and the police were not called, so it sounds like this is the last we're going to hear of this!

Usher Cancels Three More Tour Dates Due To Respiratory Infection

Jan 15, 2011 10:35 AM

usherburnedout.jpg After Usher bailed out of a rescheduled Berlin show on Wednesday evening, the R&B star has now cancelled this weekend's concerts in Holland, Germany and Belgium, due to a respiratory illness.

Usher's rep released the following statement on the matter:

    "Usher is suffering from an upper respiratory illness which is currently preventing him from performing a proper show. After consultation with doctors, he has been advised to reschedule the upcoming dates in order to get the rest he needs to ensure a complete recovery."

Usher was quoted as saying, "I have been very excited about my European tour and I deeply regret having to reschedule the shows. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience I have caused my fans. My fans are the best in the world and I am looking forward to getting better so that I can give them the show they deserve."

According to his management, Usher wasn't "feeling well" on Wednesday, and after singing just five songs and getting booed by the audience, he left the stage. The singer is due to kick off the UK leg of his world tour in Manchester on January 26, so hopefully he'll be recovered by then!

What went wrong on The X Factor today with Britney Spears?

Britney definitely had another meltdown. This is proof she's not ready to step back into the spotlight!
I think Britney may have overreacted to a bad audition, but it will be entertaining to watch later!
I think Simon Cowell planned this all along. Brit probably even rehearsed it!
