Usher took the stand yesterday in the custody trial brought on by ex-wife Tameka Foster – who has accused the singer of drug use and demanded the use of his mansion – and broke down in tears. Usher quoted his ex as threatening: “I’m gonna kick your ass. Bitch get out of the car. How dare you bring this woman into my subdivision in my house?” and added: “She continued to spit. At this point she pulled the door open, tried to swing at her.” Foster herself has admitted under oath that she told Usher “I will f-ck you up,” while Usher said here Tameka hit him and threw a plate of food at his car while he and his unnamed girlfriend drove away. Later in his testimony, meanwhile, Usher responded to photos of him partying in Europe and allegations by Foster’s attorney that he’s an unfit parent by breaking down in tears. TMZ sources say Usher admitted to marijuana use, while an objection was made to the topic of ecstasy – and the artist didn’t give a clear response to whether he had ever been with his children while under the influence. The custody trial continues today.
Ray J was almost physically removed from the Billboard Music Awards last night after an angry confrontation with Whitney Houston’s family members. Pat Houston, Whitney’s sister-in-law/manager, was seated next to Ray J, the person Pat believes was a very bad influence on the late music legend. Minutes before a tribute to Whitney, in which Jordin Sparks sang and Bobbi Kristina Brown accepted an award, Pat asked her security to nix Ray J. After Whitney’s ex-BF refused to budge, Pat’s security summoned hotel security, along with several uniformed officers to physically remove Ray . Just before it got ugly, security warned Pat that things would likely get physical and it would almost be caught on video, just as Whitney was to be honored. Sources say Pat then grudgingly recanted and Ray J stayed. Later, Ray reportedly complained to friends about the incident, saying “Pat ruined what was a great opportunity to honor the woman who I loved.” A rep for the Houston family later admitted they did ask Ray J to be moved from his seat because Billboard told them they needed that particular seat. Ray J had a ticket with the proper seat number, so he refused to budge, and security was called, but the Houstons deny any lingering feud with Ray.

Show also pays tribute to late legends Adam Yauch and Donna Summer. By Jocelyn Vena Jordin Sparks performs “I Will Always Love You” at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday Photo: Ethan Miller/ Getty Images While the Billboard Music Awards were full of upbeat moments, thanks to highly charged performances from Justin Bieber , Katy Perry and more chart-toppers, the show also was somber at times, paying tribute to some of the music industry’s brightest stars who died in the months before Sunday’s (May 20) broadcast. While Whitney Houston had the glitziest of the tributes, other late legends from all musical genres also mourned at the show. Right before the broadcast, the tragic news of Bee Gee Robin Gibb’s death broke. The pop star died at the age of 62 after a lengthy battle with cancer. While his tribute was short, it was also very sweet, with “Modern Family” star and host Julie Bowen saying, “His voice and the music of the Bee Gees will live on forever.” Just two days before Gibb passed, the Queen of Disco, Houston’s untimely death in February , comedian Whoopi Goldberg said in her introduction, “I adored Whitney Houston. What all performers want and need and should get is love, and many of us here loved Whitney, and even if you’re one of those who didn’t show the love to Whitney, now is your chance, because tonight, that’s what we’re doing: We’re going to be giving Whitney the greatest love of all.” Then, John Legend sat at his piano to perform Houston emotional, uplifting ballad, “Greatest Love of All.” Jordin Sparks — Houston’s co-star in her final film, “Sparkle” — handled Houston’s legend-making “I Will Always Love You.” Dressed in a flowing blue and black gown, the singer belted out the track, while Whitney’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, sat in the audience crying. As the song wrapped, Whitney’s sister-in-law Pat Houston and daughter accepted the Millennium Award in her honor. “This is truly an honor. We thank you, Billboard ; we thank you, Whoopi, Jordin; we love you, John. But tonight, the one person that should be accepting this award is the one person that Whitney loved most.” “I just really want to say thank you to everyone who supported us through it all,” Bobbi Kristina added. “Thank you so much for showing that much love, ’cause she deserved it. There will never be another one, ever. I thank you so much.” The outpouring of love and emotion didn’t end there. Adam Yauch, MCA from the Beastie Boys , who died May 4 from his own battle with cancer , also was remembered. Top New Artist winner Wiz Khalifa said during his acceptance speech that the Beasties took hip-hop to new levels. “I just want to thank the Beastie Boys, and we will never forget MCA.” Later on, Cee Lo Green and Goodie Mobb may have been there to perform their own track, “Fight to Win,” but afterward, Cee Lo told the room to get their asses up for their own spirited homage to MCA with “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party).” Share your condolences for the four late musical legends in the comments below.

Show also features tributes to Whitney Houston, Donna Summer, MCA and Robin Gibb. By Gil Kaufman Justin Bieber performs at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday Photo: Ethan Miller/ Getty Images Sunday night’s (May 20) Billboard Music Awards were a bittersweet affair, balancing the promise of decades of entertainment from a new generation of record-smashing young artists like Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift with fond memories of a number of recently departed musical icons. In a three-hour show heavy on performances, chart staples LMFAO helped kicked the show off with a typically hyped performance of their inescapable party anthems that featured a cabbage-patching teddy bear and zebra and more animal prints than a Flintstones family reunion. Justin Bieber was the night’s first winner, taking the Top Social Artist award for his huge online presence. The singer swaggered up to the stage and, in an uncharacteristically emotional moment, said, “I just want to say how much of a blessing it’s been … the past three or four years, growing up in front of everybody. … I want to thank all my fans, because the Internet is where I got my start, and all my fans have helped me get to this position.” Co-host Julie Bowen took a moment out of the program early on to pay tribute to late Bee Gees member Robin Gibb , who died earlier in the day Sunday after a long battle with cancer. The night also featured a touching tribute to recently passed disco queen Donna Summer by Natasha Bedingfield and a segment devoted to music legend Whitney Houston with a medley of her indelible hits performed by John Legend and Jordin Sparks. Daughter Bobbi Kristina accepted the Billboard Millennium Award on behalf of her late mother. “I just really want to say thank you to everyone who supported us through it all,” she said. “Not just when it was good, but when it was bad too … thank you so much for showing that much love, because she deserved it.” Katy Perry was handed the Spotlight Award for tying the record set by Michael Jackson of five #1 hits from the same album, for her handful of smashes from Teenage Dream. Dressed in a floor-length sparkling silver gown, her hair a muted dark purple, Perry said she was “incredibly honored” to be in the same category as someone like Jackson. “Most of all, of course, I always say that the people have the power, so I want to say thank you to the glittering, gorgeous community of fans out there,” she added to wild applause, while finding a spare few seconds to plug her upcoming 3-D concert film, “Part of Me.” Oh, and she said she couldn’t wait to do shots later that night with her 91-year-old granny, who was in the audience. The ladies had a great night, as Taylor Swift was honored with the Billboard Woman of the Year award, acknowledging her stadium full of impressive credits, including a place as the only woman in music history to score three #1 albums in a row, each of which has sold more than 5 million copies. Swift, 22, dressed in a flowing red evening gown and ever gracious, thanked her legions of fans, saying, “I just love you so much, I’m just so humbled and honored by this.” As Miley Cyrus noted, you’re only new to the game once, so it was fitting that red-hot rapper Wiz Khalifa best the competition for the Top New Artist trophy. “I’m up here shakin’, man,” the rapper admitted as he thanked his whole crew and label family, as well as his “beautiful fianc
Texas Woman Kills Baby Daddy-Live In Boyfriend Over Cheap Mother’s Day Gift What a dumb b_tch: A woman stabbed the father of her children several times on Sunday evening when he gave her a cheap mother’s day present that she did not like, according to police. Paige Parkerson, 20, from Jefferson County, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of her live-in boyfriend Clifton JR Barkin, 22. Police were called to the house by his mother Evetta Wright, shortly after she got a phone call from Parkerson allegedly confessing to the crime. She told the Houston Chronicle: ‘Paige told me she killed JR, that he was dead.’ Mrs Wright had just dropped her son off at the house at 11.30pm on Sunday and that was after taking him to Wal-Mart to buy flowers and a Mother’s Day card for Paige. Barkin, 22, was stabbed several times and died just after midnight in the backyard of his yellow rental house. Mrs Wright said she believes Parkerson expected a more expensive gift, such as jewelry.

After Monday left Katherine Jenkins in a world of hurt – physically and mentally – many assumed this Dancing With the Stars results show would be her last. Not the case! She needed both a doctor’s attention and Mark Ballas’ reassurances following her misstep and injury, but Jenkins survived despite her last-place finish. That sounds worse than it was – the judges barely criticized her, and her last-place score was just three points out of the lead – but it was still a surprise. “It’s something I’ll just power through,” the Welsh opera singer said of her back injury. “And actually, jumping up and down now I think I hit it again.” “I was so excited I just forgot about it.” Those celebration injuries can be rough. Who will join her to vie for the title? And which frontrunner was sent home with a disappointing fourth-place finish? Find out after the jump … Joining Jenkins in the finals will be William Levy, whose sexy looks and smooth moves have him winning votes in his sleep, along with NFL star Donald Driver. That means Maria Menounos, despite a first-place score of 59 (!) and despite three-time winner Derek Hough as a partner, will be watching from the sidelines. “I learned so many things,” the Extra host said afterward, exiting with the class you’d expect. “I learned how strong I was. I learned to persevere.” “It’s been an amazing season,” Derek added. “And I’ve loved, loved dancing with this woman… She’s not just a champion of dancing, but a champion of life.” But it’s Donald, William and Katherine who will be free-styling for the Mirror Ball next week! Did Maria deserve to go? And who do you think will win it all? Vote in our dueling Dancing With the Stars surveys below: Did Maria deserve to go? Who will win?
Wow at them spraying Lysol on the kids for “dirty dancing”… Two parent chaperones at a Colorado high school prom sprayed Lysol on students engaged in “dirty dancing” and called several teenage girls “sluts and whores” for making it appear “they were advertising butt sex,” according to cops. The bizarre incident last month at the Manitou Springs High School resulted in harassment charges being filed against Jennifer Farmer and Hannah Rockey, both 42-year-old mothers who allegedly dispersed the disinfectant in a bid to pry apart underage revelers. Officer Scott Stone, who was working a security detail at the prom, told investigators that he had spoken with Farmer and Rockey after arriving at the dance around 8 PM. He recalled that the chaperones–who were dressed in combat boots, military fatigues, and military undershirt–noted that “some of the kids were becoming disruptive and were being explicit while dancing.” Farmer, a former school board member, reported that “she had ways to deter the behavior,” recalled Stone, who added that the woman noted she “would use Lysol spray, flashlight, or another unknown object” to deter students “from certain styles of dancing.” Both chaperones told the cop that bumping and grinding was “filthy” and “similar to what you would see on MTV.” After Stone agreed that some dancing could get inappropriate, the women remarked that students “are dancing like they are having sex with clothes on.” The chaperones, Stone added, then expressed concerns that the dance made the girls look “trashy, dirty, and whorish.” With that, Stone ended his conversation with the chaperones and walked around the dance. As for the spraying, the teenager reported that “Hannah Rockey then proceeded to spray Lysol at them, which got on their clothing, mouth, and eyes. The spray caused the students to cough and leave the area.” After hearing the girl’s account, a cop “obtained several witness statements” supporting the allegations against Farmer and Rockey. A school administrator told police that he had received reports from students that the chaperones had kicked several students out of the prom for improper dancing, and that both women were “spraying students with Lysol disinfectant who were dancing, and calling the girls ‘whores’ and ‘sluts.’” The administrator told cops that he then spoke with Farmer and Rockey, who both agreed to leave the prom. Farmer and Rockey were later cited for harassment, though the alleged spraying did not figure in the criminal counts. The chaperones “directed obscene language to another in a public place,” according to criminal complaints. Specifically, the prom chaperones were charged for calling some of the underage female dancers “whores” and “sluts.” The chaperones have denied the Lysol spraying. Farmer is scheduled to appear June 29 in El Paso County Court to answer the charge, while Rockey is due in court on July 10. We know kids can get out of pocket these days with their little nasty shenanigans, but spraying Lysol and rocking combat boots and military get ups to the school dance sounds a bit extreme!

I guess now that Britney Spears is officially going to be a judge on the The X-Factor , I don’t really know what qualifies her to judge others but what do I know, we’re going to be seeing a whole lot more of her. I guess I’m alright with that, she seems to have gotten herself together and is looking pretty good. Here she is giving us a look at some quality cleavage in her tight little dress. I bet an on-air breakdown would do wonders for the ratings.
I haven’t had my sweet sweet nobody, Sophie Turner , on the site in a long time. I almost forgot just how perfect she is, aside from being unemployed of course. Here she is looking amazing for a night out on the town with the girls. What I wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall in that limousine. Can flies masturbate? Anyhow, the woman knows hot to fill out a really tight dress, this is exactly what the dude who designed this outfit had in mind. I have a very special place in my pants heart for this beauty.
