Usher's new woman.
I know this is supposed to be my creative writing blog, but I have got to write about this. I think as fans we have an unrealistic view of the type of partners stars should have. Lets use Usher as an example. His first wife was a shocker. Every where I went people wanted to know how Usher could go from Chilli to Tameka Foster. By all accounts Tameka did not seem to be Usher material. Besides already having three children( correct me if I'm wrong). She was older and taller than him. People saw Tameka's strong jaw as masculine. It wasn't long before the tabloid's renamed her "Manteka". Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I felt Usher was in love. I know Usher slept with more conventionally attractive women. But since Tameka was his stylist, it's possible she was the first women he was around long enough to appreciate her on a deeper level. When Usher filed for divorce I heard cheers. "He's finally come to his senses" they said. Now Usher has been seen with another woman. This one is said to be as unattractive as his estranged wife. People are saying Usher has the "ugly eye." "Hold up" I said. What is the ugly eye? It was explained to me that if someone has the ugly eye, they are attracted to ugly people. My question is would we think Tameka was unattractive if Usher wasn't famous? Without all his money and fame Usher looks just like he could be my next door neighbor. Picture this: Usher Raymond and Tameka Raymond walking in the mall. Usher is not famous and he is walking with his arm around Tameka. Would you look at her, then look at him and think "What is that fine looking man doing with that dog?" I don't think so.
