Usher’s stepson, Kyle Glover, has been declared brain dead after a Jet Ski accident left him in critical condition.
Glover, 11, has had no brain activity since being admitted to the hospital, and is currently on life support. He sustained an injury to the head after being hit by a Jet Ski while in Lake Lanier, Saturday (July 7). The youngster was riding in an inner tube leading up to the accident, and was transported to a local hospital, where his mother, Tameka Foster Raymond, flew to be with him.
A representative for the Department of Natural Resources in Atlanta, confirmed that they are investigating the incident, to determine the speed of the water ski leading up to the impact. Depending on their findings, the DNR will give a recommendation to the district attorney, who will decide if criminal charges should be filed.
Usher and his ex-wife have been engaged in a very public custody battle, but the former couple put their difference aside in the wake of the accident. The 32-year-old chartered a plane for Foster Raymond, so that she could fly in from out-of-town to be with her son.

In an unbelievably dangerous statement, Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta actor, Lil’ Scrappy, said that he was glad that Frank Ocean admitted his bi-sexuality, so “all the real women that love to mess with real men, straight men, we can keep the AIDS situation down, you feel me?”
Scrappy went even further with his opinion, saying that “[homosexuality] is a doorway to AIDS, scientifically.”
There are several reasons that this is an exceptionally uninformed “scientific” statement. Though homosexual men are at higher risk for contracting HIV, the virus which can lead to AIDS, the primary cause of its transmission is unprotected sex — gay, straight, bi or try anything risky sex. Whether a man is “in the closet” gay or not, if protection is used then the woman is more protected with him than with a straight man who refuses to wear protection.
Responsible sex is the key to reduced cases of HIV/AIDS, not homophobic scare tactics.

Only one month ago, the former “That’s So Raven” star Orlando Brown was cuffed by the LAPD for an outstanding 2011 DUI arrest warrant. Now police investigators are looking for Brown again, because he skipped a court date on Friday that was connected to the ongoing DUI case.
Brown was also arrested last year on a DUI charge. As part of a plea deal, he was ordered at the time to enroll in an alcohol education course but failed to do so, which was a direct violation of the court mandated agreement. Consequently, he was cuffed again in May. In addition to jail time, the young man had to dole out $1,908.00 in fines.
Brown, who was then ordered to prove his enrollment in the class to a judge on Friday, reportedly didn’t bother to show up, so yet another arrest warrant was issued on the seemingly never-ending DUI case.
The 25-year-old former Disney star portrayed the character of “Eddie Thomas” on the wildly popular hit show “That’s So Raven,” where he co-starred with actress, Raven-Symoné. The young actor, who also raps, has not had an acting gig since he left the sitcom in 2007.

Remember that crazy looking guy that impersonated being Sean “Diddy” Combs’ cousin well enough to convince authorities that he was legitimately a guest at the rap mogul’s house? He’s been sentenced to time served.
Quamine Taylor, who squatted in Diddy’s East Hampton crib back in April, was sentenced to time served. Taylor has been in jail since being arrested in April because he was unable to make the $2,000 bail. But the kicker of this story is the level of violation the deranged home invader took part in while in the Bad Boy CEO’s crib.
“I brought a cheesesteak, a cheesecake, a bucket of fried chicken — which I ate at the house — and drank a ‘dollar’ bottle of Hennessy and four cans of Pepsi,” Quamine Taylor told prosecutors at his sentencing.
He even slathered Diddy’s Frank’s Red Hot sauce on his grub, and drank a bottle of Hypnotiq, a vodka liqueur, he said, adding, “After I ate, I went upstairs and went to sleep.”
He also smoked three of Diddy’s Dutch Masters cigars and drank a can of orange soda.
Then he freshened up — using Diddy’s soap and splashing on his aftershave.

The woman at the center, figuratively, of the Drake versus Chris Brown bottle throwing debacle, Rihanna, is on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar. For those that care, this is the same story where she mentioned her busy schedule leading to a loss in cake-age. “I went way too far. I prefer myself a bit chunkier,” she said. “I want my old butt back!”
The Bajan Pop star is suing her old accountants for mismanaging her loot and allegedly causing her to lose millions of dollars during 2010’s Last Girl On Earth tour. Filed under her real name, Robyn Fenty, the lawsuit accuses the accounting firm of “gross mismanagement” and “exorbitant and excessive” commissions.

Rising R&B star Frank Ocean has officially come out of the closet. The singer posted a statement about his sexuality on his Tumblr page, clearing up rumors that have been circulating since his new album was previewed for music critics. Ocean talks about falling in love with a man and the profound effect it had on him.
Ocean’s revelation is especially compelling considering the fact that the 24-year-old crooner has long been affiliated with the alternative hip-hop collective, Odd Future, a controversial group which has been routinely criticized for blatantly homophobic lyrical content.
Still, that group’s frontman, Tyler the Creator, was nothing but supportive when the news of Ocean’s statement broke.

A court ordered DNA test has proved that Rick Ross did not father a secret love child three years ago.
A Georgia woman named Tyrisha Childers, who is allegedly broke, filed a paternity suit against the “So Sophisticated” rapper last year, seeking child support from the Maybach Music Group honcho. Ross denied having ever even slept with the woman and volunteered to take the paternity test clear his name.
With the results now in (these is 0% chance the Bawse is the baby daddy), Childers has since dismissed her case.
