Usher was spotted in Los Angeles this weekend picking up a few things to help him stay pretty… Props to him for not being ashamed to be caught shopping in the Beauty Supply aisle!

Maybe we spoke too soon. He is looking kinda sheepish. What’s in the bag, Ush? Lol j/k!

In a recent interview,  Usher tolded UK news outlet The Guardian that he believes reality televison talent shows like “American Idol” are keeping the music industry from progressing.

Ursh says many of the yet talented performers are thrown into the industry without knowledge of the business of music.

Interestingly, the singer has mentored an “AI” winner, helping Justin Bieber launch his career. Critics may have a few words to say about Usher's comments, but he also blames irresponsible record companies.

What yall think?

RUMORS HAVE BEEN RUNNING WILD ON ALL FOURS SURROUNDING TAMEKA AND USHER'S MARRIAGE. I MUST NOW REPORT AS WELL THE COUPLE IS HEADED FOR DIVORCE. MANY SOURCES CLOSE TO THE COUPLE HAVE SAID THE MARRIAGE HAS BEEN ON THE ROCKS AND THEY ARE GOING STRAIGHT TO DIVORCE COURT. 

 Usher is expected to file for divorce early next week, according to an insider.

But a source who knows Tameka Foster Raymond says the stylist is still referring to Usher as “my husband” and isn’t about to call it quits. “She’s been in his life for so long. She’s very loyal to him,” says the source who knows her. “Tameka is the type of woman to flip out.”

Separate Lives
The R&B star, 30, and his wife of nearly two years, 38, have been leading separate lives for months, say sources. “A lot of that is because Usher has been in Vegas recording his new record ,” explains one source. “He’s done his best to keep Tameka away.” Even while he’s home in Atlanta, a source who knows the couple – who have two sons, Usher Raymond V, 18 months, and Naviyd, 6 months – says the pair often fought. “Usher has not been staying at home with her much lately,” says the source. “I rarely saw Usher around even before there were any children born.”

 Troubled Romance
The marriage was filled with drama from the start. The couple canceled their July 2007 wedding  on the morning of the big day. At the time, sources blamed their differing ideas for the event, as well as family matters: Usher’s mother, Jonetta Patton, did not approve of Foster Raymond (who was pregnant at the time), said a source.

A week later, they tied the knot in the Atlanta office of Usher’s lawyers, then exchanged vows again during a lavish celebration on September 1. Patton reportedly was not among the 200 guests. This past February, just two months after Naviyd’s birth , Foster Raymond nearly died while undergoing liposuction.

Living single
Despite the couple’s brief reunion, Usher apparently has been acting like a single man lately. He has been linked to Island Def Jam.  “It was a boy’s night out but there were girls,” says a local source. “He was in such a good mood!”

Meanwhile, Tameka is focusing on keeping her family happy. “She clearly loves her kids,” says the source who knows her. “She’s going to stay positive.”

Usher’s reps had no comment.

DANG USH MAYBE YOU SHOULD TOUGH IT OUT A BIT. THERE ARE CHILDREN INVOLVED AND WHATS THAT PRENUP LOOKING LIKE? IN THE WORDS OF KEVIN FOWLER BOO-BOO "ITS CHEAPER TO KEEP HER."
