And in news about things we’d sooner go our entire lives without seeing…..Once clean-cut R&B superstar Usher — who saw a career resurgence with the release of his platinum-selling Raymond vs. Raymond disc last year — has found himself at the center of a sex tape scandal after an explicit skin flick starring the “Yeah!” hitmaker in the throes of passion with his stylist ex-wife surfaced on the Black Market last week.

How’s that for “OMG?!”

The Talking Heads at TMZ.com recently got their Hot Little Hands on the so-called “Usher Raymond- Tameka Foster Sex Tape” — which celebrity gossip allege is being hawked around town to the highest bidder.

“…We’ll keep this PG-13 and just say … the people in the video are both givers. The video and photos are clear — it’s Usher and Tameka,” the site wrote in a report that hit the Interwebs early Monday.

While both camps are staying mum, Word on the Curb has it that the explosive footage of Justin Bieber’s mentor with his pants down may have been among the $100,000 worth electronics and jewelry stolen out of Ursh’s personal vehicle as it sat in the parking lot of a popular Atlanta mall in Dec. 2009.

That was just a few months after The Raymonds called time on their volatile love affair for good. The exes, who are the parents of two sons, met when the then-twentysomething singing star was climbing the charts and the decade-older Tameka was a married mother of three. An affair ultimately led to wedding bells, but the union would be seeped in controversy almost from the start. Tameka, an abrasive celebrity stylist, was accused of driving a wedge between Usher, his fans, and even his mother. Their problems were compounded when Foster nearly died during a botched plastic surgery procedure in Brazil.

Usher is now seeing record executive Grace Miguel. Another cougar.

Usher’s former cougar filled into full rant mode on Twitter Monday. Celebrity stylist Tameka Foster — arguably one of Black Hollywood’s Most Hated Women — is livid at the E! Network over their weekend True Hollywood Story about her former husband, R&B star Usher.

Apparently, the mother of five doesn’t like being portrayed as an insecure psycho. Who knew?

Fulton County Superior Court spokeswoman Jada Hudspeth says a final decree in the divorce case was issued Wednesday.

Usher, whose real name is Usher Raymond IV, filed for divorce from Tameka Raymond on June 12, claiming there was “no reasonable hope of reconciliation” and the marriage was “irretrievably broken.”

The couple married in August 2007 and have two young sons, Usher Raymond V and Naviyd Ely Raymond.

In case you haven’t heard, Usher claims Tameka was turned into a Melrose Place superbitch one night last August and showed up at his mama’s house, and banging on the door late night demanding her children. The next day, Usher woke to find his SUV “allegedly” (Wink, Wink) keyed by the ex, Tamkea Raymond. Police found no evidence to support Usher’s claim.

When Usher’s “Papers” dropped earlier this week, we knew it was only a matter of time before the soon-to-be former Mrs. Raymond said her peace — and we were right. On Thursday, Tameka Foster hit Global Grind to share her views on Usher’s very public diss.

Here’s an excerpt:

The mirrors have definitely become smoky. So much in fact that it makes it hard for one to decipher reality from the facade. Is it Live or Memorex? Even the public should recognize the #FF (fame fanatics) who go to such great lengths to garner attention ranging from publicity ploys, outlandish stage outfits, sex tapes, head shaving, public grand standing, picture leaks and throwing tantrums. From vintage concepts of dating shows in hopes of finding a soul mate (huh? #wheredotheydothatat) to trying to hit Billboard Charts by any means necessary. Surely, the fans know better than to think what flows from “the pen” of any writer embodies the details of another human’s deepest and true desires. Sadly, men singing about love, politics, marriage, children or anything genuine and benevolent equates to album sales flop, mundane chatter and waning popularity. It takes a song about disparaging all the aforementioned just to get accolades and spins on the radio. Unlike a mathematical equation the negative induces the positive. The need to placate fans puts artists at their mercy, leading to maniacal decisions. But I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. I digress….

Aisha Curry, who wrote the book Pretty For a Black Girl several years ago, is crestfallen and accuses Foster of intentionally lifting passages of her writing and passing them off as her own.

If this is true, Tameka fails at life.

“My heart sank into my stomach. All the hard work, all the sleepless nights I had endured was playing back in my head as I read this article written by a woman I didn’t even know,” Curry told Black Voices’ BV Buzz Column on Thursday. “Why did I feel so connected to this article? Suddenly, it came to me. It was my work! It was my work, my voice, but in her words. I was frozen. Tears began rolling down my face as I read line after line after line. I couldn’t believe it. The idea that someone could gain notoriety from an issue that I first brought to the forefront is mindboggling. People were praising her for tackling an issue that had never been exposed. Hello?!? I wrote the book on it and started it years ago. The only difference between her article and my book is she used ‘dark-skinned’ and I used ‘Black.’”

Here are some excerpts from Tameka’s interview with LaShonda:

Q: Sorry to change the topic, but there is a strong rumor that you threatened violence against a specific Atlanta based blogger due to she was stating multiple unconfirmed details regarding your divorce. Would you like to address this?

A: The rumor is actually quite boring, juvenile, yet hilarious. Ironically, I never knew of her or her blog until an associate alerted me about her and her erroneous remarks. I think the case with SO many bloggers is that there are good ones and there are those that are negative. When did they become a credible source on my life? I believe some of their blogs are actually erected to fulfill a certain void or insecurity within the writer. Deplorably, most don’t bother to “fact” check, they just sensationalize, repeat rumors or make them up in hopes of more hits and the possibilities from potential advertisers, I’ve learned. Those with malicious agendas don’t want the truth anyway. However, for the record- Be clear, I don’t do very much anonymously nor do I make threats, I’m a grown woman and there’s no need for me to make silly threats. Especially to the likes of disgruntled “Mean Girl” types hiding behind keyboards. Goodness, where do they find the time? In other words I did NOT threaten this Atlanta based blogger.

Q: Being in the spotlight is never easy. And the paparazzi have definitely gone after you regarding your high profile relationship. In one incident, I recall an unflattering picture from a photo shoot that circulated the blogs for quite some time. This one picture lead many people to believe that you developed a complex about your personal appearance and sought cosmetic surgery in Brazil because of that. Is this true?

A: Yes, there is an unauthorized altered photo that was taken with the intent of being a head shot (ie; to be cropped at the chest), it was not styled at all and shot at the end of a shoot. Unfortunately, it got into the wrong hands and a little Photoshop work is done and ‘voila’ you have a bad and funny shot of someone’s wife. A real knee-slapper. As far as my experience in Brazil, I NEVER had any cosmetic surgery done at all. I was to undergo a standard 30-40 min procedure and I had an adverse reaction to the anesthesia, nothing was ever started or happened. Never was there a planned ‘tummy tuck’ as reported. I have had nothing done aside from being birthed from parents blessed with awesome health and good genetics. I love me/ my body yet for a brief moment I got a little caught up in the Worldly perception of beauty and made an impromptu, unwise decision that I learned a valuable lesson from, I was only two months post delivery. I thank God for all that he has blessed me with. There are no complexes, no shortcuts and to stay focused is the answer.

Q: So, you never went into cardiac arrest as stated by the media outlets?

A: Yes I did, but it was due to an adverse reaction to the anesthesia.

A $80 million fortune is up for grabs in the pending divorce between R&B crooner Usher, 30, and his estranged wife, Tameka, and The National Enquirer claims the Grammy-winning star is hoping to tip the scale in his favor by questioning whether he’s really the father of Tameka’s 6-month-old son, Naviyd.

According to Enquirer spies, although Usher loves the couple’s sons — Naviyd and 2-year-old Usher IV, he has questioned paternity from the moment Tameka — who has three sons from a previous marriage — announced her fifth pregnancy.

“The first thing Usher said was, ‘How did that happen?’ — because he was gone a lot, and their sex life was very, very limited,” a friend of the star reveals. “He’s determined to get truthful answers.”

When Naviyd was born last December, Usher and Tameka, 38, were already separated. The “Confessions” star became concerned that Tameka had been unfaithful to him after friends confessed that the former celebrity stylist had “got with another man” in the early stages of her rough patch with Usher.

It is a claim Tameka vehemently denies. In fact, the soon-to-be two-time divorcee insists her younger hubby is the father of her infant son and she’s ready to take the star to the cleaners for even suggesting otherwise.

“She says that although they weren’t spending that much time together, they did get together for one night of passion. And that’s when she got pregnant,” the snitch whispers, adding that Tameka is “going to fight for what she thinks she should have.”

“She’s frightened to death she’ll have to go back to a life of poverty. It’s going to be a nasty, NASTY divorce.”

Tameka Foster Raymond, the soon-to-be former wife of R&B star Usher, committed a major Twitter snafu last week that has unveiled her true feeling about her divorce attorney, Randall M. Kessler.

“On Wednesday, Foster performed a notorious twitter snafu when she inadvertently posted a message to Star Jones on her public page instead of sending it as a private direct message,” celebrity snitch Jawn Murray of Black Voices’ BV Buzz column wrote last week.

“@starjonesesq my lawyer= horrible. Need the name/number of a good one in Atlanta,” Tameka wrote in a public Tweet to the legal eagle turned View co-host.

Realizing her mistake, the 38-year-old, who has two toddler sons with Usher, immediately posted a second Tweet asking: “Please delete this…it was a DM mistake. Not for ppl to see. I’m sorry.”
