2007 TRUMPET AWARDS
Thursday, January 25, 2007
The 2007 Trumpet Awards took place on Monday night in Las Vegas. But, who cares about the show…
Perhaps the most interesting sight of the night was Usher with his longtime rumored boo - stylist Tameka Foster. These two have quite a gossip history together - from her cheating on her husband with him to Momma Raymond not approving the relationship.
So seeing them together pretty much confrms all that as true…

Eric Benet w/ daughter and Usher w/ Tameka
other attendees included:

Toni Braxton & husband Keri Lewis | Malinda William | Cedric The Entertainer

I’m sorry but USHERS date looks old as HELL. And he loves the women that are at least 3 inches TALLER then him huh? Has anyone ever had those candies called “LEMONHEADS”? They come in a white and blue box with a lemon head on the front…Well everytime I see Usher, he reminds me of that d@mn lemonhead, because he looks just like it!..I can’t stand him anyway…NEXT!
Speaking of people I can’t stand…ERIC BENNET! Hows life without HALLE Eric? Not so good? Oh that’s too bad, maybe next time you’ll learn to keep your penis in your pants huh? Yeah I think so..
Toni STILL looks FABULOUS..wigs and ALL! But what’s up with her husband having a gray beard with black hair *scratches hair*..must be a “FASHION” thing..NEXT!
Malinda Williams is BEAUTIFUL..but that dress is just…NOT!..
Victoria Rowell is LOVELY!!…
Terrence Howard..SMH…NEXT!!
Lisa Raye LOVES the color WHITE don’t she? LOL. That women lives in a white dress. But I aint mad at her..DO it LISA!
Why is OmaROACHA still getting into EVENTS? UGH, that woman is just HIDEOUS!
Jasmine Guy..LOVE HER..But she is one that has NOT aged well.

Usher may think that crap is cool now, but wait until he gets older and realizes the unseen ( But very much felt!)spiritual damage that he is bringing down on himself because he deals with another mans wife. Not to mention the beating to his image he will take when advertisers and sponsers take into consideration the brazen way in which he conducts his wayward personal ways. I guess it is common practice for the majority of those in hollywood but you never heard of Sidney Portier carrying on like this. You never see Denzel compromising his legacy in such a manner. Usher will now NEVER command this type of universal respect now that he has branded hinself in such an undignified manner.

Lawd I thought that was Ushers Aunt or sister or somethin. LOL. Eric Benet’s daughter is gorgeous! My how she’s grown. Hate Toni’s reg wig. Always have since Libra. Leave red alone Toni. Red is not ur friend. I think she fell off cuz she is only doing Vegas now but Vegas pays well so I cant hate huh? Im sad about her finding out her son is autistic :

Everyone looks great. Eric Benet’s daughter is beautiful. She’s tall too. I hope rumors about Usher and his girlfriend aren’t true. Because a relationship that ends another relationship never work. Maybe she was going through a divorce or separated at the time (I’m trying to give scandalous ass benefit of the doubt, regardless she was still married).

this must be the old chick that left her husband and kids to be with usher,this broad is 37 i think, and dumb as hell. we all know the much younger usher is not gonna be with her for long, as soon as something else comes along that he is more interested in. he does not seem like he is ready to settle down with one woman any time soon.you would think she would know this being as though she is no spring chicken and should have had a few experiences in life that should have made her a bit wiser. karma is gonna bite her in the ass and she will end up all alone, no kids,no husband and no usher of course.

Usher is that ur date or ur momma?
U need a whoopin for that one. Get it together honey. Omarosa, honey, put them fake boobs away!! Lisa Raye know she loves her some white! She will always be the queen of Fabulousness in my book! Malinda is the prettiest little actress ever! She is always glowing!!

…Malinda is flawless as usual. I love Vic and her role on Noah’s Arc as well. That woman has come far and she does a lot for underpriveleged kids/foster kids. She was a foster kid herself. LisaRaye wears white 98% of the time on purpose (she said it) but looks so I cant hate. I thought she was preggers. Maybe she just gained a lil weight. Jasmine fell off. Her pics sans makeup is awful. She isnt aging gracefully. Omarose no comment but I will say the episdoe she was on in I LOVE NEW YORK was funny as hell. lmao

I didn’t know that that woman with Usher was married when she got with Usher (goes to show how much I care about him but now)..Ya’ll given up the GOSSIP. Usher..SMDH! (Shaking my D@MN head!)..A LEMONHEAD and an ADULTURER! *sighs* Well he was ALREADY a CHEATER so..just ADD one more SIN to the list..GOOD LUCK in the AFTERLIFE Usher! Nah i’m just playin’. LOL.

i agree, she does look old. eric benet could have had his daughter’s hair done. lisa raye looks great in white (which i’m sure is why she always rocks it). victoria looks pretty and for those who DON’T know she’s on the young and the restless

Well, if Usher feels srongly for the woman, why not?
Good to see Eric with his daughter…father and daughter.
Damn…why is Keri looking like that…he looks old…he didn’t look like that when he was with Mint Condition. But they are a nice couple, him and Toni…and I envy him.
Malinda looks ravishing and beautiful as always…but that dress didn’t work on the part between her waist and neck…..I wanted to see it flatter her two gils, lol.
Lisa Raye is beautiful. I make sure I watch All Of Us, just to see her.

HO-marosa should have spent her dollars getting that nappy ass hair waxed on those arms if she was going to expose them! I see she bought something the good lawd ain’t gave her…gone Homa.
Cedric…now I got love for him and all, BUT he looks like a baked russet potato wrapped in foil.
It’s nice to see Jasmine Guy - (in her Whitley voice: Dwayne!).
28.

Usher, NEXT….woman.
Toni and her husband are very attractive together.
Lisa Ray is beautiful as always.
Victoria and Terrance are just too adorable.
Eric is one good looking man. Daughter is pretty.
Jasmine is aging rather strangly.
Omarosa needs to get her breast redone. Looks like she got robbed. Looks like she is experiencing a side effect. Poor thing, she tries so hard.

Anyway, Usher do u…chick does look aged in the face, but HELLO, looks aren’t everything. With all that has been posted here, that should be common sense. She got something he like.
Toni’s husband…I don’t know what that gray shyt is all about.
I love Dru! (Victoria Rowell) She’s so pretty.
39.
Such Magnificence
Thursday, January 25, 2007 /
Usher has downgraded with that chick…he should have stayed with Chilli.
I don’t like LisaRaye’s hair or dress…
Omarosa looks a mess as usual…
Eric Benet’s daughter has grown! She looks very pretty…
Toni looks pretty, Keri is looking very mature…
Cedric is getting a lil too hefty, he needs to slow down we want him around for a longtime…
Malinda looks pretty and classy…
Terrence Howard doesn’t look crazy and I see no man-bag thank the Lord…

Umm, Isn’t the Trumpet Awards a celebration of gospel music. Just asking becasue there seems to be a lot of boobage showing here for such a modest event.

Something more should have been done with Toni’s hair and the little girls hair. Just awful I think.
Keri looks distinguished. Love Love Love his beard.
Malinda’s taste is normally impeccable but what happened with the shoes? I hate that black with this dress.
Everyone else looks nice, except Victoria. She’s fuckin gorgeous!!!

I think it sooo sad how you all judge people, based on some wrong ass internet story. I have a close mutual friend to them (Usher and Tamika) they are a happy, great couple. So what if shes older than him not 37 though. She never left her husband or family for him and has been separated looong before the slow azz internet found out. If they’re happy which they seem, then bless them. Chilli is mean and gay, the model is a coke head. need I go on.. love is a beautiful thing and they were friends first until both were single. Only 1/4 of gossip is on point- the rest is fluff for readers. Again my friend in LA is with them and her kids all the time and he adores her, who cares about the 6 year age difference, Chili and Naomi were both older, but ok i guess since you know them on tv. Why care anyway? No bad “karma”, if they are happy no foul. Dont believe the b.s.

YA’LL EVER HEAR THAT SAYING THAT SOMEONE WENT FROM “SUGAR TO SHIT”? USHER AND HIS DATE IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THIS OLD SAYING:
USHER WENT FROM SUGAR (CHILLI) TO SHIT (TAMEKA).
I’M SORRY BUT IT’S THE TRUTH. USHER MAY HAVE A LEMONHEAD AND ALL, BUT I THINK HE CAN DO MUCH BETTER. I’M NOT DOWNING THE WOMAN FOR HAVING KIDS BECAUSE SO DO I, BUT SHE JUST LOOKS WORN OUT.
I REALLY DON’T KNOW HER STORY, BUT LEAVING A SPOUSE WITH KIDS IS KIND OF F***ED UP. I KNOW FIRST HAND….
ON TO THE OTHERS!
VICTORIA ROWELL LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL! lOVIN’ THE DRESS AND HER HAIR LOOKS PRETTY STRAIGHT.
TONI BRAXTON AND HER HUSBAND LOOK NICE. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY MADE A CUTE COUPLE.
BUT IF USHER WANTS TO BE WITH HER WHAT CAN WE DO? I TRY TO STEER FROM MAKING ANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS, BUT I JUST COULDN’T HOLD BACK ON THIS ONE!

Haven’t yall been up on the “gossip”…?? Usher’s date IS old (well older, I should say)…that was why there was so much “Hollywood Hoopla” over them dating…besides the fact that she was also married when she started messing with him…

Usher needs his a** beat!! That’s a hot mess!!! She looks too old and she’s like muscular like what the HELL….. can we say your EX Eisha!! Gorgeous! She a tramp anyway for leaving her man and kids, just NASTY!

Ushers date does not look old like ya’ll clamin.
Not all us men want “Halle Berry’s” on our arms. I appreciate homegirls beauty. She looks like the older ’round the way chick a lil nigga had a crush on but was too young and finally got at her once he matured.
Usher can get anyone he wants. The fact that he wants her speaks volumes on the impact shes made on him and how “beauty” is only skin deep.

Usher’s “date” isn’t as bad looking as some keep saying. She’s just not Hollywood skinny, therefore she looks outta place amongst the skeletons.
And Toni looks treacherous with that awful koolaid-rapunzel red. it’s disgraceful.
Now that Terrence has “made it big”, he’s adopted that INCOGNEGRO serious actor look. Just like the Taye Diggs look. please.

I remember when I was on a shoot with Jessica White (model n friend of Usher’s) n she was saying how he always had older women around him and the other stylist on the shoot already knew about Tameka and his relationship which has been rumored to be going on for years. Apparently they chose this year to make it official and parade it in front of anyone. I’m sorry but it still looks off to me. It’s not her age or background, it’s them together, they don’t mesh.
I love Toni but I’m so irritated that she insist on wearing that wig.
Melinda’s pretty, but her dress isn’t.
Victoria is stunning and classy.
Terrence looks great, the best I’ve seen him so far.
Lisa Raye needs a good stylist cause she’s just wastin her beauty in these frocks.

Usher - There are too many single youngER women out there! What’s wrong with you?
Eric & Daughter - She will be gorgeous when she grows up.
Malinda - Not feeling this dress. Maybe it’s the cut but it’s not working
Victoria - This chic is always on POINT! Go VIC!
Toni & Kerri - I think Kerri is HOT! He really was her knight in shining armor. He was with her thru that whole bankruptcy debacle and still there! That’s a REAL man right there!
Ceddie- Love will make you gain weight!
Lisa Raye - You picking up weight as well girl! In your all too predictable WHITE! Switch it up! Too pretty to be so stuck on that one color.
Omarosa - There’s nothing left to say. “Is that a dent in your boobage?” OOPS! I found something didn’t I? SMH!
CiCi & Donnie : Both look nice!
Jasmine - Whitley is not aging well at all. Please step away from the FLORALS! They are NOT for you!

Doesn’t UR’shers “BOO” have like 20 kids????
Damn shame! All this time I was thinking his mother had his mind right, now I’m begining to wonder why he is so into older women. His mother may have spent too much time being a damn manager and now he’s looking for love in all the wrong places.
Cedric… if that jacket was any tighter…
Well… not the most attractive crowed of black B/C/D- list celebs, but I still love my peeps.

Usher - whateva. who cares?
Eric Benet - he sure is a fine man. Sorry but he could get it.
Ced - back away from the table bruh. He is going a liitle overboard w/the weight.
Malinda - the first time I have seen her not looking on point. The dress has got to go.

@ #42 thanks for the information but we still think this chick ain’t got nothing on Chilli. He downgraded for sure.
Cedric looks nice as always. The boy knows how to dress. I love seeing him and Steve Harvey in suits.
Everyone looks nice except Omarosa moon face a$$.

Thursday, January 25, 2007 /
@57-StylishLibra….I agree. It’s not even her age. I think it’s kind of messed up when a man can date a waaayy younger female, but let a older female date a slightly younger male and there’s an uproar about it. even though if it was my brother it would be a little hard to digest. anyway, I saw ya girl Jessica around my way (workplace) in Manhattan. THE GIRL IS DROP DEAD BEAUTIFUL! SHE IS GORGEOUS!

Wow a homewrecker and a gold digger lol. Anybody knows (if you have common sense) that nothing good comes out of this. How can you bring a girl out that left her husband and family for you? That only makes you look stupid and makes her a slut. Toni looks alright but her husband needs to color that beard or take it off cause that don’t look right. Jasmine guy looks good too.
72.

Jasmine Guy never wears things that are flattering. There is too much going on with that outfit. The flowers, the shoes, the purse. KISS is the key. I think she needs Whitley Gilbert’s stylist.

Personally Tameka is NOT that great face to face. Can ya’ll say photoshop! Anyhow, she needs to get her attitude in check.
And I agree with the points #9 made.

She straight up look like a female version of Usher. He’s not in love with her, he’s in love with himself. Every time he looks at her, it’s like looking at a drag reflection
Eric Benet daughter is pretty, she has grown a lot since the divorce.
Everyone looks nice. I’m not sure why Omarosa is there :~
