    Candid Fab: The Raymonds & Chris Brown Hit The Streets+Gabby Covers Vegas

    Usher and Tameka Raymond were spotted shopping it up in Beverly Hills this weekend:

    Anybody else forget just that quick that they had a baby Usher last year? Maybe it’s because nan a person has even seen said baby yet. Maybe they’re still holding out for those OK! millions.

    Chris Brown was spotted walking the streets of Stockholm, Sweden this weekend:

    Cute.

    And Gabby Union’s covering the new issue of Vegas magazine:

    Source: Vegasmagazine.com

    Fab. And she talks about how she steers clear of the Hollywood paparazzi by avoiding certain areas:

    “You don’t go on Robertson unless you’re having a bad day or you’ve lost a lot of weight,” says Union, revealing something of an industry secret. “[Or] I’ve had a crisis and I need to show that I’m happy and well adjusted. But a lot of psychologists are on Robertson, so some people can’t help it. My marriage counselor was on Robertson. ‘I’m here to show off my new boobs–there’s nothing wrong with my marriage.’ “



    Oh Gabby.

      Usher and Tomeka sorry Tameka make a nice couple. I don’t know why majority of people don’t feel the same; they both have odd faces and strange heads. In fact they are the perfect match I Wonder if she is also able to dance!
      That C.Brown´s skull tattoo is horrible.

      I have to agree with a couple of the others. Usher and his wife look tired of each other.
      -
      The pictures of them in Essence magazine not too long ago were gorgeous and sensual!

      Gabrielle Union? She’s not hot enough to worry about the paparazzi unless on a very, very slow day.
      -
      Union hasn’t had a “hot topic at the water cooler” role in years. So why would the paparazzi chase her to get a picture irrespective of the Hollywood area?

      Gabby pic are Fabulous…I really like how they didnt airbrush her to look white or really light skin like other people.
      Hey, dont be mad at Gabby for giving the skinny on Robertson….even just driving down Robertson you see shit loads of paparazzi…..I guess its a LA thang…….

      Gabby needs to stop. She knows the paps on Robertson are interested in her.
      They are looking for the big “money shot”(Britney having a breakdown is worth six figures); so unless Gabby is walking down Robertson naked they are interested in her

      Where is Usher’s baby. That is some strange stuff. If it looks anything like his daddy as a child, he should be a adorable. He is probably handsome. Because Tameka has some handsome features. She should make an okay boy. I still do not see what Usher see! But, if he is happy, that is all that matters. They look great together on these pics. With no make up she actually looks younger. She could spare to lose a couple more baby pounds. It is obivous he likes her for who she is and that is a great quality in a man! Go Usher!

      And Gabby should not be talking…it seems like she’s the one chasing after the paparazzi…

      Wow, what have Usher and Tameka done to you guys? I think they make a beautiful couple. How many of you have a constant grin on your face while out and about shopping? Well, that is unless you’re looking at shoes! They aren’t wearing scowls are they? Tameka is makeupless it seems and to me she is still beautiful. I say its a wonderful thing to see a brotha with a BLACK woman for a change! The fact that they keep their baby out of the limelight is a good thing. Please though, someone tell her to leave that hat alone!

      Boo to Gabrielle…everytime this chick is on this site or any other she’s up at somebody’s party or whatnot. If she were in more paparazzi shots she’d be more famous to the mainstream. Just sayin…

      Something tells me something is slightly off about Chris breezy…
      ___________________________________________________________________
      I still don’t agree with Ursh and that lady. Nothing to do with her skin color or anything but as I’ve always said something ain’t right about her. Time will tell and this marriage will be exposed for what it is.

      As usual, peps are taking Gab’s comments to the left. What she was saying is that you don’t go to certain places if you don’t want to be seen - which is very true. When you see a celeb in that particular area is because they want to be seen - for whatever reason. So when they act like they don’t like the attention, it’s a lie. I’m glad somebody spoke up about it.

      They got me wondering if that baby is not her ex hubby! Considering nobody has seen pictures. People love Usher, it is hard for me to believe Tameka would turn down millons of dollars to not have that baby in the magazines. (I’m sure somebody offered them something.) The way she was issuing reports and leaking shit at first. She might be hiding that baby for a reason. Usher might not know that baby is not his. I want to know what Mama Raymond is saying about this. I’m sure not all celebs take the money, but most of them accept the cash and give it to a charity.

      Meka is not cute. As a matter of fact she looks an old mother mess w/ lots o baggage. She looks used. Like she had 3 kids & a husband quickly divorced & abandoned them to quickly marry Usher and give him a seed. She looks snarled and crumpled and you cannot tell me that she does not have something on Usher. I know love is blind but Bitch Please!!!

      Gabby knows damn well that she could be on Robertson every day and not one papparazzi would blink and she would not be featured in any magazine about a rumored meltdown or baby bump…the usual crap.
      Now when she steps out on a red carpet looking fab that’s different, she is going to be photographed as she should be- but she is not an A list celebrity so she needs to stop with those comments.

      This has nothing to do with hating black love. She is a horror everyone knows it. You said it very clear if it were someone else it would rest good with people like “chilli” or Maybe if she was pretty probably but tHat is not the case. We hate her for it, you mad don’t read blogs.The simple fact is she is no one but Tameka the “Foster” every things in a name. Usher will see I hoped sooner but definitely later. Speak the truth never mind the other stuff.

      In my world, as beautiful as it is, it will always be about LOVE. And where I see it, I will support it. Especially black love, because dammit, our communtity needs more of it and needs to see more of it. Don’t understand the low-life haters. Just look at our communities marriage rates, the shit is low. We should really check ourselves. Go Tameka!! Write a book boo!! Sista’s definitely need some schooling on how to get that nig, to tie that nig down, and get that shit official in writing, papers please. Notice to all baby mammas, take note. You may not like the sista Queen Tameka Foster, but game has to recognize winners. And nay-sayers hate as you may ,the sista is a WINNER!! Cha-ching

      If old ass Tameka Foster with her 4 kids and not really the bizness body (lest we all forget those leaked photos from her Essence photo shoot) can snatch up a cute and talented famous millionaire — and the rest of us can’t — it’s a sad day in Nottingham. I think the sheer bewilderment of it all is what causes all the “hate” as some of you call it. She’s not young, she’s not necessarily attractive, she has tons o’ kids, and yet she’s the one this guy who could have his pick of the video-vixen-bodied young, childless, college graduate litter decided to wife up. We’re all just confused and the shock hasn’t worn off. So excuse our comments, it’s just taking some getting used to.

      Hmm I wonder why peeps hate on Usher and his wife. Is it because he has very “african” features (and perhaps the same can be said for his wife) and only artists/stars who look more caucasian in terms of their features are more acceptable to you, the black people of America?
      Michael Jackson has a nose similar in shape to UShers and he sure changed that shit up as did his sister. Are you people really that shallow that cannot help not accepting someone who doesn’t fit in the mould of what white people have been telling you is the ideal of beauty?
      I recall once speaking to a white woman who told me she liked usher’s music but couldn’t “deal with his face, especially his nose!” I recall responding that that was a very euro-centric view since Usher has a black nose i.e rather broad and if she couldn’t “deal with his face” it would appear she has some issues to sort out.
      I think Usher and his wife should be congratulated for having what seems to be a solid relationship in the glare of celebrity.
      More power and blessings to them!

      This has nothing to do with hating black love. She is a horror everyone knows it. You said it very clear if it were someone else it would rest good with people like “chilli” or Maybe if she was pretty probably but tHat is not the case. We hate her for it, you mad don’t read blogs.The simple fact is she is no one but Tameka the “Foster” every things in a name. Usher will see I hoped sooner but definitely later. Speak the truth never mind the other stuff.

      Please shut the hell up! On second thought don’t. Why is Mrs. Raymond “a horror/a no one” Is it because in your eyes she is not attractive, or maybe because you feel that Usher could have done better? How is she a horror? You stated that”everyone knows it” Oh really, I did not know that and I personally don’t know Usher or Tameka, do you know them personally? “Speak the truth never mind the other stuff” WTF???? now your contradicting your self, their isn’t an ounce of TRUTH in your i
