Tameka Raymond On Usher: “He’s Very Accustomed To Having His Way, But…”

Hello Beautiful — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 20:45:53 +0000

We may have met Tameka Raymond when she became Usher’s wife, but just because their marriage ended, doesn’t mean that her motherhood duties did, too. She is the mom of 5 children – all boys – Darrin, 21, whose father was murdered before he was born; Ryan, 12, and Kile, 10, whose father is Tameka’s first husband, music executive Ryan Glover; and Cinco, 4, and Naviyd, 3, her kids with Usher.

She recently spoke to Uptown about balancing work (she’s the owner of two businesses) and romance:

On her custody battle with Usher:
He is a man very accustomed to having his way. This has nothing to do with how I parent. Trust me, I never will have a desire to keep a man away from his kids. I am not June Cleaver or head of the PTA, but I know I am a good mother.

On dating:
I am dating. It’s refreshing. I have not been single in a while. I got divorced and married in the same year. It was a run-on relationship. I don’t bring men around my children. They have never met an ‘Uncle Tony.’ The two that I did bring around, I married.

On what she looks for in a man:
A lot of guys like to play games. I like a man that’s a boss. I am not the dominant one. But a lot of the ones with the right mindset wear OshKosh overalls. And if they are not ﬂy, I don’t like them.

Was Tameka Raymond’s Gay Tweet Directed At Usher?

Tameka Raymond caught a lot of heat for sending a tweet about undercover gay men, but was she really trying to take a shot at her ex-husband Usher? She’s accused him of drug use, questioned his parenting, and has filed a petition against Usher for additional child support and sole custody of their two sons. But the more Tameka attempts to discredit Usher, the more credibility she seems to lose.

Was this tweet directed at her ex-husband or all brothers on the down low? Check out Tameka’s controversial tweets at HuffPost.

Tameka Foster To Usher: “You Don’t Deserve Our Kids”

Usher’s ex-wife Tameka Foster is taking taking him to court for sole custody of their two sons. Tameka has filed court papers asking for him to lose joint physical custody of their children. According to TMZ, Tameka filed court papers in Georgia, asking a judge to strip Usher of joint physical custody of their children ASAP. She’s claiming that Usher has broken several agreements they have in place.

A number of allegations are made against Usher in the legal documents. Tameka claims Usher should seek her permission before taking their kids out of the state, but has consistently failed to do that.

She also alleges they are supposed to agree before hiring a nanny, but he has not approached her before doing so. Usher is apparently meant to ask her to care for the boys if he is ‘away for more than eight’ hours, with Tameka claiming that hasn’t always happened.

Tameka also claims Usher closed her Saks 5th Avenue credit card – which he specifically said he wouldn’t do – and now she can no longer take advantage of the ‘special benefits’ the card offers.’

According to the docs, Usher also promised to pay $5k per month so Tameka could hire her own nanny for the kids – but he hasn’t paid in months, and now owes $34,000 worth of payments.’

She is also alleging Usher’s income has increased after their split, meaning she should get more child support from him.

A court hearing is scheduled to take place tomorrow.

Usher just can’t get this woman off his back! I’m hearing that the children are with him more than they are with Tameka!

You’re Not Alone Demi & Ashton: 5 Other Celebrity Cougar Romances That Failed

Hello Beautiful — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:15:23 +0000

Demi Moore & Ashton Kutcher’s divorce has been a surprise to some, but an inevitable outcome to others. When the two married 6 years ago, all anybody could talk about was their 16-year age difference, but after chronicling their coupledom on Twitter for all their fans to see with cutesy messages back and forth, we all ate our words, assuming that they were solid.

However, when rumors of Ashton’s infidelity hit the net in October, it was clear that everything that glittered on the red carpet wasn’t gold. Sure enough, less than month after the reports surfaced, Demi decided to file for divorce this week. Could their age difference have had something to do with it, too?

Here are 5 other “cougar” relationships that have failed!

Halle Berry & Gabriel Aubry (10-year age difference)

The Oscar-wining actress and French-Canadian model met in November 2005 while shooting an ad for Versace and were inseparable from then on, even welcoming a daughter, Nahla, in March 2008. However, just two years later in April 2010, the couple split and have been engaged in a nasty custody battle ever since.

Vivica A. Fox & Omar “Slimm” White (20-year age difference)

The actress and her club promoter boyfriend dated for over year before he proposed to her with an 8-carat diamond ring the day after Christmas 2010. She bragged about their love on camera, but less than a year after their happy announcement, Slimm confirmed their split, blaming “negativity.”

Madonna & Jesus Luz (28-year age difference)

The iconic artist and Brazilian model caught each others’ eyes while shooting a spread for W magazine in December 2008 – the same year she split from her (10-years-younger) husband Guy Ritchie. They traveled the world together and were photographed showing passionate PDA everywhere from Italy to Brazil to London. But in February 2010, Luz reportedly dumped Madge; though she wasted no time scooping up another boytoy later that year, French dancer Brahim Zaibat – also 28 years her junior.

Tameka Foster & Usher (7-year age difference)

The singer and his stylist got hitched in August 2007, much to the chagrin of his loyal (and mostly female) fans. Just 3 months later, their son Usher Raymond V (aka “Cinco”) was born and in December 2008, their second son Naviyd arrived. But the kids couldn’t keep them together; in June 2009, Usher filed for divorce from Foster after claiming they lived separately for nearly a year. Following the announcement, Tameka made sure to stay in headlines through magazine interviews and Twitter rants.

Eva Longoria & Tony Parker (7-year age difference)

The actress and French basketball player met in the San Antonio Spurs locker room in 2003 and tied the knot on the (not so) lucky date of 7/7/2007. Just three years later, in November 2010, the couple announced their divorce following Tony Parker’s sexting scandal with a teammate’s wife. Eva quickly rebounded, however, with actress Penelope Cruz’s brother Eduardo – 10 years younger – and is now rumored to be dating another NBA baller, Matt Barnes, the ex-fiance of “Basketball Wives” cast mate Gloria Govan.

Usher was attacked by a screaming lady earlier this week when he parked outside of a store in a handicap spot in the ATL. According to TMZ, Usher had arrived to the Little 5 Points Halloween parade and the woman told Usher that he doesn’t belong there and then she goes crazy swinging her arms and tries to grab him. She manages to grab his hoodie and holds it for a second. What we have to ask is where was Usher’s body guard?
