Heard, this morning, where singer Usher Raymond's 11 year old stepson is brain dead after being hit by a jet ski driven by a friend during a water accident over the weekend. Usher immediately provided a jet to get the child's mother to his bedside as quickly as possible. Apparently, there has been no brain activity since he's arrived at the hospital, and the child is on life support. It was determined that there was no drug or alcohol involvement. It's comforting to know that, despite the custody problems Usher and Tameka are going through, he was able to put that aside to step up for her.

I read this as well. So sad.
My thoughts are with their families.

I heard about this yesterday. The way the story was told - initially - made it unclear how Usher's step-son was involved and I was left wondering if he was the one driving the jet-ski or the one who was hit. My heart goes out to the family. They have some very tough decisions to make.

that is very nice of him. At least put aside your differences for the sake of this child. So sad.

Octomom is releasing a rap song! The horror, the horror!

[libgirl2]

I thought she was busy with her porn?

One must remember she is a woman of many talents!!

[Critical]

Well, I have no intention of ever seeing her porn or listening to any "music" she makes, but at least she's finally doing what she needs to do to support her family. She spent so much time saying she wouldn't do this and wouldn't do that, while the reports about her dire financial situation kept getting more dire. I still think she has a screw loose, but I'm glad she's doing what she can to bring in money and take care of her kids.

[Gutmutter]

Those poor kids.
