TIDBITS: Ziggy & Rita Marley Kick It With The Obamas+Usher's A Do-Gooder+LeToya Luckett's "Regret"

Jul 15 | by Natasha

The Rastafarians have hit the White House. Ziggy Marley, Rita Marley, and their fam all visited 1600 Pennsylvania recently and snapped some pics with the Obamas:

Loves it.

Yesterday Usher made an appearance at the opening ceremony of his Camp New Look. It's a summer program designed to give at-risk children arts education in Atlanta. Nice. And check out LeToya Luckett's new track "Regret" ft. Ludacris:

I'm loving this song. The Randomness: 1. This post has been updated with the Mariah Carey "Obsessed" video that was continuously yanked down from Youtube yesterday.

I' am always happy to see any new pictures from the first family, they are truly something to be proud of and aspire too! Love LeToya song! And Luda is always a lyrical master when he spits on the mic, love him. And good for Usher for doing something positive and giving back, he looks refresh and happy.

This is a beautiful thing!

This is a beautiful thing! Just imagine. Had there never been a Barack Obama the Marley's may have never seen the inside of the white house. I'm so proud. Even prouder to be a black woman. God bless the Obama's. Letoya you do it girl! I wish her the best of luck. It's time for her, Kelly and the others to get their shine.
