Real Gossip posted up an interesting tidbit about a new novel called, Dedication, written by the Nanny Diaries writers, Nicola Kraus and Emma MCLaughlin.

Supposedly the writers were caught up in the hoopla surrounding Usher and Chilli's love affair so much that the relationship inspired the pair to write a book based off it.

Kraus and MCLaughlin's new book follows the fortunes of a woman who confronts her high school sweetheart after he used their relationship as inspiration for a pop music career. MCLaughlin tells internet gossip columnist Marc Malkin, "That album was ubiquitous. You could not go anywhere without it pumping out of every car, every restaurant. We couldn't stop thinking about it.
"We were like, 'How is Chilli not killing herself right now?'"

Going back to Usher and Chilli, do you see the same kind of love and admiration when Usher now with his new wife, Tameka Foster?

Word is that Usher's new album, The Untold Story, doesn't drop until mid-2008. He'll perform at this year's Fashion Rocks live in New York City.
