Usher and Shaniece

Rumor has it that Usher Raymond is dating Evelyn Lozada’s daughter Shaniece Hairston. The pair were spotted leaving Sean Combs’ 49th birthday bash in West Hollywood.

“They came together and left together,” said a source, who failed to mention that Usher arrived and left with a bevy of beauties.

The R&B crooner and his wife Grace supposedly separated this year. But sources say they are still together. It’s hard to know what to believe these days.

A rep for Lozada, who made a name for herself on Basketball Wives, tells Page Six “Shaniece is not dating Usher. They were all going to the same destination and just so happened to share a car.”

In unrelated news, Usher filed a motion for a gag order to keep the sordid details of his herpes lawsuits from going public.

Earlier this year an Atlanta woman named Laura Michelle Helm filed a lawsuit against Usher accusing him of infecting her with Herpes.

Several other people have also filed lawsuits against the singer.

In documents obtained by Bossip, Usher claimed he is facing embarrassment, ridicule and damage to his public image if his medical records and sex partners become public.

But his fans say Usher’s public image is already tarnished.

Once the herpes horse has left the barn, its too late to slam the barn door shut.
