Usher Blasts Chris Brown

Usher insists Chris Brown should show "a bit of remorse" following allegations he assaulted Rihanna.

The R'n'B singer made the comments after seeing photographs of Chris smiling on a jet ski while on holiday in Miami.

Referring to a leaked police picture which apparently shows Rihanna with a bruised and cut face following the altercation, Usher said: "I'm a little disappointed in this.

After the other photo? C'mon, Chris. Have a little bit of remorse, man. The man is on a jet ski? Like, just relaxing in Miami?"

In the photographs, Chris is seen laughing in the sea and flexing his muscles.

Chris, 19, is accused of beating and choking Rihanna after they got into an argument in his rented silver Lamborghini on February 8.

He was charged with making criminal threats and released on $50,000 bail.

After initially separating, the couple are believed to have reconciled after holding crisis talks at P. Diddy's Miami home last weekend.

Although Rihanna has decided not to press charges, Los Angeles police have confirmed they are still investigating the case and have not handed it over to the district attorney.

Chris' arraignment hearing is currently scheduled for tomorrow (05.03.09)

More Details on Usher's Wife Tameka Foster's Plastic Surgery Complications

More details are emerging regarding the complications suffered by Usher's wife Tameka Foster as she underwent liposuction surgery while in Brazil. Apparently her doctor, Brazilian plastic surgeon Dr. Silvio Sterman, planned to perform liposuction on her while she was only two months postpartum. After being placed under general anesthesia she suffered a cardiac arrest and was revived via CPR. She was then placed into a drug-induced coma in order to run tests and make sure she was stabilized. She has now been discharged from the hospital and is said to be "doing very well."

I do not perform any cosmetic surgery on women who are less than 6 months postpartum. There is no scientific studies which determine that 6 months is a mandatory time frame, but I believe the changes that occur in a woman's body (both physical and hormonal) can persist for months after a baby is born. Liposuction just 2 months after giving birth? In my opinion that is too soon.

Usher's wife Tameka Foster suffered heart attack before liposuction in Brazil

Tameka Foster, the wife of R&B singer Usher, suffered a heart attack after going under anesthetic to have liposuction in Brazil.

Usher cancelled his appearance at last week’s Grammys and rushed to be with his wife who had checked into the Sao Rafael Hospital for the procedure.

Foster, 37, went into cardiac arrest but was revived by heart massage less than a minute after suffering the attack.

She was placed into an induced coma and moved to intensive care. She was then transferred to Sirio-Libanes Hospital in Sao Paolo for recovery, reports the Associated Press.

Foster, a stylist, married Usher in 2007. The pair have two children- two-month-old Naveid Ely Raymond and Usher Raymond V, 15 months.

Usher’s wife Tameka Foster suffered heart attack before surgery

New mum is now in stable condition

Usher's wife Tameka Foster was put into a medically-induced coma after suffering a heart attack last week.

The former stylist, 38, was due to have cosmetic surgery at a hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, when she was taken ill.

‘Tameka Raymond came here on Friday to do a liposuction,’ Ellen Dasptry, a rep for the surgeon who was due to perform the operation, tells People.

‘Shortly after she went under [general] anesthesia, she suffered a cardiac arrest. When an attack like this happens, the doctors put the patient to sleep and make sure that everything is okay and that there has not been any damage. This is the protocol every time and this is what was done.’

Usher, 33, cancelled his performance at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy gala to fly to Brazil to be at his wife's side.

He and Tameka are mum and dad to Naveid Ely Raymond, 2 months, and Usher Raymond V, 15 months. They married in August 2007.

Tameka Foster- Usher's Wife - Update on Plastic Surgery Complications

There are a few news stories that are reporting the current status of Usher's wife, Tameka Foster, who had complications while undergoing plastic surgery in Brazil. They all state that she is in stable condition, which is good. Details are still sketchy, but they include a possible cardiac and respiratory arrest during liposuction surgery. The anesthesia has been implicated as a possible cause, and she may have been induced into a coma for 24 hours.

Hopefully she hasn't suffered anoxic brain injury or another very serious complication. This story continues to develop, and I hope she comes out of it ok.

Usher's Wife - Complications from Plastic Surgery in Brazil

Sources are reporting that Usher's wife, Tameka Foster, has suffered major complications from plastic surgery performed in Brazil. She gave birth only two months ago. A neurosurgeon has been flown from the U.S. to Brazil to help with the situation.

Details are still sketchy, but this case appears to highlight the dangers of having any medical procedure performed in another country. Plastic surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery adhere to strict education, experience, safety, and ethical standards which just aren't comparable to care given in other countries. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has issued a cautionary statement to the public regarding 'medical tourism.' Also, your health insurance will probably not cover medical care given in another country and the complications that can ensue.

Why would a neurosurgeon be flown to Brazil for a plastic surgery-related complication? I'll give some of my thoughts in tomorrow's post.
