Usher Is A Daddy

Usher and wife Tameka welcomed their new baby boy at 9:30 p.m. Monday night. He weighed 7 pounds and 9 ounces.
Daddy Usher was with his wife and new child at an Atlanta hospital, and the family is expected to be leaving for home on Wednesday.
In September, Usher told PEOPLE that they were expecting a boy, and added, “I just want my son to fully be coherent and to be healthy, first and foremost.”

Christina Makes Pregnancy Look Good

On Tuesday night Christina Aguilera attended the nationwide launch of Rock The Vote 2008 at the opening of Kitson Men in Beverly Hills.

She really is looking lovely. I think this is one of the few shots I’ve seen of her recently without her hubby holding her hand. Her baby bump is noticeable, but not her roots! I wonder how she has managed to keep her hair looking so good? Is it a wig? I don’t think pregnant women are allowed to dye their hair during pregnancy, maybe highlights are allowed, just so long as the dye doesn’t touch the scalp.

Usher and Tameka are expecting a boy!

“I just want my son to fully be coherent and to be healthy, first and foremost,” Usher was quoted in People on Tuesday. “I’ve found that it is a step-by-step process. You can wish for a million and one things. But I hope that my son has the same energy I had as a child. Hopefully, he won’t be as bad as me. I hope that he’s just a healthy son.”

I remember watching him on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” last month, where he said “If it’s a boy, I’m going to name him Usher. “I’m hoping to name him that. I’ve been playing with a few names. I’m the fourth: Usher Raymond IV. I just want to pass the name on. Maybe I’ll change the middle name.”

“I’m working on my album,” he said via phone interview with MTV News. “It’ll be out, I’m not sure when.

“I’m not doing the Dr. Dre to y’all. I’m not doing the Detox,” he said jokingly while referring to Dr. Dre’s all-too-long-awaited next album. “I’m on my way. I’m actually just about finished. I’ve been working on it all this year amongst all the other things I’ve been doing. It’s been a somewhat tumultuous year for me. But you go through something to get to something. I’m a married man with a baby on the way, you gotta love that. That’s the next major step. A lot of what I plan to offer with this album is kinda standing in this spot. … The king’s back. I ain’t gonna say ‘back,’ I never left.”

Usher has been working with Jermaine Dupri - Janet Jackson’s boyfriend, and the production team of Dre and Vidal.
