Usher Wins Primary Custody of Two Children

It’s been long and it’s been ugly, but for Usher Raymond, it’s all been worth it: A judge has awarded the singer primary custody of the two children he shares with ex-wife Tameka Foster. The case has gone back and forth for months, with Foster alleging that Usher was an irresponsible father who took drugs in front of his kids. Accusations of infidelity, inattentiveness and a great deal of name-calling have also been tossed around by both sides. Usher even cried once on the witness stand. But the court has now sided with Usher and the former couple’s sons will spend a majority of time with their father. Foster will receive some custodial rights, but it’s unclear at the moment just how the arrangement will work. [Photo: WENN.com]

Bobbi Kristina Doubts Father Can "Rise Above" Alcoholism

Bobby Brown has checked into rehab to deal with a reliance on alcohol. Good, encouraging news, right? Not so much, says Bobbi Kristina Brown. Brown’s 18-year old daughter, who skipped out on her dad’s recent wedding and is considering a name change , was asked about her father’s attempts to get clean and whether she’s proud of him for “rising above” his substance abuse issues. “Rise above’ is not the word you should use,” Bobbi told TMZ in response to the question. “Not at all.” Ouch. Brown checked into a facility this week, following a March arrest for DUI and years worth of constant drinking. Bobbi doesn’t think it will make a difference. Let’s hope he proves her wrong.

Jon Gosselin: Broke!

Once a successful reality TV star, Jon Gosselin’s fame and fortune have gone the way of his marriage, leaving him unable to even pay the bills. So says Jon himself, allegedly, to Star Magazine . “I can’t afford to pay rent and the domestic-relations staff say they will put me in jail unless I pay child support,” Jon, 35, is quoted as saying. “I am a single father who’s trying to make ends meet during a recession. What do I do – pay child support or rent? Obviously I need to support my kids. I could lose my house, though, and need my home to continue to have custody.” “I decided to take the high road and quit reality television and now look, I’m could end up in jail because I can’t afford to pay child support to Kate who has plenty of money,” the former star complained, laughably, as if TLC didn’t fire him. “I’m doing the best I can, but life is expensive with eight kids !” Hey, the Octomom porn is putting food on her kids’ table. Maybe Jon should grow a pair and show it in his own adult film? Okay, maybe not. In any event, holding down a job and making ends meet has been a difficult task for Jon, even if he and Kate Gosselin are on better terms. Speaking of which, Jon doesn’t support her new career path. “I think this is completely ridiculous! We have eight children and they need us, and she is putting reality TV and dating in front of the kids,” he says. Jon, who is now dating Liz Jannetta, adds that, “I know I have a lot to be thankful for, but Kate’s need to be famous is not one of them.” [Photo: WENN.com]

ChitChatter: Michael Jackson’s Nanny Speaks Out Against The Family Fighting, Paris Vs. Janet, And Gladys Knight’s 2 Pennies!

We have a feeling that the Jackson family drama is gonna get worse before it gets better… Michael Jackson’s Nanny Grace Rwaramba Speaks Out Against Family In-Fighting According to RadarOnline : Michael Jackson’s long time nanny, Grace Rwaramba, is speaking out about the ongoing Jackson family drama, telling RadarOnline.com exclusively that the recent turmoil is exactly what the late singer had tried so hard to protect his three children from while he was alive. Grace began working for Jackson in 1997, and continued to work on and off for the King of Pop for the next decade, including after he tragically died in 2009. In an exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com, Grace says, “Everyone knows that Michael went to great lengths to protect his children from the public eye. While the use of veils and masks was unconventional, it only highlights how important this issue was to him. He understood, probably better than anyone, that growing up as a public figure, especially in the entertainment industry can be disaster…The recent drama surrounding Michael’s mother, Katherine, the ongoing custody issues and now the public dispute between Paris and Janet is exactly what Michael wanted to protect his children from. These matters have been further complicated by Gladys Knight and others recent and well intentioned comments about Paris. I have great respect and admiration for Mrs. Knight. And while I agree with the spirit of her comments, attacking Paris in public is not the answer.” The nanny goes on to ask for the public’s mercy on Michael’s daughter, Paris. Rwaramba asks that the public be fair to Paris Jackson and “give her a chance to make and learn from her mistakes without demonizing her. She is a spirited, very expressive and dramatic young girl. The traits that made her the apple of her father’s eye are the same traits that she must learn to control as she matures into adulthood. Let’s be careful not to dim her spirit. It breaks my heart to think that Paris and her brothers could become the subject of endless criticism for simply being kids. Michael loved his children very much. He gave them tools that they will need to become good and decent individuals. I am confident that in time, Paris and her brothers will learn that their family loves and wants what’s best for them. Until then, please take her tweets with a grain of salt. No child should have 700,000 followers on Twitter or any other social media platform.” Rwaramba makes a good point. Paris Jackson will lead a life in the public eye, and without her father’s protection she’s probably going to learn how cold the world is as she makes mistakes. Hopefully she doesn’t end up like Maia Campbell. Sweet baby Jesus. Image via Instagram
