Usher Raymond and Sean “Diddy” Combs were spotted in L.A. (November 17) on the set of their video shoot for “Lookin’ for Love”.
Usher appears to be showing off his new bling to the hip-hop mogul as they stroll down the set of their new music video, with bodyguards in tow.
Ursh and his former mentor teamed up for “Lookin for Love,” which is produced by Usher?s younger brother, James aka JLack and is about two wealthy guys having fun in a club.
Isn’t Black love beautiful!
As far as relationships go, Diddy recently tweeted that he’s getting married on Valentine’s Day 2011, but retracted his statement moments later:
Word on the curb is that he may have actually popped the question to his girlfriend Cassie while they partied in Atlanta last week. Is it possible Diddy finally found the love he’s been lookin’ for? [cue violins]

As he serves his 11 month jail sentence for probation violations, Clifford “T.I.” Harris has written another letter to his fans… or better yet, his haters.
In his first letter from prison, written just days after he turned himself in, Tip addressed the skeptics who turned their backs on him as he faced another trying setback.
[READ: T.I. Wants You To Know… ]
This time, he reflects on his punishment and reveals how sick and tired he is of using that revolving door in the judicial system.? Tip also seems to have finally made a conscious decision to change his ways. Not for the fans. Not for his haters but for himself.
This experience is truly a pain I have never felt before and that’s saying a lot for a nigga who’s been down locked up as many times as I have. I see this as a real ass whoopin’. The kind you don’t just go back outside to play afterwards.
You take ya ass to bed and don’t come out of your room until it’s time to go to school. I don’ t know what effect this will have on my life moving forward but I’m certainly sick and mother f*cking tired of going to jail, juve, prison, the pen, correctional facilities or whatever else you want to call it.

Usher Raymond, photographed at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, with sons Naviyd (2), and Usher V (3), is featured in W Magazines Family Issue.
In the December 2010 issue, Usher speaks on the love he has for his two sons and how he realizes it far exceeds any love he can have for a woman:
?When you put the passion between a man and a woman up against having children, it doesn?t hold a candle. I?ve never known passion like what my children have helped me feel,? says divorced dad Usher Raymond IV, who shares custody of sons Usher V and Naviyd with ex-wife Tameka Foster.
Of course, there are more practical considerations. ?Mine was a little more of a rock star?s world before. When you have to childproof your house, everything changes?your furniture selection, your car selection,? he explains. ?You become a lot more conscious, or at least I did.?
Today the No. 1 hit in the House of Usher is the theme song to Thomas the Tank Engine. As for his own music, the R&B singer insists that the title of his most recent album, Raymond v. Raymond, refers not to his divorce but to his competing personas: the rock star and the family man. Both were partying hard on his 32nd birthday in October.
?I?m here sitting by the pool with my kids just enjoying the simple moments of life,? he told me from Los Angeles, where his kids had flown from their home in Atlanta to see him. ?And then later on tonight I?ll have a party, the kids will go to bed, and the other Raymond will come out.? (Source)

People are seriously feenin’ for an Andre’ 3000 return.
Dre, your fans and rap colleagues alike have all been patiently waiting for you to grace the mic and although your verse on the Deuces Remix was a pleasant surprise, it just wasn’t enough to feed our addiction.
[LISTEN: “Deuces” (Remix) ~ Chris Brown ft. T.I., Kanye, Andre 3000, Drake, Rick Ross & Fabolous]
Yes. It’s a fact that Dre’s vocals have been missed and his verse on the “Dueces” remix only makes us want more.
Shoot, we haven’t heard much about Andre’ since he was crowned the SPEED DEMON I75 last year. Dre’s mugshot even made us feel all warm, fuzzy and nostalgic…. but besides just seeing his cute lil face, a bunch his fellow rappers are literally begging for his return to the mic.
My friend Bem Joiner sent me a clip of guys like Bun B, Young Dro and DJ Drama all begging you (yes YOU Andr??Lauren Benjamin’!) to get back in the game.
