Brown Sista

While standing in my neighborhood bodega waiting for my western omelette with cheese and listening to the radio, I heard Ed Lover and his morning crew on New York’s Power 105.1, announce that Tameka Foster had given birth last night. As you all know Tameka was with child when she and Usher married back in August and later on they announced that they would be having a boy. Congratulations to the happy new parents!

Usher and his new bride, Tameka Foster, will grace the November 2007 issue of Essence magazine and behind the scenes footage from their photo shoot has hit the net- and it does not show Tameka in a very good light. Tameka is shown having a diva attitude, demanding the room be cleared of everyone but the photographer and complaining about her wardrobe. There have always been rumors that Tameka is not the nicest person in the world and this clip will not do much to change the public’s image of her. Was Tameka simply pregnant and emotional, or was she showing the side of her we have all heard about but not seen until now? I’ll let you all be the judge.

It’s official- Tameka Foster and Usher Raymond are now man and wife. According to the Chicago-Sun Times, Usher married Tameka, his stylist and soon to be mother of his child, at his lawyer’s office with plans for a formal ceremony to be announced at a later date. We here at Brown Sista salute the happy couple, especially Tameka who endured months of brutal character assassination by the media and even her own family members. But love prevailed and Tameka ultimately got to walk away with what she wanted all along- her man.

With rumors swirling that her marriage and pregnancy were both poorly staged publicity stunts, Tameka Foster has stepped forward to talk to People magazine and set the record straight as to why her nuptials to Usher Raymond were cancelled just hours before they were due to walk down the aisle.

“No one knows why we canceled the wedding, but I can tell you that all of the reasons that everyone is speculating and writing about are completely untrue,” Foster told PEOPLE Monday, but she declined to reveal more about why the nuptials were called off.

Today’s random celebrity sightings post consists of some of my favorite brown sistas. From Janet Jackson to Melyssa Ford, we have Black Women from all walks of Hollywood life covered. First up however is Keyshia Cole who held her album release party last night. Keyshia is sporting a new shorter do that I really like and it reminds me quite a bit of Rihanna’s new shorter style. Hopefully both these ladies will usher in a less in more look for celebrity sistas when it come to their hair.

Tameka Foster, better known to world as Usher’s fiancé, sat down to talk to Essence Magazine about the innuendo, speculation and out right un truths that are often printed about her and her relationship with the much younger singer. Tameka pulls no punches and answers questions openly about her former husband, where her children are and if she really was the cause of Usher firing his mother as his manager.

You guys know how we do things around here. Every Friday we post a small collection of photos that crossed our desk earlier in the week but for one reason or another were not featured in any articles. This week we will start things off a little differently by taking a trip down memory lane. I’m sure you all recognize the beautiful couple in the pics below. It is none other than Usher and his then girlfriend, Rozanda Chili Thomas. They were such a cute couple and call me crazy- but doesn’t Usher’s new fiancé look like an older version of Chili?
