Tameka Foster may no longer be married to Usher, but that doesn't mean she still can't drool over his chiseled abs. The singer's ex took to Twitter on Tuesday and tweeted a shirtless photo of her former husband from the November issue of Men's Health. "......well dizzzzam @Usher . Yep!!! That's it ;-)," Foster wrote alongside the pic. The tweet obviously comes as a bit of a surprise seeing how the two divorced in 2009 and have been battling it out ever since Usher received primary custody of their two sons in 2012. Their most recent court confrontation took place in August when an Atlanta judge dismissed Foster's request for temporary custody of their kids following...

Less than a week since a judge in Atlanta dismissed an emergency request by Usher's ex-wife seeking temporary custody of their two children, Tameka Foster Raymond appeared on “Good Morning America” this morning to discuss the hearing and her son’s accident.
Raymond admitted that she was “mad” that her five-year-old son, Usher Raymond V, nearly drowned in a pool drain, and revealed that she received the terrible news during a dentist appointment when the R&B superstar contacted her.
“He doesn’t call me regularly, so when I saw his number come up I immediately jumped up, cause I figured he has the boys,” she said. “I didn’t blame him for it. I just was angry that it happened on his watch. Because, while accidents happen, never have my children been injured on my watch.”

Atlanta — The son of Grammy-winning R&B singer Usher has been released from the hospital after nearly drowning in an Atlanta pool, a lawyer for the boy's mother said Tuesday.
Five-year-old Usher Raymond V was released from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta-Scottish Rite on Sunday, lawyer Angela Kinley said. She said Tameka Foster Raymond, the singer's ex-wife, saw her son at school Monday when he attended orientation for the new year.
Police say the boy fell to the bottom of a pool behind the singer's downtown home Aug. 5 and became stuck in the drain.
A housekeeper tried unsuccessfully to free him. Two men who were working at the home as audio-visual subcontractors were called to help, and the boy was eventually pulled from the pool then given CPR by one of the contractors.

Atlanta -- R&B singer Usher will hold on to primary custody of his two young sons.
A judge in Atlanta on Friday dismissed an emergency request by Usher's ex-wife seeking temporary custody of their two children.
Tameka Foster Raymond requested the hearing a day after the former couple's 5-year-old son got caught in a pool drain while in the care of the multi-Grammy winner's aunt at Usher's Atlanta home. Fulton County Superior Judge John Goger dismissed her request for decision-making authority after hearing from both sides in court.
After the judge issued his ruling, Usher approached his ex-wife, who broke down while testifying, and gave her a long hug.
Based on the evidence presented at the hearing, Goger said he wasn't certain anyone really could have done anything to prevent the accident. But he also advised the 34-year-old Usher to keep his ex-wife well advised of his...
