A New Twist in the Usher/Tameka Sex Tape Scandal
Yesterday, the Internet was ablaze with news about a sex tape that was being shopped around Atlanta featuring R&B king Usher, 32, and his comely ex-wife, Tameka Foster, 40. The sex tape may have come from the hard drive of one of two Macbook Pro laptop computers that were among a $1 million cache of items stolen from Usher’s SUV which was broken into outside a Verizon store near Lenox Square Mall in 2009.
While Tameka embarked on a Twitter rampage against this blogger last night, I received a phone call from a close friend who was acting on a tip from a third party who had a screen shot of Usher for sale (presumably from the sex tape).
She told me that the seller was on his way to her location with the picture and she would describe it for me.
After viewing the photo, the friend called me back and offered up this description of it:
“It wasn’t nothing but a picture of Tameka holding [Usher's] penis with her mouth open like she was about to start sucking it. Then you see his hand with the star [tattoo] on it hold[ing] the penis. It wasn’t a good picture at all.”
After hearing the description of the photo (and realizing it was a photo of Tameka, and not Usher as I had been originally told) I declined to purchase the screen shot.
I should point out here that no mention was made of a sex tape for sale — just the one screen shot.
Moments later, I received a phone call from another close friend who informed me that celebrity blogger ATLien (owner of Straightfromthea.com) had just tweeted that she was approached by someone offering to sell her a screen shot from the alleged sex tape.
Is it just a mere coincidence that two celebrity bloggers who have had run-ins with Tameka Foster in the past were both approached on the same evening by someone offering to sell a photo from the alleged sex tape?

Did Usher Beg Tameka Foster To Give Him the Strap?
According to sources close to Usher and Tameka Foster’s camps, the sex tape that’s being peddled to the highest bidder purportedly shows Usher’s ex-wife Tameka Foster pleasuring him with a strap on device. If you’re not sure what that is, Google it.
TMZ was approached several days ago by someone claiming to have the sex tape. The person sent us a short video and two photos. We’ll keep this PG-13 and just say … the people in the video are both givers.
The video and photos are clear — it’s Usher and Tameka.
Sources close to Usher — without specifically admitting the existence of a sex tape — tell us they believe this video could have been among the things Usher had stolen out of his car back in December 2009. Usher reported more than $1,000,000 worth of jewelry and electronics taken — including two laptop computers.
A rep for Usher had no comment.
UPDATE: Foster released a statement to TheYBF.com … saying, “Would I sanction a sextape being out? Absolutely not. I am a mother and entrepreneur. Sex tapes or pornography would not be my lane. I have no desire to be seen in that way.”

Lisa Rinna gets the boot from “Celebrity Apprentice”
If you watched Donald Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” last night, then you saw what happens when you put a bunch of narcissists in a room together and give them a task to complete.
The backstabbing and infighting began almost immediately as NeNe Leakes, Dionne Warwick, Star Jones, Lisa Rinna and LaToya Jackson plotted against each other. Women are easily intimidated by each other. It doesn’t take much to make an insecure chick with low self esteem jealous.
When faced with a challenge, it’s usually the best narcissist among them who comes out on top. Throw in the fact that every one of these ladies has had some sort of plastic surgery, and you have a recipe for disaster.

Celebs Out & About: Lindsay Lohan, LisaRaye, Devyne Stephens, Bobby Brown
A fan couldn’t resist jumping in front of Lindsay Lohan after she and her family arrived at JFK airport in NY last night. The troubled 24-year-old actress tweeted:
“I love ny – but the paparazzi @ jfk just gave me an anxiety attack….. i was half asleep! they’re such animals
well- @ least im with my family in the end…. xo”
Some people took that last part to mean that she’s agreed to plead guilty to theft and accept a plea agreement to serve 3 months in prison next month.
Actress and philanthropist LisaRaye, 43, and her longtime beau, music mogul Devyne Stephens, 38, — who is described as her “Mystery Man” by the press — were spotted have dinner together in Beverly Hills, CA last night. If you recall, I told you two years ago that LisaRaye and the former choreographer to the stars were an item. Both parties denied the relationship, partly due to the fact that they were both seeing other people. Stephens founded Upfront Megatainment and Upfront records with Akon.
Singer Bobby Brown, 42, was spotted with his wife/manager Alicia Etheridge outside The Roxbury in Hollywood last night. The couple have a 1-year-old son together named Cassius Brown. Bobby has a total of five children by different women, including a daughter, Bobbi Kristina, with his ex-wife, singer Whitney Houston.

Put ‘Em On Blast: Bow Wow
Before we get into this “Put ‘em on Blast” post, I want to send my condolences to the family of Darrell “Big D” Davis, (pictured above) who is better known as rapper Bow Wow’s longtime bodyguard. He passed away last week due to complications from an undisclosed medical issue.
Funeral services were held for Mr. Davis on Friday, March 11 in Stockbridge, GA.
If you are a Bow Wow fan then you are familiar with Big D, who protected Bow Wow from day 1 up until a few years ago when the two men parted ways professionally.
Bow Wow was supposed to attend Big D’s funeral but he never showed up. According to inside sources who asked to remain anonymous, Bow Wow, 24, real name Shad Moss, also promised to handle the full costs of the funeral to relieve the hardship on the family.
That promise went from taking care of the full costs to paying half of the costs to paying nothing at all, leaving the family scrambling to come up with the funds to pay the entire bill.
I would love to give credit to the REAL MEN in the industry who stepped up to pay the entire funeral bill for the Davis family, but they do not wish to be identified.
Let’s just say that they are very close to Bow Wow. Under normal circumstances, these people would not betray Bow Wow’s trust, but what’s wrong is wrong. By the way, my inside source drops a scoop in their email to us. Remember where you read it first!
Hi Sandra,
Bodyguard/Security affectionately known as “Big D” passed away on March 3. He’d been battling health issues. His funeral was held today in Atlanta, Georgia. He was Bow Wow’s bodyguard for over 8 years. One of the FEW people that was there for him since day one. What’s sketchy is how Bow committed to paying for his funeral. Well… paying in full went to HALF and HALF went to him not even showing up at all! Now how in the world does he LIVE in Atlanta and not show up to the funeral!?!? Maybe he was too busy tearing down Babies R Us since he has a child on the way! (Oops! Did I spill that? (And YES, it is a FACT.) Bow Wow is going through all these changes to reinvent himself. He has a new home with Young Money and always talks about how he “helps them” and they help each other… well guess he forgot he agreed to HELP his long time friend. What a damn shame!!–Thanks,-S
In the video after the break, Bow Wow is Punked by Toure for a segment on BET that never aired. As he leaves the room, you can hear Bow Wow shout, “Big D, handle that!” Big D was always there for Bow Wow. Too bad he couldn’t be there for Big D.

Why is there no looting in Japan?
Of all the heartbreaking and uplifting stories coming out of quake-hit Japan, the most talked about is the lack of looting even in the hardest hit areas.
We know that there is no looting in Japan because the media, who are painstakingly searching for images of looting among the devastation, are shocked to find that there is none.
Contrast that with the media coverage of the widespread looting in post-Katrina New Orleans that was split down racial lines. The media’s coverage of the looting in New Orleans was shamefully biased.
White looters were described as “recovering” basic items necessary for survival — such as bottled water and detergent, while blacks were portrayed as looters scavenging for beer and cigarettes.
The media never tires of reporting on the looting, pillaging and rapes that continue to plague the Haitian people.
But in Japan, where people generally look out for one another, the media is reduced to settling for images of “solidarity” among the Japanese people. “Perhaps even more impressive than Japan’s technological power is its social strength…” writes a British reporter. “This is quite unusual among human cultures,” he adds.
It’s also quite unusual for the media to notice.
