Usher Closing In On No. 1 Album Debut
Usher's "Here I Stand" (LaFace/Zomba) continues to charge its way towards a No. 1 debut on next week's Billboard 200 album chart, as it will once again lead Nielsen SoundScan's Building chart when it is released later today (May 30).
Unweighted sales of "Stand" through the close of business Thursday (May 29) were 267,000. Depending on weekend sales, Usher has a chance to meet or possibly exceed the year's best sales week -- when Mariah Carey's "E=MC2" (Island) bowed with 463,000 in April.

The Grammy winner's latest LP was due to hit stores in June (08), but, after scoring a U.S. number one with his Young Jeezy collaboration Love In This Club last month (Mar08), bosses at his record label Zomba have now decided to drop the disc on 27 May (08).

I'm no picture pimp - Usher
FINALLY, there's one celebrity who refuses to cash in on parenthood by selling baby pictures to a magazine. "In no way would I ever pimp out my child for money," Usher told Page Six.
The pop singer - upset by rumors he was trying to sell photos of his infant son, Usher Raymond V, and eager to defend his wife, Tameka, and his upcoming album, "Here I Stand" - wants to set the record straight.
"I am livid that people talk about my child," Usher told us. In fact, he has posed - for free - with his son f

Usher & Tameka Raymond File For Separation!
Well what do we have here? Extremely reliable sources close to Mr. Raymond himself have confirmed to TheYBF.com that Usher has indeed filed for separation from his wife of only 9 months Tameka Raymond. I’m told he actually filed three weeks ago. And Usher is torn on whether he will be making an official announcement or not as he wants to save face and just let it “leak”. How convenient that his album releases in exactly 6 days, his second video hit the net today, and his album leaked yesterday. W
Pictures of newlyweds Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon on set of their first encounter
Mariah Carey's first encounter with her new husband took place only a month ago on the set of her new music video, it has been revealed.
Mariah, 38, first met the actor, who is 11 years her junior, on the set of "Bye Bye" in March.
They enjoyed a whirlwind romance before Mariah was spotted with an engagement ring last week.
Chilli: "Confessions didn't end Usher relationship"
TLC star ROZONDA 'Chilli' THOMAS has finally spoken out about her split from ex-boyfriend Usher, insisting the much-hyped break-up had nothing to do with revelations the singer made on his CONFESSIONS album.
Both Usher and Thomas refused to speak about the 2003 split, despite speculation suggesting the clues to the break-up were literally written all over his album.
Songs about cheating led fans to believe the Waterfalls singer had dumped the R+B stud after learning he had been unfaithful, and in the
Um...There's A Centerpiece On Your Head
I think My Little Pony Parker decided to pay homage to Mimi and Nick Cannon's wedding by wearing one of their centerpieces on her head to the "Sex and the City" premiere in London today. Kim Cattrall is totally flashing a cunty smile, because she's glad Pony showed up with fake green roses and butterflies on her head. Kim looks like a goddamn goddess compared to Pony.
Well, if Pony gets a little hungry, she can snack on one of the weeds in her hat.
Usher: 'Chris Brown Is The New Me'
Usher has hailed fellow singer and Rihanna’s rumoured boyfriend Chris Brown as a younger version of himself, insisting the star will "follow the same path".
Usher, 29, was just 15 when he released his self-titled debut album in 1994 and has gone on to forge a highly successful music career.
And the You Make Me Wanna hitmaker is convinced 19-year old Brown is all set to follow in his footsteps and dominate the R&B scene.
He says: "All of this young energy is great for the industry. Chris is the gu
Kelly, Nelly and Usher enjoy a night out in London - and rack up a £110,000 bar bill
Hip hop royalty Usher, Kelly Rowland and Nelly managed to spend £110,000 on their friends at Amika nightclub in Kensington, West London.
The bar bill last night included £16,000 jeroboams of white-gold Dom Perignon.
Former Destiny's Child singer Kelly, 27, threw the party to celebrate her final night in London after a weekend of house-hunting in Chelsea, and the launch of new album Ms Kelly.
She stepped out looking casual but glamorous in indigo jeans, a low-cut white top and high-heeled, open
