‘Tis the season. It’s getting hot and several celebs are getting rid of that extra baggage just in time for summer. Usher Raymond #4 and #5 were spotted on the beach in Malibu a few days ago minus Mommy Tameka, who was still here in the “A”…chillin. Am I the only one who noticed that Mr. Raymond hasn’t been rocking his signature custom designed wedding band? Hmmmm? *scratching head* Could there be trouble in paradise? Sources say Usher and Tameka have been living separate lives for quite some time now and it’s possible that he’s been spending daddy time with lil Cinco in preparation for joint custody arrangements. But you ain’t heard that from me…

Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas has landed an endorsement deal with Coco-Cola products for Dasani water. The former TLC member has also made it a family affair and has included her 11 year old son, Tron in the deal:

It means so much to me to be in the DASANI campaign because I drink DASANI water all the time. So to get a phone call to represent DASANI water is amazing. To drink water as much as I do and to be a part of that and campaign for it…I just felt like it was a good fit; and to find out I can work with my son…he was so excited and I was so excited! It’s just been amazing! The chance to represent the brand I love and have fun working with my son is a thrill. I can’t ask for anything more than that.

Chilli will also be participating in DASANI’s Ultimate Style and Beauty Experience where one lucky mom can enter to receive a chance to win a 4-day/3-night all expenses paid trip to Atlanta for them and a friend, where they each will receive VIP treatment with a spa day, photoshoot and an opportunity to meet and hang out with Chilli.
