Usher

According to reports, R&B singer Usher is currently working on a potential single for his upcoming album, which will feature hit man T-pain and possibly pop star Michael Jackson. “It’s been created, but it’s not recorded," Usher tells the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "And as long as Michael is open to it, hey, anything goes.” The as yet untitled album will boast production from Jermaine Dupri, Polow Da Don and Usher’s little brother J Lack. “I’ve been diligently working on creating a masterpiece," says Usher. "It’s going to be out first or maybe the second quarter. I see the second quarter of next year. And there will be a video and single out at the top of the year. … I think [Atlanta producer] Polow Da Don is going to have the first one. I think that’s going to be the single 'Love In The Club.'” In the meantime, Usher is having a family filled holiday as he spends time being a husband to wife Tameka Foster and his new baby boy. “I’m really like super dad. Really. I really cook for the family," he said. "Now I basically do chicken and broccoli and steamed vegetables, because I’m on this diet. But believe me, I can fry some chicken too … I really clean up. I walk the dog, myself. I burp the baby. I change the diapers. I trim the tree. I’m about to get the things for the tree after this because it’s bare. … I’m super dad. And it’s only begun.” Usher is still figuring out how to go about releasing the first baby picture of little Usher V. In the meantime, Usher IV says he'll continue to snap his own photos of the baby. “I’ve become an instant photographer, developing them and everything,” he says.
