Usher can’t catch a break at all; though depending on who you ask the entertainer doesn’t deserve one. On Friday, we told you how Usher had a little stalker situation with a nut job who thinks she’s his lover and protégé all at the same time, but now that Tameka has gotten whiff of this story, she’s going to use this drama to her advantage.

According to TMZ, when the former couple’s never-ending custody trial resumes in August, Tameka and her lawyer will throw this stalker news into the mix as proof Usher can’t provide a safe environment. According to the site’s sources, their sons were with Usher during one of the alleged incidents when Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw showed up at his home. Tameka is supposedly scared for her kid’ safety considering Darshelle was able to get up to Usher’s door, despite the fact that he lives in a gated community with security. In light of the strange woman’s antics, Tameka definitely has reason to be concerned but this is no doubt just the final stake she’s driving into the ground, considering she’s already painted him to be a cheating womanizer and a drug user.

If Usher is granted the permanent restraining order against Darshelle that he’s petitioned for perhaps this will be a non-issue. Otherwise, this might become another point for #TeamTameka.

What do you think about Tameka throwing Usher’s stalker into the case? Is she legitimately scared or just trying to make sure she gets custody?

Usher’s got it rough these days. On top of fighting for custody of his children in court and being exposed as a shameless cheat (if Tameka was telling the truth), now some woman is stalking him, so he says. I was going to say this isn’t just a regular fan but anyone who stalks someone else clearly is missing a few marbles, and according to Usher this woman might be missing a whole lot more because he says she thinks their married.

According to TMZ:

Usher has obtained a temporary restraining order against 26-year-old Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw — who’s listed at 5’2″ … and weighs between 140 and 180 lbs.

According to court docs, Usher claims Darshelle showed up uninvited to his Georgia home on June 23 with the intention of harassing him and his family. Sources close to Usher say she pounded on his front door and demanded to be let in.

Cops were called to the scene … where they warned Darshelle to stay away from the property … and told her not to come back. We’re told Darshelle left the home … but not for long.

Usher says she returned the very next day. Cops were once again called to the scene … and sources tell us Darshelle tried to convince the officers she was Usher’s wife and had simply misplaced her keys.

Darshelle was placed under arrest and Usher immediately obtained a temporary restraining order, claiming Darshelle “placed [him] in reasonable fear for his own safety and/or the safety of his immediate family.” Ursh wants to make the restraining order permanent during a hearing next month and if he takes in this YouTube video that Darshelle posted online I’d say he has a good chance of making that happen.

In an attempt to clear her name, which she says Usher has slandered, Darshelle posted a video claiming that she and Usher have been exchanging money for over a year and that Usher was supposed to have been making living arrangements for her and helping her with her music career. That actually wouldn’t seem that off but it’s the way she’s telling the story and is trying to convince Usher that he really doesn’t realize what he did by placing a restraining order against her that makes her seem a little delusional. She says she has been an advocate for him and comforted him throughout his custody battle and now she won’t be able to do any of those supportive hings, including download his music through iTunes. She also says she’s in love with him. See what I mean?

On the other hand, Usher does have a bit of a bad rep with the ladies, so if he comes in front of the wrong judge looking at his pattern of misleading women, he might have a tougher time making this restraining order stick than he thinks. Check out the video here. Who do you think is telling the truth, Usher or Darshelle?

Every woman thinks she’s a “cool” girlfriend—that she is laid back, goes with the flow, lets her man do what he wants. But, are you really? Here are 7 signs your guy might be walking on eggshells for you…

It was the mid 90’s and life was good.  TGIF was in full effect on the ABC network, instead of Facebook, AOL instant messenger and chat rooms connected you more to complete strangers than friends and no one could tell me that I wasn’t going to marry Marques Houston, the lead singer of the popular boy band Immature who would later be known as IMX.  At the most intense point of my fandom, you could find my walls literally wall-papered in posters of glistening boy pecs and the single “I Don’t Mind” from their first LP blasting faithfully from my room every morning before school.  Whether it was Jodeci, Hi-Five, Shai, N’Sync, Boys II Men or Backstreet Boys we all had boy band or pop star crushes that captured our hearts, and lifted them up only to send them crashing.  Don’t let your favorite one, whether it be the “The Quiet One” or “The Dangerous One” be pictured with the next hot, new starlet and suddenly you felt that you were in an emotional rollercoaster with someone you’d probably never meet.

Now in a time of Twitter and Tumblr, fans of today have one thing that the teen version of me didn’t: What seems to be a direct connection to the celebrities they either would love to be or love to be with.  And more and more the fame monster is preying on the prepubescent, making the obsession with lifestyles of the rich and famous dangerously delusional.

We’ve got the Beliebers, Justin Bieber’s personal disciples who spread the written gospel of “Baby” and “Never Say Never.”  Then there’s the Rihanna Navy who make sure everyone gets drenched in Rihanna’s reign of girl power and stand as the ultimate FU to demure unfashionable females everywhere. Chris Brown’s Team Breezy held it down for the boy through all of his ups and downs.  Trey’s Angels make sure ladies everywhere can show their appreciation for the chisel chested Songz for a mere $30.00 a year membership fee. And if Drake should be proud of anyone it should be Team Drizzy for following him across the globe and making sure a fan book is always there waiting for him.

Just because you’re not riding past someone’s house in an unmarked car doesn’t mean you aren’t snooping. The abundance of information available on the internet and your own personal thirstiness will have you thinking that your behavior is not stalkerish. You may be wrong. If you see yourself in one of these signs it may be time to reevaluate.

Breakups can be a very difficult experience. You’re crying, confused, and your heart feels like it’s in a million pieces. It’s not called heartbreak for nothing. You’re trying to understand how someone who once said “I love you” could now just drop kick you in the chest. And because of all these intense emotions, sometimes we ladies will end up doing some pretty unhealthy or irrational things after a breakup.

I’m not saying that men don’t do unhealthy things as well. But I want to talk to the ladies right now. I know our emotional nature. We women love hard and we love long. And because of this, sometimes it’s hard for us to let go- even if we’re dealing with a man that doesn’t deserve our love. But when a relationship is over, you really have to let it go. Why? Because one, you have to trust that God or the universe has a better plan. Two, you shouldn’t waste time on someone who doesn’t recognize how fabulous you are. And three, the tile of “crazy stalker ex’ is never a good look.

So ladies when a relationship ends, just let it go. You and your ex broke up for a reason. So let it burn. Dry your eyes, straighten your back, lift your chin and keep it moving. Trust that the universe has something better in store for you- because it always does   But while you’re waiting here are 7 things you shouldn’t do after a breakup.
