Looks like Usher will be the center of attention in his next video.

The shoot for “Little Freak” featuring Nicki Minaj just went down according to Christy Gamble, who appeared in “Drumline” and was once a professional dancer for the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons Cheerleaders.

One of her latest Twitter posts mentions that Ciara was also present at the shoot, and since the song (hear it below) is about Usher engaging a menage a trois, could it be that the two ladies will be playing the participating roles?

If you haven’t heard the song yet, hear it below:

Don’t be shy, I’m just talkin’ to you girl / Aye ma, yo, where your man at / I know you got that / cause you too fine to be single out here / Girl, he at home / but he done fu**ed up / I swooped his girl up / and what I’m about do to you / he’ll feel I did him wrong / Cause I’m about to have a menage with his lady / and some freaks at the bar / who like fu**in with a star

‘The Blind Side’ may have earned several Academy Award nominations and a Best Actress win for Sandra Bullock this past weekend, but Vanessa Williams is clearly no fan of the movie. Williams said on ‘The View’ that the film, which depicts a homeless African-American youngster who is adopted by an affluent white family, does little to improve race relations.

Williams argued that film only reinforces the notion that African-Americans need whites in order to succeed.

L.A. Reid was scheduled to give a speech at a music event this week but canceled.  He says his son was sick but sources say he wanted to avoid questions about his future at the label.

If you haven’t heard, it has been reported that the Chairman and CEO is in danger of being fired from Def Jam.

Today, on Page Six, they repeated the rumor saying Reid was under tremendous pressure to produce some hits after lackluster sales from Rihanna and Mariah Carey.

Anyway, L.A. was supposed to speak at the $1,000-a-seat Billboard symposium, where all the top music industry players would be, but he backed out at the last minute.

Even if he isn’t about to face termination, his plan for success doesn’t sound too promising. A source told The Post,

“L.A. had to cancel because he was called away on family business, not because his son was ill. That was just a story that went around. He isn’t afraid to answer questions about his future with the label. He is about to sign J.Lo [Jennifer Lopez] and isn’t going anywhere.”

Jennifer just got dropped from her longtime label, Epic Records. She claims she’s the one who left.

Usher’s New Chick Fired From Def Jam!’

A Lady Gaga hater, or Kelis fan, has sent their very own collage into Necole Bitchie, comparing the two songstresses styles, and declaring Nas’ baby mama the queen of originality!

We’ve seen this comparison before, but it was with Rihanna. After all, Kelis perfected that iconic shaved-head haircut years before RiRi, Cassie, Lala, Mel B., Raven Symone and co. did.

In a groundbreaking report released Monday by a leading economic research group, social scientists turned a spotlight on the financial challenges facing an often overlooked group of women, many of whom could not take an unpaid sick day or repair a major appliance without going into debt.

Among the most startling revelations in the wealth data is that while single white women in the prime of their working years (ages 36 to 49) have a median wealth of $42,600, the median wealth for single black women is only $5.

“The popular image is [black women] spend too much, which is the reason they are running up credit card and consumer debt, but the cost of living has risen faster than income, and they need to go into debt for basic daily necessities,” said Meizhu Lui, director of the Closing the Gap Initiative. “It’s compounded because unemployment is twice as high in the black community than it is in the white.”

For all working-age black women 18 to 64, the financial picture is bleak. Their median household wealth is only $100.

“That means half of [black women] have a net worth of more than $100 and half have a net worth of less than $100,” Ms. Lui said. “So that gives you an idea of how far in debt some women of color are.”

(Wealth, or net worth, measures the total of one’s assets — cash in the bank, stocks, bonds and real estate; minus debts — home mortgages, auto loans, credit cards and student loans.)

“There are excuses and circumstances that have evolved in society, which put black women where they are,” said Esther Bush, executive director of the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh. The recession has hit single mothers especially hard.

In Pittsburgh and across the country, the financial burdens of single parenthood fall mostly on women, but black women are more likely to endure the work and responsibility of raising children on their own. They are more likely to be the backbone of their families and communities, with greater responsibilities to support struggling friends and families. READ MORE HERE!

Lance: Back Off Groupies, “My Morning Starts With Eva!”

Here’s some more info about Lance’s move, Our Family Wedding:

“Our marriage, their wedding.” It’s lesson number one for any newly engaged couple, and Lucia (America Ferrera) and Marcus (Lance Gross) are no exception. In Our Family Wedding, they learn the hard way that the path to saying “I do” can be rife with familial strife. When they return from college and too suddenly announce their marriage plans, they soon discover that their fathers – two highly competitive over-the-top egos – can wreak a major amount of havoc on their special day. With insults flying and tempers running high, it’s anyone’s guess if the alpha dads (Forest Whitaker and Carlos Mencia) will survive to make it down the aisle in one piece. Lucia’s mother (Diana Maria Riva) is busy planning the wedding of “her” dreams and the only levelheaded one in the bunch is Angela (Regina King), the groom’s father’s best friend and lawyer, who manages to keep her cool when the madness reaches a crescendo. With only weeks to plan their wedding, Lucia and Marcus soon discover the true meaning of love and find there is truth to the saying – that when you marry someone, you marry their entire family.
