Usher: TV Guide News

Janet Jackson Steps Up for New Reality Show | Today's News: Our Take | 6/19/2008
Janet Jackson has decided to throw her hat into the reality-TV ring, developing a new show with 25/7 Productions for MTV. The show will search YMCAs, churches, community centers and other atypical places to find the next Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake or Usher — basically someone who has an amazing voice and can also bust some serious moves. (And, presumably, can weather a massive PR nightmare in the wake of "accidental" nudity.)The untitled show, reports Variety, will be shot in the next few months before Jackson takes off on her next world tour on Sept. 10. Do you think we can handle another dancing/singing reality show? Does Jackson's name attached to the show make it more appealing... or less? — Erin FoxRelated• Use Our Online Video Guide to Watch More Janet Jackson read more
Usher Goes Into Angry Outburst on TRL | Today's Top Videos | 5/30/2008
He may have been on TRL to promote his new album, but instead, Usher utilized his air-time to go on a bitter tirade calling out all his haters. It all started when the artist addressed a rumor that he and his wife split, so he set the record straight that it wasn't true. But then things began to snowball from that point, and Usher got so fired up that kept cutting off the host to speak his piece. Someone should have gotten that man a soapbox! read more
Episode Recap: The Winner is Crowned! | Dancing with the Stars | 5/21/2008
Well kids, this is it! It's been just over two months since this crazy season started and now it's all coming to an end. Who would be taking home the crown and who would go home in utter defeat? More importantly, who is being booted right away and settling for third place? I'm anticipating an interesting (yet long!) night ahead, so let's dive into it one last time!After a short interview with our finalists, Usher entered the ballroom and I shouted with glee. He's sexy and talented and he really hasn't had a song I haven't liked. Despite having a headset, I definitely think he wasn't singing his new hit song "Love in This Club" but that's really fine with me. It's a dancing show and if singing live would have made it hard for him to break it down at the end then he shouldn't have sang. I also think every performer on this show has lip-synched so this isn't abnormal. We've had some pretty great performances this year. Which was your favorite? Then the first big moment of the night... read more
Episode Recap: Steve Carell Hosts, Usher Performs | Saturday Night Live | 5/18/2008
Hey guys, it's Erin Fox, back from vacation. Thanks so much to Adam Bryant for filling in while I was gone. We always have lively discussions about SNL on Mondays, so I knew he'd be a fantastic addition to the recap blog. Yay, Adam!So tonight is the season finale, and Steve "The Office and now big movie star" Carell is hosting. If I recall, last time he hosted wasn't all that phenomenal, but hopefully, that won't be the case tonight... especially with all the political fun to be had.Cold OpeningSteve starts off giving an address to some graduates from the "Pounder School." The name is awesome, even though I don't get the reference yet. He talks about how this school is for outsiders, that no one, regardless of background or funny sounding names would ever be made fun of... this is a family. Now he reads the names of the seniors, which is every name Bart Simpson would use to crank phone call Mo (and much dirtier ones). Some of my favorites, "Jack David Mehoff," "Lotta Christine... read more
Carpenter Union Loses Its Charisma, More Love Notes | Today's News: Our Take | 11/28/2007
Buffy/Angel alum (and soon-to-be Big Shots babe) Charisma Carpenter has called it quits with husband Damian Hardy, People says.... Michelle Williams' ex, Heath Ledger, certainly seems to be enjoying singlehood. Not only is he chasing Gemma Ward, per the New York Post he got Heather Graham's digits over Thanksgiving — while dressed like a hobo, no less! Now that's skills.... R&B sex symbol Usher and wife Tameka Foster ushered in a baby boy on Monday, People reports. read more
