NEWSFLASH!? Those of you who have been constantly nagging Tameka Raymond about dropping Usher’s last name, finally got your wish.
It was just a few months ago that Usher revealed that he would hope his son’s mother would ‘depart’ from using his last name. (you know, the one she shares with his kids?) Usher stated in a Dish Nation interview:
She married me.? I?m going to marry again? (you know) and when I do, I don?t want to have a harem, so?
When I do, I just hope it will be a departure?
Soon after that interview, Usher tied the knot with his latest old lady lady love, so now, Tameka has complied to her exes very public request to return his family name.

Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas is looking for love in what is now the mainstream route. She’s hitting VH1 for a reality show. It’s been said that if you truly love something set it free, if it’s meant to be yours it’ll return to you. Well…maybe just maybe Usher will heed the call since he’s just about single now. Wouldn’t THAT be a great show!?? Especially since Chilli appears to be keeping the door open for her former flame! In a recent Essence interview, she admits that she’s leaving THAT in the lord’s hands. When asked if there were any chance of a reconciliation between she and Ursh, Chilli states:
I don?t know. You never know. Only the good Lord knows that. If it?s meant for us to stay apart, we will, and if it?s meant to be the other way, somehow in the future it may happen.
Sounds promising. As a single mom with responsibilties, Chilli has set a few ground rules for her new show, specificially none of that Flavor Flav kissing on the mouth stuff! She also states that her contestants will not all live in the same house and she’s not limiting herself to one race.
I’m open to all men and all Black women should be. You may miss out on the man of your dreams because you are trying to stick with a brother.
Chilli admits that her standards have been a bit extreme, but she’s willing to step back and let VH1 take the reigns.
I’m hard on guys, that’s why I said maybe I do need a little help from VH1. I also know I have avoided many werewolves being tough. As a celebrity and just a woman who takes care of herself, you have to be very careful. Guys talk more than we do. I can go on a lunch date, and the guy spins it to something else, and that includes celebrities. All of that turned me off from dating. Now I am at the point to open up again. It’s also important to be able to enjoy your own company and I love my space. I do hope to get married one day, and when I do?I still hope to enjoy being alone. Hopefully I will connect with somebody on this show. We already know ultimately who everyone wants me with (laughs).
Hmmmm? Who might that be Chilli?
I wonder if she kept the ring…
Now if VH1 can get Usher on the show, THAT my friends, would be a hit! All joking aside, if YOU are a single male interested in Chilli you may actually have a shot. VH1 is still casting for the show and you may actually be the man she’s looking for. Don’t let the thought of Usher scare you off. ((You can do it!))
