Usher Did Not Tip Strippers With Fake Money After All

April 13, 2021 / Posted by:

Obviously, when someone like Usher is accused of something so heinous as disrespecting a Las Vegas stripper he needs to respond. Not only is he doing a residency in the City of Sin and absolutely should not piss off the stripper community, but as a celebrity, being on the outs with strippers is like a Real Housewife being on the outs with plastic surgeons in her area. Social. Suicide. TMZ says Usher has defended his good name and said he absolutely did not pay strippers in fake “Ush-bucks.” He paid them real money as well as “Ush-bucks.” Glad that’s cleared up.

Usher’s Been Accused Of Giving Strippers Fake Bills With His Face On Them

April 12, 2021 / Posted by:

Everything I know about strippers I learned from The Sopranos, Hustlers, and the seminal Lindsay Lohan classic, I Know Who Killed Me. My knowledge is this: stripping is hard work, men are disgusting, and it’s all about the tips. So this past weekend, when Usher showered dancers with fake bills with his face on them. It was not a move that was well-received. Continue reading

Lots of Famous People, Like Usher And Taylor Swift, Are Calling For Juneteenth To Be A National Holiday

June 19, 2020 / Posted by:

Today is June 19th, aka Juneteenth, a holiday that calls for both celebration and sobering reflection, while examining the history (and ongoing history still being written) regarding slavery in America. My Canadian public school education failed to teach me that slavery wasn’t technically abolished until June 19th, 1865, when slaves in Texas were finally made aware of the Emancipation Proclamation two years earlier. Juneteenth has been observed since 1866, and was more widely recognized starting in the 1970s, but the conversation around Juneteenth is significantly louder this year, due to the ongoing activism surrounding Black Lives Matter and anti-police brutality protests. And according to some people, like Usher and Taylor Swift, it’s high time Juneteenth became an officially recognized national holiday in the United States.

Justin Bieber Admits He Has Benefited From Black Culture

June 8, 2020 / Posted by:

Justin Bieber’s Instagram page looks like a Black Lives Matter Bingo card at the moment which I have to chuckle at, but I’m not going to criticize. I would rather see a million pleas for the arrest of the police officers who killed Breonna Taylor than one single #blessed image of Justin’s marital bed. And to his credit, in his most recent post, Justin has taken the unusual step of acknowledging that he’s inspired by and has benefited from Black culture, probably sending The Kardashians into a white hot panic to get their lawyers to send him a cease and desist letter. Which is crazy because you’d think by this point in her legal education, Kim could handle a simple C&D herself.

FKA Twigs Wanted To Sing During The Prince Tribute At The Grammys, But They Didn’t Ask Her Ass

January 27, 2020 / Posted by:

Jehovah’s Sexiest Witness became the Afterworld’s Sexiest Resident in April 2016, and at the next Grammys in 2017, they paid tribute to him with a performance from Bruno Mars and The Time. And at last night’s Grammy Awards, they paid tribute to him again, and while I think every Grammy Awards should have a Prince tribute, I wondered why exactly they were doing one. Turns out, it was an informercial to promote the Grammys tribute concert to Prince that will record tomorrow and air on CBS later this year. Usher is a part of the Grammys tribute concert, so he did the tribute last night, and I give that entire dull glitter mess of a performance 5 out of 5 Prince side-eyes:

And that bland tribute mostly got 5 side-eyes due to Sheila E getting pushed to the back, and FKA Twigs being used as a glorified Usher back-up dancer. And she claims it wasn’t her choice to not sing.
