USHER IN THE BIG APPLE

With no sign of fiancée Tameka Foster, Usher makes a cool solo arrival at his New York Mandarin hotel on Tuesday. According to Usherforever.com, Usher's in town to start shooting his self-titled fragrance ADs.

Usher is very fond of his leather jacket. Keep reading to see what I mean by this.

That swagger...

Usher in the same leather jacket with his girlfriend, Tameka not too long ago at the Meatpacking District:

Lloyd recently told the story of how he came to record his new hit "Get It Shawty" which was produced by Usher's younger brother, JLACK:

"I was working in the studio with Jazze Pha one day and Usher's brother [James] 'J. Lack' [Lackey] came by," Lloyd explained. "[We] recorded a song called 'Hazel,' and because of our vibe, he accidentally played me another song called 'Get It Shawty.' Usher was there and he kind of waved him off, like, 'No, what are you doing? You're not supposed to play that.' I was just so in love with the song that I had Jazze kind of call them every day and tell them how much I wanted to record it. They actually invited me to the crib, Usher and J. Lack, and we recorded it at their studio. Originally, their stance was, 'I know you like it, but how about this one?' And I was like, 'No, no, no, I want that one!' [He laughs.] 'I need that one. That's the one for me.' I know Usher wants to showcase J. Lack's talent on his next project. So I would go as far as to say, yeah, 'Get It Shawty' was probably for Usher's album."

I HATE THE SCARVES!! (shaking my head) He looks fly, but I can't get past the scarves. For real... where is his stylist? She needs to make an appearance right about now...Oh damn she is the one dressing him in these scarves!

See my sidebar poll to see that Usher's wearing yet another scarve! Tameka wears one religiously too.

-smh-

If this is the style he's going to come back with, Tameka isn't thinking straight. You simply cannot mix business with pleasure. It can't work...in this instance.
