Jay tore down Philips Arena last night and told the crowd: “I’ve been looking forward to this date since they announced the tour. We’ve been in L.A., we’ve been in Houston, but Atlanta is one of those special dates tonight."

Usher Raymond uploaded a few Holiday pics to his IG account.  One of the cutest photos shows him giving his grandmother (whom he calls "Nanny") her Christmas gift.  Awww. He gave Nanny and his niece Star jewelry from Lorraine Schwartz. He said, "Thank you @lorraineschwartz @ofirajewelz. Made it moment."  Nice. Star, the daughter of Usher's brother James, smiled for the camera.    She opened presents with her cousins Naviyd and Usher IV. He said he was put to work building the fire.       Fab times with daddy.   In other news.... Looks like somebody is surprisingly retiring....at the age of 32. Nnamdi Asomugha, who married actress Kerry Washington earlier this year, will retire as a member of the Oakland Raiders after 11 years in the NFL.  The announcement was made at a news conference at team headquarters today.  He signed a $60 million 5-year contract two and a half years ago when he played with the Eagles.  They paid him $25 mill when they traded him to Oakland.  Apparently that $25 mill (with the added bonus of a superstar wife) is enough for him to chuck deuces to the game forever...   Watch video about the announcement here:   Photos via Usher's Instagram

EXCLUSIVE: Newly Married "Single Ladies 3" Star Denise Vasi Serves Up Advice For REAL LIFE Single Ladies (+ eBook News).... Posted: 27 Dec 2013 11:00 AM PST Denise Vasi is a newly married woman.  So in honor of season 3 of VH1's "Single Ladies" kicking off soon, the star dished up her own personal advice for those women still looking for The One...   Whether you watch "Single Ladies" for the fashion game, the drama, or to see women going through the same ish you have when trying to make a relationship work, star Denise Vasi has a little advice for you. The 30-year-old model/actress (who previously dated successful businessman Noah Tepperberg) dished to TheYBF.com about a month before her wedding to famed director Anthony Mandler, all about her character "Raquel".  And she even had some advice for the women who seem perfect on paper, but may be having the hardest time finding a good guy. She told us about what we can expect from Raquel in season 3 saying: "She has matured.... she is no longer trying to find happiness is all the wrong places.  She's content."   And the advice the self-proclaimed music lover has for all the real life single ladies?  Denise says you've got to open up...to different races, your surroundings, and more. "I have a few friends who have great jobs, great personalities but can't seem to find a good guy. I think that a lot of it has to do with your surroundings, and you have to be open to explore different things.  Like other races and just in general.  People are really comfortable with what they know. You continuously hang in the same crew, you have met everyone in that crew and the friends of the friends in that crew, so it is now time to step outside your comfort zone.  I also think that things happen when you least expect them... when you don't want to be married everyone asks you to marry them!" She continued:   "Guys don't like pressure and so many women are desperate to get married. That just makes them run. Sometimes you have to have a Samantha (from Sex And The City) mindset.  Also, you need to learn from your past experiences so you can be better for your next relationship."   Sage advice.   Season 3 Premieres Monday, January 6, 2014 at 9PM ET/PT.  Check out the extended first look HERE.   BONUS: In honor of season three, VH1 has launched an eBook series set between the finale of season two and the premiere of season three.
