Yeah, but it's fun(and not to be taken seriously).

was watchin the news this a.m.- they said Usher's mom was complaining about her looks

She went to get a tummy tuck and lipo.. I guess after 5 kids she wanted to look a little better.. i don't see what the big deal

I don't either. She's not doing anything that MOST of these celebs that are constantly on the cover of US and People magazine for "dropping the baby weight" haven't been doing for YEARS. People are really stupid if they think celebs are achieving those flat tummies after twins and shit through exercise ALONE.

My concern is more about her cuz if he took a neurosurgeon down there it's definitely serious and not a laughing matter IMO. I hope this doesn't turn into another Kanye's mother situation. I mean, five children could lose their mother along with Usher losing his wife.

I didnt even know she was pregnant or just was having a baby. I thought she was just bored and decided to have one.

Has anyone heard how she's doing?

One report I read said she was dead, but I don't trust that source too much.

<--- Wonders if a person might flirt with unnecessary and dangerous plastic surgery in part due to people's relentless jabs at her God-given looks and femininity.

you're right! some of the world's best are in brazil!

That woman is not ugly and she does not look like a man. She looks like a regular Black woman WITH kids, with a regular body and is over age 19 (that's unforgiveable around here I see). People kill me with that nonsense. All that hate is nothing but jealousy. Mad because she managed to marry a rich and famous man who is clearly not hung up on that "hollywood" bullshit.
It's a shame she even considered plastic surgery because there was nothing wrong with her. She's a married woman with 5 kids whose husband has enough money to support her and their family. Why would she need a job? Why can't her job be to raise her kids and be a good wife? They can afford it.
I wish I could find a man these days who was actually man enough to support his family so I could stay home and be a mom to my kid full time. That would a dream come true for me. I guess that makes me a gold digging ho bag to you people.

Usher's wife recuperating from surgery in Brazil

NEW YORK (AP) -- A representative for Usher says the singer's wife, Tameka Raymond, is recovering from surgery in Brazil.

Publicist Simone Smalls says Raymond "is in stable condition after suffering complications from routine surgery in Brazil. Her husband Usher is with her at the hospital."

No further details were provided. In her statement, Smalls says "the family requests privacy at this difficult time."

Raymond was being treated at the posh Sirio-Libanes Hospital in Sao Paulo, a hospital spokeswoman confirmed Monday. She did not give her name, per hospital rules.

Usher was supposed to be one of the performers at music mogul Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party Saturday night, but he had to back out for what Davis called a serious family illness.

The 30-year-old R&B star and his wife were married in August 2007. They have two young sons, 2-year-old Usher Raymond V and 2-month-old Naveid Ely Raymond.
