Usher Hurt At NJ Concert, Postpones Next Tour Date!

Posted: 11 Dec 2010 12:40 PM PST

Folks in Norfolk, VA may be pissy tonight.  Usher got hurt at his New Jersey concert last night, and now has to postpone tonight's NJ date.  We've got AEG's statement and when he'll return when you read on...

 

Usher's been on tour with Trey Songz and Miguel for the OMG Tour for weeks now.  But last night Ursh hurt himself in some non-serious way that has yet to be revealed and he's not returning to the tour circuit until his NYC dates next week.  He just Tweeted a link to his site with this statement:

AEG Live regrets to announce that today's scheduled appearance by Usher at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia, has to be postponed due to a physical injury suffered last night in a performance at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The attending physician has recommended that Mr. Raymond take the next 2 days to recuperate and heal. The injury is not serious and Mr. Raymond is scheduled to perform Monday night in New York City at the first of two sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden. Usher's paramount concern is not to disappoint his fans in Norfolk and the surrounding areas, who so eagerly awaited this critically acclaimed concert. An announcement will be made early next week to give the ticketholders the option to get a full refund of their tickets or to hold their tickets which will be honored at a re-scheduled date in the near future. 

Get well soon Ursh!

 

BONUS: His son Naviyd turned 2 yesterday.  How cute!

Willow Ditches School to Further Her Career?

Posted: 11 Dec 2010 11:28 AM PST

Willow Smith has been so busy hitting the  airwaves, flying around the world, and doing interviews that attending school has been put on the backburner... for now. The pint sized sensation whose Billboard hit "Whip My Hair" gained her popularity, admits that, although she is living out her dream, she is falling behind in school. 

 

At the ripe age of ten years old,  shouldn't her education be her top priority? Read on to find out what she says about school and how it plays a role in her newfound stardom...

The outspoken ten year old, who will be touring with Justin Bieber on his tour in Europe in March 2011 says:

“I never really get to go to school because I am always on tour, or with my father.There is a tutor most of the time, but usually I am working so I never get to do the lessons. The worst thing about maths is all the kids are ahead of me because they go to school.”

 

Willow described how she ended up in the music industry at such a young age:

I was four years old when I recorded a song with daddy and only said a couple of words, and I thought, ‘This is cool.’ It wasn’t supposed to be in the song but he wrote me something at the last minute. I would go with my mom on her tour and look at her and love what she did. I thought, ‘Maybe I should do that.’ So I did. I’m going to make songs to inspire people.”

Well, at least she is honest about falling behind in her school work. She is definitely lucky to live out her dreams and do something most people only dream about...BUT she is still a child. Is she too young to live out her Hollwood dreams? And at what costs?  Thoughts?

Chris Brown's mystery girl he was spotted on he beach in Miami with yesterday is an aspiring model/LA party girl named Karrueche "Kae" Tran.  She runs in the same circles as Vanessa Simmons.

 

We've got pics and deets when you read on...

 

Chris is following her on Twitter, and she made her own Twitter page private this afternoon after the pics of her and Breezy surfaced.

She describes herself as "when Vietnamese meets the hood" and seems obsessed with Asian food according to her blog.

Not sure how long they've been dating, but something about her reminds me of his last model chick Jasmine Sanders a bit. Anywho, seems like she wasn't expecting to be outed with Chris.  But oh wells.  We'll see how long this one lasts...
